interesting sword he has. it has a really long handle.
looks like you don’t need to preorder to get the season pass free, according to that trailer. you can buy it on the 25th and it still counts as long as it’s before the 30th.
Yeah, that’s exactly what they announced last week.

How come?
And to add to that: what characters are good for actually learning the game?
i must have missed that. the playstation store doesn’t make that clear

IN MY OPINION, if we’re talking about 5Sp especially, you can play really badly and still win. Most of the Charlotte players I’ve played are bad players that just get carried by the character, plus she doesn’t take advantage of a lot of the core important elements of the game the way a character like Genjuro (who is a great character, a swiss army knife, and a great way to learn a lot about the game and how it works with the way he plays.)
There are good Charlotte players out there but it’s easy to just not learn because the character itself makes up for a lot of player defiencies.

Foo is a really solid player. I wish I could have gone to combo breaker this year, it would have been nice to get some more hands on with the game.
I’m not surprised Genjuro won the tourney but I’m surprised he went for only $70.

Yeah, I think most vets put him (and Earthquake) at high value due to being seen as a “scrub killer” based on recent footage.

the last earthquake match was kinda strange. his opponent seems to have a anti air special but the amount of damage it nets was next to nothing especially compared to normal hits which the earthquake player cashed in on. is this a specific thing or do they overall do not so much damage?
If you’re talking about genjuros dp then yeah it seems to to specfiic to genjuro and maybe haohmaru
His DP now seems to work as a tradtional dp now meaning the damage comes from deeper hits, where as before especially in 2 and 5sp you always had to dp wanting to hit with the tip than the deep hit.
I know now his deep hitting dp does major damage which it never used to in 2 5sp they seem to mess about with it every game, this new game seems to have really buffed the dp in terms of damage
even hoahmarus dp suffers the same meddling, back in 1 and 2 you could use it and an anti air it dished out nice beefy damage then from 3 they changed it so that anti airing not only did less damage but the hitbox for it was terrible in terms of vertical range, there’s times you might land it as an anti air and it does like a blocked fireballs amount of damage, not worth the risk
If you want a dp that does damage regardless then use yoshitora or kyoshiro or maybe even charlotte, but in general your normals with do more damage your anti air specials for the most part

Damn I’m hyped for this game, I hope there’s a big enough player base for it on ps4.

They really seem to have turned back the clock on a lot of aspects of the game, DPs included. I like how Yoshi had 3 levels of DP that had different speed and invulnerability frames, I hope they keep that in the new game.
The Genjuro player who won the tourney is a buddy of mine, but he hasn’t really had a lot of good things to say about the game after getting to play it more. I’m holding out on judging it until I get my hands on it, but if what he’s said is right, the game plays more like SS2 with elements of 4 added in which I’m honestly not terribly excited about.
