Support NeoGAF

I think I'd take any of Nintendo's d-pads (sans GCN/GBA) over any of Sony's.

I've had a pretty strong dislike for Sony's d-pad design since 1995 and I don't see that ever changing. I'm continually baffled at its popularity.

 

[SloaneRisette]

GG's to Beef, Karst, Onemic, and everyone else I played in that lobby.

If you guys have any advice on which character you think I should stick with, or any tips to improve, I'd really, really appreciate it with Evo coming up and what-not.

I feel the same, honestly. I much prefer the d-pad on the Wii U gamepad/Pro Controller than the Dualshock 4, personally.

I like Gamepad analog more than Dualshock 3 analog too.

Same, I've never been able to get used to any of the Dualshocks' pads :/

whhhaaa?!??

Dualshock d-pad is the best.

How do you even do qcf attacks on a wii remote let alone semi-circle or full-circle motions? Those d-pads are stiff as hell.

 

[Dahbomb]

Yeah man I am all about the Dual Shock D pads myself.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I loved the Genesis 6 button pad

Sega > Nintendo > Sony > MS

Generally. There are always some outliers.

 

[Professor Beef]

Outside of already being a terrible game

Terrible view from a terrible poster, I guess.

 

[Clockw0rk]

Wolerine has surpassed Zero as a point, same with Morrigan.

Morrigan
Wolverine
Zero
Mags
Nova

In that order free.

There's no way wolv is ahead of zero. He's ahead of everyone listed because he needs the least amount of resources to do his job, and he does it more safely. Zero on top

 

[Dahbomb]

Sega better than Sony for Genesis and Saturn controllers. I am not a fan of the D pad on the Dreamcast.

Definitely agree on Microsoft having the worst out of the console makers.

 

[Busaiku]

Dreamcast controller is the worst thing.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

I am not a fan of the D pad on the Dreamcast.

Nobody is.

That whole controller was one step forward one step back at best. Only six buttons?

 

[Karsticles]

Fuck charge ultras. So many lost matches.

I don't think anyone is going to change his mind, Clock.

Don't play Charge characters then man.

 

[LowParry]

Play Bison with Ultra 2?

 

[Professor Beef]

Listen to this man.

 

[Kadey]

What gets me is NRS and their lack of throwing in anything. They made the most money out of any other company on Injustice and MK, like a lot more, but yet look at how pathetic the overall pot is. People are always talking about how great they are to deal with and this and that but then goes blowing up Capcom and other companies about their lack of having anything to do with their game. You don't see NRS having a pro tour or anything of the likes. I just hate the hypocrisy.

 

[Busaiku]

What about Nintendo.

 

[SloaneRisette]

What about Nintendo.

The Invitational dawg

 

[Busaiku]

Can't wait for the Super Smash Bros pro tour.
Grand prize in the world tournament will be lower than Evo's pot.

Of course they'll have their own rules too.

 

[Professor Beef]

Hasn't NRS been supporting the MK9/Injustice scenes from the get-go? I don't recall NRS throwing shade on Capcom, either.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Play Bison with Ultra 2?

Is this Ultra the lowest damage? It feels it takes off so little

 

[Karsticles]

Are you on Pad or Stick?

Stick.

Don't play Charge characters then man.

I don't like any of the characters in this game though. They all look stupid or suck.

Everyone here ignores Bugs Bunny, and you should too.

Play Bison with Ultra 2?

Maybe.

How do you do a qcf on a dualshock lol, even the bargain bin $10 Logitech controllers have a better dpad.

 

[Rhapsody]

Who are you using, Karst? Are you done with Oni now?

 

[Immortal Technique]

NRS certainly has juiced pots in the past. No idea what happened with EVO this year

Likely just don't have any promotional funds in the tank they can get from marketing.

 

[Busaiku]

They have no reason to push Injustice when Mortal Kombat X's coming.
All the DLC and everything's out, pretty safe to say they're done with it.

 

[jbug617]

Have no clue what this means
http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/02/evo-on-ign-dont-miss-a-moment-of-hype

On July 11th, many of the greatest fighting game players from across the world will converge on the Westgate Las Vegas (formerly the LVH) to battle it out for over $100,000 in cash prizes during what is unquestionably the "World Cup" of competitive fighting games: The Evolution Championship Series. For the first time ever, IGN will be livestreaming the event, and delivering a level of coverage well beyond what it has typically done in the past

I guess maybe a live stream hub because Spooky/IPW is doing the main stream for EVO.

 

[Karsticles]

Who are you using, Karst? Are you done with Oni now?

Using Blanka. Fireballs in this game are ass, I am tired of dealing with the headache. All of the best characters have dive kicks. I like Blanka except for his ridiculously stupid Ultra 2 input. It kills me so many matches.

 

[Kumubou]

Sega > Nintendo > Sony > MS

Generally. There are always some outliers.

I would generally agree with this if you made it Sega > Nintendo > Sony >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (continues) >>> MS. I can't comprehend how the hell anyone plays fighting games (or anything) on the 360's d-pad, which is sad because the rest of the controller is pretty damn good.

As an aside, the d-pad on the analog Saturn pad was pretty ass.

 

[Busaiku]

Probably interviews with players.

 

[Master Milk]

But they don't play Marvel!

I guess it'd be easy to strike up conversations with people, then.

Go teach English.

Bodying people that are worse than me doesn't make me feel better about myself. I think I might seriously work on going though.

I don't like any of the characters in this game though. They all look stupid or suck.

Why are you playing the game then?

Wasn't Evo 2009 steamed on IGN as well? There's been some goofy one-off arrangements (like the one year Evo was available in Playstation Home... random as all hell).

I also started reading the comments in that article... that was a mistake, and now I'm looking for the IQ points I just lost.

 

[Onemic]

Stick.

Maybe.

I thought you liked Oni?

And although I've been critical on what Capcom has done to him in Ultra, he's still a better character than Blanka. He's just harder to win with when first starting out unless you rely only on his gimmicks.

. All of the best characters have dive kicks.

Not true....Although a lot of them have one of some sort, even if they arent as useful as others.

While her she's not an amazing zoner, have you tried learning Juri? Or is she one of the characters' designs that don't click for you?

Spooky confirmed on twitter that the same team that streamed EVO last year is doing it this year. He said it's some kind of news thing.

Why are you playing the game then?

There is nothing else to play, and I am tired of Marvel's netcode. I want to like it, but it is so hard. I will pick Skullgirls up full time once Eliza releases, and I have GGXrd and P4U to look forward to.

I like Oni aesthetically. He sucks though, which stresses me out.

hahaha. I always appreciated how in touch the NRS guys are with the competitive community

 

[Silky]

You don't see NRS having a pro tour or anything of the likes. I just hate the hypocrisy.

What? WB/MK has sponsored multiple tournmanets during the span of MK9's life. CEO and Season's Beatings being important majors with pot bonuses/prizes and EVO's huge ass pot back in 2012.

Injustice? WB supported the game again with another 5,000 for last year's EVO. NetherRealm's added more stuff regarding balance changes/compatibility for tournaments for that game alone. Hell even recently they migrated MK9's netcode to something new when they really didn't have to considering how dead MK9 is.

Them not supporting injustice now is obviously because of MKX. I'm not faulting Capcom, Arc, or anything/anyone else not showing support for their games (especially considering I should since Arc/Atlus sent P4A out to die, SNK/Atlus provided a fucking statue iirc, etc.) But I don't think you need a 'pro tour' or something as a sign of you supporting a game's competitive longevity.

 

[Dahbomb]

Invincibility doesn't mean more randomness.

That sounds like salt talking.

 

[Karsticles]

Nah, I have always thought this, and I benefit a ton from invincibility with both Oni and Blanks.

Just watch videos of players like Daigo walking up to people and DPing them on oki. What is that if not random?

 

[Deckard Cain]

There's no way wolv is ahead of zero. He's ahead of everyone listed because he needs the least amount of resources to do his job, and he does it more safely. Zero on top

Resources needed has been irrelevent since TAC Infinites. Plus Wolverine beats Zero now. If you want talk about minimal resources then Firebrand would be #1.

But Im a show me guy so why don't you show me actual top Zeros winning consistantly against the Top Wolverines. Time will show.

...but Blanka is worse than Oni though....

If you're looking for a high tier character Blanka is definitely very low on that list. He just does well online.
