To be honest even though I just picked it up like less than a week ago, I am a little unsure about it. Could be wrong, but it doesn’t feel like a game that would have lasting appeal. Who knows though, look how long it took before 3S had a “revival”.
Cause I can buy autocombos and perfect blocking and throws. p.s. picking on ricks intelligence is like picking a fist fight with ghandi either way it’s no contest.
Yes I do have new Law Tech for dealing with anti Airs
-
Don’t fight Rufus with Law
That is a near impossible fight I have won it in the past but only because my opponents were retarded.
This is the only thing that holds Law back.
Rufus and Raven give 80% of the cast trouble though.
If they got nerfs Law would dominate tournaments forever -
If you do come into the unfortunate situation were you have to fight Rufus build two bars as fast as you can then do a tag cancel Ex somersault
into a combo with cammy and then Fight him with cammy(that must be at least 6-4 in Rufus’s favor but still it’s better than fighting with Law) -
Air to Air with Jumping Mp
If you jump with this move and have to intention of air to airing with this move you will nail your opponent 100% of the time. -
Slide underneath close jump ins to escape pressure
You probably already knew this -
Ex Dragon Charge
Juri Can’t throw out dive kicks against Law because of this move.
It has one hit of armor and the punch follow up will cause crumple
which you can get a large combo off of.
I have more but I will share later.
Sharpen your Senses!
Well the more tournament exposure the game gets the less excited people are to play it. I think most supporters of the game are fully aware of it’s faults, and personally speaking even in spite of it’s flaws I still enjoy the game and have a fun time with it. I’ll continue to play it and encourage it’s consumption, but in doing so I realize the pool of players willing to indulge the game is becoming less and less each day.
My concern is that if players turn away sfxt then what are we left with…sf4 for another 3-10 years!
It adds the Tekken Tag Team tournament dynamic to SF.
If they fixed the problems this could be the best game ever.
P.s Tekken Tag Team Tournament is my favorite Tekken game of all time
and one of my favorite fighting games period
The fact that Rufus is in it was the nail in the coffin for me. Next to several other nails in its coffin.
Thanks osb, I’ve come to a similar conclusion vs Rufus and my only real defense is neutral jump and blocking as effiecently as possible. I had no idea about the jumping mp air to air, I was constantly getting beaten out cause I was just relying on HK and Mk a lot…funny how his best air to air is similar to fei lol.
The ex charge is a move I overlooked for a long time cause I wasn’t sure if it could catch them after the charge so thats good to know. Another tool I think is important is to rely on his ex qcf+b rather then his flip kick. When I play it online next time I’m gonna try rightly some guys who use Rufus and see how effective that reversal is over his flip kick.
Jumping mp will give you the juggle no matter what.
It also has fast start up and priority.
It is my finest tool I have against Rufus.
What is a “ex qcf+b”?
I always loved T5DR, to this day it’s my absolutely favorite tekken game of all time.
We had a really great ttt player in sask who used to rape me for free at it so I always had a bias against it lol. Have you played ttt2?
Oops I mean qcf+p lol, I heard the ex version is safe on block and invincible so it might be worth it over the flip kick.
Have not touched it yet.
But man am I excited for that game.
Everything about it looks really nice.
I have never played a Tekken game seriously before. I look forward to seeing if I can get a group of challengers to help me improve at Tekken.
Rufus is the worst designed character in sf history…far worse then 3s yun IMO.
Ex FFR loses to Neutral jumps
But that never stopped me from using it
Against a neutral jump any flip kick will work all right.
It’s patchy but I can get the job done
Dude when if you get into it let me know, I’ve been absent From tekken since DR but I wouldn’t mind trying it out. It’s times like this I wish I was in BC again, I miss having a community of gamers lol.
Oh neutral jumps beat him…hmmm not bad I guess I can bait which shouldn’t be to hard to anticipate. I also heard standing jab might possibly beat dive kicks or jumping attacks but it seems wonky.
At least SF4 is a complete game. SFxT is haphazard trash that desperately tried to cater to casuals AKA scrubs.
But it took 4 years for sf4 to get complete and in doing so the game arguably diluted the aspects that made it fun initially with vanilla.
Sfxt is not as bar as you think, can you honestly hate on something you haven’t tried for at least month?
Sf4 seemed complete with super. Even vanilla was pretty great.
SF4 was fine at Super. That only took a year.
Sorry that I noticed how shit the game is before everybody else, but I was right.
I gave the game a shot, really, I did. I played casually here and there. It made me a bit disappointed that this is that quality of garbage we’re getting for these “new” games that are coming out. I honestly thought that SFIV gave me a lot of rage moments. I hated fighting Shane/Graeme cuz I’d get decimated, but I’d rather play them endlessly in AE2012 than this pile of crap known as SFxTK.
