I like this game but maaaaan, I've been doing so well over the years not getting mad at vidya games but online in Pokken manages to irk me even on the occasions I win.
I suppose it goes back to a point I mentioned the other day where it feels like knowing the various properties of your opponents moves is pretty dang important since otherwise you get snagged by all sorts of stuff that makes you ponder exactly why it happened.
But even then there's numerous occasions where these massive moves get thrown out, I block them and figure "punishment time" except no, there's no punish because so much stuff that to my scrubby mind that seems like it should have some noticeable endlag still manages to give the opponent time to block/initiate throw/start light combo (for some reason a lot of synergy burst specials are like this, except Blaziken, poor Blaziken)
Sometimes I figure that maybe I hold block too long but then that may be because...
Knowing when a combo ends is so important in this game so many times I think the combo is done and it continues but I already dropped block and get punished.
this is another recurring event thus I probably spend a touch more time behind my shield than I should.
I guess in the end it's all part of the learning process, it's just a painful one.
Also had the fun of Machamp vs Braixen earlier, aha,haaaaaaa,
haaaaaaaa JEEZUS
