Everything has glitches. It just depends on whether if it is acceptable or not hahaha. TAC infinites, SF4 unblockables, etc!

So my friend got me a voucher with the 12 extra characters and I started trying to play this again.
How is team Blood Vengeance (Xiaoyu x Alisa)? Alisa is so fun! Elena's surprisingly fun too.

Xiaoyu Alisa can work. Alisa on point, Xiaoyu anchor. Alisa has a very good zoning game in here too and her saw mix ups are not bad.

Good to hear, I might like this team more than Ibuki x Xiaoyu.

Hey all! Got the Vita version for Christmas; I'm now trying to get a feel for the game, and I have to admit that it's a better fit for my style of play than SF4. So far I've been playing mostly Tekken characters, with Paul as one of my faves; I'm thinking of pairing him with Abel.

Hey, I want a voucher too. >=(
Yay @ those King changes. I'm so glad I don't have to waste a slot to the "advanced input" gem to undo that stupid shortcut on his qcb move. And anti-airs! I might come back to this game just for King's changes alone.
Holy crap at that Julia video. The range on that one crouching kick has been reduced so much that her knee was overlapping Chun and it still whiffed.

I never had much trouble to find ranked matches online, and after v2013 releases our online community will be even stronger (and the game will be more fun ^^)
So, welcome to fighting games! Ask us anything and we'll try to help ^^
Thanks! I got the strategy guide and all the info on wtf frame are and why they are important was really eye openning.

They nuked all the characters I like except Yoshimitsu and Ogre. Rolento is going to suck, Akuma got options taken away in exchange for more damage, and Ryu's normals got nerfed pretty bad after seeing the changes video. And Guile also got hit pretty hard with the meter nerf (his worst nerf, in my opinion). Raven also got some of his options taken away in exchange for better normals, but that doesn't excite me.
I don't know, these changes have made all my favorite characters more boring to play. Not excited at all for this patch. Will give the game a try but I think I'll be ditching it quite soon. I feel like I HAVE to play Tekken characters now to have fun, especially after the herp derp they gave Jin, Law, and some others.
Oh, and I bet SF AA's will still trade while Tekken AA's won't. Ridiculous.

There's a lot more punishable stuff in this game with the new version. You guys have to look past the individual nerfs for characters you play and like. It's gonna be good.
That's what I'm talking about, v2013 will be very different then vanilla, so we gotta wait (19 days...)
I'm weird in that I will only play characters whose designs I like. Historically they are low-tier or get nerfed like crazy.
My favs in this game are Guile, Cody, Julia, so yeah. Rough times ahead.
That's not weird. That's how I play. I can usually tell if I will like a character's style based on their design.

Playing the game online to me feels like playing a game in an emulator set to dynamic frame skip.
Nope. The last patch has been sitting on the xbox patch site for weeks. It just hasn't been pushed out officially.

Cody's LK got Guile-d. They don't know the difference between tweak and destroy.

I get what you mean. But now even Guile will have to get in, know what I mean? He can sonic boom a round, sure, but he won't build any meter for it. Once his opponent gets in it'll be over for him. No meter to desperation tag, no meter to alpha counter, and so forth.
The way I interpret these changes is that some characters will just be forced to jump more now, since their ground tools are going to suck (Rolento, anyone?).

I'll probably have to stick pure meter gems on my team. Then again, I'm thinking to start using Ogre x King, I feel like its much more beneficial to play an in-your-face team. Honestly I really liked vanilla SFxT, all it really needed was the boost combo nerf, minor character changes, and a time increase.
This seems very extensive. We'll see in time...

Ground game is going to be a lot cleaner now. Boost combos created far too much ground pressure. Regular poking will still work but you can't just go pressure using LMH and then repeat like it is at the moment. Most of the changes are along those lines, to prevent characters from being so safe and the game from running into timeouts.
Rolento was/is the model character for that. His LP got nerfed awhile back but it didn't solve the problem fully. Infiltration used it quite a bit in at the SF25 event against Seth, just jab jab, into Boost combo to keep Kuma and Law out thus winning by time out unless the opponent pressed buttons for him to do his shitty damage, lol
As for Guile, he gains more meter when you hit a SB now so it'll pay off if you force your opponent to block it. Just throwing it for meter won't be viable. That means if you want to defensively, you need to still control when you throw it so it lands, which is something you want to do normally anyway.

Hmm rather difficult at this point, but basing off how they play now in addition to their buffs/nerfs and how much the systematic changes are... my top ten for Ver2013:
Too Good
Jin - Total package, anti airs, footsie, team synergy, very good on point and anchor positions.
Very Good
Law, Lili, Hwoarang, Nina - Great damage and mix ups with addition of anti airs buffs
Good
Sagat, Zangief, Dhalsim, Kazuya, Heihachi - Still top dogs despite nerfs, just herpy derpy players will not succeed that much with them anymore. Still possess great damage and zoning potential

Cammy totally deserves that s.hk jc nerf. So much derpy pressure.
Poison hugo works well. A lot of the default pairings are not bad at all actually and then some are just paired for story reasons maybe.
The vita vouchers give you extra downloads for ps3. You get a set.
