Mr. Locke posted:They were incredibly open that Multiversus was beta. Say what you want about them selling $100 character packs in beta but they never hid the fact that you were putting cash down on an unfinished product and anything otherwise is revisionist history to paint a narrative that doesn't really need a whole bunch lying to already look pretty poo poo.

even if you do think they were clear that it was a beta there is zero indication anywhere, even on their website, that 'beta' meant 'it will be taken down for a year.' plenty of games have an open beta period that transitions straight into full release with no gap between them.

holocaust denialism. thinking people should have been warned that the beta might get taken down for an extended period of time before spending 100 dollars for an iron giant skin. these are just a few examples of the evils of revisionist history.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:there's no such thing as a paid beta. if you're taking money for it it's a release and calling it anything else is just preemptively going "you're not allowed to be mad at me" because you know there's something to be mad about.

i simply think every executive at warner bros should be in jail and everyone who spent money on multiversus should be under a guardianship. this isnt controversial.

Arist posted:Slayer would be cool but I've seen people point out that Season 3 hasn't had any new characters so I kinda doubt it. some people have suggested sharon (his wife) and thatd be a really funny reversal thatd fit the themes of strive. shes immortal (which is why slayer can drain her dry in his intros) and theres a random ending where eddie basically explodes after trying to take her over instead of zato, so itd be neat to get more info on her.

the only cool thing to happen in melee is amsa winning with yoshi and near as i can tell its because everyone just sort of decided yoshi sucked without even attempting to learn him

no genuinely in melee the low tiers just do not exist. this isnt like even, idk, 3rd strike, where there are occasional q or remy low tier warriors. they just literally do not exist. heres the top 100 of the most recent big melee tournament's character representation. how many of that character there were, and the highest position they got fox: 28 (1st) yoshi: 2 (2nd) marth: 14 (3rd) sheik: 13 (5th) falcon: 7 (7th) jigglypuff: 8 (7th) falco: 17 (9th) pikachu: 1 (9th) ice climbers: 1 (17th) peach: 6 (17th) dk: 1 (25th) luigi: 1 (49th)  heres the most recent melee tier list of the top 100 only 5 people were playing anything outside the top 8 characters in the game.

and yoshi and pikachu are in the same tier as ice climbers so if you dont want to count them there's literally only two guys playing actual low tiers.

melee has the extremely odd mix of being both very fast in a second-to-second sense but also being very slow and grinding in a match-match sense. it is very hard for a bowser or a ganondorf to scam wins with their power because they have to kill the opponent four whole times. they can usually scam a ko or two but they are unable to even get in or consistently trade with the top tiers due to the absolutely massive gap in speed and neutral tools. likewise a character like mario can, to an extent, play the game, but he lacks killing power. this would be fine if he only had to kill the opponent once, but in a game where he has to kill them four times, hes basically inevitably going to lose the damage race. combine that with most of the lower tiers, even 'heavyweights' like ganondorf and bowser, having pretty bad recovery, meaning they actually die more quickly than most other characters. the ruleset and metagame are uniquely suited to grind out anyone outside the top tier characters. falcon is both fast and can kill extremely early, he can actually scam out wins in a flashy fashion. fox absolutely dominates neutral and has decent killing power. there's just no real room for low tiers to compete. compare this to a traditional fighting game. if you look at 3rd strike, q is pretty starved for strong neutral tools, but hes compensated by having fairly high damage and extremely high health (if he can get his taunts off) and a few decent buttons. he can get wins if he picks his spots carefully, and he usually at least has enough time to try and find those chances.

Edmond Dantes posted:Since we're talking about people getting into fighting games: How do you folks end up deciding on a main? I got SF6 at launch after having played a bunch of SF4 with friends back in the day (and most fighting games to ever hit arcades -but never 'competitively' - since I'm Old As gently caress) and ended up playing... 35 hours? Most of which were spent jumping between characters before somewhat settling on Ken, but then I read everyone online complaining how Ken was op as gently caress and my brainworms did The Thing and tried to get me to play something else so I ended up falling off completely.

personally i just like characters with extremely stupid gimmicks. my first 'main' was suwako in touhou 12.3 who if you dont know has extremely weird movement. - idly standing counts as crouching - regular walking forward/backwards happens as hops, she can do aerials during her hop - crouching makes her make a lily pad beneath her that she stands on and can then hop off of - forward dashing puts her underground - she has the fastest backdash in the game - when she gets knocked down and techs she also goes underground - her airdash is her flapping her arms to fly - when shes in the air she can quickly tap down and the dash button to fastfall and put herself in her underground dashing state as you might expect this leads to the stupidest mix you have ever seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csrVSNBzMIQ&t=214s
