Why is jwong thinking about dropping karin?

most likely because he is not bringing in results with her anymore.

But from a character design perspective, she is strong.

She has mediocre anti airs sure but she makes up for it

Ken’s hair still gonna clip through his outfit in Season 2 at the character select screen, even though Beta 3 (or 4, one of them) had the clipping issue fixed.

Odds are it led to some sort of performance issue and it wasn’t seen as worth it. But the clipping really bugs me on default costumes. On alts it’s fine, because you can’t expect them to go through every conceivable variation and fix everything, but when your default costume clips on the VS screen, that is kind of annoying.

At least Gief doesn’t look awkward as fuck like SFIV Gief. Seriously, I watched some USFIV yesterday and I was shocked by how fucked up Gief’s proportions and animations were. The SFIV running bear grab was the coolest, though.

she is not bad but there are better options to choose, especially when you are a tournament player.
so considering to move on from a char when you notice you dont manage to win anymore while you might have a chance with others isnt such a strange thing to do.

char loyality is nice but as you can see with xian it doesnt bring you far when its the “wrong one”…

edit- in a game in which you can loose 1/3 or more hp from a jumpin…aa are kinda important.

Why is jwong thinking about dropping karin?

Because he thinks Chun is the real shit.

[Memorycard]

I hope he doesn’t drop her…I don’t want to see another Chun.

[Kecka]

Why does Cammy’s V-Trigger deal almost as much damage as Gief’s when hers is only two bars?

[DevilJin_01]

Problem with him picking up Chun is the learning curve to optimize her is going to be too large for him I think. If he’s dropping Karin’s non optimal stuff, I don’t want him to be a drop fest with all of Chun’s stuff. Chun does fit his style though and I’m sure he loves those new age 3S buttons. Just don’t want to see the issues he had with Karin hurt him even more with Chun.

Better off just playing Cammy who’s better than Karin any way. When it comes to sponsored tournament play these days, even if the character someone is playing is pretty good and the character balance isn’t terrible, the grass being a little greener always attracts them.

For the first time I’m genuinely feeling like I might have to switch from Bison permanently. Like, there was always the issue of being bullied because he doesn’t have a 3 frame normal or a reversal, but you can work around that. Right now it’s starting to feel like there is a specific range that when your opponent figures it out, they can just jump on me for free all day. I got matched up with the same Laura three times, and I got bodied for free every single one. I was beating him in neutral, but as soon as he got in and started jumping within that deathzone, I was just fucked. Not a single version of jumping MP worked due to Bison’s weird semi-floaty jump. He was too close for cr. HP or st. MK. Headstomp only works if you pre-empt his jumping attack. I even tried AA jabs, but Bison doesn’t have those. So all I could do was block and pray my V-Reversal hit.

I’m in the same boat as you I think.I’ll have matches with him where I think I got it, and then I’ll run into a playstyle/MU that makes me think why does he so helpless in a lot of situation lol. I played a Ryu who just jMK from this one range where cHP whiffed and no number of jLP will deter someone lol. I like how he is in this game, but I figure he’ll get a big overhaul come season 2 and the. I might end up not liking him lol…

@“Evil Canadian” sorry if I sounded like a downer yesterday. 5 has had me on almost auto til past few days. Made worse with the now actual character crisis lol…One of the things that got me a lot, was Ex roll into sLK.Is there a situation where roll is +?

It’s sad that they let Kokonoe and the other S+tiers just run amuck for a year. In anime games playing a good neutral game alone doesn’t help great vs really OP characters. Which means you really don’t get to have much fun if they’re too good. You’re going to be dealing with BS constantly in the neutral and when they get in.

I wasn’t referring to Kokonoe. I was talking about BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger which featured Nu-13, Rachel and Arakune completely steamrolling every other character in the game. ASW let that rock/kill their game for a year before toning down Nu-13 and Arakune and nerfing Rachel into dust. How many players do you think dropped that game when faced with the choice of join 'em or lose (badly) to 'em? How many more people (namely the Nu, Arakune and Rachel players) do you think dropped the game when not only was their character no longer good but also no longer fun?

I refuse to get myself excited for Injustice 2. I’m worried it’ll be patched more than necessary.

I really don’t get NRS sometimes. They definitely over-patched MK9 but I felt like overall that they didn’t go berserk with the patches for Injustice 1 (disclaimer: I did not play Superman in Injustice 1). Then MKX rolls around and it’s patch after patch after patch. I had kind of thought that they had learned between their approaches to MK9 and Injustice 1 which approach was better but apparently not. Now, am I a fan of once a year (or more) updating? Nope. IMO a year is too much time to invest into a character only to see that character get ruined or changed dramatically. I would also say that a year is too long to let something truly OP run wild on your game. For example IMO BlazBlue would have a much larger player base today if, once it became obvious that the first iteration of the game had three S+ tier characters, it had received an update to correct that problem sooner than it did. As it was the game got stuck with “not Guilty Gear” and “broken mess” labels that seem to have permanently relegated it to niche status.

I think it depends on what is making the top tier characters top tier. Obviously broken or unintended stuff like infinites, meter glitches, moves that just don’t work, or missing hurt-/hitboxes should be patched out the second it’s possible. But if some characters are just better, that’s not so bad. Pre-patching we just had to live with it. Third Strike is kind of busted on a competitive level and Garou has infinites, but they’re still great games.

Here’s the thing, I’d be fine if we were to get something along the lines of:
Patch Notes:
-Fixed model clipping issues
-Adjusted BGM on _______ stage(s)
-Improved load times
-No gameplay changes

If we got the above every six months and the game legitimately didn’t need any gameplay changes (i.e. any change would just be for changes sake) I would be totally cool with that. What I’m not fine with is if a problem does arise being told to wait a year or more for it to maybe be fixed (this could be balance related or it could be bug related). I am also not OK with some of the more heavy handed attempts at balance/appeasement that modern fighting games seem to be seeing more and more of.

[DevilJin_01]

Ah ok. Yeah the Nu Rachel stuff in the original game was pretty bad. Plus back then generally Blazblue was just thought of as easy mode Guilty Gear.

[LoyalSol]

CT Nu vs CT Tager…that was a slaughter.

[PVL_93_RU]

So @Kecka about that FT10…

Bug fixes we should probably get more than once a year. But balancing once a year seems fine to me. Changing the meta every three months can also destroy a game competitively.

Your CFN name fits you.

I swear sometimes it feels like I press block and the game doesn’t register it in time

I didn’t know you and Spooky were friends

CT Nu vs CT Tager…that was a slaughter.

I remember those days all too well. BB: CT was my first serious fighting game and I picked up Tager because he was the only grappler and had the lowest execution requirements. No one told me he was trash tier so I stuck it out with him until the local arcade got rid of the CT cabinet. Whenever I catch myself wanting to bitch about a matchup in SFV, I just remind myself of those bad old days. Sad thing was, Nu wasn’t even his worst matchup. Bad as Nu was, Arakune and Carl were much, much worse.
