Cinnamon Bear posted:This is going to be a stupid question but how similar is Soul Calibur to Tekken outside of them both being 3D fighters from the same publisher? Over the past month I've fallen in love with Tekken 7 and pretty much stopped playing any other fighter, but I'm curious if I should check out SC6 when it comes out or just keep focusing on one game. I've never played any of the other games in the series and am pretty new to 3D fighters but really enjoying them now. Absolutely nothing like it. Movement is completely different, juggle combos are incredibly limited. The entire weapon system means that footsie ranges are also completely different. That they both have Yoshimitsu is about as close as they get imo.

There aren't many air juggle wombo combos in SC and it utilizes more of the 3D plane with horizontal + vertical weapon attacks rather than right + left. To my knowledge it's never been as technical or competitive as Tekken at the high level.

just put a 2lb spring in my stick, it feels way more solid and deliberate than it did before did have a moment of terror where i forgot to hold the actuator down when i removed the clip and it launched itself into the air, but it happened to land in the tupperware thing i was keeping screws in while i worked i think i'm going to order a phreakmods link this week, its the only mod i want to make but havent yet, and about as much as im willing to put into a basic rear end mayflash starter edit also figuring out a layout for five button fighters is dumb, for all of street fighter's flaws at least its an obvious layout

Apparently tournaments let a lot of that poo poo slide so i'm not surprised scumbags keep doing it. In the replies someone describes a dude who just straight up reported the wrong result in a pool game "because he felt he was really better and deserved to move on" and after he got found out instead of getting DQ'd they just let him continue in losers because he was a regular. I'd be shocked if he doesn't try that again sooner than later.

Messing around with Fighter Layer EX in training mode, I can tell I'm going to really like this game, which sucks because me liking something means few people are going to give a poo poo about it, IE Titanfall 2 / Splatoon 2. gently caress, why can't street fighter 5 be this fast?

If you preferred the game before you're probably one of the lost children that loved watching Evil Ryu shuffle around for 8 hours every stream. Ultra at least gave us some fun Rolento matches and Elena scumming it out as hard as possible.

Every tournament turned into the last group being who can lame it out with E. Ryu and Elena more, with maybe one or two people playing a not entirely braindead character, who'll probably still switch off to Elena.

RBX posted:What was the final verdict on USF4? I checked out around its release. I don't remember it getting creamed like SF5 is. there was a huge push from community heads at the release of sf4 to support the game even though a lot of people felt like sf4 was a poo poo game and big departure from what made previous good SF games good. USF4 was like the 5th version of a game that wasnt good in the first place but it wasnt outright terrible in the way that sf5 is. for playing USF4 with friends, or watching matches with people that forgot how to play its fine. but the game at high level was a snorefest.. and the more knowledge you had, as a spectator or player, the worse it got. heres an example vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TilsQ1DkZbk the meaty jumping move is an unblockable. why? who knows but its also got a built in OS for doing a demon if you try to reversal out. every character has stuff like this. the game is just total poo poo

sf4 is marginally better than sf5 b/c it had stuff like the match where two hondas just stared at eachother and sometimes threw out normals from fullscreen the entire round

Even AE Yun wasn't as boring to watch. While the core of this post is true, are you forgetting Nemo who got into several top 8's? A couple of times he played other characters but he definitely was using mostly Rolento. LPN made a couple of Top 8's too. There were only a few top Rolento players but he still made several top 8's.

From a purely casual standpoint USF4 is a thousand times better than SF5 to play with a group of friends with some SF2 experience. Plus I really liked Juri in SF4. SURE AM GLAD I BOUGHT THE CHARACTER PASS FOR SF5 TO GET HER.
