I feel your pain. I know like 2 people too. And they’re 45 mins away. And one stopped playing at CS1, and one after CT.
Beginner mode same-combo-spammers are what really grinds my s**t.
With that being said, if a combo applies to many different circumstances, there’s no reason not to use it.
In my case the combos spammed were both easily blockable and punishable, which made spamming them a waste of time. I was pretty vague in my post though, thanks for pointing it out.
It’s all right, don’t worry about it. I mean hey, if you can get away with mashing Inferno Divider, and only Inferno Divider and win all of your matches, someone would be a fool not to.
I dont understand, this game isn’t bad or anything, its pretty fun, why does no one play it. The last match videos on dustloop for ragna were posted in JANUARY.
They don’t play it because it’s “Teh Animez!!” or whatever. And while I think that’s a stupid reason, I’ll admittedly be the first person to say that then Platinum was revealed as she was, I felt that she was totally out of place, and still kinda think she is.
People complaining about Ragna? Geez, he’s the only character I can stomach playing.
People complain about him because he’s generally seen as Top of the Tierlist at best, and 2nd from the Top at worst, lol.
Yup. Because he’s probably the easiest character in the game to autopilot wins with. We’re sorry you don’t like the rest of the cast? I guess? (Not really, but confused.)
I don’t think people are salty about Ragna. It’s just about how much they buffed him for no reason. You can genuinely autopilot and win with him. ID alone makes his defensive capabilities incredible as the Axe kick gives him very good Oki to start his amazing pressure game. He gets damage of pretty much every single move, has some of the best (If not the best) normals in the entire game.
AGH.
Nerf Ragna back to CS2. Buff Tsubaki back to CS2, And keep Extend Makoto but just give her more combo routes to allow better corner carry. Give Relius’ minor normal move buffs, Stop Platinum sucking and then give Jin a purpose again. Perfect game.
The thing about Jin I find is that, yeah he’s a solid character that people can do well with but…he’s just really not fun to play at all, if that makes sense. And he really used to kinda be.
Is Platinum actually that bad? Mr. Xie seems to do fine with her. Admittedly, I don’t see many videos of her from Japan, but I also haven’t seen anyone saying she should be in Q-tier with Makoto and Tsubaki either. Heck, the current JBBS List (which should not be regarded as canon, but hey.) has her in A-tier rather than in the generic “everyone else” in B-tier.
Jin + even a small input lag = frustration
I’d say she isn’t bad but just annoying in the way she sticks out of the roster. Plus the double cat’s head -slams were frustrating in CSII.
Platinum just doesn’t have much going for her. Swallow moon can be disrespected so much and the only way she can score big damage is if you fuck up big time.
Yeah, as Verimeloni said, my problem with Platinum isn’t her tier placement, it’s just that as a character herself she just seems to stick out from the rest of the roster and doesn’t seem to fit in.
Swallow Moon is still an option most characters don’t have - it’s not the entirity of her mixup by any stretch; Her overhead is pretty fast and leaves her crazy plus if spaced right and “tk” frying pan is like a 16 frame overhead. And all of it leads into good damage. Not ‘explosive OMG RagnaValk damage’ but solid. She’s reasonably capable, just not a standout.
If your opponent isn’t a dribbling retard then Platinum has it pretty hard. She has truckloads of gimmicks. But the fact her outcome is somewhat decided on pure luck (Her Drive) is such a kick in the teeth.
She’s got pretty good combos and her DDs are good too, even if they have to be comboed for them to reliable connect. Goofing around with Platinum’s drive is a tricky situation to the opponent too, like with Carl: they have to keep an eye on the Nirvana as well. Same goes for Platinum’s different items.
If you don’t press buttons she will rarely hit you. And swallow moon mixup gets blown the hell up by Bangs 2D. That gives me roughly 3K damage just for her trying to mix up.
She sucks, And her DD’s are good, sure. But they only shine in combos.
