Gen General Discussion Thread: Theory Fighter!

lol. somebody beat you to it in another thread

I really hope the old man will get some buffs in the next patch…I was happy that at least Seth understands how we feel a little

? I checked all new posts and didn’t see it at all.

Oh I see it now, sorry Zukuu

multiple posts of good news is ok

I am pleased by this.

messiah, i found the original post on the capcom unity forums. I think capcom actually responds to fans if they post it on the ask capcom section instead of the street fighter section. The person who started it only had a couple of posts but seemed to know a thing or two about Gens nerfs since he also mentioned his meter gain and oga cross up setups. He also mentioned Jibbo dropping the character :o

I think you are talking about umm newtype Andy? He posted something a long time ago maybe a few weeks after Super came out. And Seth replied. Is that what you are talking about? or this recent news?

Nay, this posters name was Brad, topic looks like it was made a week ago. I think he kept bumping it until someone (Seth) decided to reply.

ga why do i love playing this character so much even more then ibuki, i swear i had more fun playing gen last night only winning a few matches against good people with him.

played ibuki tonight won more matches but it was more annoying in the matches i lost then when i use gen. haha i think gen just fits my play style way too much.

oh this is with me not touching gen in about 1 mouth haha

Yeah thats Andy one of the two legit Gen players in Australia. Also old news.

Um thought Andy was from IN? And the post where Seth replied recently isn’t old news. Hence recently.

Ultras first or second, either one of them I use for the character Gen. Switching style stances for him is something common when playing with someone. From them, I use what stragedy that can work against who ever I play and having patience from either a far or close situation.

Often I have used that down and weak kick from the second stance after I jump and do nothing, while the person who I play against gets back up and the weak kick hits, I use the super meter into the kick special switching back to the first stance, or the super meter into one of the Ultra moves, switching back to the first stance. I used this to KO someone at times, because too many seem to block and wait alot.

wait… what? O_O

all about the stragedy

SF is like chess. You need a strategy going in. You need to know all the tools available that work vs each character. You need to know the other characters strategy as well. Taking in everything you need to be able to change your game plan on the fly, and always try to think three steps ahead. I think that’s why a lot of people have problems with resets. Basically it comes down to something like this.

“I’m going to do this move, if it doesn’t work I’m going to do this. If it does work, I’m going to do this.”

ok, bit out of nowhere but after trying gen and being completely baffled by stances i came to the conclusion there is no real point in having them seperated anymore.

why not let him have everything at once?
none of his specials over lap in inputs
his crane normals could be his command normals
and his crane jump could have super jump notation.

why not?
i’d love gen if he was like this instead of having such a complex and not-very-streetfighter-like stance system.

no NO NO NO NO there is nothing wrong about his stances, it work in alpha games and it works in this game.

i want to play gen because of his two stances and the chances of having my opponent guess what normal im going to do.

if you want a command normal crazy character play ibuki, trust me she got so many command normals it crazy.

ga i cant believe someone would suggest this shit. ba ba ba gekiro should be like dp i hate timing shit so i can just get the full hit we should make gekiro like his ex version.

Really come on if i wanted that i would just play ryu.

Try going to alpha 3 and choose X-ism Gen. That’s the result of capcom making him have moves of 2 stances mixed up in 1. There’s no guarantee they won’t do that again if this happened.

If they WERE to mix the stances, i would only want 5 moves from crane. Jumping fp(jumping fwd fp?), Jumping rh(jumping fwd rh?), Oga(as is), Mp(as fwd mp), and cr.rh(as fwd cr. rh). That said, I don’t want them to do it. That’s just HOW i would want them to do it IF they were.

All i want is my damage back :sad:, then i’ll play gen seriously again. If they decide to do it through more meter gain to give us more chances to capitalize on openings I wouldn’t be opposed and would be pretty pleased actually. BUT i would like mk xx hands combos back :wgrin:.

Also,
every game is like chess :rofl:
