Wow, just saw Arturo using the auto-block gem. So basically he zones you out to build meter, then when you FINALLY get close enough to really attack or mixup you can’t mix him up with throws at all. Plus he’s got enough meter for the gem to activate from all the zoning you went through to make it into close range.
I think we can safely say gems need to be banned at tourneys until the “tourney mode” is released or whatever.
I’d recommend banning just that genre of gem(auto-action stuff) or all Assist Gems before banning all gems. Game and Seth Killian even say Boost Gems are more core to the game.
I understand where you are coming from on this, however I’m worried about the potential for slippery slope.
If you allow certain categories of gems, you will still have to deal with the fact that some gems may be clearly beter/worse then others. If you ban the “OP” gems, then something else will become OP. Then you have to account for that. Not to mention there will be supporters leaving some gems in/keeping them out, etc etc.
You know there will always be that guy who researches everything and can find someway to create an “optimal” gem setup even within a limited set of options. I feel that an across-the-board ban until further developments occur will be better in the long run. That way you don’t have to deal any of the above issues, and everyone is playing the game on its factory standard settings, so to speak.
There are other issues of course with gem inclusion, but the above points stand for now.
Is this a fighting game? I know people nowadays mostly only care about doing combos(of any kind) and about having a nice looking command list. But somewhere along the way, you should want to actually kill somebody.
That theory seems lost today. Since a few people are really STILL trying to coax me to play this “game”, but instead of telling me aspects of the gameplay that are actually solid, they describe what combo they did or what a certain gem does. Like I’m supposed to eat shit up. Of course Capcom is gonna give you combos. And DLC.
For those of you having fun and don’t care about stuff, just ignore my posts. Ono is truly the most powerful man in the goddamn universe though…
LOL at auto block or auto throw tech gems. You had to know someone would find a way to make that stupid. They need to be banned period my god. Aside from the fact that there will end up being these crazy optimal combinations there is the issue of them all being DLC anyway.
So fucking dumb I cant believe pretty much everything I was worried about for this game basically came true. Played a bunch more today and all I got was a damn headache from the lovely color palette let alone the choppy gameplay.
@Mike: Having to block or tech is for loosers man didnt you know
Jason mentioned not dying in one or two hits in SFxT, but I just saw a video of Poongko using Kazuya/Heihachi and winning matches in under a minute. In the second round, he literally did two combos and won.
Also, Poongko is making Kazuya look ridiculous. That wavedash into invincible EX move is looking stupid.
Oh yea, apparently. It’s like the picked on fat kids grew up, became developers, and are having their revenge this generation. Skimping on everything. Even the technawlogees are getting lazier.
Holy fuck. I don’t want to live in this world Sev…
@ Lee: Let me guess. EWGF is the invincible EX move right? Haha oh man…

@Hiryu: I think we should at least give Boost Gems a fair shot until proven too powerful to be included. Smash community ran items for a bit before they realized that they were too random even with only certain items on(capsule explosions) so that was the point where they removed them. How long did it take for Akuma to get banned in that one SF? <<-- legit question I don’t actually know.
Boost Gems aren’t random and activate when you achieve a specific action. The most powerful attack or defense up gems only involve pandora mode. The only thing I’m saying is give them a couple tourneys to generate real results before we kick them out and start doing spot checks on all setups before a tourney to make sure all gems are deselected.
@Victory in two combos and damage is high: The second one is a level 3 Cross Assault Super. It’s going to do damage. Damage is high in this game. Damage is high in other games. This isn’t Street Fighter, this is Street Fighter X Tekken. I’m worried that people are approaching this game with preconceived notions tgat it’s supposed to be like some other game when it’s a new title all if its own.
Lee, why would you post this so I can see it? You evil, evil, man.
Lol Sev told me music was awful, just didn’t know how bad.
Ok graphics are still hideous…next.
Why does Jin’s f,f,+2 throw an orb? What the fuck is this shit??
Hahahahahah at how fast matches end. In before, “Nononononono, it’s only cuz they did the GOOD COMBOS!”
Fucking joke game.
@Astaroth: Yeah I was watching those vids and I saw that two combo situation. I mean he did end with tag super which does take three bars so its not like he is gonna get it in one round but its still pretty crazy
@Milln: Even if the gems are not OP, which would be a huge surprise to me, you still have the issue of them being DLC so not everyone is gonna even have them all. Hell Final Round, the second biggest tourney in the US next to Evo, had set ups that didnt even have DLC chars for KOF and marvel sets ups missing patches and this is a damn major
@Mike: Yeah Jin has a FB, as does Steve Fox. EX move = WGF and its invulnerable I think to anything. Also am I the only one who thinks they made Hei look like Dr Wily simply cause Fat Mega Man was in the game.
@ Mike: I knew you’d have some type of input on it. rofl
So glad there is KOF…otherwise i would be playing sf4 for another 5 years :X
How many DLC characters are there? 12? Is that true?
@ Sev: You did not just tell me that Steve Fox has a fireball, then IM me just to make sure I read it. Please don’t kill me tonight. I can’t take much more of this.
@ Lee: I just want to make sure I’m not in the Twilight Zone.
@ Eddie: Yep, 12 of them including Hunchback of Notre Dame Bryan Fury. All revealed before game even came out. Niggas gonna overdraft their bank account trying to complete the roster for Shit Feast x Turds.
This I can agree with. F DLC
You got it all wrong. It’s not a fireball, it’s a FISTball, so it makes sense.
Sorry to hear about your mom Jas, but glad to hear it looks like she’ll be ok.
Dat CAPCOMitalism fa life yo…
I wonder how much they will be…each…
@ Anthony: You played and learned Tekken 6 for a full 20 minutes. Please tell me that you are still a normal person with a brain. Please tell me that you can attest to the mockery and abominable horror that is Shit Feast x Turds.
@ Eddie: I seriously hope each character is $39.99 plus tax each. See how far Capcom can penetrate assholes. Why not?
