So, does SFxT take away rank points if there is a disconnect? I had a pretty good amount of points and then like 2 seconds into a match I get a āConnection Errorā message. Soon as I get back, I notice that my score is substantially lower. Like, much lower than if I had just lost couple of fights.
Spent the entire night trying to get back to what it was before and never did. I donāt know why, but I never anti-air. Even if Iām baiting it, even if I am intentionally getting into the right range where a jump in is ideal for them, even when Iām crouching to invite it, even though my anti-air is just one button, I never freaking do it. I donāt know why. Itās like a nervous tick or something.
Iām working on the AA thing myself. I didnāt realize how bad I actually was at it until it was pointed out to me a few months ago.
I also noticed recently when looking at my replays that the matches I AA well in, I generally win. Kinduvaā Captain F. Obvious thing, but hey, I observed it. :-p
Also, on the disconnect taking points thing: yeeeeup, it does. It seems like if the game isnāt sure who disconnected (or maybe people have learned how to rage quit in such a way that the game thinks you dropped instead?), it takes a grip of points regardless. Iāve lost points due to disconnects twice during my play time: once on a random disconnect error like yours, and once when I purposely disconnected because the connection was so bad we were moving literally one frame a minute (this is literal)ā¦ One of us had to save us both, so I sacrificed myself.
Thatās right random connection from somewhere in Nowhere City, ??.. I sacrificed my points for you! T.T
After recently just trying/watching Arcana Hearts 3 todayā¦
Iām the only one that likes the Tag Two version of that song. Itās just so much more hype! >_<
On my end: Got my friends to try playing some of this game a tad bit. Not too much luck cause the skill gapās insane between us, but thereās one thatās already around my level (if not slightly better than me to begin with) and one that I think can catch onā¦eventuallyā¦hopefully. Also, is it me or is it easier to AA in SFIV than it is in SF X TKN? I find my fingers just finding the time and spacing to do successful DPs much easier than in SF X TKN. Is there something Iām missing in the memo?
Side note: New thread? Crapā¦I already peed all over the previous to claim my territory. Now itās locked away forever. q_q
That was the reason I sucked as Guile back when I first tried him @the7k, but for some reason after 2013 hit anti airing became 2nd nature with how good of an anti air sommersault became on Law - now I anti air with everyone who has at least a 7-8 frame startup AA normal with a decent enough hitbox
The thing is to be actually on the lookout for AAs. If you think you can do it from reflex without actually looking for a jump in then you are gonna be blocking them for quite some time. Most of the time I anti air I am on the lookout for said jump in, with Law its easier since you can AA as late as you want, same with shotos, but even with Nina I have trouble AAing if I am too focused on the ground game and sometimes have lk geyser stuffed by j.hks. Even if just 10% of your attention goes towards looking for jump ins, it goes a long way
I always anticipate my opponent to jump and because of that I hit my lk geysers and mp shoryukens.
Guileās flash kick is good as an anti - air, requiring downcharge means if youāre trying to pressure them with his projectiles youāre not doing it though. His anti - air normals in SFxT are not as reliable as SFIV and even in that game they get stuffed by a lot of things
4 threadsā¦nice. Eventhubs keeps saying this game is dead. Which reminds me that everytime I read some of the stupidity posted on that site (for any game) I feel like some of my brain cells die on a sudden moment.
Eventhubs is arguably a lot better than SRK for articles, I mean, they keep up to date with the news for one and their wiki is much easier to navigate and is full of useful frame data.
Holy crap their boards are where intelligent thought goes to die though.
I donāt see how a game that still has a thriving online community and is played on a regular basis at meets offline can be considered even slightly dead. In the eyes of casuals, maybe, but who gives a shit about them anyway. I just wish more people would actually give the game a chance instead of condemning it. Especially considering how good v.2013 is.
Anyway, itās great to see another discussion thread and that you guys are still 'reppin SFxT. Definitely 'gonna have to start playing again.
