we need some sfv newz
maybe some more bikinis
Lol, damn. Donât think Iâve seen Makoto Vs Dee-Jay too often.
I mained Rose, so I spent most of my time reflecting/absorbing his projectiles until theyâd decide to try and get in. That match-up really sucks for Dee-Jay. Rose can just neutralize his gameplan entirely. Sakura is another who prevents him from doing anything. Sometimes Iâd have an issue with his knee shot, but thatâs about it. Once you get the timing down, he canât even use that.

Doesnât matter how bad he was, he was always happy. A true champ.

I unironically love Sciâs SF4 Deejay.
Bloothy had a great Makoto and had some informative guides, but he plays Hearthstone now so fuck him.

With Makoto was just a matter of time to get in and punish Deejay for his sins. Just absorb his fireballs until he get relaxed,then push him into the corner. His horizontal kicks special was super slow even EX and the EX upkicks were very easy to make it whiff with Axe Kick setups or EX Oroshi iirc. Jumping wasnât an option, Fukiage means 300+ damage with meter stocked. They all know the pain Makoto was able to inflict,so Deejay players goal was running away and hope for the best. The character was pure shit and Capcom kept nerfing him for no reason. Whatever.

that might have been the case in your region but when game sales are the same or even better then now its hard to say that this genre was dead when countless of games existed during that time and apparently people around the world bought em and for sure played em. i mean just look at the tekken 7 section here on the board. barely anyone there, does that mean the game is dead or that not many people are playing it? noâŚ
I remember when I first saw the Ultra changes for Dee-Jay and was wondering if they were fake.
Back then, Capcom was taking feedback from the community on Capcom-Unity. The dudes in the Dee-Jay thread were writing well-detailed posts on what he needed and why. It almost seems like Capcom just ignored the feedback for him. The buffs he got were useless and the nerfs were really pointless.

You and Dime are talking about two different things. NRS games sell a shit ton of copies but community is nonexistent after a year. There games that sold well in between SF3 and SFIV. The community wasnât there. Now even ArcSys is rolling out a tournament series.

Guys I can tell you what happened to Dee Jay. He asked âCapcom yâd ya do my mon Sean dirty en thurd strike?â Suffice it to say, they gave him first hand knowledge of the Sean treatment.

My USFIV DeeJay was fucking sick
It is weird eh. Back in the arcade days youâd always pick the best characters.
I think though in 2018 I really hate the line âit was always like thatâ. They have the power to not just make the top 8 full of Cammy, Guile and Akuma. They just wonât.
Sometimes though I wonder if thatâs what defines FGs or even gaming in general. The imbalance is deliberately part of the experience.
Another game I can think of like that is Mario Kart, although I think Mario Kart now has enough variables to make multiple characters competitive.

The most immediate evidence of forced strength tiers is specific archetypes. Like big hard grapplers and zoners traditionally either have very polarizing matchups or are just generally lower tier. Your only exceptions are characters like ST Sim, Zato or SFV Guile that have offense to back up their hard archetype or characters like S1 Mika or KOF grapplers that mix archetypes to get over traditional grappler issues.
Cooky/gimmicky characters like Fuerte and Fang are also purposely balanced to never be too good.
Am I crazy (yes) butâŚwhen I look back and remember ElfâŚi can honestly say he wasnât that bad ONLINEâŚI never got triggered to the point of pure hate when fighting himâŚbut when I play SFV now I could name at least 3 characters that I would set fire to in a heart beatâŚand theyâre all grapplers
I donât even know WTF Elf was

He was feeling himself too much in Alpha 3. It came back to bite him in the ass.

I never could beat any DeeJay at any level. Slide AA, Slow Boom and his Sobat Kick ALWAYS troubled me. And the hop divekick made him a real nuisance to AA.

Hi fight put a twitter up of Xian âreactingâ to a bison cr.mp ( before itâs even active) but it looks to me like heâs trying to buffer the st.lk into super and it comes out anyway.
Anyone seen it? Thereâs no way it can be a reaction. Thats like reacting sub 5 frame. Unless thatâs the joke. Sometimes I find it hard to seperate jokes from real information on twitter lol
Yeah, admittedly, some of Dee Jayâs stuff can be annoying if you donât find a way around it. The good thing about fighting Dee Jay with Sakura is that she can punish his Light Sobat pretty consistently. Cammy can nullify his slide with EX divekick. You played Evil Ryu in SF4, right?
