You don’t actually play chess and have no clue about the game, right? :\

jaiwhite205 · February 21, 2012, 12:36am

I know how chess works. Losing a queen is bad, but I was taught to not rely on my queen so much. Besides, just because I lose my best piece doesnt mean I should give up

edit: BTW you guys probably know more about chess than me. I only played it for two years so you guys might know things I dont.

when characters in grouppics have different sizes

10% I wanted it to happen
90% fuck

when characters in an fg have different sizes

100% fuck

Genow · February 21, 2012, 12:57am

I meant it more like I draw a medium filia then suddenly GIANT CEREBELLA

Mr.X · February 21, 2012, 12:59am

Now we have someone to fight this GIANT ENEMY CRAB

Vulpes · February 21, 2012, 1:03am

I got that, just wanted to throw something else in. I absolutely hate chars that are significantly taller/smaller than others.

Genow · February 21, 2012, 1:06am

but it’d be really weird if they were all the same height…

A.K · February 21, 2012, 1:06am

;_; Sorry?

Br0kensticks · February 21, 2012, 1:10am

No offense, but do you actually play chess?

If you’re down a queen and a rook, you are not only down two major pieces as far as material (aka “score”) is concerned, but it directly hampers your ability to play the game.

Imagine a fighting game where the following happens:

Lose 10% of your health, jab is disabled.
Lose 20% of your health, cr.LK is disabled.
Lose 30% of your health, j.HK is disabled.
Lose 40% of your health, both st.HP and st.HK are disabled.
Lose 50% of your health, your fireball (or whatever QCF motion you have) is disabled.
Lose 75% of your health, all your specials are disabled.
Lose 95% of your health, you can’t block.

That’s kinda how resource-driven games like chess and Starcraft work. You fall behind, it triggers a positive feedback loop of falling ever further behind as you lose the ability to play the game. And when you fall further behind, you suffer even worse setbacks.

Is it weird that I want to see this implemented in a fighting game? I wonder how well it would sell…

Genow · February 21, 2012, 1:17am

why?

A.K · February 21, 2012, 1:28am

Random sizes of the ones I drew xD

Genow · February 21, 2012, 1:32am

but you actually wanted to do it |V

So anyone who played Fallout 3 is pretty much qualified for this job? ZING! GOOD NIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! /dropsmic
How can I make zingers when these pages move so fast D: .

Also, I saw something about LoL/Dota 2… those guys are in a league of their own on rage quitters. Like… 1/4 of the people from the Dota 2 beta were removed from it because they rage quit so much. No one can compare to those guys x.x . The topic of moba communities is something else entirely. I remember getting the Dota 2 beta, getting in my first game, and being instantly reminded of why I like this game, but hate it’s community. I JUST WANT TO PLAY A GOOD ROUND!

While I agree with the personal assessment of people should just stick it out in a fighting game (you can’t wait 30sec or so to lose?), it probably is a good idea to put measures in to forfeit or security for those with bad connections. Quitting/surrendering is different in a moba or strategy game. In those types of games there is a VERY defined point in the game where you have lost. Fighting games… well anything can happen. Especially in Skullgirls, EVERY character has the tools needed to turn the tables and finish the job.

YOU FIGHT! YOU FIGHT TO THE BITTER AND BLOODY END!

Jet_Set_Dizzy · February 21, 2012, 1:36am

Yeah, the only reason I want to leave games is because after the match starts their connection falls to like 1 bar. It’s just a waste of everyone’s time at that point.

I prefer weirdness over being forced to learn 100 setups and 150 combos because everything is char specific :wasted:

Jarekov · February 21, 2012, 1:44am

Truth. Thats why I hardly play yang anymore, so many setups are character specific since 2012 update.

Has anyone found out why the site is down yet?

Pterodactyl · February 21, 2012, 1:50am

Why change their minds? and who cares?

The hundreds of times i’ve heard people go on about Cammy’s ass and Chun’s legs.

konkrete · February 21, 2012, 1:51am

Well the way combos in these sorts of games work is that you have a basic idea of how to do certain combos, and then you interchange specific normals in order to land it. It encourages better understanding of a character’s tools. GG and AH have tons of that sort of thing. I would much rather have that sort of variety than have every combo work the exact same way across the board. Boo hoo you got to think on your feet.
