I have got so close so many times. I think I was about <200 pts away once. I stink though.

This is me.

I also haven't played since umvc3 released again. I'll be booting V up tomorrow to shake the rust off for Akuma. I need to get to Gold.

 

[J_Macgrady]

Im stopping ranked once i hit gold. Only 1089 lp to go

I said the same thing. Then I went back and went down to super silver and had to get back up to gold. I want to get to super gold, but I'm playing UMvC3 and KOF14 now.

 

[Cathcart]

Don't see how since the store is game.
Nothing in the store has gone on sale

Oh weird. When I click on the buy character button in game there is an option to buy that character for cash that takes me to the PS Store. But I just checked the store website and it's not there. That's what I was wondering about but I guess it's not a normal PS Store item.

Individual characters haven't gone on sale yet.

Thanks.

It takes you to the ps store because that's what handles the transaction, there is no actual item in the ps store that you are paying for, just a description being passed through by the game.

When does the 2017 pass come out on Steam? It's not PS4 exclusive like the CPT bundle, right?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

It will go up when it's available for purchase

 

[vulva]

Yeah I stopped when I hit Diamond. I just want to get matched up with good players in casual, so that seemed like a good stopping point.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

matchmaking is taking alot longer now. Dead game

Not according to steam spy, which shows business as usual. In fact, MORE people have been playing over the past 2 weeks.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

R mika and Ibuki statues for those interested.

If that was battle costume mika

or decapre

, I might've had to buy my first statue ever.

When's Laura?

 

[Csr]

Yeah for some reason Kens m.Shoryuken works the best. Better tactic imo is to just do constant crossups with a easy confirm to knockdown.

Use ken so you can just mash it without super coming out, don't do anything that isn't srk, so no hadoukens, if you knock them down rush them to the corner.
Bison will always activate vtrigger when he has it, let him waste the meter like an idiot on block then resume srk.

Some chars will punish more than others (laura/sim), just cross these fucks up. Always choose attack up unless you have less than half health, always check if defense up isn't the better option instead of health up, defense up 2 is obv better than health low.

Thanks for the tips, i will try at least once again to complete extreme survival before the balance patch for the fm and the achievement.

 

[lucebuce12]

When's Laura?

Currently doing a guest spot in the popular Blizzard&#8482; game Overwatch&#8482;.

the riots that would ensue if it was PS4 exclusive.

I'd burn this fucker down.

Makes sense, thanks.

Is it just me, or do the all female SF statues by Kotobukiya look similar? They are really nice statues, but they all seem to have the same face.

Came for Akuma, got Rashid vs Ken. Atleast they play on the new stage.

It is the style of Kotobukiya Bishoujo line. Pretty much all of them have same/highly similiar face no matter what franchise they are from.

 

[ColonialHawk]

In case your not watching the WSO stream, they just said that the PSX build is not the final build but then Matt followed it up by saying he is unsure. They are playing on the PSX build currently.

 

[Csr]

Apparently they are going to do a random select tournament first, not sure if Akuma is in this tournament.
I assume it will take a while until the Akuma showcase.

It's not just you, the whole Bishoujo line is based on designs by Shunya Yamashita and his style has some serious sameface going on.

They said akuma at the end.

Thanks for the explanation!
It's a bit of a shame, IMO, since they otherwise model the characters really well.

 

[mnz]

5 matches of Ken vs. Rashid omg

 

[Csr]

5 matches of Ken vs. Rashid omg

With players who don't know how to play Ken or Rashid, it is going to be a long and boring tournament.

 

[JayEH]

Can player 2 go to character select in this build?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Does anyone have any explanation for this? It's with Laura: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y8Pl7lZa-E

The beginning of the video is me doing "CC st.HP xx V-Skill > st.HP xx V-Skill > command grab" twice to show that this is a thing and that I can do it consistently. I can do the final command grab with 90% accuracy right now.

The second part, however, is me doing "CC st.HP xx V-Skill > st.HP xx EX Thunder Clap > st.HP (juggle) xx V-Skill > failed command grab attempt" twice. I have no idea what's going on, but I can only pull off the final command grab at the end of this sequence with 10-20% accuracy, and I'm not convinced it's something fundamental with my execution.

It's like there's something in the game going, "At the end of this sequence, prevent Laura from command grabbing." It's just a V-Skill > command grab like the first part's sequence, but I can never get it down properly. Anyone know what's going on, or can anyone else do this properly?

 

[The Lone Dragon]

They're playing the PSX build, so you may be able to spot some differences if you're eagle eyed.

 

[myco666]

If interested you can check all of them here and compare. It is really shame that they have similiar face and other thing that I dislike is that it is girls-only line so no boys. Would love to get some male cast with equal quality and matching size/design.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Do the command grab motion in the opposite direction. You cross under briefly when you juggle him, and it changes your direction.

Haven't watched the video yet, but yes there are certain buttons that prevent the use of certain moves afterwards and will always do something else if it overlaps with the command you're inputting.

 

[mnz]

Try double tapping Flux and see what happens. I believe I've heard of this problem earlier in the year or even during the beta.

Also, they just said the Akuma introduction video was possibly made with an earlier build. I would've expected the opposite to be honest.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

This was it, thank you. The timing can be a bit odd if you're not on point, but reversing the input makes me land it convincingly now.

No prob, I used to run into that issue all the time with Laura until I figured that out.

Of course, reversing a motion you're used to kinda messes with your brain in the heat of battle, but enough practice will overcome that ^^

Wow, that pad looks hideous.

I just bought a box for $10 on Amazon on a whim. I'd be okay with Mika, though it might not be the best one to put on my desk at work.

 

[mnz]

Throws seem to do very little damage now, looked like 100. Or they went even farther with the difference between forward and back throws!?

Wow with the damage reduction with lower HP it looked even worse. Not sure why you would ever tech from now on...

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

100 isn't "very little"

 

[mbpm1]

100 is notably less than before. That AND throw okizeme being nerfed is interesting

 

[mnz]

That would be a 40% reduction for some characters. Argue semantics all you want lol

And 100 base damage means 75 for low HP:

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

it's not semantics, damage is damage, 120 being good but 100 suddenly being "very little" makes no sense.

 

[Neoxon]

Doing Up + X-Factor for Zangief's Christmas costume ditches the bear pelt.

 

[mbpm1]

Grey health vs gief is being shown on stream now

Just taking two fireballs seems like a very bad idea with v-skill

 

[mnz]

Yeah this new grey damage recovery is awful for Zangief.

it's not semantics, damage is damage, 120 being good but 100 suddenly being "very little" makes no sense.

Wasn't 120 across the board. Many throws did 130 or 140.

 

[mbpm1]

Someone apparently backrolled from lariat.

Maybe the change isn't in effect yet

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

It's less than before, but that still doesn't make 100 damage very little.

Also the damage for forward throws averaged at 120, the average for back throws was 130.
