If there's anything that we can take from this, The FT10 vs Xian and Infiltration is that we should have listened to Killian....I think back to Seth Killian speaking poetry about Daigo's playstyle at EVO. Daigo is done with that soft shit.
I understand reverting u2. U2 is best as an antiair against characters who can't alter their jump arcs. Sim's bad matchups tend to be characters with better threats from the air and the ability to change their jump arcs, which means U2 antiair traps don't work against them as well. So buffing U2 is more useful for Sim to make his good matchups better without helping him in bad ones. Doesn't really seem necessary.Yea all drills with speed up would be so good! And I don't even think it would be too good! With so many buffs getting thrown around, did Peter say why Dhalsim's drills were reverted back (and why his u2 now has been reverted too?). What is your honest opinion? Do you think Capcom wants to avoid making Sim strong in this game because so many people hate him, so they would rather have him too weak?
What exactly do you think she got too much of? From what I saw she looked strong, for sure, but nothing game breaking. People went nuts off lightning legs to Ultra 1 which has been around since at least super http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXNuRvkD91gOriginally Posted by Lost Fragment
The 5th character is Chun. I'm pro-Chun getting better but she got way too much.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a game where it was harder to succeed with only "dumb" stuff? A game where there are enough defensive options that choosing not to reversal doesn't necessarily mean becoming the attacker's bitch? A game where your character doesn't shackle you into particular forms of mixups?
Yeah, that'd be great.
I see what you mean with the U2 yea. Hopefully they realized what you are saying, and gave him other buffs in stead (My friend didn't test drill speed at Dream Hack, but what you say leads me to believe it was removed). I really hope the drill speed stays too!Originally Posted by UltraDavid

As for lk drill speed, he didn't say why it was being reverted. I like it in part because it lets him be more mobile in matchups where he needs it and it can be used to start better offense. I'd love it if Sim were more able to play offense as well as defense like he can in games like the SF2's. It helps him a bit in good matchups but it also helps him pick better spots on screen and escape against characters who can chase him down more easily. Hope it stays in!
I have trouble allowing myself to think this.Originally Posted by "God's Beard!"
Remember, the throw is generally the lowest damage option so unless you're fighting a vortex character with a particularly nasty setup or you opponent has shown themselves to love throws it should be a low priority read.
Games are designed to favor the aggressor. That's to ensure the game ends. When defensive options are better than aggressive ones bad things happen to a game. It gets frustrating for players. It gets to be not fun. The goal is for the match to end, then you go on to the next match!Originally Posted by Juicebox_FGC
I have trouble allowing myself to think this.
Let's assume an attacker is rushing down from the front, no ambiguous crossup attempt.
Attacker
Throw = Around 130 life gone, opponent gets a setup
Hit = Combo, some characters turn it into untechable knockdown + setup
Block = bait a reversal.
I interpret every single one of these scenarios as a high priority read. Getting thrown and being forced to deal with it a 2nd time isn't something anyone really wants to do, and depending on the character the setup after the throw could be really nasty (Evil Ryu comes to mind).
Getting hit is of course the whole point of offense and where the damage comes from. Them blocking my reversal takes advantage of my fear. I could backdash, sure, but at higher levels this is much less likely to work over time (I can raw react to some backdashes, option selects/set plays make it even easier).
End of the day, we all gotta make our guesses. It just sucks that any one of them can end up as complete dominance. I'm grateful for KOF13's backdash.
Oh yeah, I'm going to be honest here: I think I have a disability. I've probably read hundreds of posts from each and I've seen them talk to each other a bunch, but I cannot tell these two posters apart. As far my memory is concerned, they are the same person. It is like an optical illusion or something, my brain can't process it.Originally Posted by ViewtifulJC

Combo told me they'd originally buffed slides too, making them faster and safer, but that was also reverted. I didn't ask why heh.I see what you mean with the U2 yea. Hopefully they realized what you are saying, and gave him other buffs in stead (My friend didn't test drill speed at Dream Hack, but what you say leads me to believe it was removed). I really hope the drill speed stays too!
Another idea I had was to buff sim's hurtbox while lk sliding in a way where he could slide under divekicks the way he can slide under jump ins. Not sure if this is a good suggestion or not, but it could be a way to deal with some of his bad matchups.

Especially in a single match, by the time you know what is going on (oh you are going to uppercut every single fucking time) it can be too late.I remember losing to a Ken like Gandhi's style when SF4 first came out. Hard times.

The jump is the only thing I have a problem with. She controls the ground so well that she doesn't need a super-fast jump like that. If they kept all her other buffs, maybe with a few tweaks, she would be fine I think.What exactly do you think she got too much of? From what I saw she looked strong, for sure, but nothing game breaking. People went nuts off lightning legs to Ultra 1 which has been around since at least super http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXNuRvkD91g
She has 50 more health, 1 more frame advantage on hk LL, a decent anti air, a useful ultra 2, a useful armour breaker and finally doesn't have a stupid jump. I don't think that's really all that much that's crazy.
BLACKHAWKxDOWN spent several revisions of the game doing this.Man, I bet you could get so much mileage out of that when Ultra drops and people are just looking to jump into games and grind some rank.Yeah especially if they set the timer to 30 seconds.
VF5FS might be an official event at Defend the North this January in NYC. I tied for 9th at NYG8 in August, I need to get top 8 this time! Been training hard every week since September, and I'm ready to show off :)
Here's my last match at NYG8 in August after knocking out cruz and getting sent to losers by Denkai.

Plenty of 3d fighters have the majority of attacks leave the attacker at disadvantage, if you really feel like offense has gotten too strong in 2d fighters.Originally Posted by Juicebox_FGC

Yea I was just about to say this. At least in 3D fighters a blocked attack is usually negative on block and the only positive on block moves are moves with a really long start up or moves that don't lead into any real follow up. There is also no scarcity of defensive options... something like a delayed wake up has been in Tekken since forever plus like 10 other wake up options to make sure that there is no true vortex set ups.Originally Posted by sleepykyo

I plan on it. Working on VF at the moment.Sounds like Juicebox should just play Tekken or VF. Real honest fighting games.
