“Baroque is less potent”
I don’t have the link with me, but there was one match where Tekkaman had around 30% Baroque meter, and he killed off one character in less than six seconds (the character had full health).
So yeah, less power.
lol.
It can only be good. Not only can you use shoulder tackle-baroque to get in on projectile spammers, you also take no damage while you’re doing it. That sounds pretty good to me. Well so long as it doesn’t push you back.
I don’t know why he’s getting so much buffs either. I don’t think Capcom would be so dense as to not realise that people are actually playing him. He turns up in a lot of japanese tournament matches and stuff.
As for Baroque being less potent, that’s what I was told after one of the loc tests. Apparently it didn’t do as much damage. It might have been changed back for all I know.
That brings up another question. Are their balancing methods being based of Japan’s base or Japan and US’s base?
Maybe it’s just me, but I personally feel that the US tier lists are somewhat more accurate because imo, we have a stronger play to win mentality so we’re a lot more dirty when it comes to abusing shit, hence why soft bans dont work. It’s either get good and abuse broken/OP shit or gtfo.
If that’s the case, then that might explain why certain characters are getting wtf changes because maybe they dont play saki as gay or as potent as us or because no one plays PTX a lot over there or because megaman is a lot better to them then he is to us.
idk, but I question so many changes atm. It’s not even funny.
Lol those are some ignorant comments. Japanese play dirty as hell, trust me.
And they dont compete in a version that has Saki in it.
why’s that?
oh hi neko 
But who plays more dirty? That’s what I’m looking at. I know japanese can do some nasty shit, but I think we do it worst in a general perspective.
idk. I don’t follow the japanese so I probably am pretty fucking ignorant.
And I completely forgot Saki doesnt exist in arcades. I rarely play my console version and I pretty much play against a select group of people who didnt play Saki on console either.
She just one of those characters I forgot existed. Like Damioh.
oh god you.
Why would the US ever hold more credibility? They got stuck at Karas and just quitted =/
That’s what I think based off what I’ve seen and learned really. I’ve learned that the japanese competitive scene is more honor-bounded and entertainment for the crowd is more important than over here.
Because of that, I assume they they’re less inclined to be really dirty.
But just what is playing dirty? Pushing the other player so that he’ll let go the controller and miss the input? =/
XD honor-bound.
Seriously though, honor bound is the most stereotypical view ever seen.
And no, their Karas is way better than US Karas, but even that they still got anti-Karas players.
What most people would consider “cheap”
Meaning its a perception based thing.
I suppose. Like I said, i dont follow Japan, so I’m ignorant and what I’ve seen and heard is what I know, which is nothing, apparently.
GHNeko…
Go watch some japanese match vids. They’re leagues ahead of us in pretty much every aspect of the game. 9_9 And they play PTX often enough. There are more ptx players in Japan. Over here we have ll.nd and Psychochronic and…me helping out from the sidelines.
I’m pretty sure that Capcom would look at Saki from us players too.
Yeah there’s a couple factors there.
First off, Japanese have a little more character loyalty than americans, and won’t counter pick, ever. Not that they could, anyways, since they only play 1 game in tournaments, which would make trying to counter pick just dumb. In this system, it’s better to just learn one character.
The main difference here, though, is that the Japanese people will actually stick with a game or character and learn to overcome disadvantageous matchups rather than calling bullshit and quitting or switching characters.
So no, it’s not about honor, just logistics and attitudes.
Yeah, it’s really fun to see the different playstyles in Japan vids. While here we’re stuck with lolKaras, they have stuff like keepaways and Roll sweeping your groin.

Found it!
I stand corrected. Mah bad.
Ah yes I remember this :woot:
Wow. Baroque is Baroque. I bet Tekka is the sole reason why they nerfed it. xD
Alex and Polymar are pretty scary with baroque too. Or anyone who can deal good damage in a single combo.
But huge baroque reversals don’t seem to happen often at high level play, because most of the time the opponent can just megacrash it.
