How should TOs handle the Gem System? (READ THE OP, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BALANCE)

This is just hearsay, that hasn’t been confirmed either way yet. Do not spread this around like it is true until we know FOR SURE that it is true.

Alot of these players are misguided, purely misguided better?

tis the reason i wrote I “heard” :wink:

I mean… WHAT?

There won’t be options. As soon the optimal build for any character is discovered, there will be no reason to not use it.

Plus, there is also better ways to add variety to any FG.

Like yours?

A lot of people do have played the game. And that’s why a lot of us want the old chain system back.

And you’re so unfunny that I can’t even laugh.

Just allow the ones that AREN’T DLC. As stupid as Capcom can get, I’m pretty sure that most if not all the important stat gems will be on disk, possibly as unlockables.

I don’t see the point in banning the default gems right away. DLC I can understand because of the money issue, so we’ll just have to wait and see on that front.

Why should we be selective in which gems we ban and which ones we do not? All of them should be on, everyone should have to use the same 5 gems, or all should be off. If you kill me in just one of your bnbs or you get to throw hadoukens with sonic boom end lag, I demand to be able to auto block. Its the same principle.

facepalm this is a different fighting game and that’s that

ok ur entitled to ur opinion as i am mine, I just think it dumb judging a system or a game for that matter when it has not been played through it’s final build

Laughing out loud…ur calling it an old system already…that was beta version anyways

I am not trying to be funny n anyway…I think its pathetic & funny for players to already be calling for banning of gems at tourneys when they dont fully understand the dynamics of the “gem” system or it’s ramifications using them etc. etc.

And yes u cant ban them, so having a discussion about it is pretty pointless b/c Ono said there is not an option to do so, so yeah deal with it and the rest of the complainers

off topic

why do you use “lag” to refer to the recovery frames of a move?
in fact why is there a lot of new members saying using lag instead of the right term, and why no one is correcting them? :confused:

Oh my gosh Im done on this subject, what is the fricking problem? Crying and complaining is what most ppl do best on srk

I feel worse for the people playing this game more than I do for the ones organizing tournaments for it.

Ah well, have fun figuring this out gents. This is a headache I’m not going to bother with.

well from what i can understand. you can equip up to 3 of the same Gem, by doing to it stacks but the requirement goes up. so with 5 slots you can do alot with that. It add some layers to it as you can really build a team that focuses on a certain strategy, like having on character be a Battery and another use that meter effectively are potential set up, and with the diversey of each gem it will take a long time to find out every optimal get setup for each character.

i can see why people want to ban DLC gems, i wanted to do so because i dont want this to become a problem later down the road, if i got to a tournament and they dont have the Gems i use on the regular basis. this not only affects me but other players who used the DLC Gems. I would like it if people got their shit together and pony up the $ to pay for all the DLC because it shouldn’t be a excuse in having the full experience to everyone. this problem could be solved with getting rid of the DLC ones, but if we do leave it own…TO gotta be on their shit.

edit: grammar error

I kinda want DLC gems to be banned so TO’s don’t have to spend so much money. All though the gem system seems fun. Gems just look cool XD

(random but gems should be could swag gems… just sayin…)

its responsability of the TO to have ALL the important content released for the game
its something that is already known, if the problem are the costs, they can amortize them through the tournament fee
i dont know how it is on xbox 360, but managing DLC on ps3 is not a problem, you only need an account with all the dlc for every 5 ps3 that you have, so if you have 15 units, you only need 3 accounts
if they dont want the hassle of buying them they can always organize it before the tournament with the local scene to have all of what is needed to have everything running for the tournament

and yes i have organized many tournaments in the past, and not just for fighting games, racing games and football soccer games aswell (to name some)

not buying this game. No option to disable gems is just dumb…smart move by capcom though. Staying competitive will require money it seems.

I didn’t all that i though they only suppost to have DLC in relating to characters/balance patches.
if they do Adopt DLC Gems then this makes this discussion very easy to deal with, and that it becomes mandatory for them to have it. now the other problem relies in the individual player who dont get the DLC…in which alot of people are adamantly saying they wont pay for it already…

another question even though its kinda off topic, the PS3 is used for most Tournaments right? so the 360 is only used for exclusive games if that problem arises? like maybe Phantom Breaker when that hits stateside?

Just a thought; if your opponent has auto-tech, you could force them to lose all their meter by tick throwing them. LOL

that would only work when the gem proccs even if you actually tech the throw, which I doubt. so it’s just another fail safe mechanism that helps you if you fail.
the tech gem doesn’t seem as good as the auto-guard gem.

from wht i know there on usa many tournaments are held on 360
i run them on ps3 because its more easy to handle all the dlc stuff, plus they dont die on me for no aparent reason like the 360’s

as for phantom breaker, i dunno man, 1st of all im more interested to know if the game would develope a scene on usa , or in japan for the matters, it seems very niche, and the fact that its a 360 exclusive on a country that doesnt seem to care for the console (japan) and the other one doesnt really care for games that arent made by capcom (even worse if they have ***“lolis”***) i dont see the game having dlc’s making a lot of problems since i dont see having an scene to begin with

Spoiler

loli define by srk means a game with a cast with a male female ratio around 50 or even great in favor of the females despite their age and appearance, hell rescently someone called Phoenix wright a loli esque character :rofl:

lolz i though the term Loli-con was to be a pervert or a pedophile~ oh well
but back to Gems if TO do indeed buy all the Gem…there will be stubborn people who didnt download them, how do they deal with them?

i dont want any speed bumps when it comes to running this game in tournaments, as people love to complain about something.
