I'm bleeding points to fucking Guiles and Juris that I never played before.

 

[tintin1029]

Playing BlazBlue made me realize just how much I appreciate the ranked matchmaking in this game. Since Blazblue and most Anime fighters just don't have one. And if they do, it doesn't matter since no one is playing BBCPEX anyway.

I'm no expert at this game, so it's great that it brings me against people that are about the same level.

Hard to learn match ups for characters you rarely see. They'll steal your points and you'll still be unsure of the match up. It really sucks.

Yeah, theorising opponents weak points to exploit is one thing putting it into practice is another, get bodied and then it's back to facing Ryu's and Ken's again.

FANG is my most terryifying matchup for this reason.

 

[JayEH]

Isn't there a story reason for the changed effects for Juri?

The real reason is when they gave her the latex they changed her effects to black.

This bundle has a 45% off SFV coupon for "$1 (about €0.88) or more!"

 

[Shadow_Lord]

What a rough day. I think I lost 400 or 500 points total so far. I'd rather fight Ryu or Ken than one of the super obscure MUs now.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

The real reason is when they gave her the latex they changed her effects to black.

I wonder if they just thought a colored effect would look bad with a lot of her color options so they picked something that would go with anything.

 

[Coda]

The biggest thing I've noticed (which probably isn't that big, I don't know) is that there is no pause for every hit like there is in SF.

I don't think Tekken pauses either.

Yeah you really have to commit to combos and strings. It's not as pokey of a game or frame intensive as SFV.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

And we've found the winning answer.

I seem to get stuck on the "Connecting..." screen and the one where the whole screen is white. Didn't really happen in the past. Anyone else with similar problems?

Urien incoming????

 

[JayEH]

It's sagat b.

 

[Mizerman]

it's a good game, but having a block button just seems wrong to me for some reason.

not sure I will get injustice either with SFV being out. only reason I got MKX was because SF4 was old in the tooth.

Really looking forward to Tekken 7

Same. Injustice 2 just seems "meh" to me at the moment and with Tekken 7 coming out, it's a low priority at best.

 

[Ame]

Urien incoming????

Urien drops in September.

Edit: I just realized this is somewhat old news.

why are so many people backing out after just one game? you enjoy load times and waiting around so much? so much time wasted.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Could be laggy on their end while appearing to be fine on yours. Or you just got a random streak of one-matchers.

had 4 in a row just now, one of them even wrote hate mail my connection is pretty good i think.

I'll never get to silver with Ibuki T_T

Why is her V-gauge 3 stocks instead of a more manageable 2. Why why why. It wouldn't make it op, it'd make it so v-trigger was an actually viable option for her.

if they're like me they're in the middle of survival and used matchmaking to get them out of losing.

I'm actually really paranoid about this. I wish the game showed pings.

Same here. I would actually like to know if I might be the problem.

 

[Augemitbutter]

i had no laggy games last session. would be really funny if i was lagging everyone!

Spoiler

i doubt it though.

It's just that one lone guy, he's busy.

Does Ken have any way to punish from ranges further than point blank? A good Nash feels unbeatable as Ken.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

It all depends on your connection to them and there's no way to really know what it's like for them. I fought Edzi a couple days ago and it was totally fine for me but shitty on his end.

Even if it is you, there isn't a lot you can do other than generic stuff like reboot your router and relaunch the game, but who knows it that actually helps.

I'm not an expert but I definitely try not to go for frame traps or do a lot of footsies against Nash. I try to knock him out of the air, jump in on booms (carefully), and pressure him on wakeup. But I am mostly talking about silver rank and below so your mileage may vary.

I'm bronze, but just fought a Nash who was block stringing me literally the entire match but every after every ending hit he was always too far away to b+MP. I felt powerless the entire time, like he wouldn't let up but there was nothing I could do to stop him. Eventually I'd miss a block and that was that.

Super aggressive Nash works on me too, but I try to recognize their pattern as fast as possible and also stay out of range/on the move.

can always try v-reversal to see if it trips him up. I hover around silver and sometimes find that v reversal can turn shit around

Tatsu, St HK, cr. HK, st. MP

Nash has the same problem with his stubby hooks.

At least Ken rushes forwards into his combos, making them less likely to whiff on the followup hits. I wish Nash could do that.

 

[bob_arctor]

For the last 2 days I have lost my ability to execute Karin's Orochi off BnB cr.mp to MP with any consistency. Just totally lost it. It's as if the wires in my brain are crossed from doing Tenko juggles. So frustrating. I was doing really well in my execution for a while too. Guess I will take a couple of days off--I have been doing super long sessions in Training, even doing CPU level 8 to try stuff on. Need to refresh/reset.

 

[Durden77]

So what saved data in this game is saved locally? I have 2 PS4's in the house and wanna make sure I don't fuck up my game. Also I always get the "data was failed to upload" message with this game's saved data for some reason. My online storage has plenty of room.

 

[B-Genius]

September, so probably about a month from now.

Nuts. Are we getting anything this month?

At least that gives me a bit more time to play other games. Once Urien hits it's gonna be full on SF time.

Fights, anyone? ID - risottoball

Is there a trick to cancelling balrog dash punches into over head? It seems really tight. Am I just not doing it fast enough?

I'M A BOLROG KILLER TONIGHT!!!

Three Balrogs in a row back to back, each one giving me hell in the beginning but I persevered over all of them in the end. The last one didn't even want the runback.

Also got my 5-0 sets for the night.

Rush them down, he has slow start ups on his moves, and you can stuff most of his attacks before they come out, which is why he gets boned if caught in the corner with his only 2 real options being v reversal or v trigger... Or a Yolo ex scythe between attack strings -_- , punishing Nash after his attacks are really hard.

Defensive keep away Nash's are the bane of my existance, I've got to learn how to constantly apply pressure without predictably jumping in.

 

[Grifter]

What's the use for Balrog's d,u+K non-EX?
