AA quality is not really what I’m talking about. It’s about people complaining about how single-button AAs don’t suck, or that characters without a DP might not have big AA deadzones.
It’s like “why can’t I jump on this guy he just swats me out of the air by pressing a button”. WELL MAYBE DON’T JUMP AT THAT TIMING THEN, you won’t have to eat 30 damage and a mixup.
The most vocal probably aren’t but I’ve definitely heard top players complain about it. Not as much anymore, but definitely when multiple characters had 3f anti air anti cross up lights
They ain’t wrong on that, but fuck em on principle.
Game is trash and should be tied up to Blanka then dunked into a dumpster fire.
Edit: And it’s easy af to say “don’t jump” when they can just FA a fireball or catch buttons then get a crumple on CH and do jump-in levels of damage. That mechanic was worse than fucking VTs.
God, I despise IV.
We talking about people or scrubs?
Because people complain about AAs because they’re usually ass in this game.
Scrubs complain because, well, bitches bitch. They wanna hop around like frogs and complain when they get shot down. They need to get blasted with “Git Gud” memes.
Anyway SFIV player usualy never meant Scrubs with this, they meant it in general, 09ers spout a lot of shit like this, like never jump, mashing is something you should never do, no pro would ever do this, never press buttons on wakeup, every special should be safe and/or Fadc’able on block. Pressure should have no risk, defending should have even less risk, you should be able to reset to neutral out of each and every situation with no risk whatsoever.

Good thing it died for good. Watching people try revival tournaments for it and not manage to pull even Discord Fighter numbers always brings a smile to my face.
