Thanks Jin. I have no idea who I’m going to play as, probably Cammy because she’s pretty straight forward and I need to get a good grasp of this game again.
I haven’t played since before the 3.5 patch though, so I need to look at the patch notes.
I’m also looking forward to giving some of the s3 characters a shot. How’s Falke, Cody, G, and Sagat. Are any of them real strong?
Basically all the fundamental things will get stronger and characters that relied more on fundamentals will get stronger.
So Cammy menat and guile will likely get better or stay the same. Ed might get slightly stronger for neutral, but his random vt2 might get worse… so a fundamental ed will get stronger and an ed that was based around trigger might get worse.
Only time will tell how much better or worse anyone is, but snappier play ALWAYS means more fundamental and defensive play, the same way that speeding up a game will always result in a game that is more offensive than the previous slower version.
Last night I was watching Bonchans stream, was getting beat by a master Sim player so I typed in the comments ( which was 100% Japanese) HK TK very good. Then he reads it out loud in English on his stream and does 5 HK TK in a row that all get blown up.
I’m like, yeah I kinda didn’t mean like that lol. Didn’t type anymore though lol. It was pretty cool though. Maybe I got some Tiger Power off the king.
Consensus is game feels snappier and we’ll see how it goes at the Log Cabin this weekend.
Cody and G have the best offense of the four, so in this game that means they’re objectively better than Falke and Sagat (minus certain matchups). Falke and Sagat are characters that do particularly well in certain matchups (Falke is pretty anti Cammy and does well vs Akuma), but gets blown up by characters that are walking fireballs like Rog and Bipson.
For sure! Though it will take me some time to get back into the swing of things. I just played a best of 3 Casual Set (thanks again @darc_requiem) and I’ve gotten some real bad habits from playing single player MKX over the last few weeks like thinking I can sweep (back and circle) under a projectile, and doing down and triangle to AA. I also keep expecting neutral jump punches to launch the opponent, lol. I am probably going to do some tutorials as well, as I’ve forgotten some very basic mechanics.
If I don’t have a busy day at work tomorrow, I’m hoping to do training for a few hours and then may be okay for games after if you, or anyone else is interested.
Regarding the update, my FT3 set seemed to be a little easier for me to AA. I landed one or two AA’s that I was expecting to be a little late on and was surprised that they landed.
I also didn’t have any hiccups in lag so I’m happy.
