SFxT General Discussion #3 - Still Alive

Cool story bro.

Now stop hating on the SF cast, I bet you want Capcom to nerf them more to cater to you haters.

Lei is a beast. He is just not utilized enough smh. But he got some great buffs and also some harsh nerfs in my opinion…but they didn’t even touch the secret weapon stance insert evil smile . Jack-X and Zangief users are in for a big surprise (along with the rest of the cast because the stance is that dang good).

Lol a good thing bro. I’m a laid back person anyway so I mean if something happened on here its not like I’m going to hold a grudge. lol

Oh, not that.

I think alot of people think I’m crazy saying the SF characters seem fine.

that why i said some . rolento i think will be okay since he still has good normals and can play a good hit and run game when he has a life lead. Hugo tho yea the only thing i think they could do is increase the grab range so the person just don’t down back. that why i like the idea of rolento/hugo team since rolento could help hugo get near his opponent.

I don’t even think I have seen anyone come at you THAT hard lol. Maybe “hey you are overreacting a bit” unless im missing something.

well, not every character came out clean.

See Bryan on the TK side…

But such is the nature of things. As much as I like to mae fun of Capcom’s sometimes thoughtless balancing. Everytime there’s a rebalanced of any game ever… some characters win, and some lose.

Its the alpha counters. SMH. I really dislike this. Hurts characters like Ibuki really bad.

Since the Vita version came out I thought I should hit it up; I absolutely love this game! In the first 2 hours I have been playing online, I have found a very good team that has worked for me (Took out a A+ guy); I am starting with Ryu and my anchor is Blanka. I love throwing in a LP+MP+HP and a cross combo in there and blanka comes in and cleans it up with electricty body to clean it up. That seems like a decent chain; but I am new to this game and I was curious; what are some good tactics and combos to a Ryu/Blanka team? note: I am a very agressive pushing player. My tactics are to rush the opponent to make them feel rushed and then make them vulnerable. Any help folks?

No I don’t think you are. I have been trying to tell people that the SF cast will be ok. I don’t think Capcom will let them be bad and Ryu and Guile will never be TRULY bad is a SF game. People are saying zoning will be gone but I don’t think it will. Tekken Characters needed to be buffed (majority of them anyway). If I pick Guile then, I could kill half of the cast and If you do max range cr.mk into st.HK then you can use that as a safe hit confirm. TBH Guile destroys 90% of the characters in the game in this current state. That is not good lol. That is true unbalance.

Lol. This was too funny to me. In a good way. Your loyalty has been rewarded now though!

lol Not really, but some might say that on their heads. I know nobody gives a shit what a Ryu mainer has to say about these changes. Every one is too busy gloating at us and rejoicing for the changes.

I really really hope this game doesn’t become Tekken Tag Tournament 2-D I really don’t.

You play on Xbox right? Because PSN has a couple of really good Balrog’s. But he did get better with the patch from what I’ve heard.

I’ll stick with Ryu, no doubt about it. I will just have to adjust accordingly. My only concern in this patch is his would-be partner. Either I stick with Juri or switch to someone else.

I play on Xbox, but not Balrog. Just wanted to know if we will be seeing more of him around these parts. It will be interesting to see how alot of these characters will be played now when 2013 drops.

yea that sadly true. how do you guys think Dudley will fare in 2013. I was thinking of making him my 2nd partner to rolento with the same idea i have with hugo. Although i saw that they made his overhead unsafe which is a big nerf to him.

also sticking with ryu and gief as a alt because i think they will still be okay. also had some good games in rank tonight but my damn rolento was doing all the work and when i had hugo in he just died :(.

Man I don’t think it will. You are pretty good in AE (although you main Rose) so you will still be ok. TK cast still has weaknesses. We just have to play smarter. Ryu will still be a beast. No matter what SF game it is, people will always complain about the favorite son. When we are old and grey, and a new generation comes along, they will still complain. Its all in the cycle of gaming life young grasshopper.

Yeah me too. There are some good Rogs out right now so I’m kind of scared for the 2013. As a matter of fact I’m scared of Bob, Paul, Lars, Akuma, Lili, Hworang, Jack-X, and Asuka is looking nice too. I feel with the boost chain spam gone its about to get real. I’m just glad that there will be more variety though. It kind of got boring fighting the same characters and the ones that were bad are so bad that the match up is easy to learn.

http://www.twitch.tv/karastorm got some SFxT going on if you are interested. Since our fearless leader doesn’t love us anymore :frowning: .

I think Dudley will be ok. Yeah I was learning him too and I didn’t like that they made the overhead unsafe but with the changes to the roll it kind of makes sense. But he has a 50/50 on wake-up that can lead to good damage so that is always good. Plus you don’t have to worry about high level players risking the mashout and dropping the ABC chain so you may or may not take alot of damage if it is blocked.
