It probably will be, except no one’s gonna flock over to it when it comes out. Why play better games when you can whine about bad ones until they get patched?
Not my words; just describing the way things are.
Why do they need to be so fucking vague? Sheesh.
Thank God i didn’t preorder this game.
SF x Tekken was a great idea. But it was slowly turning into something i did not expect. It seems like it plays like neither Street Fighter OR Tekken at this point, and not really taking the best out of either title.
I wish Capcom would just focus on the fighting. Pandora & Gems seem like afterthought mechanics that would not be needed if the 2-on-2 fighting w/ this diverse cast was solid.
Once more questions answered about Gems (their mechanics & if ppl can buy better Gems), I’ll decide if I’ll purchase this game or not.
It’s quite possible that they aren’t 100% solid on how this will play out. It’s frustrating but on the other hand this is the first time they are doing something like this. I’d like to believe they are getting their feelers out to see how the community will react to this. So far we don’t really like the idea of having them as DLC so they might consider making a lot of them unlockable in the game. There’s also the question of what will happen during offline play and tournies.
What worried me the most was what Seth said about not having us jump through hoops to acquire them. If that means that they will be unlocked by just doing stuff in the game, that’s fine. But it could also mean we will have to pay for them. Now I don’t mind paying for the ones I want but what if I don’t have the Gems my friends need for their individual strats? Will tournie organizers need to buy all of them for all their consoles?
They can take the nicer situation out, too, they did it in 3rd Strike online.
They’re all unlockable by playing the game in various ways. Lots of time waster in there. Want them faster? Pay a fee and get them now.
I don’t like that much personally, I’m a PC gamer, I believe in downloading saves to get around unlocking everything if you don’t want to, not just paying for it, but I’d rather have that and have them be free, than not at all.
personally im already locked into buying the collectors edition~ i always do for games if i can~ so i see it as a bonus~ same with the Fightstick Pro…
Im going to see how they handle it, the whole Gem system that is. Im not judging it just yet as its something i have to play to believe sort of thing~ so who knows maybe they havent decided on how we acquire them yet~ but if it involves playing through Mini games…Im down as long as its fun…Like Tekken Ball or maybe a 2D version of Tekken Force…bring it back yo~
Auto Teching and Auto Blockinig? Fire Ono, he is clearly out of his mind.
Costs meter. There ya go.
And personally, I rather not leave blocking to the comp - even if it’s perfect or whatever. I wouldn’t spend meter on something I should sharpen up myself, so I wouldn’t use those Gems.
And just like that, we have an interesting metagame. Much like CoD (and other game’s) perk systems. A slight metagame to add individuality to your avatar. I like it.
Oh Aight.
didnt know about this… so it cost a meter to use some of them? or you can make them use a meter? how does it work?
They’re auto. And cost meter.
someone fucking change the thread title to include that auto block and tech cost meter, its probably the one thing that gets screamed about the most.
Street Blocker x Techin: War of the Gems.
I’ll just wait till the next version where they balance the current gems and add new characters (and new gems). I mean that’s basically the trend capcom has taken nowadays, also to whoever said this game is Alpha 4 if they add Karin then yes it is.
Why is it so hard nowadays to just produce a game with what the older SFs did so well.
I hate all this crap they put into the SFs these days. Who wants to keep up with all this stuff happening during a round?
It’s getting more and more “who does the lucky shot” and not “who is the more skilled player/has better timing/execution”.
Paying for getting better stuff at a fighting game is ridiculous.
Before Pandora mode this game looked awesome, now it’s a joke…
Sorry for ranting, I am just so disappointed at the moment.
I would prefer not having gems or pandora at all. This is slowly turning into super smash bros. I liked the game more when these features weren’t announced.
My only hope is that Gems have their own mode offline and online. I don’t mind Pandora too much. If gems don’t have a separate mode, pretty sure I’m skipping out on this game.
Capcom is turning this game into what modern RPG games have nowadays…
Mod Edit - Absurd resolution
Goodbye training mode, hello scrubby gem system…smh…
no i think a large sum of people think the same way…in the same negative, knee jerk reaction way that a lot of people have though before you posted that.
because everyone has the same idea of…you must have Gems to be good…like it says somewhere that you absolutely have to purchase these gems, or that there is no Gems on the Disk already…better yet Gems are these broken godly tools Ono put in to troll us and make us waste more money on Gems as a clever marketing scam~ Brilliant!
the same reaction to pandora…ITS A COMEBACK MECHANIC! OH GOD THIS GAME IS CRAP! yup they said that before…oh if it dont do 100% damage combos…its useless, yup been there…best of all lets take away the part where you lose instantly after its over…humm taking away the only part that makes it a gamble…humm sounds like people dont hate X-factor after all…
you say why is it hard to produce a game with what older SF’s did so well? Let me ask you this…Why don’t you play those SF’s that are like that because apparently you want this game to not be any different then what we have been playing for years…way to keep fighting games alive…let do the same thing every game…people will keep buying them, wait i thought people hated that…could have fooled me…
I find it funny that people think they don’t want to make this game competitive even though the game is tested at fightclubs, EVO, NCR, ect. it amazing how 1 or 2 things just blind people in thinking the game is horrible…its priceless…
now if you think I’m trolling that’s fair…but if you think I’m being honest…that’s fair as well…but I’m being real…we all have things we don’t like about this game…we can not make everyone happy…that’s literally not possible…so what can you do?..make compromise?..if your not willing to meet them half way…why even bother…I think they have been pretty nice to the community in letting us see step by step development of this game…yet people complain…
