Well, SF4 was the first video game I’ve actually played besides pokemon lol . I’ve grown to really like fighting games, oh and dead space <3 (so scary lol!). I’ve played sf4, ssf4, mk9, mvc3, umvc4, SC4, SG, Tekken 6, and SFxT. SFxT is the only game I’ve played which really promotes and rewards “lame” game play on an extreme level (if you look at evo half the games ended in timeouts and people were poked to death). I’m not really an expert but I think the reason this happens is because health regens to fast, timer doesnt stop on tag and supers, and the spacing between the characters is way to large (feels like the entire game is zoomed out). If you really like the game ignore the lame players and just enjoy yourself! I’m sure they will fix the problems in this game so everyone can enjoy themselves :)!
Viper, Zero and Magneto would like a word with you.
I find jabs vs throws outright disgusting in this game. Coming from SSF4 and Marvel, throws are shit in this game. That really “throws” me off because I tend to play very throw-heavy in order to make people hesitant to get in very close. Now we look at jabs. We have a tool that is safe on block, rapid cancelable into itself, and leads into a launcher. WTF? On paper, that just sounds broken. That’s probably because it is. I only use jabs in fighting games in combos or as a way to stuff moves at close range, not as a way to lead into long combos. That just feels dirty. I prefer to land combos off of clean hits so I know I actually hit someone.
I’m mostly basing this off of Steve and Hugo, but WTF did they do to supers in this game? Some of them are stupidly safe on block, when they shouldn’t be. In what other game can you randomly throw out melee supers and not expect to be punished?
Why those motherfuckers…
I am fighting two guys in a ranked match and suddenly I got disconnected when I’m about to win. Is it possible for someone to disconnect you from GFWL while in a match? I’m a bit suspicious that my opponents are responsible for my disconnection.
Every now and then there will be a bunch of frauds trying to earn their points in an illegitimate manner. Bullshit.
um, I rarely see anyone just throwing out random supers, even online.
Out of curiosity, I went to check these out (I’m in training mode anyway :razzy:).
Steve’s super is -42 on block. I was able to block it and punish with a raw HK Pinwheel from Juri, amongst other things.
Hugo’s super is -14, but does have some pretty nasty pushback that makes it hard to punish.
Most supers are pretty punishable, and it isn’t really worth wasting two bars randomly in a game where doing so can get you punished for 1 bar (maybe not even a bar) and cost you 50% of your health.
Turtle player are really starting to piss me off, lol. Who runs away in a fighting game, what if someone ran away in boxing or UFC people would boo haha.
*rant ended
After so many years of dealing with Guile AKA Sergeant Shell AKA Colonel Keepaway, you get kinda used to it. :-p
Do all Guiles play like that? I fought a Guile earlier and the first thing he did is to crouch and then Flash Kick if I get close or Sonic Boom if I get far.
Nah not really. Just a lot of my experiences from way back in the days of playing friends in SF lol.
Turtling done right is a frustrating match but still legit :p.
That said, I am seeing more offensive Guiles lately…
i see what you did there.
welcome to GFWL ranked my friend…enjoy!
i don’t even play ranked anymore because of lag switching, rage quitting shenanigans. i just play in endless in AE.
i’d also like to say that the only reason why i never got this SFxT game pc is coz Adon isn’t in it. if he was i’d be maining my dream team Adon+Juri all day.
now that woulda been a great team. coz they are total opposites in every way you can imagine. S tier team right there.
lastly,…
is namcobandai still in the works of making TxSF?
or has that been cancelled due to capcom fouling up this game?
I need to rant about Harada jumping on the DLC hate wagon purely to pimp his own games. It’s so transparent and really common these days. As soon as one company does something that creates uproar amongst games you can bet your ass a competing developer will come out of the woodwork to slag them off and white knight themselves. I can’t believe people fall for that shit.
its quite simple.
match is fine regarding lag.
you go on a roll. he’s about to die.
all of a sudden lag kicks in seriosly. your inputs suffer more than his coz due to the psychics of it all your upload speed gets more shut down than his…he gets to come back…all of a sudden when its in his favor(he has life lead)…lag disappears.
its a suspiciously kicking in lag when you are on a roll in the second/third round. and disappears when they have the life lead.
how can you also tell if its a lag switcher?
if they continue applying pressure on you even through all they lag, even though you have created space between the two of you and you are spamming standing jab on the other side of the screen …and he obviously sees you **spamming standing jab from far side of the screen…yet he refuses to wait for the lag slowdown to disappear and continues trying to get in your grill.
*spamming jab from the far side of the screen is the universal tool to communicate to your opponents that you refuse to play with lag…to keep it legit and not have lag affect either person’s gameplay…and that you’ll wait out the lag till it disapates to continue the match.
major onscreen visual lag is bad…but major input lag with minor visual lag is far worse.
you’ll be hitting buttons yet absolutely nothing comes out. and holding back to block also doesn’t register.
i’ll put up with a lag switcher that slows down the screen to a crawl…but when they luckily get input lag…there’s nothing you can do.
lol, as a juri player…when i come up against a lag switcher…i’ve learned never to try something like ex divekick into U2 in AE coz once that wall bounce happens…homboy is hitting that switch and throwing off my input timing for U2…and that requires really really strict timing or it’ll wiff.
look…capcom needs to do away with the point system entirely. get rid of that shit. it causes people to lose their monkey minds an start shenanigans. ranked is unplayable in AE nowadays due to everybody in the english speaking countries to start that bs lag switching. ranked is unplayable.
So that explains it. So experiencing a “Virtua Fighter 2 Dural” experience during a match may also involve a lag switch, and getting disconnected while you are about to win is no accident either!
I should’ve known those scumbags are up to no good! Upon seeing that they’re rank C with 600+ BPs I suspected that there’s something wrong with them. They’re probably losing points doing that “taking you with me” disco shenanigans.
Exactly. When I read the “news” abut Harada´s “I´d rather quit my job than putting DLC in!” speech I was baffled by the vast amount of positive feedback he got. Yeah, I´m sure one would give up his job in a prime position just for including DLC in one of his games. Jobs aren´t worth shit anyway…
On a less sarcastic note, I think it would´ve been fine if he just said “We´re not going to do it this way”. The way he put it, it just felt like he shot Capcom in the back just to stand a bit higher on it´s corpse.
Oh… game companies want to make money of their investments/products and force developers/producers to add paid DLC? The same thing that’s been happening in other genres and other fighting games? Who’d have thought…
FGC, remain childish and clueless forever lolz
its natural that people play defensive…there is no problem with that. If someone can effectively run-way from you and your trying to rush them down, then it’s most likely telling you…you needed to level up your rushdown in someway, either that or level up on your adaption skills.
some people play a hybrid of this, I know I do when I play Morrigan in Marvel 3(Vanilla), but this is going into fighting game philosophy…in short, this shit has been around forever…and it;s evolved to other tactics people call bitch shit like Camping…ya I said it…the floodgates are open.
Shit talking in ranked, plus crippling input lag(while shit talking), and auto block gems are the reason why I no longer have a working stick today as of 5 minutes ago…or a window now.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 actually has DLC characters, albeit free on preorder. My hypothesis is that they intend to sell those DLCs but decided to make them free after the SFxT debacle.
