Rip Shadowloo Showdown it was a nice ride.

RIP

Anyone know what time the beta goes on-line this Friday?

From the blogpost:

from 12/18 12:01 AM PT (8:01 AM GMT) until 12/20 @ 10 PM PT (12/21 @ 6 AM GMT)

To be fair reading inputs isn't the problem with CPU opponents. It's the inhuman reaction time.

 

[peter0611]

Yeah, making good video game AI is tough and the fighting game genre makes it even more difficult. Also, the devs don't give a damn about improving them.

AI Decapre and Blanka can use their hand specials from a completely neutral state. That's even worse than frame perfect timing or the reading inputs nonsense. You're basically violating the input rules of those moves.

 

[Clawww]

thanks man.

[Cindi Mayweather]

I feel like the SF2 CPU is the smartest AI humans have ever built

it would whiff punish the shit out of that IBM chess robot

I remember beating SF2 and feeling like it was a huge accomplishment, especially against Vega and Bison.

I could never beat the arcade version of SF2 back then. Got humbled too many times.

 

[Beckx]

two hours til they announce Kazuya in Smash.

The screen for beating SNES SF2 (WW) on highest difficulty without losing was the best. (but even highest difficulty was way easier than the arcade)

Do you learn anything by fighting an almost perfect cpu like st's? Does it reinforce good habits or something?

It is a nice, low-pressure way to learn the inputs of a character.

I don't know what the common wisdom is, but my thoughts:

you can perfect your execution of moves under pressure

you will use cheese to win that you should never use in real matches (like, god damn LabZero, you had to make Filia insane to beat at any level of Fukua's story mode so I'm going to cheese slides every time she jumps)

 

[El Sloth]

Wait, what?

Arcade sticks works great for old school type games, shmups, Contra, TMNT, Streets of Rage, etc...

Edit: wait, doesn't Binding of Isaac need two sticks?!

Many people on PC play with no sticks at all! lol

I just configure my buttons on PC using joy2key. I don't know if the console BoI let's you customize your controls the way you want. My layout:

Shoot Left - Shoot Up - Shoot Right
Shoot Down - Bombs - Item

And I just have the two further most right buttons mapped to "Bombs" as well. It's a pretty fun way to play, at least I think it is.

OMG, single most annoying thing about BoI on PC right there.

One of the reasons I love my Steam controller is that BoI is no longer a pain. Movement on left stick (assigned to WASD) and face buttons for shooting.

Oh, amending an answer I gave weeks ago about using Steam controller for fighting games: once I switched it so that the left stick output a digital d-pad, I was happier using it. I'd say it sits somewhere between using a normal dualshock/x360 controller and using a fightpad. I still would rather just plug in my arcade stick to the pc, but I've been using it for convenience when playing the NeoGeo HB games and it's fine.

I practiced playing safe/spacing in Tekken's hardest CPU. Basically no high low mix ups work against the CPU, no throws work and if you do a slower than normal move they always hit you out of it. So I basically just play the space game and just wait for the CPU to do a slow move then whiff punish for big damage.

It's useful when you're super free at fighting games like I am, because I get a really competent practice partner with infinite patience that I won't get too salty losing to. It's unfortunate that it's such a low priority in fighting game design nowadays, which is understandable, but I sort of miss good CPUs.

 

[Master Milk]

uniel's on sale for $10 . . . i was going to wait for the pc version at this point but . . . .

 

[Kadey]

I was watching the delirious six and the guy who can't talk reminds me of Aris.

 

[CO_Andy]

It want to see an Adam Sandler flick that parodies the FGC.

 

[notworksafe]

[Beckx]

Hell yeah, Fates protag in smash. Fates was one of my favorite games this year.

Fire Emblem haters are gonna be mad....

 

[Tripon]

Another Sword and Fire Emblem character in Smash, yeeeeeeeees.

 

[notworksafe]

Just what Smash needed, more of the same old shit.

 

[Sayad]

So, have Smash surpassed SCV's number of sword fighters in one game?

 

[Mizerman]

I'm not surprised that they would put the protagonist of the upcoming Fire Emblem game in Smash.

 

[Tripon]

Uh, Cornin looks broken as fuck. And not just as the trailer makes him look OP.

 

[notworksafe]

the angled side smash looks nutty lol

 

[DryEyeRelief]

starting with a character reveal from fire emblem means there's going to be another character reveal at the end right?

 

[petghost]

The thing that worries me when playing a perfect cpu like st is that it will teach hard rules that aren't nearly as hard when playing a human like don't throw a fireball when they can jump in and punish or don't jump in when they can dp. Both are generally good advice but those risks are a big part of the game as well.


I'm shit at st too kotaku so if you wanna learn together that'd be fun.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

That added a Fire Emblem and a Pokemon character

fack

 

[Tripon]

Think the character poll promised 3, not including Cloud?

 

[CO_Andy]

Sakurai taking notes from Ono i see

 

[Shun]

I loved Fire Emblem If so I am very happy about Kamui but I don't want to wait 3 months but I understand because western game release.

Cloud is Order Sol. Kazunoko play now?

 

[Beckx]

I'm going to SD myself so many times with Climhazard.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Sorry I still can't believe they put cloud in smash.

 

[Tripon]

And it's.... Bayonetta!!!

 

[Beckx]

OMG

Never thought it would happen.

This is AMAZING

Bayonetta

 

[Mizerman]

Didn't see that coming.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

that's better than banjo

 

[Dahbomb]

Oh shit Bayonetta... it's about time!

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Where the FUCK is Shrek?

 

[notworksafe]

BAYOBOIZ!! We in there!

 

[Dahbomb]

Where the FUCK is Shrek?

You mean where the fuck is Goku.

 

[direct_quote]

Damn, when's Dante?

 

[Tripon]

Where the FUCK is Shrek?

You mean where the fuck is Goku.

Samurai said realizable characters. It's confirmed that Sherk and Goku were not realizable.

 

[Horseress]

You mean where the fuck is Goku.

Where the FUCK is John Cena tbh

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Funny friend was just bitching how Lucario isn't like he is in PM with the combos. Now Bayo is in
