The Official Ranting Thread

Anyone who runs jack/sim team is a dick. Period.

I played a Sim/Jack-X team…I enjoyed that runaway fest. I lost the first time then came back and won when I played the guy again. Jack-X makes me think on the fly. Dhalsim ain’t a problem for me…I just drop kick his ass whenever he teleports.

Why jump when you already know it isn’t safe? :s

If you look before you leap, you might not leap at all :china:

Anyone ranting that faced me?:stuck_out_tongue: I am a dick that is running Dhalsim x Jack:D

Well to me, SFxT is weak. I understand some top players may like it, but I also understand that fighting games are these top players stream of income so they’re going to say anything that keeps the lights on.

The universal ABC-Launcher, the jab-confirm fest, auto combos, unnecessary Pandora, and auto block/throw gems just isn’t for me. The lack of stages, lack of music, lack of endings, lack of co-op of Xbox, lack of colors, the list goes on and on.

Capcom didn’t capture the essence of some of my favorite Tekken characters. Maybe this mash up just wasn’t meant to be. I don’t like how dumb down King is. “Raven SFxT” plays nothing like the real Raven to point where it feels blasphemous when i see him rushdown jabbing all match. I also feel like im playing a real boxer when i play Steve Fox in Tekken. Bobbing and weaving is effective. But in SFxT, I feel like im just using a character with punching moves.

The general consensus is that this game is a failure as an overall product. Capcom needs to get back to the basics. Less bloated untested gimmicks. Make sure the MS and Sony versions are at least 98% identical. Give your customers a complete fighting game package (like Namco and Netherrealm does).

In the meantime, I’ll be playing Tekken Tag 2 and keeping my eye on TxSF & InJustice.

I main Steve Fox and I’d say that he’s a good character but i’m still learning him but why doesn’t he have:
A good anti air
A cross up
A proper reversal (got grabbed out of ex sonic fang)

And why is his counter blockable? Counters shouldn’t be blockable!!!

While I can’t say anything in regards to how you feel about the tekken cast in this game…

universal ABC-Launcher: Bad damage scaling, players who know the game launch off links or optimized chains and only use ABC in tight punish situations if they have nothing else.

** jab-confirm fest : **90% fixed as of the last patch, only cammy remains a problem and is pretty easily countered with smart use of crosscounters and backdash. Now if you’re talking about just confirming off lights in general… you might wanna go back and look how some AE characters are played.

**auto combos: **Are a joke, agreed. They’re also almost completely useless.

**unnecessary Pandora: **While I don’t think it’s unnecessary, I do feel it’s wildly underutilized, only useful in 1v1 play and very situational. Cross Assault is the true comeback mechanic but sadly requires 2v2.

auto block/throw gems: Nerfed to being so useless you don’t even see them online anymore. Also banned in all tournaments. True story.

lack of stages: 10 stages with some containing varients for rounds 2 and 3 isn’t enough?

lack of music: I dunno about a lack of music, but yea some of the stage music is pretty forgettable.

lack of co-op of Xbox: Can’t really argue this one, they dropped the ball. It’s one of the few gripes that people regularly throw out that I feel is legit.

**lack of colors: **Neon-Rainbow Rufus would like to have words with you.

I thought the ABC launcher was added because Capcom thought it is a Tekken standard.

In regards to the game being horrible, then why did it receive such scores?

Sounds like someone was not blocking low and jumping. And the player was probably me. Lol

Jack is a keep away character… Lol

This is why you will never get any better. Face your problem and learn how to deal with it. That is how you get better. Better yet, why not learn jack x so that you don’t get rocked like that again.?

I’m suprised it took this long for people to complain about jack x…

He’s a Los a hard character to play…lol

I agree with you, but what’s a “Los?”

Freakin’ Sakura Trial 20. This is one of maybe 3 trials in the game where the CADC is involved and to me, this combo is a complete waste of a full meter.
All I have left is Christie 17 and Sakura 20 and I look forward to Christie’s. Seems like that combo might be used in gameplay.

Finally defeated that Hugo/Zangief team at the expense of my sanity. T_T

Some guy named UnselfishAxe289? I just met him again and this time he was using Auto-block gems. Not worth the effort.

Yes, that’s right. I watched a replay of your fight against him before, and it’s quite disappointing to find out that he started going for the Auto-block gems now. I managed to score a win earlier, but Hugo’s just too much for me. :frowning:

I really can’t tell which one of us is the better player now that he started using assist gems, but don’t like making excuses for every loss either. :frowning:

Hugo is a free matchup to ryu.

You should be destroying hugo man. Start by watching renic’s anti hugo stragety.

Backdown all day against him.

Fireball from far away. Zone him out with c.mk, hadoken.

If you’re within hugo’s body splash range, just crouch hp beat him everytime.

If he start to lariat through ur fireball, wait for it and punish. Its -7 on block… Very much punishable.

Hugo want to get close. Dont let him. Make him cry.

I tried countering the splash with Juri’s c.HP and it traded. Haven’t tried it with Ryu somehow as I always miscalculate the distance. I managed to beat 2 Hugo matches now (although they were able to beat me back afterwards), so I guess there’s still hope for me. :slight_smile:

What’s the name of the anti-Hugo video? I should check that out, thanks. :smiley:

I think I found it. Is it this one? Makes me wonder why this is not posted somewhere here or the front page.

Thanks for the advices. :slight_smile:

Jin / Kazuya heavy kick jump-in spam = 11k+ points on the pc ladder, seriously? Good thing i play Ibuki, b.mp 24/7 …

Its like that on XBL as well. I have so many easy wins from AA combos i felt i was getting worse, so i play endless instead, normally better competition.
