That doesn’t make any sense. It takes skill and knowledge of how to win in order to play every character, not just Saki. When talking about whether a character is good or not, you don’t take character difficulty into account, only what the net result is in the end if you assume the player is able to use them at the level that any person who seriously mains that character will use them at.
Karas ain’t exactly braindead easy to play in TVC:CGH either. Most noobs who pick Karas make a few mistakes or don’t know how to use his rekkas and get slaughtered.
Also you’re condemning half the cast, most of those characters you listed are very strong and easy to use, not to mention fun. What the hell.
Uhhh…whatever. Played both of those games, liked SF2, hated Marvel. Not that that’s relevant.
Chances are I’m better than you at this game. Not that that’s relevant.
Here was my point: I enjoyed getting beasted on by karas bullshit at SBO qualifiers here in Japan, because I felt like I was learning and figuring out how to get around it. Playing against saki made the game no longer fun for me because she has so much bullshit that if you’re playing anyone other than maybe ken (teleports, dumbass projectiles), you get 90% of your game kneecapped right away. With most of the cast, you have to out-think Saki by a huge margin to even get in on her. I’m not saying she should be banned or some shit, I was just explaining why “she should be fast like Karas, and shoot quicker than megaman” was a silly thing to say.
I Advance Guard everything Saki does, I find that to be an amazing help. If you advance block the grenades and the beam blast the knockback gets reduced almost to zero.
Still, unblockable Hyper is really amazing in terms of inescapability. And the grenades are still annoying.
Sure it reduces the stun, but the laser was pretty much worthless in the first place, and the grenades still have that awesome arc on them. You can reduce the knockback and stun, but you still can’t get in anyways.
Saki needs just a moment to set up and then she becomes very, very annoying. Generally you feel like you’re meant to get in on her when she reloads, but she can just cover that with an assist half of the time. If you try to commit to projectiles of your own, her C shot is faster than most stuff and goes full screen very quickly.
Thing is, by the time you pushblock her grenades, she can already move again.
lol. i didn’t say she “should be”, i just said it would be interesting to play with her if she was liek that, but then everyone would play her and the game would suck anyways. not that i’m not interested in a character that’s good for controlling space, since Doronjo and Ken are interesting to me. despite that, i don’t plan on maining with either. most liekly gonna b a mix with cashern/karas/blade for me. I want some upclose comboing and good speed mhm.
btw, you coulda not responded to that guy. lol. he coulda liekly been plain out trollan. you were at SBO qualifiers playing the ppl who are liekly to be the best at the japanese version, not justin wong, marn, or any other “karas vs. capcom” kinda person liek the guy spoke liek u were. new gai posts outta nowhere liek ur a noob when u been in this thread+playing the game for idk how long. fuhget about it! lol.
He didn’t say that she was the cheapest or MOST broken (cause a lotta shit is broken in TvC, lets not kid ourselves here), she’s just mad fucking boring and stupid.
Like, shes pretty much the exact character design i like, cute girl with a gun, but like, lets be honest here, 1 bar to make her C an unblockable missle. Really?
Yeah she might not be as high of a tier as Karas or Ryu or Chun, but she’s a lot more boring to play as and against. TvC has way way cooler things in it, but Saki is just boring, and her way of getting damage is just super . Doesn’t have anything to do with cheapest or most broken.
This is getting way off topic now. We should keep this discussion in the Saki thread or make another thread.
Also just to inform most of you. Saki has a huge space in which she cannot cover. Either with supers, grenades, charged shots, or reg. shots. Once you figure out where this space is she is fairly easy to defeat. But also adds to the depth if you are playing her and trying to keep people out of that area. And Rock is 110x more annoying then Saki could ever be. IMO.
Yeah seriously, the thread had a nice joke potential (unfortunately the TvC fanbase isn’t as big as other games, therefore, other backstories won’t appear after a few more posts anyways) but seems like this is now a “Let’s talk about how lol “broken” is Saki” thread.
I don’t want to derail the thread more, but I have to say that is a funny thing is that I don’t find anything broken about her, personally I think she was somewhat decent in terms of power level (nothing extremely crazy or unfair), underrated as well since she was just a console exclusive character, now she will be playable more seriously online so we will be able to see how effective she is against the rest of cast. Yeah, her unblockeable shot is a horrible joke, but she still has flaws that are heavily punishable, she is not extremely powerful in the damage department (without considering the unblockeable super) and has normal health as well, she is far from being “broken”.
In any case, a history about someone who wanted to use Hakushon would be a great novel, just think about all the drama that could exist.
I never said that she was fun to play as or against, I somewhat can understand what you mean when you say that she is not fun as other character, I also can see people only using her unblockeable shot as a way to win online, I bet it will even become a flowchart in the future.
“Did I hit?”
“Yes” “No”
“UNBLOCKEABLE SUPER”
But I like her as character so everything is okay so far. I bet there is also some people that enjoy using her, I wouldn’t be surprise if there are more then just one Saki player.
This would be funny if it weren’t actually one of the best ways to play her. Just zone with grenades and electric shots until you’ve got some bars and then charge up that unblockable super. Keep zoning, shoot them with unblockable super, do the little combo off of it, charge that super again while they get up. Rinse and repeat.
. Doesn’t have anything to do with cheapest or most broken.
