A lot of what @Highlandfireball rings true and can directly apply to a conversation I was having with a Cammy player at a local the other night:
We all know Cammy has great walk-in pressure, and strong/quick heavy buttons. I was having a lot of trouble with his counterhit/shimmy game and he literally told me, “If you block a medium punch, don’t press another button until you see me press my fierce.”
And that makes a lot of sense in retrospect. Sure, I may get a counterhit, or tech a throw, but the risk-reward is extremely skewed in Cammy’s favor if I do anything other than block. And blocking will reset the situation back to neutral when that inevitable fp comes. I think the key to defense in this game is recognizing those points where you face limited risk in responding to what the other player is doing.
revival is organized through discord, not a lot of people playing ranked or open endless, a lot of people you can ask to run sets, or people hosting tournaments.
there are two mini online tournaments a week on pc that i know of.
If you got a reversal char that’s exactly when you reverse, don’t let them dominate the mindspace they can get away with that shit for free. I’ll gladly eat a combo(although that kind of player will ususally eat 2 reversals before they smarten up) for them to then have it in their head I am willing to do it and then all of a sudden the pressure gets lessened because they are waiting on you to react.
Course say you got no reversal and are someone oh I dunno lets pick a random character VEGA then you just gotta eat shit and downback til the bad man stops.
“These additional balance changes and the next Season 2 DLC character were originally planned to launch at the end of April. Since both of these were developed under the new CFN infrastructure, they have to release alongside the new CFN when it is ready.”
Ah ok so it’s like a competitive player get together thing.
I’ll probably just ask random people to play it if I’m bored sometime. That’s the same thing I have to do to play a fightcade game, so probably just stick to 3S and A2 revivals.
sf4 woulda died only a year and change ago on ps4, easier to ressurect
vs dying on pc like 40000 years ago cause games that aren’t counterstrike or league or shit like that have a shelf life of 2 weeks on pc
Just when you think this stupid ass company can’t fuck up anymore, they just go and completely out do themselves. I mean holy shit this is comical at this point.
It’s like “nah, there is no way they can keep fucking up so bad … oh wait, yes they can, it’s Capcom!”
Well, sort of. On the flip side you can still get games of Age of Empires II on PC, /shrug.
In other news, what the actual fuck the balance patch is “tied to the new CFN”? More like “it costs us money to push out an additional patch”, #justtellusthefuckingtruth
You see Byron can’t do his sonic knee move without checking back to the servers so the cloud can power up his knee as it moves forward, to put him out without the seemingly fully unrelated online matchmaking changes is just impossible!!!
