The Official Ranting Thread

So. I ran into my first infinite user in ENDLESS BATTLE of all places. He was using Kazuya’s re-stand infinite…And I was unlucky enough to have Ogre. This is the first time I’ve EVER wanted to send an angry message to someone. I mean, I’d understand if it was ranked battle. but god, it’s another thing to spam infinite combos endless battle and then gloat about it.

Tell him to enjoy it while it lasts :rolleyes: once it gets patched out he’ll have nothing to fall back on.

i have to say that infinite is the easiest one i have ever seen. i mess around with it today and i was getting around 3 and 4 reps after not even 5 min. my execution on timing tends to suck until i practice something about 200 times but damn it was so easy.

i was speaking specifically to the dash up throw option. i dont expect to see people getting thrown by that in about a month or so

ryu is -4 after c.mk xx dash cancel, at best. so technically you have no options at all after a charge dash cancel

i honestly didnt expect it to be that good on block. shits extra gimmicky

do you know what it is after a sweep?

Bible say’s sweep x dash cancelled hadouken is -4.

Dunno if this math is right: sweep has 4 active and 24 recovery, -8 on block so that means 20 frames of blockstun. Ryu’s dash is 17 frames. I guess the guide is counting on cancelling on the last active frame so you’re up for 21 frames of animation, plus the 3 initial frames (iirc) that you can’t dash cancel if it’s like sf4 focus, making it -4. If that’s correct cr.mk x dc hadouken should be -8 (17 blockstun, 5+17+3 animation).

I fought someone with easy input Ryu last night and the constant flashing in your face to let you know he’s using easy input Ryu is insane. It’s like having a camera flash go off in your face every second. It’s unbelievably distracting and annoying.

where are the fucking colors? release that shit already. stop locking every fucking little thing because johnny doughnuts might get offended at fake nakedness.

Lol more like locked so they can sell it as DLC.

Yup lots more colors are locked; look at the space for additional colors. Also two more gems slots are locked, DLC for 2 more slots and probably more gems.

The gameplay thus far (and i know its not weeks into the lifecycle of the game) seems so simplistic. With throws being nerfed to shit, another up close mixup has been removed. Games end up in endless cross up attempts tap tap (now out of range so cant throw) cross up, tap tap, again, cross up, tap tap, ohhhhh one of the hits has registered, lp, mp, hp > launcher > 15 second super animation. Reset situation. Again. Run miles across the overly large screen to meet each other in the middle (wasting more seconds off the clock) jumpity jumpity jump> rinse and repeat.

Its really basic stuff but i cannot see yet how the game can evolve any further than that. Is that fun? Do you feel you have earned a great win? Is there any incenctive to try anything different?

Screen are too big, throw range and startup time is really poor, games ending in timeouts, same old flowchart combos each and every time one of those little hit confirms lands. Is this all we have to look forward to? Am i missing something at this early stage? Please say i am.

Those calling for colours are going to be disappointed as all of your nice editing will be wasted as your first hit turns your character into a glowing red ‘Ready Brek’ kid meaning it doesnt matter what your characters colour was when the round began.

Plus, same rant again…why do i not have the option in a 2 player lobby to ‘rematch’ like in mvc3?! We spend more time online selecting, loading before fights, and then ending up having the same characters. This game sounded brilliant in principle but forget the hype, if this was a brand new game called, ‘Team Fighters’ without the SF or Tekken moniker then trust me, none of us would touch it with a bargepole. Seriously think about it…would you? Would you really buy this game, with DLC on the disk that you have to pay to unlock, online sound issues ruining hit confirm timing etc and gameplay about as deep as a game of ‘slaps’ if it was a new company launching it. I think we have all been duped and should feel a little ashamed of ourselves at this early stage.

I really hope the people saying how bad this game is (which is quite obvious) are returning their copies and actively discouraging others from purchasing this shit.

Colors…where the fuck are the damn colors?! PS3 got 2…2 free characters yesterday and they couldn’t throw us a few colors to fuck with? Smh.

I don’t know about you guys but I have had quite some fun with this game already, despite it flaws.

I had some fun until I met my first Ryu/Guile team and get outzoned for 99 seconds without being able to do anything that was worth the pain, that was just as boring as Sagat vs Sagat or Honda vs Honda in SF4.

Not really a complaint, but just a question I have…

Why would anyone want to use turtle characters in a game as aggressive as this one? It boggles my mind.

if it gets you wins then why not? while i agree with your sentiment, most people aren’t in the game to enjoy it (this applies to games in general), but they play to win and if doing it that way gets them wins, then they do it. why do you think people lag switch? that can’t be fun for either party, but it still happens.

being beaten by a zoning ryu doesnt happen unless your terrible. try to get better before you complain.

Neither him, nor I were complaining. Try to read posts before making yourself look like an ass.

However, while we’re on the subject of Ryu, it should be noted that his zoning game has improved with the addition of the dash cancel. So no, getting zoned out by Ryu doesn’t make you terrible per se. Sure there are alot of characters with easy ways through it, but there are also those that can’t.
