Imperial Impact Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'm saying that weird character designs are nothing new for the seriesCody looked like Billy Lee from Double Dragon with a bowl cut before that, so it's still kinda valid(also I was joking, I actually like Cody's design in SF)Final Fight 1 came out before DD1 did.So every Beat em up protag was a Cody clone.

With footage like this, I wouldn't be surprised if e3 this year will have some sort of announcement about  it finally.

Lucyfish Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Yoshinori Ono needs to burn in fucking hell. They replaced SF5's netcode with one more akin to what SF4 had, and it is absolute garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlastairSnowpaw Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 That sucks, the games with really good netcodes i played where soul calibur 5 and skullgirls, skullgirls was really good because it uses GGPO which most any fighting game should use. Soul caliburs net code is also good and it was one of the main games i played fighting game wise for a while, Tira was my main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also successfully full parrying a combo with a sliver of health and making a comeback is still one of the most satisfying things ever. A mothafuckin' REAL man's x-factor. Although if they did re-add parrying I think it'd be neat if they give it some kind of limit, maybe like a parry gauge or something to balance it a little.

Like, Ryu has his parry for example, and what it is is a quick movement that has one hit of super armor, and Ryu has positive frames afterwards so he can punish after it. So for all intents and purposes, while the parry is technically different, it works exactly the same. 1 minute ago, AlastairSnowpaw said: Also since you mentioned it UMvC3 is super fun and hella hype to watch for all it's broken nonsense.

PK Fire+Dash Grab+Down Throw+Fair+Fair A real man's combo Okay, a serious answer: my friends play Mortal Kombat X a lot, which I'm not a fan of, personally, but I indulge them. I usually pick Kung Jin because he has effective projectiles, insane melee reach (by MK standards) and really good juggle potential. They get too far out of range? Reset with a dive kick and keep staffing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieono Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I love fighters. They are my favorite genre of games, alongside rpgs. I'm especially passionate about Tekken, early KOF, and Guilty Gear. I really love 2D fighters more than anything. I haven't been all that competitive in years though, but still play the hell out of them when I get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucyfish Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Mortal Kombat is fun but it becomes really dumb at high-level play.

MK has always been really dumb in any kind of competitive environment (although nothing ever reaches the levels of sheer retardation that "competitive" UMK3 ever did...even if MK9 ended up giving a nod to it). Which when you think about it is incredibly fitting seeing as Mortal Kombat in general has always been unbelievably stupid. I mean this is the game series that gave us such memorable innovations such as "Hara-Kiri's" and 1-hit-kill death traps that you could just be thrown into within literally 2-seconds. Really what I'm getting at is MK: Deception is fucking awful and that stupid fuck Shujinko can suck my disappointed middle-school dick. Man I could rant about MK all day since love that shit to little, increasingly absurd pieces. I mean I still have a copy of MKII for the SNES even though that game is awful, except it magically isn't because IT'S FUCKING MORTAL KOMBAT. 1v1 me outworld flesh pits mothafucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoLinni Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I just hate factory made combos in general. It's bad enough having to memorize the moves for each character, but then expecting me to memorize some string of random button presses that I basically HAVE to learn in order to get good? No, thank you. Unless you do it like in The Last Blade 2 where each pre-made super combo for each character uses the same sequence; in that case it's not as bad. But I definately prefer combos you can do on your own, ala the street fighter games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
