…Why is this thread not locked yet
Ah, yes.
I see that statement is as applicable to its original target today, as it was back when it was first written.
Which is to say verily so.
Quite sad.
Troll confirmed.
people don’t like things they don’t understand.
the biggest pseudo-truths spread about parry.
#1 Guess parry has no risk involved.
#2 Parries make fireballs useless
#3 Because parry has no “whiff animation”, it’s always safe to do
#4 Parry limits offensive options
On a mid level, these things all seem very true, but why do they seem true? people do not know how to deal with parry, nor do they understand how offense actually works in 3s.
people who play the game seriously know these things do not hold true for the game on the highest level, and people who already have made up their mind about it are not going to change it (nor do they have a reason to, people play what they like, who cares).
every game is going to have things that people will either like or don’t like…philosophically, but it’s really important to note that true “guess parries” happen so infrequently in real high level matches, and are so easy to stop, it really shouldn’t be the main focus of an argument against the game. if you want to argue about yun being bullshit because of genei jin command grab, and chun being bullshit because of well…everything. that’s ok, because those things are actually true. but to try to argue the game is “less skillful” or “less about footsies” because of parry is straight up wrong. 3s is far from perfect, but parry certainly isn’t the reason for that.
After reading this I literally banged my head against my desk several times. I’m debating making this my sig for the ridiculousness of it all.
That people will use somebody else’s well-worded, well-thought-out argument to prove a point? GHASTLY.
Lots of people keen to hate on Viscant. Nobody’s keen on refuting his arguments. Makes you wonder.
Only Nickelback fans should be allowed to make judgments about Nickelback.
Only somebody who worked on the set of Movie X should be allowed to critique Movie X.
Only politicians should be allowed to scrutinize politics or other politicians.
If any of the above three lines sounds idiotic, there’s a reason.
Dr. B’s B-Groove includes an option where, when he hits the ground, he can tap 2P to win the round. Naturally, he’s never had to use it.
I love 3s I played it on xbox live for a while. Too bad microsoft decided to quit online support for the original xbox games. :crybaby:
I have it on dreamcast also.
stop postin on the forums and go practice son so u can not catch mad wreck from my tech just to try and (?) parry
Snake this is Deep Throat, I have some important information to tell you.
you are so fucking cool…
…
If you had a brain, you’d take it out and play with it.
3S is by far my favorite version of rock, paper, scissors.
Right, and since just about every fighter is rock paper scissors, including your favorite one marvel, I guess 3s is your favorite game.
Before you go marvel isn’t rock paper scissors, here’s a simple suggestion. You’re coming in with another character against cable, and he has meter. Obvious idea is that he’s gonna go for a guard break. Do you block it and hope he fucks up? Do you take the shot and assume he won’t expect it and can’t confirm quickly off the hit? Or what about getting caught in mag vortex. Some setups cannot be avoided by sight, you just have to guess if he’s gonna go high/low.
As far as specs goes, arguing with him becomes pointless because even when people give reasons as to why viscants essay is wrong at higher levels, he won’t accept it and will just continue to post the link to the thread, which has become some sort of defensive tick a good amount of srk has developed.
Yes, yes he is.
That’s the first thing you yourself have written on SRK that’s been even remotely worth a damn.
Meh.
It’s a close second behind the original, for me.
3S is rock, paper, scissors, fuck I forget what beats paper, just parry it instead, really.
:clapdos::clapdos::clapdos:
You and Pab make an epic tag-team.
Yeah, try and parry a throw. Looking real smart there, chief.
If your character is coming in against a Cable with meter, its because you fucked up by getting your character killed in the first place. Just like getting dictator stuck in the corner and him having no super in ST. You fucked up and your lack of strategy bit you in the ass. None of the shit you listed is because of a wrong guess, which is what your lame ass game 3S is all about. “OMG HI/LOW/THROW I MUST GUESS NAOWW!!!” Yeah, sadly that is what your favorite game is all about. Unfortunately you fail to realize that since you probably fucking suck at the game to begin with.
Is there something about parry that prevents me from teching a throw if I tap forward or down that I’m missing?
I’m not talking about being put into the situation, I’m talking about handling the situation once you’re in it. You mean to tell me anytime someone lost a character and is about to come in on cable it’s because they suck? Cool, just about everyone in marvel must fucking suck then, including your dumbass.
There seems to be this autism going around SRK about avoiding questions and just spewing out angry shit. And what about magneto? You didn’t answer that. You’re gonna tell me that there is zero guessing involved in blocking vortexes?
Sigh.
Now you’ve done it.
You went and got Pab involved.
There will be blood.
And death by hardbody.
