Yeah I thought of that, but this thread has more activity going on, so I just thought I’d ask here. Elena wiki entry doesn’t seem to say much but I only just skimmed it.
I agree with you. I think he’s being overly concerned with it. And I played Third Strike mainly on GGPO for a while (especially when vanilla SFIV came out and the nostalgia factor wore off with the game). I loved it, but when Super released, and GGPO started to have constant down-times, trouble connecting with other players even when I port forwarded. Well, I got sort of discouraged. I still practice offline with it, but it’s not the same as going online.
I think a lot of these guys haven’t because, let’s face it, like you said, are from SFIV being their first competitive fighter.
And sorry to have jumped on your case, Tebbo. He is digging a bit too much into it. A lot of these new guys don’t have the long-term love for the game like a lot of the GGPOers do. And tiers are a MAJOR topic in SFIV, probably because it’s so new and there’s another re-balancing coming.
As Vamp Savior player too, I don’t particularly care. You just learn that it’s part of the game.
Do what you gotta do to get good man, it’s going to take a lot of practice and countless beatings. Texas has some strong players, like Fubar and Yuuki, so you have some people over there to help you out if you need tips and advice. Good luck.
Bit OT, but anyone else try to pre-order 3S with PS Plus? Supposed to be discounted 11.99 but it still shows $14.99, even though the other PLAY titles are discounted.
Also not everybody is going to be playing a ‘top tier’ chun, yun, etc. Just try to beat the player and not worry about the tiers.
to be honest, the more you understand 3rd strike, the less you enjoy fighting characters like twelve/oro/elena.
you will prefer chuns and kens. dont believe me?? hit me up in a few years if you stick with the game.
I’ve found this to be true for a long time now. Really Twelve is offensive and just annoying. Oro and Elena are ok but I think Ryu vs Ryu, Ryu vs Ken, Ken vs Ken are probably some of the most fun fights.
Twelve and Elena become less fun, but Oro is always fun to play against, especially one that likes to move around. I love the Oro vs Q matchup though. :V
P.S.- Seriously, the better you get at this game, the more you’ll come to appreciate Shotos, especially Ken. There’s a reason why so many players have him as a main or alternate.
Why are Twelve and Elena not fun to fight against? I feel turtly Remy’s can be not too exciting to fight against, or Yun, but why Twelve and Elena? (I don’t really fight these two too much).
Elena’s not fun to fight?
Then I’ll be sure to use her often.
Listen to this man.
I wonder if the development team would make some improvements to training mode later on? Really hoping for that record function.
The lack of a better training mode options is a real drag. That’s just Capcom trying to get away with shit and hoping we aren’t any wise.
Still better than nothing though.
Yeah, it’s unfortunate. All I know is that if I get one single slowdown offline doing Capture & Deadly Blow, I’m hanging it up. I’m already considering not buying anything else from Capcom after this. Please don’t let this be the nail in the coffin.
Guys I just want to play 3rd Strike.
same here
Then just play 3rd Strike? Nothings really stopping you from doing so unless your comp is completely incapable of running the game.
Honestly the ONLY thing I really wanted was an improved training mode so I’m already a little disappointed.
Yeah… Exactly.
