Agreed, they really should have stuck with the CT announcer. Other than not having Jubei playable, probably my least favorite decision they made for this version. Hopefully in the console version there’s the option to change back to her as well as turn off the “counter” and “rapid” during fights. Those are annoying.
Are we watching the same videos? Rachel still zones to hell by firing a bunch of crap while Noel still charges in mashing A in attempts to score a mix-up. People not having completely figured out how to combo effectively is not having to ‘start from scratch’.
Granted Ragna, Jin, and Bang still pretty much have the same playstyle and combos. As a Litchi player I can definitely tell (with the exception of one her mid-screen bnb’s) that her combos have changed. Actually, a lot of her play style has changed. She’s seems more aggressive with somewhat of an actual mix-up game mid-screen. Far less reliant on corner shenanigans and uppercuts.
saw Tager grab Arakune out of his air super with Atomic Collider at the arcade yesterday lol.
just wondering,who is the boss of arcade mode in CS?
You.
…
…and are the Rachels and Noels in those videos winning? Not exactly; trying to play this game like Calamity Trigger isn’t working out for them. Could it be because they need to start from scratch and relearn their characters? :rolleyes:
J.2C, pumpkin pressure and frog oki are practically gone, and you’re telling me Rachel players won’t have to relearn the game? Zoning only supplemented Rachel’s rush down and oki game, it wasn’t something you solely relied on to win matches. Rachel deals most of her damage when she’s in your face, not throwing bat rods from across the screen.
And no one has any idea what the hell to do with Noel at this stage in the game’s life span. It’s a little more complicated than figuring out how to combo effectively.
Are they winning? What a ridiculous argument. How are you going to look at the outcome of a handful of matches as proof that the character’s playstyle needs a complete reevaluation?
Besides, even the recorded matches that they’re losing, it’s not like their being completely dominated. The majority of the few Noel matches that are up right now it looks like they’re losing because they just attempt CT combos that drop.
how long should we wait for there to be a tier list
…until a couple tournaments happen?
tier lists take a while to fully develop to the point at which they will actually become worth reading.
Wow, they really were trying to make the announcer worse than the new ssfiv one I guess.
Here are some quotes of her for those of you who haven’t heard her yet:
“KAROO ROO KWOVER!”
“WEBUL ONE ACCION!”
“COOOOOUUUNNNNTEEEERRR!”
She’s obviously learning english, so give her time. Next installment I bet she’ll be better at pronouncing basic english words.
She say’s “counter” and “action” fine, its the shear amount of happiness behind it that bothers me. But yeah, there is definitely a problem with her English when Carl’s name is actually pronounced using 3 syllables.
Is Rachel supposed to be zoning or rushing? Cuz neither of them seem to be working out for her.
Can you quite posting dots, it’s annoying and spamming up my internetz
So in looking at this video [media=youtube]pyREvcQxngM[/media] I really have to wonder how Tager vs Lambda is any different than Tager vs Nu. Seems the only way he could get in was Spark Volt and once the opponent got wise to that he was sunk. Granted I’m not a particularly good player so maybe I’m missing something.
So it looks like Rachel is really bad this time around…
I’m sticking to my mantra though, Rachel for life. She’ll be back to form, if not in CS than in the next iteration.
Rachel for muthafucking life!
That’s good initiative you have there, + rep…
that vid is bad. could barely stand to watch it.
Vs Lambda, Tager looks like he can actually fight back. Vs Nu, Tager players were hoping for either a bad nu player, or failing that, hoping for the nu player to get bored of himself (but then if the nu player didn’t have the patience to play out the fight the right, but boring, way then maybe the nu player wasn’t a good nu player to begin with)
anyways, a much better example of the new matchup: http://gamenyarth.blog67.fc2.com/blog-entry-4926.html?id=sm8916928 (second match)
Not saying the fight is ever going to look pretty. But at least now Tagers have a reason to hold on to the controller.
