GG’s Capcom.
I think the bet gems are the basic ones, like land 4 special hits, your partner connects with a launcher, etc etc.
They are easy to activate, the partner connecting with a launcher power gem is nice because its basically free damage for you.
Idk i got the special edition for the coin bank and all the 45 gems I downloaded don’t even get used.
Everyone is making a big shit over this, but it’s stupid. These are assist gems. They shouldn’t count for serious play including at tournaments.
The assist gems are supposed to make noobs feel good but even Ono said that real players wouldn’t use them. They’re not supposed to be a factor.
Assist gems are the only ones that fuck with game mechanics like tech and blocking or simple commands. They are in a different league than the other categories.
Basically people are having a shit over the equivalent of free charge move shortcuts from the 3DS SFIV or something. You don’t use those in real play, ergo the game isn’t broken in real play.
HAVING SAID THAT there should be an option when playing online to automatically ban assist gems from ranked play and player lobbies. But it’s not a problem to tell people playing offline “assist gems are banned, they are not for real play”.
It costs 2 gem slots.
And, as a counter hit, it generally only affects one hit in a combo, meaning it really isn’t that bad.
But, who cares about facts, man. The rent-a-lynch-mob is already here, and it’s too late for a refund. Rage on, SRK.
Mentioning Ono as a credible source, REAALLY?
So my suspicions were indeed confirmed. Glad I’m skipping this game.
I think everybody now knows why Ono thought that customized fighters were the future.
There are some default gems that are the same except one has a negative. I think the idea is to use them both so their effects stack at the time. It’s dumb that you have to buy the other gems without the negatives, though.
I predict gems will not be seen in tournament play as this mechanic is similar to LoL rune system, which is often ( always? ) banned in tournaments, and if allowed, only in a limited setting.
Fuck pride, I’ll troll the shit out of people during ranked matches with the uber assist gems.
hey…how else are they gonna pay for that $500000 series of tournaments
I do agree that there should be an option online to turn off these gems, but Capcom won’t do that because then people will feel if they purchase them, they will get excluded from a good part of the community, so that will lower their sales. Capcom is going to allow people to use them so that everyone feels like they have to buy them or get screwed. Some of the boost gems aren’t really that bad and honestly don’t affect the gameplay that much, however some of the assist gems are absolutely ridiculous.
The one that got me was the instant-throw escape 3-slot gem. Sure you can only have that gem equipped, but you do realize that means you can never be thrown by a normal throw in the entire game, and guess what you lose…NOTHING!!! Absolutely nothing! Are you kidding me Capcom? That is so unfair! Just because I cannot afford a gem someone else can, I automatically cannot throw them -___- that is just a new level of unfair.
this seriously makes me want to stop playing this
right after i was enjoying myself too. oh well
Wha… how does that even… who brought that into consi-… WHY?!!
Now that I closely looked at the video…this is just overboard. I thought they said they balanced the gems…
yea but seriously I lost respect for Seth killian. I understand he’s just doing his job, but his opinions is pretty worthless to me now. Sucks that the future of this game is overpowered gems.
This game was made for casuals…and casuals only.
Runes are allowed 100% in League of Legends tournaments, but players are given access to all of the runes.
The downside of the pre-order gems is that they take more than 1(2 for most of them) slot to use, some subtract a certain percentage of speed or damage or something also and they’re also harder to activate.
I’m guessing the future gems are also gonna give you better boost’s but also be harder to activate and take up 2-3 gem slots.
Haven’t heard of any pro players that don’t love it.
will this make tournament organizers finally ban gems?
