The Official Ranting Thread

Untechable knock down are not gone. You can’t quick rise from a sweep, throw or a neck breaker. He probably means you can’t gofor a mix up when you score a knockdown because you can tech roll. Foward only

Hmm, have been watching a few videos here and there. Regarding fireballs…

They look stronger than in SF4, but then again how couldn’t they be? Aside from SF3, IV has some of the weakest fireball zoning around. It seems like the Tekken characters have some fireball evasion moves that look easy to perform. The match between Daigo and Tokido showed Ryu having a hard time zoning Bob, but then again it was apparently Daigo’s first time playing. I get the feeling Dhalsim will be strong in this one, since he’ll be able to tag Tekken characters with his normals if they evade his fires. Also, since the oki game has been nerfed I think Akuma is going to go back to being a zoning beast. My assumption is he’ll be the most removed from his IV version, but we’ll see.

On another note, I’m not sure you’ll be able win matches strictly by fireball zoning. The tag mechanic means you’ll have to beat your opponent faster, hence the juggles and massive combo setups. But again, we’ll see. Cole looked like a pretty intense zoner with his grenade and crazy AA.

which of the SF4 series is played most online?

I have been away for a while and when I came back it seems that there is no online. Just wondering

Ahh. So you can quickroll even after a sweep, but only forward? Does that mean you can roll backwards on other knockdowns? Also, whats the roll input? And have they changed quick stand input?

And is roll hit/throw immune?

this game looks 80% terrible…but like 20% interesting! I cant stand it

Nope, only can roll forward on all knockdowns. I think the input is holding forward. I don’t believe that they changed the input for quick rise. Youn smash all button or hit down twice

Ah thanks. Do you know anything about the rolls properties? Immunity, character specific range/speed,can you delay it, how early does it have to be inputted, option selectable? +++

Amazing how this breifly looked like they had actually learned something from SSF4… and then they took it all out again.

Damage and options are for wimps. Store meter to play.

You wanna know what TRULY sucks about this game? How the fuck do you NOT include Jin and Lars, two of the biggest Tekken characters? Especially Jin, he’s been the main character since the franchise was created.

Ono sucks, always has. I look forward to more poor decisions and even more “HEHEHEHEHE OMG I HAZ A BLANKA TOY” moments.

uh?

Oh yeah, I forgot he was revealed recently! Thanks. Lars still isn’t in, sucks.

There’s a chance he might be in, though.

You spelled “Kazuya” wrong.

Uhhh…He is only in half of them…

Norieaga looking soft in the knowledge department

Nice try.

Hahah, eff you guys. How can you hate on me for hating in a hate thread???

because Hate is all around, nobody is safe

Because your hate makes no sense when you have no idea what you’re talking about. Haha.

well he’s half way right, Jin has been somewhat the main character from T3 and up…so i guess thats plausible. also showing that main characters in tekken are not really good nor really evil…

T1 Kazuya was the main protagonist…in T2 he was the main antagonist, Jin in T3 was the main protagonist, and the same in T4 and T5, going into T6 he became the main antagonist(or anti-hero if you look at it in a whole during the final moments of T6 story mode). Kazuya maybe a jackass to his family but its understandable as they love throwing each other into volcano’s…

As long as Ken is good, I’m in for the ride baby…

I only wished all the colors and stuff would go away, the glowing greens and reds etc…are signals for gems n stuff, but man, looks really cheesy…
