The Street Fighter 3poxy Strike: Everybody at home but SF5 doesn't have Netcode

The game being compatible with the upcoming new Xbox and being delayed to the same time as the console gets released more or less raises a few questions though.

I do wonder if they struck a deal with Microsoft.

Regardless,it’s just 2 months but when you think it initially was to be released in April of 2020 you can’t not be a bit salty. Oh well, if delayed video games are my biggest issue in life i will consider myself happy.

Late response time!
Tekken’s character usage seems really varied to me because the “shotos” of the game, the mishimas, are really hard to use if you aren’t already past the novice stage of the game, and even then are still ,iirc, pretty damn hard to use.

Most 2D fighter’s main characters are usually straight forward and have decent tools to do everything, because they know that a new person picking up the game is going to want to try the person on the box.

I like her model no joke. But it seems she is untextured and most likely no bone rig , but i can do that myself.

What kind of content do you want to see though ? Custom wallpaper for Cipher ?

I’m not really sure how accurate that is considering Kazuya is one of the most picked characters online (second to Paul iirc), and he’s usually played like this:

Thanks

I was asking now something of an opposite like a gameplay mechanics that is punishable for noobs, that would make them hate and quit.

besides from infinite, stun mechanic and execution.

I have a new analogy.
Mortal Kombat is the clickbait of fighting games

Just a thought. I know you were thinking of learning guitar but stopped when you finished your book (or something like that).

You ever think of playing bass?

In my opinion, it’s easier to get into but still very hard to master. I also think it’s got a gentler learning curve in the beginning.

You have to love the instrument to want to learn it of course, but you seem to dig this chick at least (assuming it’s the same girl you’ve posted before).

Bass in metal may not be as prominent as it may be in other genres of course, but it’s definitely present and there are some great metal bassists once your ears get better at differentiating the bass from the lead/rhythm guitars.

Play bass??? You want me to be the butt of every joke like this guy???:

Well, I want to shred lol. But yeah, bass should be easier to get into. I still need more help differentiating bass from rhythm guitar. Know of vids I can watch?

That first video had cracking up lol.

It’s hard to differentiate for most people unless it’s a very noticeable/iconic part. You get better at it once you become a player (not just bass but guitar as well) and your ears just kinda get better at listening and dissecting all of the various instruments and what they’re doing. Trying to learn the bass parts from a song by ear helps, but obviously, you wouldn’t do that yet…

The best way is probably look up bass covers on YouTube for some of your favourite songs (from good players) so you can see all the bass is doing and since you know the song already, it’ll be easier to relate it.

It may also be worthwhile to look at concert footage of your favourite bands, isolate the bass player, and try to pay attention to their hands and listen carefully (with head phones) and try to follow along, and hear what they’re playing.

I’m not into a lot of metal tbh, but some bassists EQ/play in ways that make them more audible in the mix. To me these are Iron Maiden (Steve Harris), Tool (any bassist really), Pantera, and maybe Black Sabbath, though I understand they aren’t thrash. Ghost BC usually has good, prominent bassists as well, but it’s certainly not very heavy… I think “From the Pinnacle to the Pit” is their heaviest song, and that intro (bass) is awesome. Cannibal Corpse also has a great bassist (though I’m not their biggest fan).

Also, if they’re just chugging along to the guitars, you won’t really be able to identify it, as it will just give a deeper foundation to the guitars sound.

A lot of thrash bassists also overdrive their tone so much it would sound thin and get kinda lost in the mix. Also, in a lot of new metal (from what I’ve seen), some guitarists are downtuning their guitars to oblivion, getting right into the bassist’s range, taking up their space too, which makes it harder to differentiate as well.

Finally, some bass players in metal overplay. The bass is harder to hear naturally (and in my opinion, is meant to be more of a rhythmic tool that gives a deeper foundation for the melodic instruments). When a bass player is just playing fast 16th note runs, it gets buried as well. The bass players, to me, that stand out, are the ones that emphasis the rhythm. In bass especially, what you don’t play, is sometimes more important than what you do. I love rhythm, and that’s why I play bass.

Thanks for the pointers. I am gonna check out bass covers on youtube, it’s a good idea!! :+1:

@PlusFrames oh, and it’s not the same girl. This newer pic is a woman named Jo-Anne Bench, she used to play in a well known UK band called Bolt Thrower. Small but cute but can play a mean bass.

Guilty Gear has to have the most healthy yet confusing family in fighting games.

Ironic, I went back to 2.3 because 2.4 had crazy visual glitches that made Pokémon Stadium 2 unplayable for me.

But yeah, PJ64 is still on active development. It’s really cool.

Maybe different games need different versions? Lol. I don’t know. I only tried to run KI Gold last night.

Nah, it was just a temporary regression, someone must’ve fucked up.

2.3 worked well though, so I didn’t bother updating after that. :rofl:
