Yea, it was a mess… I went to sleep thinking my pool started at 9:30 AM, woke up early for it to change to 10PM. The problem was they left on site registration open far to long, when I got to the venue Friday the line of folks trying to sign up was ridiculous. Smash GG should help in that regards as well as it is a far better automation tool then Challonge is…
But the Venue was a huge problem, Tourneys being held in hallways and side rooms far away from where all the shit was happening, squeezing so many matches in in such a short period of time in one spot, I played a pool match sandwiched inbetween top 32 MKX and smash games, all had pretty big crowds looking over shoulders… I could barely move. Tokido had a photographer there in our pool and poor girl was pinched against a wall the entire time.
I could handle the shift in pool starting time… the venue was unacceptable, I’m sure they will have it all squared away this time but on GP alone I can’t go this year, hopefully next year I can go knowing that this year went smoothly.
As far as the charge time change is concerned… I thought something was wrong with my game at first… I couldn’t get rush punch to come out consistently, it was really fucking with me.
I’ve adjusted but I almost go to fast now, and I still get special when I am trying to do normals from time to time just because the nature of how I rest on the dpad. It really did nothing but frustrate me.
Out first I thought the charge buffer change was just to prevent execution errors (like getting boom instead of backfist). But given that combo execution’s actually gotten harder with how tiny the window is, it doesn’t make much sense as a quality of life change.
Perhaps the real purpose was to nerf the delayed throw tech OS that RB likes to do with EX headbutt. You can do this with any TKd special but it’s much easier and more effective with up charge moves.
just ignore mobbdeep he doesn’t understand fighting games, but has too high of an opinion of himself to think he can be in the wrong, and he will constantly backtrack or attempt to rationalize his non understanding.
christmas n-groove casuals/tourney from japan, watch some cvs2, it’s a good game. the n-ryu/morg/sagat player who gets on at about 40 mins is mad good. i really really like his ryu
