I think some general system updates would help a lot.
I’d prefer to minimize “general system updates” actually. Changes that affect all characters might fix a few things, but they could also break a whole lot of other things.
Just an example: Capcom claimed they had to nerf throws because Tekken characters were getting thrown out of their Tekken strings. Assuming they’re telling the truth, nerfing throws (a general system update) did fix that problem, but it also made characters that relied mostly on tick throws a lot weaker.
Lol, Ono “stepped down” because he was sick. And, if you’ve noticed, he’s still basically doing everything he used to do before “stepping down”. He’s still traveling around giving presentations, he still the guy people communicate with on twitter, he’s still heavily involved with everything SF, he’s still “THE GUY”. You all are way reading too much into that.
Second, THIS is what I really want translated (from Ono’s Twitter
Sounds like they’re looking for feedback on assist gems and willing to change in the future, according to crappy Google translate.
By the way, Rufus nerfs make my day.
All I need now are Ryu nerfs + Auto Gem nerfs and we’ll be going places.
Aren’t the paid gems just the preorder gems?
I imagine people who preordered would be pissed if they gave those away for free…
Good point.
Good Rufus players only really use divekicks in neutral position for whiff punishment. Fraud Rufus just divekick like a moron. If anything it gets rid of the frauds.
Ryu don’t need nerfs. If you can’t body a fraud Ryu with the whole cast by now, then you just suck.
HK doesn’t combo and MK *is *unsafe.
He was asked how did Capcom originally envisioned assist gems to be played? He says the team is working on balance in general,not just on assist gems but balancing the game entirely, and that they welcome all feedback they can get.
In English.
They’re still saying Rufus is at -4 and he also had a hurtbox added to his feet.
He still didn’t answer the question though. It’s a shame. I would’ve wanted to know what exactly they had in mind when they designed the assist gems.
No one has problems beating bad Ryu’s… You apparently have trouble distinguishing a bad one from a good one, though.
What is Ryu a master of in this game?
Damage? No.
Team synergy? No.
Zoning? He could be called a master, but he certainly isn’t the best at it. I’d face 50 Ryus before trying to crack a Chun of the same skill level.
Mixups? Obviously not.
Ryu lacks weaknesses. He is a solid character just like I expected him to be. But he is not the best at anything, nor should he be. His super is non-cinematic? What’s the point in even saying that when you can get the same damage from 2 switch cancels. Ryu is not a rush down character so it’s often in his best interest to waste time.
He still the producer of SFxT and SF4 but i don’t think he’ll be producing anything in the near future.
I’m seeing some people complain about Bison’s super being blockable on fifth hit. Wasn’t that a bug or something? I don’t play him but I saw a video on it.
Juri nerfs ugh. But at least they’re nothing major. I never ended block strings with pinwheel anyway because it was always unsafe.
According to Google translate: “Feedback would be appreciated in the future regardless of the assist system, so I can go ahead by the development team coordination in this area.”
I’m pretty sure regardless is supposed to be “regarding”.
o_o
You haven’t played a good Ryu. ***Period. ***
Good god there’s some overblown Ryu nerf talk in here. He’s super solid for sure but the over-exaggeration by some is quite ridiculous. How does he have ALL the tools?? Command grab? Mixups? Rush down? Dive Kick, teleport, counter, Dark Phoenix?? No. Stop being a bunch of drama queens.
He’s widely regarded as being one of the best characters, if not the best, in the game, but sure, whatever you say.
one down raven to go
Well Juri got nerfed. If he wasn’t Capcom’s golden boy he probably would have been nerfed too honestly
