Needs more 9k. The boot!
It's moved far enough in the Capcom fighter direction that there's an argument to be made about the game exposing top-MK players, who are used to scrubby, slow, simple fighters. Now they have to tech throws, block cross-ups, and so forth. FChamp started that shitstorm.
But it's similar enough that it's still clearly THEIR game. It feels a lot more like MK9 than any other fighter.
True that. I guess I've gotten too used to people using the "our players could beat your players" callout as some kind of veiled assertion that one community's game is superior, when it wouldn't really prove that at all.

Damned Renzo, knocked me into loser's at NCR last year. Playing the new characters was cheating!

In all seriousness the top mk players aren't as good overall at fighting games as the top players in other games.

I love how bombastic FChamp can be sometimes. It's like I'm watching the FGC version of Apollo Creed popping off.

Is that true or is it just that the top 3-4 Capcom players happen to be beasts at games in general?
Well, I guess Guilty Gear and Virtua Fighter produce a lot of cross-game beasts, too.

It's not shocking that GG and VF can do that, they are both pretty much the middle ground of their genres and both high quality as fuck.

Block button causes them to not learn how to block in every other game.

Don't a lot of 3D fighters have a block button?
Same with smash bros?

Obsessed with 4chan
CDjr plays other games. I think he's been going in hard on SFxT, and he got top 8 at Apex in AE I think even though he doesn't really play AE super seriously.
That's not a fighting game and everybody saw this Lego game coming ever since they started making Lego games. It was inevitable.
Crossovers are a whole other story.
Side note: LEGO Batman 2 is dope as fuck.

Guilty Gear Isuka and P4A has made me the master of fighting games, you guys are scrubs because you havent mastered having to use manual turning! Psh every other game is baby mode!
I don't think there is that big of a difference among those 3 characters. Justin just has to adjust to some of those gimmicks. And besides it was 2 days since the game's release, not enough time to learn the match ups.
Really curious to see how Chris Genius performs though.

A traditional 2D fighter should copy Smash Bros' blocking mechanic.

Where it breaks? Soooo a lot of old 2d fighters, BBCS sorta, and CvS2?
Smash invented Guard Breaks?
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
He was a tester so pretty good probably.

I mean copy it exactly, with a button for it, a bubble, having it break after time and dizzy, letting you roll/dodge with it up, letting you parry/reflect by doing a perfectly timed block.
Yeah that's why I am curious. I am interested in seeing the difference between day 2 and build tester Injustice.

That wasn't a fighting game!
Oh wait neither was Guilty Gear Isuka and P4A
lol
Sooo, you sorta want BlazBlue with button blocking, rolls and instead of taking bonus damage you get dizzy?
Perfect Legend rarely seems to go anywhere. Pretty sure he already said he wasn't going to go.

You mean like Virtua Fighter?
I'll play that game

Justins doing the virtual fighter thing isn't he? As far as I can tell Civil War is just doing the Big Two but on a weekend thing.

Anyone who thinks P4A's problem is that it's too simple should just graduate to Jojo's. Now that's a game that rewards execution.
I play that game

It does and JoJo's is vastly better than p4a. I rather just play GG or BBCP when it releases though personally.

Competitive mk has been largely concentrated among 20 or so players for 10 years. I wouldn't be surprised if running simulations for various scenarios/designing flow charts has been less commonly used in the MK community.

I don't think grabbing out of block would work.
Nor jumping out of block

LOL she would only wreck if she kept her damage, mitsuru wouldnt be as dominating as she is if her damage was cut back on par to match up with her design.
Her MvC3 equivalent is Nova just start using him.

I play Young Joseph. Fuck execution.
I would totally play a execution based character if I had a training mode.
