Broken Loose posted:what I recommend is to put Bella on Cerecopter for Fukua mixups and then watch footage of dekillsage (the best player in the game; one of his main teams is Fukua/Bella/Double) for Fukua ideas. Uh, no, definitely would reccomend H Lock n Load for Fukua (or filia). Cerecopter is harder to get used to as a new player for mixups, and LnL is already the better assist in most cases + good coverage against other assists anyways. Cerecopter is good for Filia but as a duo LnL is the way to go for the neutral assist. Copter is okay for Fukua but not really the best.

Broken Loose posted:Fukua doesn't need a neutral assist. Fukua has phenomenal neutral. Copter as a learning tool for the game is a great addition to Fukua because it's intuitive lockdown and you can do shadow/command throw mixups off of it. LnL is a great assist but won't teach this gameplay concept as clearly. Once giogadi is more familiar with the game they can more fully explore options to cover their weak points as a player, whether it's using LnL to aid with zoning or even if it's Excellabella to keep enemies vulnerable to ground-based mixups. Fukua has good neutral on top level, but for people learning the game, Fukua isn't going to steam roll anything and needs a neutral assist about the same as any other character. Copter isn't a good learning tool because the last hit always makes conversions hard (especially for new players) and mixups in general are harder to grasp for people starting ou because of SG's options. It's a good assist that will end up feeling very meh when they have no concept of when to call assists, and unlike LnL there are a lot less times where you can call copter. LnL is the perfect "call it to keep yourself safe" in almost any situation including mixups cause armor usually blows up most every counter attempt from normal reversals (character dependent) or people mashing on assist so you get the best counter call. You're REALLY overestimating how good cerecopter is as a newbie tool imo, since from my experience trying to use it when I started out or trying to get other new players to use it always lead to people not understanding anything and watching the opponent fly away on the last hit of copter, where as LnL was clearly the assist that just made sense for how good and simple it is. I would tell people not to use copter in very much the same way I would tell new Parasoul players to *not* convert off of throw with H Bike or tell new Eliza players to use H Servant for the grab despite them being of very great use. While on high level they have very good applications, converting off of them is something that takes a long while to get used to because of how awkward they usually are, and would instead prefer to tell people to use other more simple tools until they have a good grasp of the characters.

Well, I dunno about you, but the repeatedly calling people faggots and etc without shame specifically to rile stuff up, even if it's just an act, is still crossing the line for me. There's no one concrete terrible thing that's bad (aside form going too far in the exhibition against KBR at Winter Brawl), just the overall attitude/personality thing that takes the heel image too far. You're right about Dark Prince, I was just trying to bring up the recent cases though, and I dunno if Dark Prince has done anything lately.

I think Combo Breaker took the right approach. What he did was wrong and he should get punished for it and he does present a danger for other attendees, so a Ban is justified.

idk if there's anything recent about Aris, other than just his silly commentary? He harassed someone a while ago, I met him with a group of friends that had 1 girl in our party at the time and he didn't do anything creepy to her. As far as I know, seemed okay?Endorph posted:It isn't something that's going to be fixed by Girls Only Tournaments, kicking Noel Brown out for a year, or pretending that Aris is a decent person now because he hasn't talked about assholes that he wants to lick in the past seven minutes. It's going to require a wider, cultural shift in the community as a whole, and speaking up when you feel that somebody has crossed a line, or even just said something kind of lovely. I get the rest of the post, but it needs to be said that those elements listed above ARE a good part of starting said cultural change. Stuff like this is needed, but it's not the end goal.

That was one of my only complaints about the game.

Lemon-Lime posted:The question should probably be "Pokken fans, how do you feel about your game only having twice as many players as a game that isn't actually out yet?" Considering that it's still a really decently high number of entrants on it's own, pretty good I guess? I guess the comparison is weird to me, since Pokken doesn't really feel or seem like Tekken much so I don't really know if there's much player overlap outside of casual buyers.

Jmcrofts posted:Turns out smash players don't like other games either (this is from CEO Revelator t8) FWIW that was Melee players, who are notably even more lovely than typical given Smash 4 players. Now, maybe the Smash 4 players could end up just as bad given they are cut from the same cloth, but so far I haven't really seen or met any cases like that and it's just Melee players who boo other games before their finals and etc. They both are still stupidly entitled communities tho. brian posted:smash is a fine game with some nice people in the scene but i would prefer if they didn't get added to big FGC events as there isn't enough time for FGs already at the ones I go to, at locals I think mixing everything is good for everyone though, just bigger events suffer when smash (and tekken in the uk apparently) are involved because they seem to consistently get aggravated about stream time while repeatedly lying about how long their section will take and over filling it with games then not caring about anyone else because the crossover is so small. A lot of other games have gone over time over many events, and a there are plenty of other games that have taken just as long as Melee. What I would argue for is to get them to stop running their Double's tournaments. Those things are glacial and somehow even more boring.

If that match is a particularly long match (usually not the case) and the set for other games in question was really short (mostly isn't the case for EVO, though for other Majors yeah it's a thing), that could happen, but by in large.....no?

At this point I'm glad that these devs at least get that FGs should be at 60 fps ideally and we all (seem to?) agree on that. The arguments about input delay with "Do you seriously notice the difference?" is just reminding me about all sorts of 30 vs 60 fps arguments of not being fully aware.

In Training posted:It might seem like a cop out but any game you want to sink time into will help because the concepts of like, distance, wake up options, maintaining pressure and dealing with pressure apply across the board. No, this is basically right. Every game has it's own version of neutral and footsies to consider that never 100% translates over. Playing older games might help, but mostly it will just tell you how to play older games. Things like focusing on spacing and patience are things you just need to focus on from an individual level.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:my understanding is that at serious levels of play it's almost exclusively teams of 3 There are several other Solos who have had results in tournaments, and even now there are still some Solo players going strong. Any character can be viable with solo at this point except for maybe Robo. Solos got really nice with them being able to heal with Snapbacks so that they can come back from pressure/resets better. (I have several tournaments results with Solo and no one ever remembers  )

Reiley posted:Is Squigly a viable solo character? I don't have the brains for team management but I really like Squigs and her stance mechanic. She is, but it involves playing pretty differently than how she does on a team. The same can be said for every Solo, but its more apparent for Squiggly because you don't have as many free spots to build charge like if you had an assist. That and her reversals outside of charge/level 3 aren't the best so getting out of pressure will take more work. The upside is that Her Charged DP (especially if you have meter) is easily one of if not the best reversals which helps out a lot for a solo. The big part of Solo for competitive/high level play is that you just have to be good, and commonly a lot of new players who aren't used to game play Solo. Most of the hangups I've heard from others who tried solo were like "I can't deal with pressure/resets, I get hit and then I get stuck in the corner and die" or "I can't deal with X character/assist/team, what can I do?", and usually in all of those cases it just involved recognizing situations better. I guess it may be obvious, but it's sort of the #1 thing I see all the time; that isn't to say it makes Solos top tier, since it's pretty hard to argue that having less options would make you higher tier, but they are certainly viable and can easily take games off of teams. Those same hangups I said before will apply just as much to teams as it will to solos, and unless you AC or reversal to safe DHCs, nothing will be different. The truth is, Solos are just "scarier" to play since they don't get Incoming mixups (which forcibly give players a chance to block a mixup when they're losing in the corner) or Alpha counters, and assists just make things safer. But the risk can definitely be worth it, and there are times where Solo definitely can be very beneficial. Pomp posted:i really want to play skullgirls now Late, but see me in sg

Uh, did mike ever confirm she was getting a reversal? I've heard a lot of Robo things, but a new reversal was not one of them. And...it'd be boring/un-needed if she did? Solo Robo's big problems atm are that her laser zoning w/o assists is very awkward, her head summons are pretty underwhelming (aside from Head mine), key parts of her combo strings doesn't function properly, and her Solo reset/mixup potential is all awkward and not great aside from jMP crossups. It's like playing Peacock (who also doesn't have great reversals) if half of Peacock's tools didn't work right. That's more of the problem with robo, not so much that she needs a real reversal. Robo with the right assists can avoid most of these problems, which is why Robo is fine on teams. The only specific things I heard that was getting fixed were some of the things I mentioned above, but if he did something like make L Danger completely invincible, that'd be pretty boring imo.

^^^ Magnet being invincible would be okay by me I suppose, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.punk rebel ecks posted:I also don't get the criticisms of Robo's "lack of zoning" with her lazers. They can be very effective as long as she is very mobile. The lasers do zone, but they don't have great coverage and atm don't function properly (cases where they "should win but end up not working, particularly against Peacock). Her mobility is good but it doesn't really make up for how she can't really keep anyone out very well from those things. You can try to offset that by playing midrange with more buttons when you feel the opponent coming in, but most robos don't like her buttons either. She's still okay. Its not like she's terrible, but she is lacking and part of that is cause things don't "feel" like they are doing what they should, and that's what most Robo players are complaining about. And being powerless when hit is the idea of the character, exactly the same as peacock who's only reversal is pretty weak. It makes for more interesting design, and I'd rather have the character have their neutral tools fixed to be good rather than just giving her a better invincible tool.
