SFxT General Discussion #3 - Still Alive

SRK fucking sucks.

I get home and no one responds to me on PSN :confused:

Wait so is he just not doing the 25 tournament he qualified for? Damn man he was probably one of the very best, and the only pro player I had the honor of being bitchslapped by.

So ive been out of sfxt for months, who are the biggest names keeping it alive, and is the story with tatsu public?

He tweeted it last night. I assume he’s going to finish the tourney and be done with it but I have no idea; he’ll have to clarify that.

punishable rolls? everyone that fights me is gonna get in the corner and STAY there, FOREVER

rage ray play my nina

You know it dawned on me that they didn’t seem to touch the re-stands and/or resets. Glad they didn’t mess with those (and they easily could have), though it would have been nie to get more reset opportunities.

yeah i cant till i get my ps3 in next week

Tatsu doesn’t like 2013, it seems.

why wouldnt they do that anyway?

seriously his dash is fast enough to get my REALLY close to the corner off of any knockdown, especiallly hunting hawks groundbounce

LOL at people saying they’re kneejerk quitting the game even though they haven’t even tried it out yet. My guess is a lot of these “quitters” will come back…

Wow, I can’t believe I didn’t even think about this.

But yeah, essentially rolls being punishable will make characters with a strong corner game that much scarier and effective.

Also, the nerf to rolls will indirectly buff zoning characters. If you tried zoning someone like Gief before, he could just roll forward on wake up into SPD/Lariat/EX Green Hand or just roll into block lol. Basically, it was hard to really keep people out for a long time with just projectiles since they could always safely tech roll. But with rolls being punishable, I bet people will be very hesitant to roll forward when they are at the other end of the screen. Obviously, because otherwise they have a good chance at eating a full combo.

1+2 = Juri will still be up there. :slight_smile: She has a strong corner game and she’ll be able to lock you down with her zoning again. Poison also shares similar strengths (strong corner pressure+good zoning) so she moves up some tiers because of a simple system change.

Yeah I was thinking about Poison in 2013, rolls will certainly help her, her corner game is pretty terrifying with hp fireball and throws.

People saying they’re dropping the game over changes they didn’t like…this disappoints me. I’m sure that this game will get more support overall once the patch hits, but it’s sad to see good players like Tatsu go.

Ultimately, I’m going to keep playing this game. I like the game waaaaaay too much to let some simple changes stop me from playing. I hope that I do end up getting that Xbox so I can play some of you…I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of training opportunities. There are some good players on PC but PC is like 5 patches behind now…

If you’re not already keeping people in the corner with rolls, 2013 wont help you with that

Fraud is a term that needs to die so fucking hard.

fix’d for great justice

Ok I know sfxt has a low chance at evo2k13 but ponder has asked what do we want at evo so I say everyone who likes sfxt to vote,here is the link https://www.facebook.com/pages/Evolution-Championship-Series/156605564382

lol But keeping someone near the corner isn’t exactly the same at keeping them locked in the corner. Right now you can roll into block/cross-cancel/reversal. I can still keep you “kinda” in the corner but you still have some room to backdash or even an opportunity to reverse the pressure. It will make a big difference that you can’t roll into defensive/wake up options. You will be stuck in the real corner where you can’t backdash or jump back. And you won’t be able to cross-cancel or DP xx switch to get away as easily. You’re just gonna sit there and like it.
