Looking And Waiting For Something Special?

You know that it's an uphill battle when Ivy's best move against Hilde is that kamikaze SW 44K.

That's the -only- half-decent move I recall that will not get you C3A/B-ed to death.

PS. I can vouch that Kura took Evo 2k9 by storm because no one... NO one expected a Talim to even show up at that stage to Evo but more importantly, the breadth of knowledge that Kura had of the game and all OTHER characters to begin with. -Not-, necessarily just because of Talim's underdog moveset.

As long as there aren't over/under powered characters the game will be balanced enough. I'm hoping for better but that will at least make it more reasonable for someone maining the worst character.

I'm happy that Harada said right now the focus is on TTT2 and SC5 so that means we will see the game before TvsSF which is a long way off.

In regards to test playing and such I think we can see if TTT2 gets test played, if so maybe we can expect a chance to test play SC and give our 2 cents.

There's always going to be under/overpowered chars. You can't balance a game perfectly. I just want the tiers to be very slight, like in SSF4, KOF98UM (yeah I know, Krauser, but everyone else is balanced, and Krauser's beatable) or VF.

As for 3 frame JF- that's good. Improved netcode/input buffers (input buffers was part of SC's netcode problem) would make this a better system. One of my beefs with SC4 was it felt like the input buffer was really tiny. VF does it right here- with a 10f input buffer.

(other games, I believe Tekken's is 5f, HDR/SF4 is 15f)

You being serious or what?

Nah, totally serious. I've tried to explain this to some people but few actually agree with me.

In a way it helps explain why trying to work a "mind-game" against a random spammer doesn't work. Or when people who don't know about frame traps interrupt your followup move out of major disadvantage.

Basically no fear = no hesitation = no confusion.

Well, feints work against overconfidence too. I just wish they incorporated more feints instead of the random A or B indistinguishable throw crap. Of course feints never work against mindless spammers though, but those types are easy.

He is playing a mind game on you with that post Vince. Mind games even exist in real Martial Arts. If mind games doesn't exist then I don't know why I was trying to read my opponents all these years of SC gaming...
