T-Rexes have traditionally had pretty good reach in fighting games.
That said…
GG is one of those games where if, all other things being equal, the better and more knowledgable player will pretty much win 99% of the time. Granted, that’s how most competitive fighting games work, but in GG the difference isn’t just that subtle “oh why do you win so much” it’s more of a blatant “wtf just happened oh man you’re cheap” kind of thing. It’s EXTREMELY difficult to get random people interested in playing seriously because the game is just really intimidating to get into- the general B&B for most characters just LOOKS all kinds of hard and crazy and stuff. The game itself is hardly impossible for someone to pick up and learn to a decent level in a few weeks, given a lot of play time and some coaching. Again, it just looks more complicated than it is sometimes.
Getting random scrubs to play is no problem, though, there’s always more than enough anime nerds to have people on a machine. The real difficulty is convincing them that they could get good enough to compete with a serious player if they invest the time, money, and injuries to their pride.
I think the big issue as well is accessibility to the game. The lack of a region 1 game kind of pushes people away as well because of money issues. While it’s not even that expensive to mod a PS2 and import Slash, some people don’t even want to spend that kind of money on a game they may not even like.
“hrm…” is nowhere near a quality post and I’m not having this thread turn out like the last one where you guys started posting random bullshit and furry confessions. No more of you guys on dustloop saying SRK threads are where you should spam.
Question: is it me or zappa got stronger?i was playing with my roomate and got (3) 2+HS and he was dizzy almost everytime. thats kinda crazy since it can be used as a AA. Oh and I hate ky in slash, so annoying.
zappa got severely nerfed. being a non-zappa player, i can’t go into details but the only significant benefit he recieved in slash is the improved sword… which is unfortunately still his worst weapon. dog has been nerfed, and damage output for ghost combos is way down. i feel particularly bad for zappa players because their character was already low tier in #r, but got even weaker in slash.
as for the your friend getting dizzied, my assumption is that he just got counter hit a lot.
