My latest waste of time: moves that whiff/hit on characters of varying height
Are you going to go through all the normals, too? If so, intense!
IIRC there was a podcast before launch that even mentioned character tweaking was happening up to the last moment, such as a bunch of adjustments to Thor. Wholly believable that they would have reconsidered Sentinel over the *months* that they were still holding event tournaments and internal QA... I mean come on.
You're right, it's just a coincidence that in all that time spent balance testing up to the release of the game, Sentinel's health was the
only balance change they found necessary, and by a 30% drop, and it just happens to coincide with the most complained about character in the game.
I'm the conspiracy theorist though, right?
Oh, the flipside of the situation is that Capcom has turned into a complete black hole after the game shipped. That's no good either.
To be fair, it's a company and their marketing and PR staff have to go to work planning the next hype festival down the road. (Like Captivate.) But the degree to which they "shipped it and forgot it" was pretty conspicuous.
I'll hold off until Captivate to judge. It would make sense for them to hold all their goodies for their big event to increase the number of spectators. There has been the bug patch already, and Capcom has said they are aware of our concerns about the matchmaking system, so it hasn't been all dark and silent.
Fuck man... I am rehearsing Doom combos in my head in real life. :/
DAT MAHVEL CRACK!
Erm, don't we all do this all day? I thought that was normal!
I got matched with this guy beat him twice in player match and then he send me a message saying "Get a life"
We get matched again he beats me once and he says "PWNED, YOU SALTY NOW" and leaves. I never trashed talked or anything i just sent him a message saying "GG"
Why even act like that? People act like babies online. Call me a loser without a life because i beat you in two matches and then trash talk me when you win one match and then leave?
XBL? My PSN experiences are pretty good. Last night I played a guy for 3 matches, and he stomped me the first two and I stomped him the third, then I left because I realized it was past 10PM and I need sleep for work. I started typing him a message apologizing for skipping out after a win (I feel this is poor sportsmanship), only to find out he already messaged me "GGs, we should play again sometime".
Most of my messages from people are usually in pretty good spirits. The people I face off evenly with tend to wish me GGs and want to play in the future, the people I slaughter tend to compliment my play, and the people that slaughter me usually don't say anything.
In other news, just dropped nearly $500 in production equipment and other things for a future episode of The Online Warrior. Really hope it's well received when all's said and done.
I watch all of your episodes just for the gameplay - sound is always off. Keep them semi-short; the length of Marvelous Adventures deters me from watching it.
I wish Dormmamu could stock spells and use Liberation in the air. His runaway game would be so godlike.
While this would be awesome, I would be just be happy with aerial Dark Hole not making him defenseless for his entire trip down, and for him having some way to hitconfirm on crouching characters.
