played a bunch of rising thunder. wanted to try out vlad but i don’t really get his gameplan, his normals are a lot stubbier than i expected. played crow for a while and won basically all my matches by just doing meaty sweep -> disc projectile.
still getting a grasp on things, and i’m mostly having fun. the one thing i realized playing is that the reason i really like the idea of execution for specials and supers is because it conveys intent. most people are just rubbing their faces on the stick and throwing out huge moves whenever you get near them, so you have to bait a lot which i’m not really into …
Yeah, I feel like they will really have to design the game with 1 button specials in mind. I’m not averse to the idea, but execution is such a huge part of current fighting games that they will have to create another beast entirely. I can see the meta being very different from what we’re used to.
Tried a few hours of Rising Thunder and I’m not particular impressed with the game. Overall, it has a solid foundation and the net code is pretty solid but I’m kind of iffy on the design decisions after getting my hands on the game. A lot of the design decisions are similar to SFV, atm, but it splices in several aspects I hate about SFIV so I’m in this middle ground. Spent all of my time with Crow but need to mess around with a few other characters to see if my initial impressions will change.

maybe rising thunder really is a fighting game, if it can produce salt like this

This is the saltiest mother fucker I’ve ever seen/heard. lolol
i think if your move is invincible and also doesn’t care about what direction you’re facing AND leads to a combo on hit AND is dash cancellable on block … maybe the timer should reset when you press the button, not when the move comes out. at least that way it’s not mashable.
I had to put the game resolution to 1280 x 768 and all graphic settings to low to prevent any frame drops. After running it on the high settings I noticed that after a couple of minutes of playing I would start getting frame drops. My PC is far from being top of the line but I think it should have been able to handle this game on medium-to-high settings.
just played a few online matches. game is pretty fun so far. its convient playing with my wireless controller. arcade stick isn’t really need for a game that requires zero execution.
That sure was the saltiest I’ve ever seen anyone. The video was painful to watch but I just couldn’t look away, like some terrible car wreck with mangled corpses.
On one hand I guess it sucks that people hunted him down all over probably to harangue him, but on the other…what a douche. The day I get to make someone that salty is the day I can finally die happy.
I’m not sure how much I like Rising Thunder either. Intent is a really good point for execution that I didn’t think about. Game is hella about baiting… There’s games like Soul Calibur where this works pretty well, but it doesn’t feel right in a 2d fighter. Maybe because in 3d fighters moves take like 25+ frames to finish?
rising thunder seems alright, im playing crow. found a reset into dizzy pretty quick, one button full invul dps im not a huge fan of but it is what it is
