Doesn't have to be Bob. It could've been Heihachi for 11,950BP.
Btw I don't get this "anchor" stuff, like you're playing one character and an assist. My second character is as much important as the first. Since you tag all the time there isn't really first and second.
your anchor is the character that rounds out your play, it doesn't imply that the character is worse.
Some characters are much better as anchor. King, for example. Also I always play Vega on point. Good pokes for easy tag ins.
The order isn't as important as it is in Marvel or KOF, but matters.
Last mission in the challenge mode is to beat every single story mode team in the game with one health bar (and you regenerate like 15% after each battle)....
Pretty tedious.
EDIT: Done! found an AI hole and abused the hell out of it! Feels dirty though. Pretty much done with all the single player content for this game.

Fuuuuu got to the 2nd last team (Kaz/Nina) and died!! FUUUUUU

Why would you ever use the gems that cut incoming damage by 10% when you can get a gem with the same duration and activation criteria that just cuts 100 damage flat on each hit
Also, what the fuck is up with gems 47 and 48? Both have the exact same effect of cutting incoming damage by 20%, they activate by the same criteria, have the same duration, but 47 cuts YOUR damage by 10% as well. The only use I see is using both of them at the same time...
If you throw Raven's projectile while he's airborne the CPU will usually manage to jump INTO it, because it is seemingly trying to jump over what it thinks is a projectile that travels across the ground.

just jab his dive kicks
He IS stupid as fuck though. Probably the dumbest character in the game.
At least his EX snake strike doesn't do super combo levels of damage in this game :lol

its not 100 damage each hit, its 100 damage total. i think a better word would be a 100 damage shield or absorption. that being said, 10% reduction means you need to take 1000 damage to equal the same amount, which sounds a bit ridiculous considering most characters have around 1000 hp. so in any case, its still not as good. i haven't bothered to test this because i'd rather just use the fortitude gems, but i would like to think that the reduction kicks in before scaling. so a 500 damage combo isn't reduced by 50, but rather 10% of whatever the amount of unscaled damage it would've done.
also, its important to note that when the dlc gems release. lv2 and lv3 fortitudes are 130 and 160. compared to the lv2 and lv3 iron wall gems which are 20% and 30%. 30% reduction sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
yes, that is likely the reason; gem stacking.
yup yups, same with akuma's air fireball.

OMG, I still remember that shit. Jumping round house into EX Snake Strike = 370 damage. Losing the air to air to Rufus in Vanilla SF4 was much scarier than anything in SFxT for the cost of 1 bar. You have no back up character to tag in.

Someone on SRK said they took out Xiaoyu's cr.hk loop? Can anyone confirm?
If so then lol. That's like the only good thing about her.

The more damage you take, the better the Iron Wall gems will be over fortitude ones. It's pretty good for when you want to go in and you'll know it's messy or if someone has a power gem and you want to counteract the boost from it. And yeah, the level 2 Forts are 130 and 160. The 20% Iron Wall alone is as good as the level 2 and 3 Forts in the long run. The 30% is even better.
Additionally, the Fort gems occasionally have more offensive activations meaning you can end up activating it and not using it before it runs out.

Is the sound fixed yet?
Looks that way so far... but I definitely fear it came at a cost. Won't make a final declaration until I've played some more.
Go to the gem select screen after you pick your character and tap left to get an empty gem loadout. From there you can press triangle to choose your gems.
Is it me or does the gem selection seem like it would take just as long the other way? You have to scroll through every number just to find your gem so if you were to pick gems in the 100s (like meter gems) then it will take at least 2-4 mins. So much for the tournament patch...
Played a few matches, no sound drops.

I think they said the L/R triggers should skip through numbers faster?
Thats working for everyone?! In all modes? Training, Arcade, Network? I can't make it work.... ¬¬
No 3º spot on the gems unit with empty blocks...
and on the contrary, it still feels like a laggy piece of shit for me
For mine, at least, its before the 1st gem slot, not after the 2nd gem.

Someone messaged me after I won a match saying if I knew how to play without juggles. He was actually mad I used the games main mechanics. He was ryu/ken though

People got mad at me because I knew combos. People b people
God damn I felt good tonight. Beat my buddy like 15 to 4 or some shit using Kazuya/Heiachi.
One match in particular he was bout to win, but both of my 20% power gems activated and I got a neutral round house, crouch fierce ex hook, crouch fierce, super. Good bye almost 900 health.
Hitting EWGF's too online.
Feels good man.

Where do you live and what is your internet bandwidth limits?
Are you still doing endless for playing? I tried ranked/endless and ranked always felt better for me, and your connection is better than mine.
I did some ranked and it was horrible outside of the two four bars I got. Three bars used to be playable
I kind of really hate playing Ranked now. I'm closing in on 6k BP, I always search for same skill and occasionally more skilled. I keep getting people who only mash LP into ABC launcher into some lame combo (like lp, lp, cr mk, special/super/cross art). All day every fucking day. It's kinda infuriating.
Like, JESUS CHRIST CAN YOU AT LEAST DO A COMBO OR A LINK OR SOMETHING?
I don't even lose to that kind of stuff, I just don't find it fun to play against people who only know the abc and nothing more, and that's all I seem to get matched against.
