ok
So, do you expect games to last a lot longer than before?
His hurtbox is utter garbage. I hate playing that guy because you can never be sure if youāre going to hit him or if itās going to be yet another scenario where Chunās foot goes right through his shoulder.
It also results in some very wonky behavior when he crosses you up. More than 50% of his model is on the other side but more than 50% of his hurtbox is still in front and similarly dumb stuff.
Do you guys think that S3 will be more defensive overall? Is this what we collectively want?
Idk if we want it mor defensive, but less yolo dashes and jumps and random FORWARD MOVING MOVE THAT YOU CANT BLOCK ON REACTION!!! Would be good.
This game at all levels but the highest tends to just be dash, jump, forward moving move, forward moving air moveā¦ repeat series at random. I played an Alex yesterday who basically substituted the ādashā for random elbows, the jumps forā¦ er jumps and random stomps and random headbutts, and forward moving move was st.hk andā¦ pick a specialā¦ bah. Very upclose game was all lariat into powerbomb/st.mp/another lariat. And that was that Alex. The problem was that I couldnāt block the elbows on reaction so he could just kinda do what he wanted and jab AA fixed all his problems.
Getting the input lag down would be great so that maybe I could think of blocking shit like that. Like even if I walk and block in anticipation I still get hit a lot because it takes 7 frames for the block to come out.
Less jumping and specials in laggy conditions that you canāt beat with normals or react blocking would be amazing.
Then again, that wouldnāt be sf5 soā¦ w/e
In other news that nigga Young Zeku might be top tier. Too early to call but the dude is pretty good.
No, just people will need to think twice before going full ape on theirs opponents. Less jump city, less setups and less cmd grab blenders, Iām ok with that. Whoever says these changes are going to make the game less fun itās just a fraud.
Every Alex Iāve fought play like that. When this game plan donāt work they pull off the plug. The game needs to teach that this kind of play doesnāt lead to nothing but a defeat, the game issues create these players because most of the time they were able to win like that.
Once they release the patch notes, iāll let you know who I get a " yorkey feeling " about in terms of tiers, then snap shot it.
Iām kind of happy tick throws are nerfed though, fuck shimmy too, itās a good thing iām starting this game 2 years later, got less shimmy to worry about, donāt want niggaās breaking my ankle, I mean thumb.
I just realized, ive been talking about a game I barely play for 2 years until recently, donāt body me when I start playing you guys. o_o
Season 3 is going to be much better than Season 2.
Iām going through the EHubs translated patch notes and it says that opponents can now flip out if they get AAās by Ken and Akumaās EX DP(??) Anyone know whatās the thought process behind this? They both have similar EX DPs so Iām not sure if thereās some peculiar property with them when used as an AA.
My guess is it means you can now quick-rise if you only get scraped by the DP, so you can get up and punish.
Uhh Iām actually hype for AE? Itās coming with so much content Iām gonna be playing it all day holy shit.
Thatās a given. AE is the FGC equivalent of the second coming of Christ.
What we donāt know is how much better S3.5 will be.
You know the real reason you got bodied is because you keep agreeing to play me
Iām so bad I make everyone around me worse!!!
Devil Jin can confirm
I think a season 3.5 is all but guaranteed IF the balance is still off. Iāve heard some people wonder why so many top tiers got away unscathed. What I feel Capcom are doing is because they know the meta is going to shift away from full-on aggression with these across the board changes, they want to see how things shake out. Sure Rashid is gross right now, but how good is he going to be when he doesnāt get non-stop pressure, throw loops gone and he has to rely more on his meh neutral?
All the ādumbā top-tier shit is gonna feel more diluted when more of the game is gonna be buttonz.
oh no, ill confirm it for you, 3.5 is coming, people will get bored and want more.
More than Abi Iām a bit doubtful about Rashid and Akuma, especially the latter. The hurtboxes/hitboxes fix aināt gonna stop him from jump at you with the demon flips and he could still get you for free with Zanku fireballs. Him and Rashid have 2 +3 oB normals with good range, Iām curious if the throw loop nerf will be enough to limit theirs pressure. If not an update in March/April is a possibility.
thought about this myself. Gonna lab it of course when AE drops, but i had similar thoughts myself.
you are supposed to be able to throw another ground fireball while you lose an air fb though. Hopefully they didnt change any frame adv after vt dp.
Iām just playing the shit out of tekken right now before AE comes cause I know I wonāt play Tekken 7 as much after it launches.
I can see another 3.5 happening
weāll see how the early CPT season kicks off, Iām not against characters like Abigail being strong but dear lord he got some extra special treatment in those patchnotes for a character I thought was pretty damn good as he was.
