Mochiballs posted:I think a character can be made bad, but what is an example of an intrinsically bad character? I know comparatively little about the game, but the one that comes to mind is Sean. He was ridiculously good in 2I, so they hit him with the nerf bat so hard in 3S he has moves that are negative on hit. Also, early incarnations of Dan. If you wanna get more technical about it, there are characters like SSFIV T.Hawk, who are like Gief but shittier in almost every conceivable way. He's supposed to be a Gief with a slightly easier time getting in but a slightly worse SPD, but spire is poo poo and dive is much worse than it was in ST, so he mostly just ends up sucking hard.

Gamest Mook posted:The MK9 tournament scene has not struggled at all, its attendances at majors relative to the attendances for other games have been increasing since Evo, where it already made a strong showing (500 people, most popular game after AE and MvC3). Why do people think this? Just because it isn't on streams? If you had asked me, I would have thought it was struggling just because of that one random Avoid the Puddle contest where they basically bitched about the tournament scene for an hour or so. Obviously not scientific or anything, but if you're not really involved in one of the major scenes, it's hard to get a bead on these things. Of course, I probably wouldn't volunteer information about the scene.

Hey I know we're past tourney chat, but has anyone ever experimented with running a Swiss style tournament, power matching a few matches on the end, then running a small single slim bracket to determine the top place? It may take more time depending on how many people are involved, but more guaranteed matches for everyone sorta offsets that.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:They got the Guilty Gear license back so they should make a new GG and forget BB ever happened. I've always wondered about this sentiment. Given that GG and BB share a very similar skeleton on a very basic level (bursts, super meter, faultless guard, roman cancel, super anime art style, etc), why is there such confidence that a new GG wouldn't have the same problems as BB? Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I'm one of the assholes who started playing fighting games with HDR, so I really don't have a lot of good hands on time with GG.

Waterbed posted:The problem is it's a My Little Pony game and literally every character is a Pony and shaped like a Pony as is generally a singular color which makes it the a game next to "hitboxes: the game" in its capability of conveying information. I don't think this is an objective problem though. There's also the possibility of non-ponies being playable (are there non-pony characters in the show? I don't know.) If the game is good at all, I welcome something replacing AH3 for the best "embarrassing to be seen playing" game.

Broken Loose posted:My personal problem with FiM is that it's a weapon fighter where the weapons aren't visible until they're being swung. Epyon has a whip? Cool. Parasoul can poke you across the screen? Fine. Kabal has really good range? Fair enough. Hibiki can confirm from 2 character widths? All right. Jedah, Eagle, Donovan, RX-78, Twinzam V, Hayato, Omega Red, Kenshi, the list goes on. The only times you'll see a fighter revolve around moves that materialise out of thin air more than a fraction of the time are in MUGEN. And if the characters mentioned don't convince you that unexpected ranges are all over the place in fighting games, don't forget the representative from ST, Dhalsim. PalmTreeFun posted:... I kind of like the whole hybrid shooter/FG idea. Probably the same aesthetics as that too. Does anyone know if Wartech: Senko no Ronde was any good? I picked it up for 360 because it was, like, 3 bucks, but i never really figured out any mechanics, and online was completely dead. I did notice there was a revision of it when I was in Japan in '08, though.

PalmTreeFun posted:Another thing that isn't a complete ripoff of another game was kind of an odd idea I had as a kid. You know how in F-Zero X and GX, the only stats that varied between cars were grip, boost, armor, and weight, while you could set max speed vs. acceleration on a slider? I thought it would be interesting if you had a fighting game with that same idea, only you could set a slider between something like armor/health and speed. Maybe even mid-match using a universal stance change move or something. Cosmic carnage sorta did that with a light/heavy armor system for half it's characters, but I'm also pretty sure that game was poo poo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_Carnage

interrodactyl posted:The game boiled down to: "Save 2 meters, burst, if they're in the corner you combo off the burst" I remember watching a Marn/Kurasa match, and this was just the dumbest thing ever. Zero has much the same bullshit safe pressure he does in Marvel, except there weren't as many good escape options, so he could just to block strings into assists and block strings until he opened you up. Then if you have the audacity to fight back you get comboed.

Question Mark Mound posted:Roogle, teach me how to play whoever in SF4 is the most brain dead with no execution requirements! Rufus is incredibly stupid, and has exactly one execution requirement - s.LK s.HP xx galactic tornado. It's a one frame link, but because it's HP, you can double plink it and it magically becomes pretty easy. To play him, just dive kick all day. Sometimes don't dive kick and throw instead. If they have a DP, sometimes don't dive kick and block. If they like to jump too, instead of dive kick, j.HK EX snake strike. You have a ridiculous reversal with EX messiah that can be made safer with FADC'ing the follow up. Everything you do combos into ultra. Have fun!

Go to Marvel 3, play Dante so that multiple button presses gives you entirely different moves. Ratcheting up the operant conditioning should help.  The real answer is that there's no real fix. Just spend time in practice mode until not mashing becomes muscle memory, and play live matches focusing on being less of a spaz.
