Namco Announces the Release Date of SC2HD

What are doom kicks?

There was a mid kick that Mina and Kilik shared (correct me if i'm wrong, i remember the data only, not the notation) that they could glitch and make it BS +14. The HS was something so high that Mina got 3B guaranteed.

Heh, people are just now freaking out about this stuff? It didn't seem like that big a deal to the European scene back when SC2 was "big," but maybe I'm just forgetting a whole bunch. Whatever, maybe they'll fix some of it before rel-bahahaha who am I kidding. Gonna be tapping ankles for ~25% damage all day.

Edit: To be honest though, while I haven't seen the other stuff in action, Maxi's 3B+K,B doesn't seem like a huge deal to me. It's still unsafe and linear as hell, and I doubt it's magically going to make Maxi S-tier. Mitsu's 2KB is about the same speed, does around the same damage iirc AND it kills step. At his absolute best, Maxi will probably be a poor man's Mitsu, which isn't a bad place to be, but it's not worth hitting the panic button over.

Cannes 04 was either played on NSTC version or banned use of the PAL exclusive glitches, because footage from that tournament shows no Kilik doom kicks nor Ivy UB. I would confirm further with Maxi 3B+K but I can't even find a Maxi anywhere in the available footage from that tournament.. which is probably telling enough.

The Ivy/Mina/Kilik bugs are the real big deal.

I don't expect the game to make a big comeback either way. If it does pick up again in spite of its whackiness, great, but I'll just try to have fun with it for at least a month or so.

I like the sound of doom kicks
