I’d wager you also missed the even more incredible retort:
-HK Hornet Bomber no longer has invincibility and has techable knockdown
-Double’s lvl 3 does less damage and has been sped up
-Last hit of Double’s level 3 now knocks the opponent the opposite way and is techable
-Hitstun on Double’s j. HP reduced from 37 frames to 27. Mike said this was a typo in the game’s code.
-Double builds no meter while Catelites are out
I’m confused by how you can not see this… regardless of weather or not Mike “planned” to have this originally… they are currently in the game. Double is clearly getting hit with the Nerf Bat… but that’s almost not even the point. I don’t believe Double should get nerfed… I also don’t believe the IPS system should be changed, or the damage on assists, or anything. Why? Because it’s too early! Wait 6 months so you know what you’re doing and release the changes along with new DLC characters. Wait another 6 months and release some more DLC characters along with some more balance changes. This to me is the logical plan.
Just because it bugs me to see people keep saying it, the Sentinel nerf was planned before the game was released. Even the people who wrote the guide say they knew about the nerf before they finished writing it.
Anyway, back on topic, honestly I’d bet on the option-select being removed before the patch comes out, so I really don’t see a reason to be worried about Cerebella when she received one buff. Besides, she benefitted from long combos a lot too, it’s not like she’s coming out of this completely unhurt.
Skullgirls doesn’t suck balls is the difference.
Actually me and a couple of friends are dropping it after this patch if it’s not to our liking.
I’ll probably hop back on mvc3.
Is it a nerf, sure.
But it’s not like she’s gonna drop tiers because of this, it’s not like it makes her unplayable.
So, it’s not really a nerf bat.
Do you even play Double? I play Double, and the changes I see are SERIOUSLY not that big of a deal. I’ve already thought of ways to compensate for the changes. I don’t complain. I adapt.
This is correct, and I can personally confirm this. People who regard the Sentinel health change as a “knee-jerk nerf” don’t base their feelings on facts, only their own knee-jerk reactions… similar to most of the bitching going on in this thread.
See ya bye?
Because this needs reiteration
Man are these the same people that drop fighters every revision because they don’t like the changes? If this shit happened a year or a day after hotfix in we’d still get bitching. Some people just can’t stand change. Smell them later.
The only change that i think is absolutly needed is the IPS and yea the nom loops. To be honest the whole IPS revamp will be welcomed because the 30 seconds long combos that are basically take one player out of the game will just rack up frustration and the feeling of being an active participant in a fight.
It is a bit too early to patch (or maybe too late given that everyone practiced a ton), but i think they will wait till EVO for that. Also i dont get the hate for this whole process: the game that you like is being fixed and polished. You can be dissapointed in changes but to hate on something that is supposed to help you is just stupid in my opinion.
Yeah you guys wait on a complete training mode for 6 months because it’s ‘too early’. smh
enjoy “buffed wesker”, champ
i have not played much of skull girls but i did play the peacock/double team. i want know from a peacock player what their thoughts on the 3 more frames on recover for the tele? i am still gonna try to run the team but i want to hear the thoughts on people who go to tourneys and play her.
Along those lines, that’s the thing. If they wait to patch it can be game-killing, especially if the things they’re fixing are a big deal.
All it takes is a few balance problems or an engine issue that’s driving people away (ie the combo changes) and all of a sudden they’re under the critical mass of players.
The new patch looks more like bugfixes than anything.
Again, excepting the IPS change. That’s not a bug, but a definite intentional gameplay change… and a far sweeping one at that.
I posted a video of me playing Double in the opening post and am ranked ~200 or so on Xbox live? Dunno it’s been a few days since I checked the leaderboard. (ST Aabra) Don’t get me wrong though - online play means nothing at all… especially the way you win a match and move down in rank. It only serves as proof that I do in fact play her and know how to play the game. I’m not sure how much more proof you want. If you believe that everything will be perfectly fine and you have personally confirmed this with Mike Z then you’re entitled to your opinion. I believe that I’m entitled to mine as well however and if you’re friends with Mike/know him then you will have to forgive me as while I’ll listen to your thoughts, respect them, and consider them… I have to take them with a grain of salt as there is definitely a bias due to you being friends with/knowing Mike. If that’s not the case then please let me know but from your comments it definitely sounds like you’ve at least met him.
With regards to adaption… I adapt as well - just give me a chance to learn the game first before changing the whole thing on me. Is it so horrible that I believe no balance patches should be made for 6 months? From some of these comments it would seem like I’d just asked everybody to go jump off a cliff. I’ve been really calm throughout this whole thing even with all the people swearing, bashing, and insulting me but I have yet to hear a valid argument for why we have to do this right now and can’t wait 6 months and do it with the DLC characters. All I have heard is that you know nothing about game development. Great! Now we’re getting somewhere. Explain it to me. Why is this not possible?
Meh I’m bored of ‘defending’ things that were mentioned months ago when the game was in alpha. I’m also tired of the use of ‘sentinel’ as a kneejerk patch since it displays several layers of ignorant on patching and why he was patched or ‘buffed’ wesker since he wasn’t only given that from people saying his super wasn’t worth using and everything after that is a side effect of the overall game not his ‘buff’. If you wanted a good, and pretty much only, example of the nightmare scenario people talk about look at late MK9. I can’t think of a single title that suffers from ‘constant’ patching people complain about or how titles were left alone, ignoring constant major and minor arcade board revisions, when they can only cite titles that were simply abandoned like MVC2
lol my dude jugz trolling the fuck out of this sub-forum.
lol shades buff for faster and more dmg is a buff, the gun shot loops being gone oh noo like you cant kill someone with 1 combo anyway.
And the IPS is a GAMEPLAY change the game has been on for like a month and new gameplay patch? LOL thats like mvc3 coming out for 1 month and then… hey lets try out X-FACTOR although people are still learning their characters and how to play the game. Ofc die hard people who are bootycheeks will settle for anything especially if it doesn’t have to do with the character they play. It’s easy to say something is not a big deal when you don’t even play the character.
