SFxT General Discussion #4 - Witty title

[Swedish_Chef]

and nice legs, especially on her alternate! omg thoooooose thiiighhsss…

…am I the only one who likes Sakura just for her personality?

I’d like her more if they continued with her character development. I mean, c’mon, she beat Ryu at the end of SFA3 - and more over, it was a brainwashed Ryu who wasn’t holding back against her. She should be over this schoolgirl crush and just respect Ryu as a peer instead of fangirling over him and giggling when he’s around. Now she’s more or less exactly how she was when she was first introduced.

I still enjoy playing as her, and hey, I still think she’s cute, but it’d be nice if she had a bit more badass in her like she should have at this point.

Here is how the process of character development works in the Street Fighter universe in a nutshell.

Are you Sagat?

If Yes:

Capcom said they’d like to focus more on story and development soon, actually.

But, who cares about Sakura when Makoto is so much cooler as far as SF goes.

Is your Xbox OK?

My internet connection is stupid. I dc everytime someone calls. Got to bitch at my ISP for that. Sorry about that Intuitive.

I just play characters that are fun. Screw tiers and all that mess. I played Wolverine back in Vanilla MVC3 and play Firebrand now, but I played those guys from like week 1 of the games and didn’t expect them to be top tier or anything. As for tier whores, I wish there was really no such thing, but some people do play to win. And it’s always important to know that picking an S-tier character is not a free win.

So yeah. Got some more matches. I feel like I’m learning something. However, I’m aware my execution is a bit inconsistent and need to work on that. Ah well, these matches were pretty exciting, so here ya go.

Links are you on XBL? Face is from my hometown and he’s normally on XBL. Did he get the game on PC or something?

I’m not friends with him, but he seems to be on PC pretty regularly. I need to get a new XBox sometime, but until then I’m on PC.

I’ve said my stuff about tier lists before, but basically it’s:
Do I pick based on tier? No, I pick who I find most fun. Do I prioritize study of matchups based on tier? Absolutely.

No worries man, just before I jumped on my dad cut our internet cable in half, lol. You should complain, mind. It is a service you’re paying for.

And this is why no one knows the Hugo matchup.

I guess people misinterpreted the purpose of my quote. I am not criticizing a person for being a low tier hero or being a top tier player ( apparently, tier whoring is a FGC slur. People get sensitive like if I was using the F word or the N word).* I am just stating that players on the mid tier are not using shitty characters for them to complain about the game that much and are not using the strongest characters so they won’t say: “yeah, this game has no problems. Scrubs just need to learn to not get knocked down. St3p y0ur G4m3 up”*. Usually you will get the most mixed opinions out of the guys in the middle if asked…“So is this game good or what?”.

In regards to the top tiers in SFxT. Yes, they are already established and I don’t feel they won’t change much. However, there’s some variety in playstyles within them. So you won’t see one type of playstyle dominating the game like SF4 which is a very good thing about the game. I wish the haters would see that. Also, this is a team game you can construct teams with A or B (even C tier) characters paired up with an S tier and do well. It’s not like a team of two S tier works (actually only a few pure S teams do work). You can also create “counterpick” teams of A and B tiers that actually counterpick an S tier character or an S tier team. So they control the current meta even if you beat them since THEY ARE ALWAYS A THREAT. I wish it were different characters, though. But it is not the end of the world.

So lesson of the story: Ask any Alisa, Ryu, Dhalsim, Julia, etc. about how they feel of SFxT’s meta. You are bound to get honest answers. And don’t get mad at people for having a different perspective. smh. Also, Sakura is not a brainless character in this game, which a good thing but she is far from bad. Don’t complain about her. She is not as low tier as people may think. SF4 Sakura should be nerfed to be around SFxT Sakura’s level for USF4 IMO.

I actually tend to agree with this, and what you talk about as far as team comp is exactly why I think there’s very few tweaks that need to be made to balance things out, as it were.

So after playing a long ass set of online Smash Bros. Brawl with friends, due to another Smash Tournament I have tomorrow, I have run into a dilemma regarding tournaments more specifically casual matches.

My problem being using your ‘main’ character in casuals and I just wanted to know, say those who have been to or intend to go to a tournament, would you people use your main character(s) in casual matches before a tournament in any fighting game?

There’s that fear I have that pretty much using my ‘main’ character or team in casuals could lead to my opponent figuring me out by the time the tournament starts. It’s a question of playing at your best vs playing tactically to win and I just wanted to know what you guys thought about it.

Also I know this may sound like too many questions in one but I was contacted the other day by some group called AdRev Talent Network via a PM on my Youtube Inbox which could affect all kinds of videos, I put out on my channel. So that considered what do you guys think about or know about the AdRev Talent Network?

[creativecell]

Afraid of getting downloaded in casuals with your main? Sandbag, dont play to win, or politely decline to play. However, in the age of online and replays thats difficult.

[Rc_ON]

Dunno whether you guys know, but Yung Ice is showing us how to punish Law and stuff.

Know nothing about them unfortunately. I will just say make sure you do your homework on them first and foremost.

As far as mains before tourney? I generally don’t care, I’ll use my mains but I’ll generally try not to do anything tricky before the tourney starts. The way I see it is if it gets blown up in casuals, then I need to re=approach what I’m going to do in tourney at least slightly. I honestly like to get in as many casuals as possible nowadays before tourney (I used to go to tourneys “cold” and that RARELY EVER worked in my favor), warm up a bit, and usually that means playing my main team first.

That’s not to say that works for everyone; we all have our different traditions and ways. For me it helps me to narrow my scope and practice my timing pre-tourney, since I play so man characters on the side anyways.

On the other hand, because of this I also try to use casuals to “gauge” what I should play that day. If my Cammy x Nina team is doing fantastic in casuals and my Jur x Julia team is getting their collective asses smacked, maaaaaaaaybe I should roll with Cammy x Nina because clearly something is wrong with my train of thought with Juri Julia at that moment. If I play Marduk for awhile in casuals and he is going hamhocks and turkey legs all over people… I should probably at least start the tourney with him.

…I guess I said all that to say I generally use casuals to gauge what I should work with that day. XD

okay i got the link to work.

ENJOY THE SICKEST/LUCKIEST… COMEBACK… OF THE WEEK. WATCH SAKURA GO TO WORK LOL.

I will admit, I have gotten blown up at tournaments more by off beat characters than top tier. Like, last time it was Lili who beat me, even though Hwo was also on the team.

Still, most people just pick two well-known overused top tiers, which is no problem.
