Agreed. On R/kappa, I just watched a match between Infil and PoongKo and Infil was virtually pressing a button every chance he got. Even if it was to bait the guy or not, just pressing punch or kick or something.
I remember saying the game needed another year on GameFAQs and everyone shat on me for it…now it’s basically the mantra that alot of people rally behind with SFV…
And I was one of the people who was singing praises about it too. But it doesn’t blind me from the problems it has, not even close. That’s why I’m still here talking about SFV, so much hopes and Capcom just keeps messing up.
You really went to the threads in SRK for DOA and Guilty Gear and not FreeStepDodge or Dustloop respectively?
Or that tells you that on some level, some people just want a system to really work with to give the game something. No bullshit is a good thing…but I’m not exactly sure how that means they couldn’t work in something like Parry rather than FADC again…
@Necrotrophic Well you’re free to hate the game man. I just misunderstood your post to mean that the Laura player was “good”, not that he played in a a standard-ish way. Sorry like I said I just got out of surgery, I’m on some pain-meds, guess I misinterpreted your specific wording. I’ll be off now. Not interested in all this self-sustained bitterness (which is completely lacking in any constructive criticism too).
Everyone here will be playing Injustice 2 when that comes out. Mainly because the custom gear load outs will be better than dealing with the lack of whiff punishing and over reliance on shimmying and short block strings in V.
Hopefully when season 1 ends and capcom does the balance changes it’s not just tweaking some frame data but they make some major system changes to the game. But we have to wait for a year and see.
I agree. Yet, if you are playing someone even halfway decent, such as yourself with Chun, and you KNOW Chun just plain has better “buttons” AND you know that if Chun (or Ken) get any kind of frame advantage, you are fucked without V-Reversal (in Laura’s or Bison’s case, among others) you very well be mashing certain normals that appear on paper to be able to counter, whiff counter, stuff, or counter in block, yet in this game, who ever takes the initiative, tends to win.
This is true online and in every damn tournament match I’ve watched with the exception of some Sim mains’ matches.
That’s why you’re seeing it so much. The buttons being pressed. There’s really no way of know what they are pressing, either.
Are they trying to counter poke? Are they trying to mash a reversal? Are they trying to tech or late tech a perceived throw attempt on your part?
You’ll never know, because once you get the advantage in hit or block in this game, all you gotta do is stagger your inputs for your buttons and wail away, especially with Chun, Ken or Cammy, and occasionally throw.
“Eventually they’ll push themselves out of range.”
Okay, fair enough, but goodluck keeping those three out AND getting and keeping some kind of frame advantage against them.
Dash, throw, you miss one throw tech, rinse repeat.
I love how people want to pretend 8 frames of input latency isn’t a big deal, however, it most effects characters with no grounded 3 frame normal. Which is almost half the cast.
The entire game will feel strangely the same and yet completely new if and when they fix the input lag (including taking away any work around for PC players to desync and get advantage and taking away the legacy controller advantage on PS4.
Mark my words, fools will be like,
“Damn this shit feels different.”
