God damn man. That can't be her real voice.
Also merry Christmas

Since 02UM will be a main game at Combo Breaker I kind of feel like learning the game and entering. Even though I'd go 0-2 quadruple perfect it seems worthwhile to go play the game offline.

Blocked uppercuts = say goodbye to a third or a half of your life

It's like being Eryu with two meters...everytime

And all the while you watch the stun meter building up

it's so beautiful fam

guys halp, i wanna buy this stick and heard its really good but i dont know if itll work on ps4's here in america... help a pleb pls

Its pretty cheap too for such a sleek stick imo. I wanna to get a custom baller ass stick but the guy who does them isn't doing them ;_;

Of course it'll work, there's no such thing as a "region-locked controller."

But if you don't really, really need the silent buttons, you should probably buy the regular HRAP 4 Kai from Amazon while it's $120.

Can you not fit 30mm silencers in Kuros?

Main reason lol, there is a place that'll suit it up for me but I don't really wanna open on my fight stick until I'm in more of a stable financial situation to afford the luxury of possibly breaking it. This seems like a good deal.

The chance of breaking a stick is really low. Replacing buttons and joystick is basically idiot proof, I could do it no problem

D..De...Devour

Yeah until you get into cutting wires stuff is pretty easy. I've swapped out joysticks, ball tops, springs, and buttons multiple times now, just because of random OCD shit.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

It's one hit indeed. You get hit, the super KO screen flashes, and you don't get the full super animation.

The same thing happens with Rashid's super if it chips you out. I imagine this is the case for everybody's super, I guess except for the grapples, and maybe Ryu's, since his is a non cinematic multi hitting super.

Chun's is a ~17 hit super when blocked. But ~36 hits in full animation. I know that much at least.

 

[shaowebb]

Oh wow! Combo Breaker 2016 has added a King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match and after 1 day it now has more entrants than any other game at the event.

This should be a pretty interesting venue if your a KoF fan then.

Whoa, very nice.

 

[shaowebb]

Whoa, very nice.

Yeah, its pretty impressive even if it doesn't stay in the lead for this to happen considering the event has pretty much everything on it including SFV. Hope to see some cool stuff! Yo Juicebox you gonna go and compete this one?

 

[Joule]

Of course it's the version with no net play on a platform that is dead in the west.

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1160429

Time to guess what's more dead, this or RoI.

So there's no netplay for this version at all? I'm guessing there's just local play with others?

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

I don't remember people bashing parry as much as people are focus attacks. In fact I'm sure people didn't. Because parry was seen entirely differently than focus attacks.

They hella were. SF4 was the "return to honest old school Street Fighter" no more blocking or parrying in the air. People would get punished for jumping. People at the start were happy about DP trade into Ultra saying stuff like "it will teach people better footsie fundimentals cause jumping in gets you blown up".

It's literally history repeating itself.

Except SFV is super fucking boring.

 

[Lostconfused]

Someone can correct me on this but pretty sure 2v2 versus mode is ad-hoc only.

 

[Dlent]

I can understand saying that SFV feels bland when the only unique mechanic is the V-system which isn't very interesting for most characters. Maybe it's also that every character has fewer normals and specials in V? I'm sure more advanced techniques will be found in the future, but the simplicity of the game is what makes it feel bland to most people I've seen with that complaint.

EDIT: And a lot of the normals feel universalized as well, with most medium punches being plus on block, no cancelable crouching light kicks, cancelable hard punches but not kicks, etc.

 

[LegatoB]

I'm pretty sure it's actually limited to 2 players total in adhoc mode.

 

[Karsticles]

My hype levels for SFV have gone from a 10 to a 3, and that 3 is there because of the potential of FANG.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Yeah, I think I heard that too.

Why? Do you think his playstyle will be too annoying/broken or is it just the design?

 

[Karsticles]

FANG is raising it to 3, not lowering it. :/

More advance mechanics grow out of flexiable system mechanics which SFV lacks. I remember a year ago people were saying the same shit about Smash 4 but no one ever found anything game changing for it.

Oh, OK. Usually when I see ten on a scale I think it's the top. Sorry >.>

Actually yeah http://exvs-force.ggame.jp/spec/ its just 2 player adhoc. You only get a partner AI in "2v2" mode. So this thing is single player only pmuch.

 

[BadWolf]

I didn't get to play it but did watch lots of streams and SFV still looks awesome to me, can't wait for February.

 

[Nightii]

I like simple and focused, I played quite a bit of the beta, and it feels great for me, those crush counters!

 

[Dlent]

Even if I'm not very hype for it I still enjoyed playing V, so it's already a big step up from IV. At the very least, it'll be a good side game if it doesn't require any time investment in training mode.

I expect a good stopgap until KOF basically, if that turns out shitty for some reason at least I'll have something to go back to.

 

[Kikirin]

10 is the top though. I understood the remark to be: "I used to be super hype for SF5, but now I'm totally not. The potential of FANG is the only thing keeping me mildly interested."

 

[jerry1594]

Basically went 10📉0📈3 with the addition of Fang

 

[BakedYams]

There's a lack of Cindi post, much more enthusiastic then the rest of us are and a breathe of fresh air. We've already become old and decrepit from the FGC, when will we find the elixir of rejuvenation?!

 

[Kalamari]

Just crossing my fingers that the final release is good.

 

[smurfx]

My hype levels for SFV have gone from a 10 to a 3, and that 3 is there because of the potential of FANG.

i went from a 1 to about 7. like you i'm waiting on fang. hardest part for me right now is getting used to the slow ass gameplay. marvel has spoiled me. -_-

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

You know your game isn't that hype when Maximilian is on & off with his excitement levels. That guy is usually all aboard the hype train but last night he was less than thrilled for quite a while.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Yeah, my hype for SFV has also dipped a little. I'm more excited for Revelator honestly.

Spoiler

Too bad the online will be near dead real fast.

 

[Swarna]

He was also getting destroyed by randoms last night.

Meanwhile Infiltration, FChamp, Juicebox, Alex Valle etc. were loving the game.

Who to trust...

 

[DryEyeRelief]

He's right actually. When 4 was new people were praising it as a game closer to ST and not like 3s.

People liked the idea of chip kills. 100% guaranteed situations. You can't parry out of this fireball chip kill.

Now with SF5 coming out people don't want chip kills. It's funny.

And to be quite frank with you, people have been only bashing focus attack within the past year or so. I know it because when sfxt was out, one of the key elements that people said was great about it was that it didn't have a focus attack, but the greater fgc didn't *get* that yet.

 

[smurfx]

eh many pro players also loved sfxt and we know how that went. it doesn't seem like a boring game to watch at this point so its not likely to go down the same route.

 

[Professor Beef]

I like chip kills. Removing them has made me sad.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I'm having a ton of fun with it. I suck at execution, especially in a match, but I feel like the game's easy enough to where I can efficiently do mixups and v-trigger combos, and even some CC combos.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

why should anyone give a shit

 

[Swarna]

It's kind of irrelevant because you already know this game isn't going anywhere. Worst case scenario it's the most popular fighting game for years simply due to the modern business model and the strength of the IP. My biggest complaint is that it looks like ass. The backgrounds look like they're from a PS2 game and if we have to look at that shit for a long time...like, it looks like the textures are supposed to load in but they never do.

 

[BadWolf]

Wasn't there that series of tweets where Justin went from hating on MVC3 to loving it once he started winning?

Their opinions really don't matter all that much in the end. SFV will do well regardless of whether they like it or not, the game isn't comparable to SFXT at all.

I'm having a ton of fun with it. I suck at execution, especially in a match, but I feel like the game's easy enough to where I can efficiently do mixups and v-trigger combos, and even some CC combos.

This is great to hear, some are hating on the easier execution but imo the more people that can get into the game the better.

 

[Deps]

SF5 is everything I want from a SF game, can't wait. My only worry is that Capcom will add some shitty new mechanic because people are crying that it doesn't have enough "depth". The game right now is basic SF at its best, doesn't need anything else.

 

[shaowebb]

This is a big thing IMO. I fall asleep watching SF IV. Just dull to watch. The footsie play in SFV excites me though. I see a lot more shuffling around and the last hit is one that I see becoming a real intense one not to lose the way SFV is setup compared to SFIV. Its more impressive to watch to me.

Take it for what it is though. I couldn't stand the art and the snail pacing of SFIV and got bored fast with it. I'm finding this one more exciting. Playable even to someone like me.
Still think ASW and KOF are gonna be the real treats this year though.

 

[Swarna]

This is how I feel, too. Let SF be the basic bland shit. Other fighters won't go anywhere.

If the absolute worst thing about a fighting game is the graphics of all things, then that's nothing to worry about.

Sweet! Fuck yoooooooooooou specular and ambient occlusion maps. I'm gonna go back to work on other stuff!

Not really. This makes me excited for the potential player base of KOF 14 being higher though.

 

[Clawww]

excuse me, max is a famous videogamer, check yourself please

Yeah, it could use more speed on jumps.

Nah, it is bad once UltraDavid complains.

 

[CountBlack]

Before I wanted them in but now I kind of understand it. Since backdashes aren't invincible or viable in the slightest, you're more forced to block on wakeup than in SF4, which would result in a lot more/easier chip out situations.
