Generally in games with touch of death all characters can do so as well.

As you said, ring outs are *immediate*. TOD combos force you to sit there and wait it out. Some of them are quick, but others aren't. Maybe you hold out the hope that the player doing the TOD will drop the combo, and then you get your turn back.


The only people that I've heard complain about ring outs in fighting games are casual players. It can be argued that perhaps fighting games with TOD combos weren't made with TOD combos in mind. I suppose Marvel 3 certainly was given that it has X-Factor, but I don't think Smash 4 was designed with that in mind.

Lobby up.

Now if Bayonetta was not made in mind for TOD then I can see the issue.

MVC3 was designed with TODs in mind. Some of the Mission mode combos do like 700k damage and with a simple DHC tagged on that kills a lot of characters. People would go up to Seth Killian and be like "omg the damage!!!" and he would be like "meh found a 1 million combo with Phoenix Wright using one bar no XF".

The game was designed to have easy big damage combos for a lot of the cast. They wanted to give every DHC combo "that's 90% welcome to USA" flavor from MVC2.

I am uncertain whether to feel excited or disgusted by this.

I think thats why folks watched the game at tournament too. That feeling is pretty hype.

I love watching Sonicfox's stream when he's playing different games because his chat is 70% "when are you going to play mkx" or "i wish you played mkx more".

can you contextualize this? what happened in the new smash patch?

I'm sure the posts above gave you an idea, but the recent Smash 4 patch has been datamined, and it is literally only Bayonetta nerfs.

The community's idea of learning to deal with stuff is complain hard enough to force Nintendo's hand, and it worked.

I'm confident that Cloud is next in the community list now.

It's hype when people first figure it out. Then it's 10 seconds of a match that you zone out during every time it happens.

So I'm guessing there won't be any more fight sticks coming out from Madcatz, whatever is on the market is what is.

I tried calling their support a week ago about some side panels I ordered and the number had been disconnected.

Any ideas where on their site, or anywhere else, I can find the coaxial cable for the T.E.2?

Mine is becoming frayed on coaxial end and I need another one before MC goes completely belly up.

At least Nintendo's balance patch notes aren't as obtuse as From Software's patch notes:

Being fair, Nintendo has no patch notes at all for Smash, the stuff you read was datamined from the servers by other people, so From is still not the worst lol.

For whatever it's worth, this is a Smash only thing, since Splatoon gets clear and detailed patch notes.

I guess Sakurai and company want to minimize the amount of babies whining at him? Who knows lol

How would folks go about creative a slightly more unified "MMORPG community", the same way the Fighting game community (FGC) is?
