Dayum 888 replies to the akuma thread? getting close to double the evil ryu thread. 90 fucking pages. There arn’t enough fries on the planet for all that salt.
For every 1 sentence he says that I agree with or disagree with but has a valid point he posts 4 that are garbage. I called him out on just starting pointless flame wars last night. I started to have a somewhat civil discussion with some of the strict nerf naysayers about the idea of “compromise” and how not compromising could lead to some REALLY dumb changes (See: SFxT Cody, 3S Sean, Ect where Capcom didn’t work find a mid ground or buff in other ways to offset harsh nerfs) and Nick comes in right after peoples tempers start calming down and talks about “Akuma Rhetoric blah blah blah”
The only thing I was every annoyed about with Akuma was the frame advantage he had versus Fuerte with Far RH, but even that could be dealt with if your were patient. People just don’t want to adapt.
Its annoying seeing people not take the time to think these through (even if it’s likely Capcom is just gonna ignore and do their own thing anyway)
“Argument 1: Justifying something beeing overlypowered by that it takes X-Amount of time to get the Mechanics down is clearly not legit. So long as the mechanics you learn are overpowered, and allow you to lack in important aspects of the game, and let you “random” out your oponents. It is not legit that it takes “a lot of time to learn.” Which is also clearly untrue.”
This of the character who can do everything but is frail and the tools/gameplans themselves are good, not wtfbbq.
:'D
The earlier stand fierce complaint was also hilarious.
been watching the akuma thread the funniest thing by far is the akuma players complaining about how a few nerfs will break the character
7 frame sweep would make him ass they say lol nigga please pick ken
this whole experience has been very… enlightening to say the least we all got a good look into these people’s minds its like one big failed social experiment
I did some kind of a test in the SF Character Balance Suggestions forum, by using the search bar to find out, how many times a certain term appears in the posts.

Or some other way people are trying to overly verify themselves to make their claims seem more credible. Most people seems to say “I’ve been playing so and so since Vanilla”
