I had the best dream ever y’all. Today Capcom came out with a trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom EX. It had all our beloved characters who didn’t make it in Infinite, the game was beautifully cel shaded (think pretty like XRD), and the gameplay was as frantic as MVC2. Even had a bomb “Take You for a Ride” remix at the character select screen! My dream was sullied by the idiot who let me borrow his computer, which had porn viruses on it, so every time I wanted to get an additional look at the trailer, the dumb browser went where I didn’t wanna go. I think Capcom made the virus cuz we can’t see our dream come true lol.

It’s the same reason why I love charge characters. My hands are always charging and trying to do other things all at the same time. It’s engaging and ultimately more satisfying than any other mechanical playstyle I’ve come across in any fighting game.

Honest question: what are the balancing logic behind characters with special moves that are done with only button presses? (Falke and Ed)

We know charge characters trade doing specials all the time for them to be usually better in frame data compared to motion.

Are there benefits for button press archetypes outside of them being easier to do?

Very cute. How could she be any threatening?

Oh.

I wonder if The Beast is gonna stick with The Dictator?

I low key should secondary Guile. I’ve always liked him. If I come back from hiatus I’ll start a fresh account and go at it Guile solo.

I think those specials usually get maluses due to their ease of use, they’re generally all on the slower end and very unsafe. And I can see why honestly, having DPs mapped to a single button is pretty huge.

I think he missed the train on that one. There have been many Dictators in this era, and I’ve watched them all with great glee but none come close to the consistent perfection of this:

The only real benefit i can think of is the reduction in RSI and for people with fucked up wrists. Similar to HitBoxes in that regard.

Its also a little easier to blow through frame traps on block if someone is autopiloting their strings. Nothing thats impossible with a traditional character though.

Other than that maybe going through projectiles as the lack of motion makes it much quicker to react. Thats a big plus of zonks anyway.

He’s so good. He always seems to know the optimal thing to do regardless of the situation. SF5 Bison will always be ‘his’ for sure. I think Daigo is looking for a secondary. His requirements were a) charge and b) high tier. Lord Bison fits that description pretty well.

Who are Guiles bad matchups though?

P.S. Steven Sagat is a great name
