The Official Ranting Thread

Why do people need to use Auto block in endless 0_0. its such BS, I somehow beat this guy using them, then his friend used them as well. The worst part is they could block mixups fine, and blocking builds back all the meter they need to auto block some more -_-.
But the very worst part about this, is after i lost i stayed to watch as i was curious what a match is like between to autoblock users, it was the most boring thing i have ever seen, watching paint dry was a much more appealing alternative. all that happened was the backwards forwards dance everyone does online, followed by c.mk hadouken, since they were both ryu. match decided by chip alone, not a single hit was landed. It was a sight I hope i never have to see again

At least we can set the search option according to rank. I don’t think cherry-picking opponents is a good thing when it comes to ranked matches.

Although they will have to fix the netcode or whatever is causing the lag.

Bring back player matches with no points at all capcom. just let us play the game for this thing called …ahhh… thats right FUN. what a novel concept in a fighting game. that and fix paul.

end rant.

Do people control their characters with their faces? Look at the input and it’s a stream of mashing cr. strong/for or sweep. Must be what Capcom was going for with boost combos; it’s probably easy to llmh by smashing your face on our pad/stick.

2 more days we’ll be free of this madness you speak of. Thank you SFxT God!

I usually don’t send anything, but I have to admit, if I saw that I’m pretty sure it would be my first time ever sending rage mail, for a match I wasn’t even in no less.

I’d probably just send one word.

A snippet

“Can make herself a safe character thanks to LK Tsumuji.” This is garbage. LK Tsumuji is not safe. It is -3 and thus punishable by a variety of reversals. Any competent Ibuki player would know this. HK Tsumuji is +/-0 on block, making it preferable to use in most situations.

“Great mix-ups.” Ibuki does not really have the strongest mix-ups. Competent players will not often fall victim to command dash shenanigans, and beyond that all she has is a very slow overhead and Hien, which no one should have a hard time blocking either. Her strength is in her pressure and frame trapping game as well as the ridiculous amount of meter she builds for the team as a result. The blithering idiot who wrote this is likely some dipshit scrub sticking HK Kasumi Gake (command dash) into every fucking block string against his fellow dumbass scrubs who lack the reactions or knowledge to punish it.

“Must get a knockdown to maximize damage.”? Wait…what? Think about this statement for a minute…
“Yorotoshi is now an attack that can be blocked.” First of all, *Yoroitoshi. Second, how the fuck is this a weakness. It is an excellent super with great utility. This blowhard is probably not even aware of how it is used in SFxT.

Eventhubs is a cesspool of bad information and whiny idiotic teenagers. As a public service announcement, I would like to make it clear to any new players who happen to read this post, DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING GAMEPLAY OR BALANCE RELATED ON THIS WEB SITE EVER FOR ANY REASON.

It pisses me off just to see Ibuki being played in a gimmicky or generally scrubby fashion, but for one of these idiots to actually think they’re qualified to write a fucking guide for their shitty little “community” about this character whom they know nothing about just makes me want to punch a baby.

I mean business when it comes to Ibuki. >_>

Why not go inform them of that stuff? :eek: Send Catalyst an email

Why is Julia’s crossup so damn predicable??! Even noobs block it salt

I can’t force myself to create an account there and honestly I don’t know why I read their news even occasionally. I hadn’t considered sending an e-mail to Catalyst directly, but I’ve publicly trashed on his web site on so many occasions I doubt he’d want to consider my advice. Unless, of course, he agrees with me and is only in it for the ad revenue, which is a strong possibility.

I can’t wait for that gem nerf. I had an auto block & easy input user that I whittled down and beat after a painfully boring match of draining his meter and mixing him up and get a message that says “play me in marvel son…”. Wtf? There is no auto block there, I assume he’d be really bad at that.

I dunno if this will help you, but.

Swift dash overhead anyone lower than 2k bp. Swift dash low short anyone over 10kbp works every time lol.

I… I hate you sooooo much right now, lol. (wait, I’m in between those two, where does that leave me?)

In all seriousness, I’ve picked Julia back up here and there, now that I’ve born witness to the power of Swift Step >> cr.lk (and apparently I can do CADC party crasher consistently if I actually try!). Not exactly her tricky Swift Step Low Kick from Tekken, but hey it works.

(0:48 for the Swift Step Low Kick aka "did you really KO me with that?!)

Still wish she could do party crasher juggles in this game too (0:41), but that might be too salt-inducing and cause a massive spike in rage quits.

Every Julia over 10k will abuse Cr. Mk constantly until you either get tired of blocking it or they’re KO’d. I really want to throw my controller through my TV everytime I fall for that crap! I don’t mean to sound salty (actually I do lol) I would love to see the range nerfed on it.

True, but the tables can be turned pretty easily when you get a good life lead and hold downback.

Remember, Julia’s DP has a bad angle and 9 frame startup for a reason.

How am I supposed to win if you tell everyone that? :frowning:

Mission 19… i want to either a) strangle the programer who made this, or b) get my hands on that health gem…

Pick one character that you’re good with and Zangief as second. Pummel the shit out of whoever you’re fighting and then switch to Gief. Launch vietnamese tactics, mash PPP lariat. Cue laughter.
