Nice to see Strive 2.0's affecting other fg devs but I don't wanna say it's "one step to improvement" because they still have lots to fix unless they fuck it up again but it is a good patch so far. Now, your move Capcom, SNK, French Bread and others.

>SNK
nta but the S2 patch for CotW was pretty good outside of not really nerfing Hotakumaru enough. But it's not like he's some S+ tier character right now.
Most notable was Kain getting lynched for the S1 atrocities he committed.He arguably got nerfed too hard, because he's straight up trash now.

had a disaster day in ranked sf6 today trying to learn elena, i think i'm probably gonna stop playing her for now until i have better game sense. decided to switch over to strive and play some johnny and ended up going on a long winning streak and my opponents kept one and doneing me instead of playing the full set.
therefore i can officially say strive is easier than sf6. i might try some tekken ranked tonight on the new patch, how's fahkumram?

I guess Sean is better than Twelve since Sean has a bad gameplan that barely functions but Twelve has an incomplete gameplan that could work but has no punchline (he can harry people with lots of pokes and neutral pressure but it leads to nothing but zero-damage combos with no knockdown and no opportunity but more of the pointless same - without something like a command throw that makes all his other tools into things an opponent has to mental stack while looking out for that one move they're all building towards he has nothing to threaten with).

Yes but actually no. This are Trials for Ash Crimson. Aside from the fact charges take fuck all time to charge in KOF, Ash has an install super that turns his charge moves into motions (instead of holding down and pressing up, you just press down then up). Gives him the swaggiest combo game in XIII off a fuckass anti air. Bottom 1 character sadly.

It'll be half a year at earliest before we see if any other games took notes from Strive in balancing or not.
I'm leaning "not" for T8 and SF6 because those games seem to be stubborn about their current directions. I really, really WANT SF6 to finally patch out throw loops but you would be gullible to believe it will happen if it didn't last summer.

I still don't know why so many people throw a fuss over this, most of the characters have the same combo structure anyway, you learn one character then you already learned 80% of the cast.

I'm not talking about her command dash (the special) which you just use to get enhanced versions of her specials in combos/meaties
I'm talking about her dash, instead of running, she lunges forwards fast (very fast with 50 meter, extremely fast with 100 meter)
It's not better or worse and she can still block while doing it, it just feels different to a standard run

In 2014 I bought a RAP VX-SA Kai (for the 360). After 8 years of nearly daily use the lever finally began to fail and a year later the buttons began to get iffy. Replaced the Sanwa JLF it came with, installed a JLX and the 30mm buttons are all new too. Didn't bother replacing the 24mm.
I'm worried about the proprietary panel at the top however. When that goes, that could be a real issue. That panel has the 'back' button and the 'L/R stick buttons.

It fell for the modern fighter meme where everything got homogenized. Not that it ever had a great meta but it went from one side of the extreme where it was bullshit but had fun stuff to just making everyone do long combos with barely anything makes them different now.

CotW is just having a good time at this point.
Everyone knows the game didn't do well and has settled on having a couple hundred players at a time, so might as well throw whoever the fuck they want in the game before they take another crack at trying to get normalfags to notice them with AoF4.
Shame that next season is more than likely going to be the last one, there's a couple other FF characters I wanted them to bring back and the game is fun.

It looks like shit though both in terms of sprites and character designs. Arcsys never made good sprites. The thin pixel style looks like shit. Arcsys never made a good looking game till xrd and theyve never actually made a good game

You mean Calamity Trigger vs SF4? First off Calamity Trigger is dog shit to what you consider current Blazblue, BBCF. But even the anime community shitted on it because it was the same thing as Strive back in 2009 except it wasn't stepping on a legacy so the blow was mid at best. CT - CSEX most people would call this Early Access Blazblue. Chrono Phantasma is Blazblue 1.0.

Battle Fantasia has that comfy jrpg look and it released before SF4, but it never had a shed of popularity
I think BB is very hit or miss, Tsubaki's sprites are really good and her flowy clothes enhance a lot of the animations, but Ragna looks like a deviantart reject and his animations look a little jank

They were quite literally wasting money on in because the entire basis of a fighting game is the competition. Without an EVO or a Capcom Cup, their game wouldn't sell as much as it does. Esports just aren't lucrative because nobody respects it enough to pay for it the same way people pay to watch actual sports and competitions.

>>737073097
The problem with dnf duel was less that the characters were too strong, though that was part of it it especially on launch, but that there just wasn't anything to the game except insane character power level. No execution barrier to overcome, no complex interactions to master, no equally broken defensive and movement options to have to play around, just memorize and then do your character's broken shit before they can do theirs.
Imagine that game but with Slashback or CVS roll cancels or at least like air movement so just putting a big hitbox on top of your opponent is harder.

People are freaking about all three points but the closest thing I'd even consider "kinda weird" would be the third one, I guess? I didn't really think it was too weird because anime has shown me far weirder fucking incest examples.
Like blood related incest with your sibling somehow gets less backlash.

She had some delayed/microdash combos in the previous patch off of like falling jS into delay Youzansen that were a little tricky, but I don't know if they're in the game anymore
The hardest thing she can do is actually Guard Cancel Parry
Any multi-hitting string like Bridget 2S, Bedman? 2H or a few cS should in theory impossible to do on Baiken unless you do some really specific, hard callout counterplay that could get you killed if she doesn't parry
If she does it, she gets to run offense immediately,
Thing is, the timing is short and you need to immediately react. If you do it too late, it'll whiff and you'll get counterhit, or if you do it incorrectly you could also be getting hit because some moves are low and you have to do a quarter circle motion

>Want to compete in fighting games
>Would come off as "unhinged" in modern FGC
I'm too unsportsmanlike and I refuse to put on a fake persona like the current men wearing dresses and calling themselves woman in an attempt to be "safe" and fit in. I'm too competitive. I'm so competitive I'll lost a few friends who were too soft to handle even the lightest of blows. While you look at pro players as stars I don't even look at them because to me they're just an temporary object in the way. I've had a few rivals, some even became top pro players in the 10s. At that time I have no money and no way to get to tournaments. But now that I have everything whenever I look at the FGC I feel nothing but disassociated feelings. I feel like my era is over. Now I just bully any and everyone I fight in fighting games to the point everyone wants to take me down because they see me as "unhinged" and I must be stopped at all cost, even if it's online. You fucking losers, quit being so soft.
But recently I bullied a friend and now I feel really bad about it. Maybe I'm growing soft... aaahhhh! I hate this so much. My blood boils with competitive edginess!
