Go Gear four on their asses!

I like how big the characters are in MKX. Not a fan of the way Injustice makes everyone look like midgets.

see's mileena's fatality

vomits

Edit:

Vulva you down for some 1v1 on SF today? Trying to get back into the groove of things again.
 
Fatalities are still cool.


There is no wakeup invincibility. If you use an EX attack with armor as a wakeup you'll have the armor. That's it.
 
This will be my first MK so
how big of a deal is that?


It's a departure from the previous games. In MK9 and Injustice you'd get actual invincibility when using certain special moves as a wakeup attack. Now you don't so wakeup attacks are not as good. There are other defensive options though so it's not like you're helpless without having meter for an EX move.
 
lol, oops just saw these. my bad.


why the FUCK would you quote it

Motomura really came prepared in that Xrd GDC talk. So much detailed information on the lighting system, how they got the cell-shading down, and a number of other things including some live demos in the software they used. I don't even want to know how long it took the artists to manually adjust the vertex normals on the character models to get the shading right. Lots of good stuff in there.

So unsure how the fuck this Viper player just got ultra 1 set up with about 65% health still left to go for him. He didn't focus absorb any attacks from me, nada. Just had an Ultra 1 right at 65% health. I was WTF @ that shit so hard.

Getting bopped hard on USF4 on PC right now. Got into the point brackets where the game is no fun anymore. I can't win one worth shit. I wish I never hit Rank B. This is not how good I am. I just happened to grind enough.

I'm basically AT best a 2000PP player. That is my highest I usually can keep before crashing down a shit ton. I barely coast over 5k BP with characters. So this game picking same skill makes me suffer non stop. I'll lose 10 before I win 1. It demoralizes the shit out of me.

I hope SF5 ranking is much better to finding same skill so my win loss can stay 50%

Gotta master the select plinking option selects to be the best. If you stick only has 8 buttons, that might not be enough.
and also master the bullshit the game loves to throw at you that no other fighting games do
 
They should do rankings in SF5 like Halo 2/3/5 does it. Either have a 1-50 system or tiered ranking system like Halo 5(which is sort of a copy of how Starcraft 2 does it).

I'm on my way out with this game. I completely understand and accept I am garbage at SF4. It taught me enough to be better in other fighters. My Xrd Potemkin I am proud of. Faust too.

This game never had a character that meshes with me. Ever. Urien, Gato, Potemkin I can jive with those three in their games.

SF4 the character I've had the most success with was probably Honda, but I find him dull as dirt to play.

Hoping with MKX next week there is someone in that cast I can jive with. Looking at Ermac, Cassie Cage, Kano, and maybe reptile out the gate, but my projectile game is mad weak.

I followed him recently and he just streams 24/7. Right now he is meditating or something? Guy is insane.

Also, the Japanese robot voice is talking constantly.

Wanna play on PC for a bit? I wouldn't mind practicing my Decapre, who's honestly at sub 2kPP player level right now.

Super solid Chun. Glad I can at least hold my own.

Definitely need to learn this match up. Let's go!

Edit: Was absolutely feeling myself after that P. XD
