The System Mechanics Thread

Nah, I’ll stick around posting dumb shit too, it’s fun. I also don’t need to list examples to prove myself right as one can just take a look around in any thread.

We drama now.

I hope this makes you all as happy as it makes me

Someone played online and lost and is now super pissed.

Who are these people? I don’t think I saw anyone say his post was bad. Unless this happened in a page before this one Idk what you’re talking about. Can’t help but reply to you because I did just defend myself.

Yomi: I’d understand voicing an opinion on either side but against the whole? You are definitely a lot more bored than any of us. I don’t post stupid shit, I post bullshit.

Ryan: Stop picking Chun.

Tele: keep doing what you’re doing but like I said, expect scrutiny. Just don’t go thinking that every thing I post is against you, sometimes the explanations just need to be worded differently. And I think it can be noted often times a lot of people CHOOSE video games over any other kind of competitive activity because they lack the social skills. Myself included, I guess.

Donation drives making news.

Which one of you young guys are at least over 21 and would want to chill in Vegas with these old guys. Or I just wish more of you could meetup face to face. Or we can talk about ways to get to Japan, where young people may have more options on that front for different reasons. Pretty cool Dankah and Jul1an were both the same age over there. Were they of legal drinking age I don’t even know, maybe not, they still could’ve anyway!

yomi your bitchass mongolian money from nowhere probably doesn’t equal anything so don’t bother. You better ask Sirlin how to make some money. That’s one thing we can admit he knows. Don’t cry about Sirlin here right now either. You can make your own thread with fun cool content like that, (why don’t you? what are you holding back?), and we can all enjoy it over there! Where are you from, why didn’t you cheer for anybody in the European Qualifiers or have any news from that side of the world. Internet Tough guy = more like crybaby in public. Like when you were mad you couldn’t play for a long time and then it was fixed then you stopped being all mad!! That’s pretty human and understandable but you could still work on that. I hope you get to play 3rd Strike on better terms too, sooner rather than later.

Dander’s pretty cool. I don’t understand the slights and your misunderstandings of otherpeople so backtrack & clean that up too ya know, apologize for things coming off wrong if you didn’t intend that, really. Or maybe not say some stuff in your head sometimes, saying it so fast on the forums like passive aggressive and it sounds myspace/facebook bitchy. Repurcussions and empathy for their side too. Maybe you do like Telesniper and want him to grow, you keep see-saw’ing with that… I don’t know. We’re not out to get you if we just don’t understand right away or where you’re coming from.

I don’t care that I’m not your favorite person but that doesn’t mean I don’t care in general. I chose tsundere as the descript for a reason. It’s possible to enjoy 3s online just like you would offline but that requires a deeper understanding the games mechanics. Knowledge like that will generally bolster one’s ego. I’m not you saying you do this, tele, you really don’t but sometimes you forget the politically correct nature of a lot of these discussions and how inhibitions of those sort will lead to many uninformed individuals. I’m not about leaving people uninformed of their options despite where the general consensus might lead a person. Often times I just don’t want to backtrack and delete something I’ve already said because it shouldn’t take all that effort to let you know that I"m here to help. I’ve been on these forums ever since my old ffa days simply because I wanted the online communities to know how the offline communities thought. I knew there was a merger to come, I just didn’t expect oe to be so shitty. I wasn’t as active as some of the other members then but I also didn’t repeat myself.

As for the circle jerk comments, I don’t like tyrants or the idea of one and I don’t like the idea of a council of representatives preaching something that they themselves refuse to adhere to. If I call a scrub a scrub and it sounds mean because I didn’t add a smiley face it isn’t necessarily mean. It’s probably because he is a scrub. I can say that. I don’t win tournaments but that’s only because I don’t give a shit about that kind of notoriety. I can play every single character in this at a mid-high level and can play my best characters at a top level. I can dissect Japanese play and even predict match outcomes based on subtle moments in play. If that’s not mastery than I obviously do live in another world. Or maybe I’m that mind over matter kind of individual. (that was sarcasm, I am that kind of individual)

You mother fuckers are keeping me from my homework goddamnit

The people that are abusing lag tactics will most likely never see my posts, or the videos included. They may look at this forum occasionally, but I doubt that more than a few visit this particular thread. Those types of people aren’t interested in the inner workings of the game; they don’t want to learn anything new in their current state. It can be annoying, but no amount of complaining or bickering is going to change that. For them to change, either they’ll have to come to terms with the fact that what they are doing wouldn’t work under ideal conditions (most of the time, for reference, see Kuroda’s Elena vs Nuki…), or they’ll need to be beaten into submission. Those that won’t change are lost causes, essentially what I’m saying is people just need to stop giving a shit about those people that frustrate them, it isn’t helping and whoever posts about it is putting more effort into complaining than it took the online trolls to annoy you.

No one is hiding, there’s no circle jerk, no conspiracies and no, tinfoil hats aren’t necessary.

It wasn’t directed wholly at you, no. I have the means to record video, so why shouldn’t I make it easier for those that learn more efficiently that way? I’m new here so I tried making my posts about the Chun double as clear as I could make them at the time, but there were only like a dozen or so people that had landed it at that point. 240p OE quality wasn’t helping either so I made a better video. Hopefully it’ll help. Also showing input display can more easily show that I am inputting what I say I’m inputting; I’d rather use that, than have some people doubt what I’m saying. So I guess my efforts towards avoiding scrutiny, caused them to get scrutinized?.. Awesome…

Also, “supporters”, really? I didn’t go around asking people to jump on you, I stated my feelings and left. Your opinions will still be viewed more favorably by those that agree with you, but acting that way isn’t going to get more people on “your side”. /tinfoil hat…

Don’t worry, I will.

Logically there should be scrutiny in this thread, that’s the main point to it. There should be questions and answers, scenarios and theories, statements and replies. What shouldn’t be here, is advice based around general gameplay, or implications towards someones motivations behind posting information. Personally? I chose video games because I royally messed up my knee, I used to do nothing but sports. I can only hope to be half as good in 3S as I was in Basketball.

I really have no problem with you, I don’t know you. The only other spat between us that I recall was the wake-up throw misunderstanding we had.

Progression is good, but progression too fast is bad? Having information out there for everyone to absorb is the right thing. Withholding it because there might be some people that will misuse/misinterpret that info isn’t.

I was a bit too riled up to actually thank you for putting your explanation of the dashing weirdness. So thank you, I don’t know if it has anything to do with bars filling up, but I definitely need to do more testing as it just seems weird if this phenomenon only effects dashing…

BTW, this dash weirdness could be used offline in a scenario such as… Hit a button and hold it, walk back and forth, then input df-back, then quickly forward, if timed correct, there won’t be the hesitation of a back dash, there won’t be that pixel shift forwards as you have to hit towards twice to dash (which can eliminate something like getting caught at the end of the dash with Chun cr.Fwd). Your opponent might see the crouch as a parry attempt, then you walk back a few pixels, barely out of range, opponent counters, then you dash punish. The timing is a bit tight, but it would look sick. Or at least it does in my head… /theory nonsense

To everyone else, thanks for the kind words. Now back to your regularly scheduled 3S programming… that’s a bad pun :sweat:

EDIT: Figured this picture is appropriate…

There goes my “I would pay to watch 3s players play basketball (team tournament), sorry chain smokers or that would make the game be only as long as a match” idea.

Charity carwash then, Hollywood movie with Snoop & Dr. Dre

Sorry to hear that man. One of the EVO scholarship winners had the same sorta story, he tooted his own horn too much though with “I was one of the most athletic people I’ve ever known,” I looked that up again yesterday. Your commitment has shown thru with all your results.

Creating video is a long arduous process, not everyone can do or you wouldn’t wish re-records and rendering wait time and problems in encoding on anyone if you’ve ever been through it yourself, so there shouldn’t be anymore “lol combovideo” drama which I never fully understood. But I guess I hated on that other guy’s TAS kinda ones, $100 gets 100 tacos. He certainly put in time to understand momentum perhaps, which could make an Elena match be a choreographed jungle, like I think she needs to be played with momentum, a rhythm, or I guess even a kind of dance hah.

A game of Horse could be fun :wink:

I wasn’t the most athletic, but I could argue I was the most dedicated of the playground players. Thanks.

I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, no way. Oh what’s that? While you wait for the rendering to finish, you play some OE and run into something that should go in the video, causing your render essentially useless? That rings a few bells…

Real talk… AlexxShadenk777 made some killer DMC3 videos back when TST was more popular.

:rofl: Good one. It’s true that your bullshit isn’t very dumb no matter how hard it is to read through.
Maybe Yomi is using his remaining powers to try and stabilize this thread by offering himself up as sacrificial lamb. Common enemy unites, or something. lol

Telesniper: Could you explain what you mean with your method of TKD. From the explanation it looks to me like your hitting :f: and :df: between lpx2 and the lk. Is this kinda like the idea of hitting lpx3 to make sure the input gets registered at the right time. So effectively your trying to get 2 toward inputs at the middle portion?

Correct, I’m trying to maximize my chances of getting the towards input to register at the correct point, I don’t know for sure if it help mechanically, but it definitely helps my consistency!

With recent dash/towards input discrepancies, I’m not sure if it’s actually adding that towards input… I’ll do some tests in a bit.

Just checking as I’m unable to test this right now:

I know if Urien does LP Headbutt on wakeup you can interrupt it with a meaty. But you can’t use a meaty to interrupt EX Headbutt on wakeup, right?

pretty sure you can.

All I needed to know then. Thanks.

Anyone know if Hugo can get out of this setup?

No.

:slight_smile:

I had a hard time setting it up to test it on OE but depending on where I was in the air when I got hit by it and such I could reversal do reversal shootdown backbreaker. sometimes that would get grabbed by stungun though. Can’t check now but id guess reversal hammer mountain could work.

cr.FIERCE! lol, I’m serious, it worked. Doing a reversal with any special was stuffed, but cr.Fierce got me out…

EDIT: Ok, tried with Hugo jumping from a little further back… cr.Fierce didn’t get him out… But reversal EX Lariat hit Alex! The timing looks like the same in the video. It’s funny, reversal EX Lariat was stuffed before, but now it was the only way out… Maybe a non-reversal EX Lariat would have worked with the other timing…

TBF ex lariat would be the last thing a hugo would try after suddenly seeing sa3 activate :stuck_out_tongue:

I think SA2 might be a good option? in the slow motion it looks like Hugo has a few frames to do something but i bet it would be really hard to time in a match
