What are you talking about? It’s one of the coolest stages. And if you’re talking about the music (Which I personally like), USFIV has new themes for the SFxT stages.
I think, if anything, instead of balancing by lowering the damage, they could increase the amount of rage you need to build up your revenge meter if you pick double ultra. I think it’s more fair that if I pick one ultra I can access it easier than someone who picked both.
It’s got more to do with the fact that SFXT stages looked like PC mods in that one location test.
Its because of how foggy and blurry the stages are. They just look wrong
The Xtekken stages look like shit. And red focus should be hp and Hk with taunt being moved to the select button. Lp, mp, and MK sucks.
Have you tried it yet? I was at the Osaka test this morning and I found it fairly intuitive and never missed it.
Interesting thing is hardly any people are using red focus yet. I guess they’re waiting to see what the pros do with it first.
whew. ok. if they changed the music then cool. if its anything like that xT music i’ll jam pencils in my ears
Red focus, like DWU is designed specifically as a quick and dirty fix to a complicated to solve problem. They may want to sell RF as a tool to buff charge characters but the fact is I’m pretty sure it was the best way they could see to fix 4 button teching which has become a huge problem at high level play. Thus they wont make RF be HP+HK. Also that would quite literally fuck over Cody because he’d either lose the ability to feint badstone once he has meter, or you’d have to reach over the stick to the select button to feint badstone. It would be less of an FU but still an issue for Dudley and Dan though. However Cody would def get fucked left and right from that change. As it is, Cody can’t red focus while charging EX Zonk now.
4 button tech will still be in as long as you don’t have 2 bars. That’s a miss if they were aiming to kill that
Yeah I know that but it is still a decent way to remove it from the majority of matches. The idea is that having 2 bars you’ve lost both 4 button tech and lost DP FADC safety net meaning that you need to be using meter a lot for offense because building it up for defense is no longer as good an idea.
Really, it seems heavily targeted as a fuck you to Gen.
I “love” how much they nerfed Gen and Rufus. Yeah… tournament results had nothing to do with that. 
I kinda felt like they both got buffed actually. Team EG likes his buffs at least.
Really? Rufus buffed?
Other than far MP being special cancelable and EX Messiah fixed vs crouching the rest are pretty hefty nerfs or very very situational buffs IMO.
do we know what happen if we use the macros for throw+focus to tech throw-focus instead of 4 buttons ? does the RF comes out ? am supposing it has a higher priority than both
wow… PitStop, really? i hoped for Cosmic Elevator…
oh well, on PC i’m gonna replace all the SFxT stages with the 2 Bonus stages, Morning Dinner and some other one

IDK; half pipe is pretty groovy.
the far mp buff and more active frames on far mk and ex messiah not going over are all pretty big buffs. gives better footsies and a better reversal
but yeah thats a long list of losses. however if the 2 best rufuses (rufi?) say, yay!, theyre happy, then who am i to disagree
The vast majority of matches at EVO 2013 and Canada Cup 2013 ended in KO. It is not a problem in version 2013.
Just because they ended in KO does not mean time wasn’t a factor. A lot of them you could visibly see one player having to hurry around 20-28 seconds because he needed to make something happen or else get timed out.
The timer is still way too fast in that game.
First of all, I didn’t say general mix ups, I said mindless wake up games. Second give me an example of a brain dead jump in vortex in 3s or cvs2? 3s had parry, get parried and blown up on your jump in dive kick. cvs2 was a footsie game, not a jump around your wake up and win game…
Red Focus is gonna be awkward as hell to me as a pad user.
