Parrying wouldn’t have been so bad if you could only parry select attacks. I’ve felt for a while that it would be a much better game and feature if you couldn’t Parry weapons or Energy attacks (Fireballs, Flash Chops, Ken’s Fierce SRK, Many of Twelve’s basics and specials, Ibuki’s Kunai Dagger) It would return some of the lost zoning and make reading your opponents attacks more important when parrying. It would also make certain characters more playable. Alex, Twelve.
And yet the best players in the world still get hit by complex, creative offense(what is required to play 3S effectively)…guess it’s not as easy as you say.
Doesn’t matter if they can it’s fucking retarded.
Edit: Not to mention i didn’t say anything about it being easy.
man I’ve never seen emil on green
Note: Replace all mentions of “complex” in this thread with “random” and you’ll get a far more accurate portrayal of 3S.
Lock thread now please.
After a certain level nothing is random in any fighting game… besides maybe Smash Bros or if you are playing with a lucky sonofabitch that figures out how to stop your usual offensive tricks by accident.
To me parries are interesting, they could be improved but I see little fundamentally wrong with them. Although I can actually do and work with focus attacks better, the idea of a parry pretty much is just to add a different option then plain old blocking and give bolder players an edge if they time it right.
its a psychic dragon punch with less risk and more reward. wow s0 innovative + needed for the advancement of fighting games as a competitive genre
focus attacks are silly and game damaging too (the roman cancel part is cool tho) but at least theyre not as egregiously stupid as parries… not even close
fucking right nobody ever misses parries
FUUUUUCK insertgame THAT SHIT SUCKS
aka “im old and cant stand anything but sf2 WW”
people need to get over the fact 3s has the SF throne until Feb 17th.
/thread
Fair enough. 3S fans have to get over the fact that not everybody likes their game and many of them have good reasons for it.
A lot of the reasons r BS imo.
Yeah because all legit arguments are BS.
do you realize how huge the ratio of parries missed : parries punished is lol
when you consider that almost every throw and normal move done within footsie range is a missed parry its pretty high
That’s why I said “many of them have good reasons.” The unspoken implication of that statement is that there are a lot of reasons for disliking it and some of them are good ones.
I’m just posting in here so SK will see my post before he locks this thread. WASSUP SK!
yes every hit that connects is from a missed parry nobody blocks anymore
FUCK 3S BITCHES
lets not go down this road again
