The Gem System Thread

You’re 6 shades of stupid so let me put this as clear as possible. None, I mean NONE OF THE FUCKING PROBLEMS IN FIGHTING GAMES CURRENTLY ARE GOING TO BE FIXED BY ADDING SOME SORT OF CUSTOMIZATION TO THE GAME. WHEN WE HAVE FUCKING PEOPLE NOT WANTING TO LEARN TO ANTI-AIR, BLOCK OR BOTHER WITH MATCH-UPS, GEMS ARE JUST THERE TO DISTRACT PEOPLE FROM BOTHERING TO LEARN ANYTHING.

FUCKING STOP POSTING.

I can only see them being used as in consumed for the duration of battle. I think that dude is just trying to toss gas on the flames since more and more people seem to be slowly accepting the gem system concept.

If they are one time uses I don’t think anyone would have incentives to purchase the pre-orders. Especially not the SE.

newer is always better?
you must be the target demographic

:rofl: Bro ur 6 shades of stupid, the way ur describing how the gems work is wrong. Bother with Mup’s wtf r talking about??

Gems r distracting now damn ur pretty salty

Edit—not trying to be a smart ass but ignorant ppl always say things before they investigate the facts or bother too— this may help resolve ur sodium lvls to decrease or may not

Edit—Ayano-san went on Capcom-Unity and posted a blog about everything from New York Comic-Con. He recaps the gem system in Street Fighter X Tekken which is currently getting a lot of attention from the online community.

it’d be funny if someone tied this in to the “How do I shot web?” meme and just have Spiderman and a red gem or something.

Seriously though, I think in the long run The gem system will also cater to advanced players. People who have strong fundamentals can skip support gems and max out on damage or speed. Besides, gems or no gems strong fundamentals will probably take you farther than an artificial situational boost in skill.

no bro Im just from the 21st century, I am not going to choose a SNES game over a game or era that is far superior in its tech. & graphics etc. etc. etc.

Edit—oh and SF4 doesn’t have any fundamentals but just mindless gimmicks…really guy it may have 50/50’s or OS which is a good thing but at least it is not R,P,S all the way

you are still saying; 'newer = better’
hahaa
no wonder you dont see the progression of distracting gmmicks replacing solid fundamentals in gamep[lay, you enjoy cosmetic treatments over gameplay apparently

Must… resist… urge… to… troll… this… thread…!

All in favor of abbreviating assist to ass?

But a game like ST is superior in about every other way. You can’t random out somebody in that game, unlike SF4.

no way im i going to agree with that, Im sorry ur stuck in that mind set…So a game like Battle field 3, with ur mind set then u would say that a doom 1 is far superior in about every other way?..I know that is FPS but u get the idea why Im saying something like this

I feel sorry for u that u favor a 16 bit game made in 1992, 94 over SF4 or any fighting game of today

i really want to avoid discussing whether or not older fightings are or are not better then ones in the current generation…it will literally go no where and it will just piss people off, so to avoid that, lets stay on topic~ i just replied to that post as it sounded more of a opinion then a fact…that is all.

im just trying to figure out if Gem disappear after being used…because that would be a waste and create a paradox…if they disapear…what happens if they are none to select…you go to PSN or XBL to buy more or you cant play? well thats a extreme exaggeration of the situation…so im guessing they don’t go away…

hahaa
i never realized that anyone could get played by a fighting game

For the love of all that is holy man. I assume that people will NOT block everything naturally. I assume that people WILL mess up during mixups. Mixups lead to chains/cancels/combos w/e. They lead to DAMAGE. This is basic fighting games. That 1 bar of METER spent will prevent you from losing a lot of HEALTH. If you don’t see it being worthwhile working this way, I am speechless and out of arguments.

What the hell do you mean what will they do under continued pressure? Once again, you’re saying there’s nothing wrong with this because if the attacker’s mixup FAILS because of the gem, he can always try it again? Seriously?

Now we have more details about this gem and a video of it in action. Jamp what you said is still a possibility considering they have the dummy or w/e set to crouching and don’t try overheads.

There’s always the chance the gem doesn’t end up working the way one would assume it does right now, but to not think this is a super powerful gem that will define the game if it does work this way isn’t smart.

so…from what i can grasp~ the Gem keeps blocking for you if its a legitimate block string or link~ but it wont if the attacks are not. so the example of tic throws were valid to a extent.
this helps out some but also makes me wonder it wont cost meter if the mix-up is legitimate either…so it’s starting to look pretty good in my opinion for those who wanted to use such a Gem~

Yes being pressured and not having any meter is fine. When it is the meter itself that is going to land you big damage.

You’ve just got a defensive mind set and this game isn’t looking defensive.

well remember there are Defensive kinds of Gems so in a game like this that rewards offense with more offense, turtles mite get rewarded as well with the right Gem set~ so i guess with that thought guile mirrors will be very lame…

omg ppl again…

Auto block gem in action and how it works
pros of it
[media=youtube]A9N5JJdFgHg[/media]

**not an out of control mechanic like this thread, u still need to block if u do not want all ur meter gone, and for crying out loud did everyone forget about scramble mode 2vs 1 this auto block mayb useful to live during this situation if u cant block everything coming at u…im just throwing that out there… **

defiant cons of it
[media=youtube]8ZFvbUNFyH4[/media]

this gem obviously does NOT give license to not block at all, u lose all ur meter noobs if u do that

mindless speculation b4 knowing the facts

Who the hell said it does? Listen I don’t know if you have some difficulties with english (second language?) or something but you’re just ranting sideways to the conversation.

So for a meter I get to free myself out of a potentially lethal mixup? That gem is beyond godlike. Do I want to spend 2 bars in SF4 to deal with dudley’s, ibuki’s, Akuma’s, Viper’s mixups? Why yes, yes I would.

Takes the mixup hit and then I can continue blocking from there as well as late tech throw. No wonder Viper isn’t in this game, they were just going to randomly bone her game. Gem sucks in footsies situations but it is a hilarious counterpick.
