SFxT General Discussion #4 - Witty title

I would like to point out that I said it was dead with my abysmally low skill rank. A rank that I totally didn’t let Fergus get.

And by let, I may or may not mean make.

Are you still up for some matches? I might replace Hei with another character, since he seems to be quite powerful and that might spoil me.

Great now Roknin got me back to the Rolento wagon D:

Pfft… Rolento is soooo 8/25/2013. Need to be gettin’ on this Poison bandwagon!

Lol Poison is another character I got interested in. Starting to take a liking to spacing oriented characters.

Today shall be the day I set up the preset gems for my characters!

Poison is fun, glad to see more people are picking her up now. :smiley:

Eh. A while ago it was Hugo, or Sakura, now it is Poison. She can certainly be a fun character and she’s got one hell of a nice character model, but I figure most of you will move on to the next low tier to try out. Next stop the Blanka train, you heard it here first.

Also rejoice, I am not going to be using El Fuerte, at least not yet. Rose really jumped out as a character I’ll enjoy using, to the point that if she was in sfxt maybe I’d actually have a SF cast member on my teams.

It’s always been ibuki and Asuka.

As the lowest tier characters? I was just given examples of low, not saying who got rock bottom’d. If you mean who everyone is all hyped up about Asuka sure but I do not remember any Ibuki hype happening here.

Rose reminds me a bit of Raven actually, with a strong fireball game and a kick that beats throws/lows. She has significantly less damage though, but seems to have a superior AA.
Sorry to branch this out into AE, but I was wondering which characters in that game are the most similar to Bryan and Jack-X?

It really was Asuka for a while there lol, and it might still be. Even I have a pocket Asuka. :o Not sure about Ibuki though.

I’ve been playing Poison for a good minute actually. Just wasn’t until recently that I really practiced more with her and tried her with characters not named Juri, Cammy or Law.

That said, Cammy seems to work well with her too, I think.

Rose. -sigh- I might put my self back in that self-imposed hell in AE for now, but I’m honestly thinking of picking Juri back up and just getting used to playing her in both games (which is the only reason I stopped playing her in AE… I love the j.HP ground bounce soooo much, and I want to juggle off her dive kick!). Then again, I dunno’, I guess Rose just got boring to me, at least her SF4 version.

One of my favorite characters ever, but she looks and feels… I guess the word I’m looking for is “outdated” in SF4’s engine. :frowning:

Provided they didn’t do anything super-dumb, she would be very interesting i the SFxT engine. Far fierce crumple stun? HK Reflect causing higher float? Oh the Tag combos that could ensue…

…brb twitter-bombing Combofiend/Haunts/Ono/Capcom to put Rose in SFxT v.2014 (#notreally)

Sigh, SFxT 2014. Maybe then they’d put one of the characters I actually use in Tekken in the gam. I guess Leo was just too bland to bring to 2D (or not popular enough, somehow), but why on earth did they pass over Lee?

Not a huge fan of Rose’s sprite/design either, but her normals are really clicking for me and I think I can learn a lot of fundamentals with her. Speaking of fundamentals, is it possible to incorporate things from the sonic hurricane footsies handbook vs. A.I? Wondering how to improve footsies without a human opponent.

Blazing Kick is one of Lee’s signature moves and they gave that to Ogre. His other moves though? Aren’t that insanely recognizable unless they gave him his Hitman Stance attacks, which would kinda make him like another Law in a way only he could move around with it…slowly at least in my opinion.

Other notable specials, I could see would be his pulse blast (f,f+3), give it some projectile invulnerability and it’s good to go. Or even his new running move! Too bad TTT2 came out after SFxT

That and also finding a partner for him would’ve been difficult. The most likely choice of partner for him in my opinion would be Anna since they worked together back in Tekken 2 but I believe that she was de-confirmed by one of the directors.

That said, looking at some of the official pair-ups in the game and the stories behind them, some decent writing could give them a reason to put them together.

Rose would be pretty solid in this game provided they work around some of her stuff to make it viable in the game. I can imagine :f:+:hk: causing a ground-bounce on counter hit or EX Soul Spiral causing a Wall-bounce on hit. Her reflector could work well and her wake-up wouldn’t be as much of an issue due to rolls. But that’s just me.

EX Soul Spiral (wall bounce) xx J.HP, Cr.HP xx HP Soul Reflect xx Soul Throw…had this combo idea for a while lool

Or if you can link into her Cr.HP then maybe St.MP, Cr.HP xx HP Soul Reflect xx EX Soul Throw (ground bounce) Cr.HP xx HK Soul Spiral

I felt it would make sense for Leo/Lee to be a pairing, since they both have major beef with Kazuya. Of course I am biased because that is the only team I’ve ever played in TTT2.

Sure Ogre has Blazing and Infinite Kicks, but a lot of his moves were taken from characters still in this game: his punch strings are Kazuya’s for instance, right?
I think if Lee was incorporated it would give Ogre more of a Boss feel that people not familiar with Tekken might not know.

Or even better than Lee/Leo, what about Lee/Combot?

So it has went from the asuka army to the lili army,the cody frauds, the nina uprising (yes there was a point when ninas started to increase), juri army, the bob phase, back to the asuka army, then balrog phase, now we are on poison…what’s next the christie army? Oh yea the kuma phase also, totally forgot about the bear lol. These flavor of the month armies…

Don’t forget when the entire FGC was on Paul’s nutsack for a week or so.

Nuckledu got an invite to play SFxT @ Capcom Cup. That’s nice!

What?! Balrog squad ain’t even here yet, that phase is far from over!

Finally, Bryan X Steve Tech vid is up:

All of my matches have been recorded, I just need to upload them now. After that, Elena/Asuka combo vid and tech.

Always and forever. <3

Ibuki? Maybe.

Asuka? Fk no. :coffee:

KUMA KILLAZ!!!

PAUL D-RIDAZ!!!

BALROG SQUAD/ M.BISON BISONS!
