Backtracking to Divekick--putting aside how forced/unfunny the humor is, the most common complaint about the game when it launched was that it turned into a parody of itself by shoveling in gimmicky characters who didn't fit the dive+kick theme and were unfun to play against. I don't think Stream ever got reworked but S-Kill got overhauled and Baz was effectively removed from the game. It's not and should never have been billed as "the one true fighting game" but as a side tournament game and a way to teach new players about the importance of spacing/reactions it ended up in a good place.

Mio Bison posted:Shoutouts to the FGC herd mentality for guaranteeing that Divekick and SFxT would stay dead regardless of whether the devs fixed the legitimate gameplay problems identified in the launch version. are you actually saying here that SFxT eventually became good? I can't tell with the wording of this weird sentence. Anyway, I just wanted to say that SFxT never ever became a good game and that game deserved much worse than it got when it was released.

everythingWasBees posted:Lethal League > Divekick I don't have it in me to play it as much as I did Divekick but I agree, Lethal League is really loving cool. Me and a friend were playing it and we completely blew our minds when we noticed the timer at the bottom, got some cool rallies going after that. But sometimes our balls were launching straight away, timer maxing out immediately and we wondered what was up with that. Then we discovered that the strength of bunting was that it launches the ball immediately after being hit if you strike it while it's purple. But if you can predict the other guy will go for a bunt, you can make the move first and steal their bunt because the ball returns to neutral and immediately nail them with an instantly launching ball. the game became really loving fun after that, all about the yomi of bunt or not-bunt and playing games by launching the ball at unexpected angles or loving up their timing by delaying usage of your special. It is the kind of game I really appreciate.

Mio Bison posted:Glancing at your post history I gather this is the most complicated thought you're capable of forming about fighting games. Keep at it! I am not an '09er and I didn't follow the "pro" level of SFxT except for watching like 15 minutes of that show where Aris got into trouble. Marvel 3 has a ton of problems and you can tear it to shreds if you try to get academic about it but it's just alot of fun to play, at any level. It's just a really fun video game. I mean, if you load up arcade mode, don't know much about the game, it is still just a fun game to do combos and beat people up. This is a really obvious thing but we forget it because everyone is obsessed now with the pro scene. SFxT is just absolutely not fun. Seriously go try to run through the arcade mode without getting bored to loving tears. It just feels awkward, herky-jerky, and wrong. You don't get the to the part where people are complaining about midrange dominance of this tier or whatever because nobody wants to play that game, because the game isn't coherent or fun to play. I don't really care if it is technically great because of the balance between um whatever management stuff you are talking about.

I still play SFxT occasionally on my Vita but only because King's tag in combo is like 3 jumping knees and a powerbomb, but yeah it gets boring after a couple of matches. SFxT was like a perfect mix of boring, ugly, and pay 2 win. Just pre-ordered that GGXrd TE2 from Madcatz and Xrd LE from Amazon. The only fighting games on the PS4 now and in the near future are Injustice, Xrd, and MKX right? Hoping for an Ultra port since I don't have my PS3 anymore.

Yeah it's pretty much this. SFxT zealots would defend the game by saying "b-but you're playing it wrong!", but that's SFxT's "catch 22": it's just not fun to learn and git gud. Even worse, even if you do get good the pace of the game doesn't magically improve, at best you just have a good grasp of risk/reward and act accordingly. I played SFxT vanilla only because of scramble mode and Ryu/Ken was braindead easy competitively, you basically ignore anti-airs and zoning at all times. It was a fun gimmick but it got old pretty quick. Post patch was just mind numbingly boring.

I'd rather play SFxT until the end of days than touch Marvel again so uh... to each their own. It's a moot point to me, I had a lot of fun figuring out Lili/Dudley early this year but I don't like SFxT enough to join the handful of people trying to keep it on life support! My beef is with people who hear other people talking poo poo about a game and regurgitate it when they don't know the first loving thing about how it actually plays. I've had way too many conversations with random FGC dudes at events where someone will casually drop "X game sucks", I ask them who they played in it and the answer I get is "I never played that game because it sucks". SFxT and SF4 are slow, KI has combo breakers, Divekick is a dumb Flash game, Superman ruined Injustice, Kokonoe ruined CP, I'd play 3S if it didn't have Chun, Vega wall dives waah, Tekken is homogenous and VF is way too hard, so that's why I don't play anything, right? FGC's ability to poo poo on games they don't play is unparalleled.

Well yeah I would rather play neither, and I regret playing SFxT in retrospect (except scramble mode) IDK why it would bother you that people regurgitate SFxT_unreasons.txt in particular. poo poo sucks, you don't need to write a thesis on why that's the case. If it's because it develops a "bad rep" or something (lol) call it a kusoge or something, it sounds more endearing and people are into playing those anyway.

The problem with SFxT that was never fixed is that nearly every character is super threatening at mid range and the combination of awful walk speeds, huge stages, horrible throw range/speed, and ability for every character to mindlessly buffer into 300-400 damage means people sit just outside mid range and don't do anything because the risk/reward of actually being brave in footsies is all hosed up. The only reason every round didn't end in timeout is because people took huge risks from behind since they knew they'd just get timed out otherwise. It ends up being like high level 3s except for much simpler/worse reasons that manifest themselves at much lower levels of play. I guess SFxT can be fun if you play really bad characters or are bad at the game. The only fun part of the game is doing combos but you have to play the rest of the game to get to that, or just sit in training mode.
