This isnt really a turtling game anyway, any more than any other game. I use anakaris and mukuro, and I dont think that I turtle at all honestly, theres never a time that I’m sitting doing nothing. Youre just upset cause you are using characters that lose to Guile. Both my characters beat him so, I dont sweat Guile :). Who else besides him is a turtling character? Maybe Nool? Or are you confusing playing foot games with turtling? I find that newer players all equate turtling with not jumping, but just cause youre not jumping around like a retard doesnt mean youre turtling…
Anyway I dont think its a great game but its new and its fun to a degree, theres alot of things I like. I like the system in general, but I do not like the HARD CORE matchup issues this game has. I use anak and mukuro for the one reason that I cant find any other characters that arent countered HARD by someone. I feel sorry for the zangief users that have to fight me, same for the guiles and honestly any ST character. All the ST people but Bison are a free win for anakaris…literally. So are half the Alpha people and warzard ones. Its funny to fight Hauzer with Anakaris. 10-0 matchup. Just float at the far side of the stage and drop coffins on him. You can do the same thing to gief. I dont mind counter characters but part of the fun is finding ways around your counter character and fighting the best you can…I dont mind an 8-2 matchup but this game has 10-0 matchups for the first time since mvc2. Id rather fight Sentinel with Jin than fight Anakaris with Zangief. Theres just simply no way to win if the other player knows how to do one special move.
My solution is to use my team since I havent found anyone that hard counters them. It sucks though if you wanna use an ST person or a 3s person though…sorry about that.
kenji/mukuro is the ultimate turtle. That stupid jp :hp: owns everything it touchs, and it covers more than 50% of the screen. If you’ve played a turtle kenji, you’ll know what i mean.
I do that all the time with him, but maybe you guys have a different definition of turtling than me. If youre jumping around pressing buttons then youre not turtling. Mukuro does fireball traps with his kunai and with df+forward and jump fierce. Thats not turtling thats projectile pressure. People seem to confuse playing smart and not taking risks with turtling, thats just common sense I thought. By your definition, every character in street fighter 2 is a turtle. Street fighter games are all about both people playing safe till someone gets impatient/greedy and messes something up and gets hit, its always been like that. All the newer games seem to have made people forget that basic fact. If you dont like that style of play, you dont like street fighter. Not directed at anyone in particular but it’s true. This game is no more or less turtley than street fighter 2, in fact it is much less turtley than street fighter 2 was. So the “this game is a turtle fest” is only applicable if you are some kid that started playing games with marvel, like 3/4 of the people on this board are apparently.
Maybe I’m just going through culture shock, as I just realized recently that everyone who is playing games didnt start out on street fighter 2…to almost all the people I talk to, marvel is the first competitive game that they played. So of course it seems turtley to someone like that. To those people I can only say, I’m sorry, I wish that you had a good game to play when you started out so you wouldnt think the way you do. I doubt any game will ever satisfy you. Again not directed at anyone in the thread but I’m sure this describes many of the people that hate on this game. Until the next game where you can hide behind an assist and attack with total safety, you’re all going to be bored.
Again not to say the game is good, I dont think its that great, but people are complaining about all the wrong things. The gameplay system is good, the graphics dont matter, anyone who says 20 characters isnt enough for a fighting game is a crackhead. The problem I see with the game is that they just didnt give enough options to some characters and that many of the matchups are free wins. The game is like playing rock/paper/scissors. If you get a bad matchup you lost the round, sorry. With a little tweaking it could have been a great game but every time that anakaris fights zangief or some other similar matchup, it really shows the game’s problems. Give the super turbo people some more movement options and that would fix most of the problems in my opinion. Give zangief a roll, for example, and that would fix his anakaris problem right there. Another option would be to allow for groove selection instead of forcing you to play with the groove of the character that you use. Zangief wouldnt have these problems if he had a dash and a pursuit lol. I dunno, but the way the game is shows a lack of planning.
I love how you think you know me or something and automatically think i suck. LOL :rolleyes:
Why dont you please just shut your mouth and not talk to me like im your fuckin HOMEBOY in the projects.
For your information ive played all the other games (MVC2, CVS2, ans 3S). I am totally WELL aware of how the others play.
And i think they play far better then CFJ.
Anyways, im outa here. Your lack of puncuations, massive amounts of spelling/grammar errors, and extreme ghetto-isms are hurting my head. :rolleyes:
