To the guys with the backordered sticks. Just call Bestbuy. Mine is confirmed to ship on the 22nd.
I don’t see anything about KI stick on the Best Buy Website. Link Please?
Well just as I was about to cancel my pre order at Gamestop the guy at the store assured me that I will have my stick at the latest on Monday and that it may even be there next Friday.
So basically 3 options now.
-
Wait to see if my online order comes in before 22nd and use that stick.
-
If that doesn’t come I should have one at Gamestop soon after.
-
If both of those come through ill most likely sell the other one to my brother so we can both have sticks for tourneys and casuals.
Getting a full Ultra against you doesn’t mess with your psyche any more than a Fatality would. You get the same for losing in any shape or form.
Again, Ultras cannot be touched because they’re a legitimate gameplay mechanic however I would not be surprised and honestly I would be in favor of forcing the use of Ultra Enders, or at the least no extension of the Ultra until you’ve won the entire match. Ultras still relevant, matches keep moving along, you get to style after you’ve won, Ultras won’t get stale so fast. It’s simple, everyone wins.
The whack part is that MadCatz could just come out and clear all this confusion up for us but for some reason they aren’t. And usually reasons for not coming out and telling everyone what is going on are for bad reasons.
@saitsu I think its something that can fix itself without any rules. It would look really stupid for a fighting game community that doesn’t ban much anything to ban an after match aesthetic in any capacity.
It took us 3 years to convince Mr.Wiz that 3/5 Marvel doesn’t take too long, this should be fine. Everyone will have their own style or personality regarding the ultras and some people won’t even use them. I say leave it up to the players since the matches are going to go by wicked fast any way.
@purbeast, at this point I don’t want to hear anything from Madcatz anymore. Just TE2s at my steps or at GS. They’ll hear me if things go sour.
That’s true I just hope I can manage to do the padhack w/o breaking the board.
I re-preordered from Gamestop again, But I have a feeling this isn’t going to end well.
Then I don’t think you’ll want to watch KI on streams.
I dunno, fatalities are much shorter than ultras and the window for inputting them slim…
Also the music cues + announcer in KI3 is much more psyche crushing.
Although you could counter this by screaming ULTRA COMBO with the announcer and then give your opponent -10% morale for the next round.
Filthie Rich bringing KI to Next Level arcade. Supposedly starts at 2PM EST. You know where to watch it.
So apparently Xbox1 controllers don’t work on PC. I doubt I will go get one and try to mod one of my joysticks for it since I can’t test it out. I forgot I have an old SF:AC joystick modded with happ parts sitting around that I modded for 360 a while ago, but stopped using once I built a Sanwa one. I wouldn’t mind gutting it though to wire up an x1 pad, but I would have no way to test it.
X1 controllers will work on PC eventually, just not at launch.
They said they would have it working in a few months… So yeah. Not sure how that affects modding though.
It doesn’t effect modding, but there is just no way until the Xbox1 is out that you can actually test if you have it wired up properly.
I Went back to my local Microsoft store this morning and they had all 6 charters unlocked so i spent a good amount of time with Orchid. She’s a character you can easily pick up pretty much like sabre wulf. Her rekka’s are really good for keeping pressure and building meter, same with the flick flack… I imagine lots of people will use her…
I tried Sadira for the first time, took her to practice mode and man, she just feels funny. Seems like she’ll need allot of attention before you get a good grip for her play style because her ground options feel so limiting but she can do whatever she wants in the air. And ya, that instinct mode is gonna be maddening in the hands of a specialist.
I played Orchid in survival mode for about 30 min and didn’t loose so i quit and picked Glacius and tried survival again and lost on the first character lol. I sill wanna main him but its clear you cant just pick him up. His zoning is unique because everything thing is based on setting up for shatter, i will defiantly need to put in the hours to get my mind set right for him. Ive decided to pretty much just use him exclusively for week one and take my beatings so can learn how to fight people properly with him.
After watching so many hours of streaming you think you know what you’re doing but once you start playing its clear you’re ass lol. I was forgetting to break combos at first but then got into trying it pretty much every time, actually watching the speed of the hits… But counter breakers and shadow counters aren’t even options i keep in mind yet.
Ive gotten used to the pad and the controller, it actually feels pretty damn good, but i still really need a 6 button pad asap using the trigger buttons for moves always felt awkward in any fighter. All that being said, im hype as hell, i took off from work Friday and Monday so f those for days im off the Rl grid.
You can theory fight and watch all the streams…once you actually start playing KI…shit changes wayyyy too much as it’s fast as hell an a lot to think about at the same time. Can’t wait to own it, it will take a while for people to grasp everything together and proficient at it.
WIndows won’t even recognize it as a generic HID? I suppose you could just going into training mode and turn on the on-screen input display, but that’s still an iffy way to do it.
SUNDAY
SUNDAY
SUNDAY!!
shit so, Filthy just said next week we’ll get to see spinal and fulgore.
Edit: On another note in the stream chat i asked markman if Madcatz is making a 6 button pad for Xbone anytime time soon and this is what he said. markmansdt: Shinonyx: nothing we can announce at this time but we are aware people want them
I just got this tweet response from MadCatz.
