I don’t get why they allow you to see what your opponent chooses before you choose your characters when you are playing online. This allows the person to choose the best matchup against your opponent’s characters.
Anyone else think this is cheap?
The games only been out for one week. Nobody knows any match-ups yet, so it doesn’t even matter.
Blind picks woulda been nice. At least for ranked.
Happens in tournaments. It’s not nice, but learn your matchups.
On an offnote, I f’in love matchups. I think they’re the spice of SF, and the reason why it beats most other competitions like CoD and dumb stuff like that. I’ll play the same char or team against anyone. If I were you, I’d just hit the lab and stuff.
I do agree with you for online play, though. Just to troll, when you see someone do this, wait back. Forever.
I always pick Filia, so no fucks given
Cheap is being able to deselect characters at the character select screen.
Fuck the XBL port of SF2: Hyper Fighting.
they got that idea from MvC2 online /salt
Get used to it, gets you ready for tournaments.
Aint gonna lie I counterpick like a motherfucker in games and I intend to in this game also.
i never give a fuck since i dont care to learn extra characters just to overcome a bad matchup. id rather just learn my real character better.
one thing that sometimes gets me though is if the opp then chooses the same character as you after youve beasted them (talking ssf4 here), unless it is genuinely one of their mains of course.
Guessing blind picks were an oversight/low priority for ranked
Gotta admit that I exploit this to a degree; if I see the other guy is running Solocock I use Egret Charge instead of Napalm Pillar. Other than that… Meh. It’s not like I can use anyone other than Peacock.
I actually like the fact that you can see the other’s characters. except for the fact it sometimes leads to slow character selection. I don’t counterpick characters, but I counterpick assists. (before I also did 1 char/2 char depending on how well i know the matchup/ to get more games in for 1v1) but now I don’t anymore so I don’t get (as much) stalling on character select…
what I DO hate though is that people can RQ before the match even starts. Which I don’t mind most of the time because I get to move on to another player faster. but when I choose between 1/2 characters when the game just came out. I like to see if they choose 1 or 2 first /which characters they’ll choose. and they’ll stall to the last second and then RQ. instead of waiting till time runs out for a blindpick… =/
ninja’d… but yeah…
that’s basically what I do now. except my assist change is very subtle and I don’t even think most people would even notice. (I think that actually I’m winning a few games because they don’t know it’s a different assist rather than it actually helping) but it still does help
I’ve had it happen a few times. I just shrug and play my match. They are just doing what they feel they gotta do to win and i respect that.
