Set up moves were all removed from the game and set up focused characters didnt make the roster.
The screen focus is really tight in strive. Theres not as much room for ky and ram to drop tokens on screen as there was in xrd let alone for answer or bedman or venom or jack o to build their whole game around.

Sorry i meant set up tokens on screen not like set up 50/50s and mixups. My bad on terminology

Like when ky could play a ring to shoot stun edge through.

Played some Xrd last night and there were a handful (less than ten) of pubbies in the US east nyc lobby who I could keep up with for random matches

Compare that to dbz where every night has most US east1 64 man lobbies packed to the brim 3 years after launch. Whoever said dbz was bleeding players doesn't know what they're talking about (this may change after strive full release idk

I think he means like playing venom was hard cause you gotta build a trap on screen and get the opponent to fall into it and this is scary to scrubs that just want to bop opponents with big normals, not that people hate seeing venom

Yeah and Bedman leaves "seals"
But i figured there was a generic name for a character that puts objects around the screen as part of their gameplan. Like how there are stance characters and puppet characters.
Who was the first fighting character that could put down a lot of persistent stuff?

Vvv
Yeah he could come as dlc i only meant that for launch they appear to have removed all such moves and specialized characters

They're not giving every single character tools to passively control parts of the screen anymore but there still can be characters specifically built around the concept. Venom doesn't seem like a stretch to me.

It looks like they're explicitly designing the game to omit that exact thing and them retiring Venom in a Rev2 story mode makes a lot more sense in hindsight.

It's me I want to bop people with big normals and setup/trap characters get in the way of that. Incidentally, leave Testament dead forever.

Mankind knew that they cannot block mixups. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the netcode.

Hmm...you're making a good point.

I do hate it when my opponents get to play the game, so I kinda with they'd bring some of those characters back into the game so I can play them.

Tired: playing a game where both players are actively a part of the fight and risk reward plays a hand

Wired: superdashing repeatedly and calling assists as the screen explodes in graphics hoping for a stray hit

Inspired: setting up a series of traps on screen that requires a knowledge check in order to play

You'd think That Man and/or Aria would show up considering the entire plotline is basically about them.

They've been billing this as the last entry in Sol's story so it feels like it's now or never for That Man.
