Let's discuss! Tatsu's point of view about the raging about the game and the new characters on Capcom's stream I still think the game has lots of problems, more than other Capcom games, but I agree with most of his arguments. EDIT: they were playing SFxT, not anymore =/

i very much think its a good game to play. the only thing the game needs imo is timer freeze on supers and pandora. people compain about timeouts and running the clock, so why not give people tools to deal with lamers? though the real big problem with the game is that no one even wants to give it a chance. what reason would they have to?

i remember one time art talking about how no one plays the game, and how he hinted that hes training secret because he thinks its gonna be easy money. despite what people think of the game, it is an evo game. come july, i think it'll be quite interesting for people that geniunely like sfxt. all i can really hope for is that evo does things right and actually gets good commentators on stream.

Welcome to the world of... every 2D fighter not made by Capcom.

Still kicking myself for buying the CE day one.

Not alone, man. Not alone. I had fun, but I sure didn't need that CE.

[Tizoc]

I was playing with my friend a few hours ago and he was doing some pretty impressive 400-ish damage combos with 1 meter.
I think that is what players need to find for their characters; useful combos.
Add to that mix-ups and setups that could lead to big damage.
We didn't have any timeouts either BTW, there were rounds where he would beat me within 20-30 counts of the timer.

This is why Chris G's team is so good. One SRK move tagged into Xiao's kick loop does insane damage for 1 bar. It's like SF4 Ryu's SRK FADC ultra, except it costs only 1 bar (that you nearly re-build anyways) and you can do it any time you want.

[Nnamz]

I dunno if anyone has seen this (or if it has been posted in this massive thread yet) but they showed a video outlining the Vita exclusive features of the game.

Thinking about getting back into this tomorrow. I was previously training with Lili and Julia and I think I'm going to continue with them and see how far I get. :)

[NoizyChild]

I plan on getting back into this game, and I'm thinking about trying out Marduk.

What's the general consensus on him? Is he worth using, or are there better choices?

Is he a battery or an anchor?

What kind of gems would he be best with?

[Tizoc]

So the update should be out by Thursday or Wednesday right?
Looking forward to the new glitches =3

I'll see if I can find any useful strats for Marduk, but he is able to do good damage off 1-stock-
Anything-->HCB+2K-->(Far )St. MP-->Dwn+HPxxDP+MP/HP

Low level sfxt is really ugly and hard to watch.

I thought those matches were pretty good, sure there were time outs but some impressive combos.
Though really some players should've tagged out.

[Horseress]

So...the patch is out! No more game freezing Rolento knifes! YAAAAAAAY

10 bucks we'll have another ridiculous bug in this patch

I'm still waiting for someone to find new glitches/crashes X3

So sad that now we are looking at the game like a big bag of glitches instead of a good game =/

I walked right into that one didn't I? =V

I still like the game and the gameplay, Gem system needs a few restrictions/balance tweaks.

It's not just you, everybody (myself included) is disappointed with the game in many ways...I still like it too, but I didn't played the game in the past month, because of how angry that Rolento glitch made me fell...but now I'll give it a shot again, at least until someone find another game breaking glitch

[Horseress]

From the Capcom-Unity blog, just now:

We alluded to more SFxT changes during our E3 live stream - no details just yet, but we're collecting a lot of data, including copious amounts of your feedback, and should have additional news soon. I believe Seth used the term "fireworks," which certainly paints a pretty picture!

I'm pretty excited about those "fireworks"! Surprise me Capcom!

[Xevren]

New 4th of July colors that make your characters sparkle!

[Kai Dracon]

The joke of this game is that despite all of its problems past and present, I want to love it.

Unlike some, I even like the way it looks. I adore the presentation and art style.

I love the music, love the basic gameplay concepts, like the way the Tekken Tag tag system is incorporated into a Capcom game. I like how the Tekken characters, for the most part, are realized. This should be one of the games of the forever.

It was just released six months too early, with too many shenanigans involved due to godlike moneyhats from Sony and Capcom's monetization department sinking their claws into the gem system.

The game was in development for over a year, it is possible to balance the Gem system as is tho.

Didn't the new producer also say something major was planned for E3? Then nothing happened. And I guess we're not getting those DLC characters early either.

It's like Capcom just wants to let this game die- but buy the iOS and Vita ports first, folks!

[Nori Chan]

So I read like two weeks ago that they were going to release something by the name of "Wild card booster pack 3" and it was for a limited time between june 5 to 19 and I can't find it.

is there a certain place to get it or was this never released?

[hertog]

Haven't played this game for about 2 weeks. Wonder how much better the competition got.
I'm diving in again with Guile/King

[J10]

I don't know how I'll ever win a round. I spend entire matches blocking and tech throwing under constant pressure, dashing under cross ups trying desperately to make room. I can never begin to mount any kind of offense. Why am I always being matched against B-ranked players when I'm CLEARLY not on their level? Is there nobody else playing this game who isn't terrific at it?

backdash or alpha counter, maybe even mash reversal depending on how good your character's reversal is.

Stop playing ranked and do endless instead. Although the other day I did some ranked matches after applying the patch -barely anyone was on endless- and got matched up with higher-ranked players. Most of them were just abusing the autoblock gems and sucked.

Same here, even if I make an Endless Game room with ''Looking for Beginners'' mentioned, I get B-ranked players joining while I'm lowest ranked with 120BP or something lol.

Funny though, I still enjoy playing because I always pick random vs much higher ranked players, and I find it's a laugh when I get 2 chars I hardly played before, don't know why I think it's funny though. :P

If they had waited another 6 months AND released with all the DLC characters included as base AND got rid of gems AND fixed a lot of the systems... goty?

It's really too bad that Capcom is now trapped into the "NO disc-based updates" promise, because this is one game that really needs a disc-based reboot, NOT DLC that preserves the game systems that aren't popular.

It probably wouldn't be out of the question to put a mode in that lets you turn off things like gems (or at least DLC gems) and maybe custom colors so people can play it more like a "normal" fighter.

[Horseress]

I think they could give discounts to people that bought gems/ridiculous colors on the new chars price ($20) and just get rid of it

I mean, ok, they tried something new. It didn't work? Cool, let's make it classic and fun, not revolutionary, but fun

[Tizoc]

With TTT2 realeasing and having 40+ characters AND a vast character customization mode....it makes Capcpom's 12 character DLC thing stupid really.

If they had waited another 6 months AND released with all the DLC characters included as base AND got rid of gems AND fixed a lot of the systems... goty?

Don't remove Gems, they don't do anything major or drastic anyway. If they instead made Gem system more convenient at character selection it would be even better.
Mind you as is the Gem system is fine, altho it does have some Gems that I personally wish they didn't consider including @_@.

[2&2]

fwiw, Amazon has alt costumes for the 12 new characters as a Vita preorder bonus.

Not bad. Might trade in xbox version to get that. ps3 version, master version.

They just patched pc version. It's more playable. No auto block mess yet. Quite frankly I hope they do not posh them out.

Date was never really set. Gamestop didn't even have a listing yet. It happens on Amazon a lot when a date is estimated.

[Lyte Edge]

So the character DLC is now coming out on 7/31. Will this breathe new life into the game?

It's a bandage fix. I think the game needs more system wide changes and improvements to keep people interested.

My friends been doing that Juri combo on me for a bit. It's like the new bnb. It's ridiculous and demoralizing to watch on as you get hit by some of these things online.

How far we've come from LMHH first week right? lol

[Tizoc]

I need to learn that combo already lol, damage is good for at least 1 meter IMO.

[RelentlessRolento]

When does vita version release? Bryan n Jack are fun as fuck to play here at evo

[MrTeachwell]

I've been following the talk on SFxT and am pretty keen to give it a shot on PC, only I'm wondering whether there will be an online community for me to play with. Also being in Australia is that going to limit who I can play with?

If there are any Aus Gaffers around with this game maybe they could comment, otherwise it looks like a fun game especially for an old time tekken fan (grew up on tekken 2 and 3) with PC as my only outlet I've had to watch tekken from the sidelines for the last couple years but I'm really hoping that if capcom fixes SFxT up and maybe puts on a sale then we might see another tekken on PC in the not so distant future.
