Yeah, I have a rant!
Oh… wait.
Crouch blocking seems useless in this game. Overhead xx Huge combo 
autoblock gemz son. then punish harshly when you see your character glow.
Gems don’t add depth to the game in any kind of interesting way. Only the assist gems have interesting effects, but they are not balanced and should be banned. The core gameplay is fun but lacking in depth and all the systems they implemented to give the game some strategic depth are shitty. Pandora, Cross Assault, Gems; none of these systems are interesting or useful.
online matches in this game are similar to hero and heralds mode with the autoblock/autotech gems. imagine someone who runs away, builds meter, zones you, and has an autoblock gem. its a fight to just strip their meter away first before you can do any significant damage. kinda like fighting phoenix. did capcom think any of this through before putting it in their game? i guess not. this is capcoms SSBB. just a random party game.
tech rolling sucks. just saying
I’m not a fan of those gems, but i might have to check it out.
Just after playing a few sets online before work, just thought I’d come and have a quick rant…
- Auto Throw Tech is stupidly good.
- Ryu/Guile team is annoying
- Ryu, Ken, Akuma and Raven are the only characters in the game
Also, I wish people would walk outside and get some nice fresh air, I have probably play the game for about 20 or so hours in between work and friends, and with about half losses and half wins, I have 900+ BP…I fought someone with 7000+ BP…it’s just like…what? lol
Just wanted to say I’m sick of people that tell Capcom to “step it up and get good beta testers” or whatever. Dudes, realize it already,** you** are the beta tester of the game, why pay for someone when it’s easier to release the game and see what the hell we come about? they even get money out of it apparently since the game is bought and supported blindly anyways.
Overheads are super important in this game. Of course, Steve Fox has the shoddy one.
Poisons is negative on hit. lol anyone else havinga shoddy one.
Poison got that everything else though. Stevie is like frame trap or death right now.
20 bucks for 12 characters is reasonable, assuming you don’t already feel entitled to them. Will be buying them whenever they come out. A buck a costume is great, but I won’t buy them so it’s not a big deal to me.
My only real complaints about this game are:
-the lack of color options, which admittedly isn’t important.
-Autocombo. Please let me turn this shit off. I don’t get it on accident or anything (though friends of mine and people in my community have complained about it), but the fact that you 1. Can’t turn it off and 2. Can no longer OS tech with fierce and OS backdashes with roundhouse is retarded.
-Potential balance, but it’s way too early to say. I’m currently pleased, but there is admittedly some dumb stuff. I think it’s more a problem of the risk/reward dynamic being skewed waaaaay too far in the favor of “risk”.
-I guess infinites? I don’t know, not really worried about it. They’ll get patched out or banned, not too concerning to me.
Oh, and I don’t play online so I am not affected by it, but THAT shit is unacceptable; that’s where everyone’s hate needs to be focused.
Has there even been characters more braindead than sfxt rufus and hugo in a fighting game?
Probably Ryu and Gief. Can’t deny Rufus and Hugo though.
Ryu’s fireball charge cancel gave him great rushdown ability. Cr.mk xx donkey kick strings. Mix it up with cr.mk xx hadoken xx charge cancel forward, grab / overhead / lp.strings back into donkey kick/more hadoken cancels…and you can see he’s got a new rushdown dynamic.
On the topic of complaints, just something that slightly irritates me is how weird some of the charge cancel commands are. Like with Ogre its qcb+p, f,f. Its really awkward cancelling attacks with that and dashing forward.
Seems like it benefits some characters more than others, ala FADC in SF4. However, still too early to tell.
Everyone is using auto jump gems 
Another day filled with these kids spamming the launch combo. Yay, you’re so cool, bro/rant
hey mom, look what happens when i press these 4 buttons…hehe
Yes. 3rd Strike Chun Li.
Here’s my rant/prediction, if Daigo wins Evo in SF X Tekken…America’s going to war. Tip to Daigo just lose.
