Wait you want frame data changes? lol that would be a complete clusterfuck.
1 frame command grabs and sweeps. I like it.
Why would you want a speed gem that doesn’t make your moves fasters? I guess its good for the people who never played Zangief when he had a proper walkspeed but pfft for the most part.
Why do you want a feature that would completely fuck things up?
Swap Ken and Akuma’s foot speeds in SFIV, same tiers as before? No.
Because the current features aren’t really adding much of anything other than turning a character into a slight Mugen version of it for a couple of seconds. but I mean, I’m a fucking idiot for wanting the speed gem to let characters do different blockstrings, frame traps and set ups because it sped up their moves too.
Golly gee I am six shades of fucking stupid.
God damn it you new fuckers.
If it isn’t helping you do a mix ups, helping your footsies or helping your zoning, it isn’t really helping you all that much in the long run. The gems aren’t really helping with any of that shit.
Better walkspeed doesn’t help your footsies? Are you fucking dumb?
He’s six shades of fucking stupid.
Speed gems give you faster jumps and dashes, which will possibly create some mixup/safejump situations that would otherwise be impossible. And who knows, faster jumps might even create instant overhead/fuzzy guard setups that would never work with the character’s normal jump speeds.
Better walkspeed and dashes not helping footsies? Seriously?
Better speed means you can position yourself better and faster and run away easily if you need to.
Its only temporary. Your character isn’t coming in with shit that helps him out immediately so honestly, you have to first get yourself the boost and then put yourself in a place that you can use it.
You can have all the walkspeed you want but if you’re shitty normals are still shitty speed, it won’t really help you all that much against people with good normals. now if your shitty ass normals became faster by a frame or two, suddenly the number of buttons that you can play footsies with increased.
This thread is just full of 
.
He’s right, it should reduce guile’s sonic boom startup and recovery. If you pair that with the unlimited projectiles gem (to be announced DLC gem pack) you get Rainbow Edition Guile, really good.
And then you use those gems with dominant characters instead of the character with shitty footsies and suddenly the game is unplayable.
Good luck balancing that. I do agree that permanent, passive bonuses would be nicer, though.
I feel that to make the most out of Divine Speed, you have to be that good a player to maximize the effect of said Gem. Its not as black and white people try to make it seem…you know the~ if it doesnt add to damage it isn’t worth it argument.
but to change the subject a bit~ I think that the Gems activation conditions are the key to any players…well playstyle. what works for you is pretty much the best answer, however I think it comes down to making activation condition stack or active at the same time to get the most out of their effects. That idea isnt best suited for longer matches as your gems effects may run out but i think its better to have them all activate then never activating at all.
So, I figure this is the best place to ask:
I want to make sure I get all my special bonus whatevers for this game. I preordered the SE/CE/whatever at Gamestop. Does that mean I’ll get all the extra/preorder/Special gems?
yeah, i think i said so not that long ago…

yeah get all of the lol gems that make people rage for no reason because apparently they are useless until proven otherwise.
I rarely play online so the only person raging will be me :3
lol, it doesnt matter, at least you get stuff you mite have ended up paying for later anyways…among the other stuff they are going to make DLC, you know Costumes, Colors(who does that? oh wait Arc), and apparently characters but i dont buy it yet, but totally see more gems coming, whether or not they are inexpensive or worth it is another matter.
Anyone a bit concerned about the timeouts that have been witnessed recently? I’m worried that the defense gems along with the health regenerating gems might make running down the clock a bit too powerful in certain match-ups.
it wont matter after people find damaging combos and different setups. characters will be KO’ed alot more often…we were just suffering from some real early MVC3 stuff…you know when there was like only 8 or so characters revealed…
Damaging combos and setups plus pow gems will make this move a lot faster.
Also everyone’s been using nothing but defense gems lmao.
