Doesn't seem like its worth the tag unless you are trying to push them to the corner or you really need to get your point character out.

Its a similar reason why I think hwoarangs EX hunting hawk is a pretty pointless move

 

[HardRojo]

I just started playing SFxT today, I have played in the past but just a little so I'm pretty much new to this game, is there a way to turn quick combos off? I never liked them and I was having trouble earlier while trying some AE style kara throws... I just want to disable these stupid quick combos!! AAARGGH!

It does 100 less damage if you dont tag out, you wouldnt use that combo in the first place if you wanted to do something solo

Delete your save data and create a new one - it should set the QCs to disabled and give you the 5 basic gem sets.

EX Hunting Hawk is good for solo combos. It's 450-500 depending on what you start with it. About 400 if you start with a Low attack. Tagging in your partner isn't always optimal because they may have low life or it puts you in a bad position doing so. It's not recommended for the corner though.

Tag combos are great but there are times when doing a solo combo is the far more optimal solution to a situation. Bad match-ups, you want to heal life on a character, you want to get the most out of your gems, etc. It's a very unexplored element to the game so far but when folks start taking it more seriously, tagging in a for combo at the wrong time can cost you the match.

Does that delete custom colors or player points?

Colors yes, no idea on PP.

 

[Kai Ozu]

Just got this for Vita, pretty hot looking.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Colors yes, no idea on PP.

Points are binded to your gamer tag so that comes back after you connect via network mode.

 

[Shouta]

You lose the plates you've earned from beating arcade mode or playing online though your BP stays the same.

I just created the save data today, it was the first time I played SFxT on my PS3, should I try and delete the data anyway?

 

[DarkSloth]

Okay, cool. Thanks guys.

 

[kirblar]

Yes. It loaded up the SFxT 2012 initial info before the 2013 patch got downloaded.

 

[HardRojo]

Ah well I had already completed the trials for some characters

Edit: Basically set both Quick Combo slots to Preset combo 1 right? Was it that hard for Capcom to put a "Quick Combo ON/OFF" option in the Options menu?

 

[biosnake20]

Yo damn

Eh, you can always re-do them. Having access to the pre-sets is helpful if you want to ever do tournament play

Yes, unfortunately -it's hard to code in something like that after the fact- they had to backdoor it.

 

[Grifter]

Are the pre-sets off by default? I deleted my save and haven't checked that.

When you charge up to an EX move and dash out, is your very next move a counter hit like Tekken?

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Yeah it's a counter hit.

 

[kirblar]

Yup- there are a lot of other little touches from Tekken hidden in there.

 

[Grifter]

Next move or next connected?

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Next move or next connected?

Next move. You whiff, you lose the counter hit store.

 

[Toge]

how do you fight good ogres? :-( feels like playing seth in the first month of sf4 lol :-(

 

[HardRojo]

Yeah it's a counter hit.

Ah, that's the reason I saw Dieminion charging up his moves with Hwoarang and Raven then cancelling before the mixup, what are the benefits of a counter hit in this game?

 

[Zukuu]

Don't press low hitting buttons or try to jump after his moves. I think keeping him out works best. His Hunting Hawk (and another string) is actually glitched. While he has to wait 3 frames until he can act again after the 2nd hit, while you can, you can't punish him with 3F moves. (he can block it for some reason) so technically it's -2 punish wise, and -3 option wise.

 

[FindMyFarms]

huh? u have to delete data to turn off quick combos?

 

[kirblar]

huh? u have to delete data to turn off quick combos?

It sets all the quick combos to off and gives you the tournament gem set pre-loads. It's just easier than doing it manually.

 

[Zukuu]

You can just manually set both quick combos to "preset 1" - it's empty.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Bought this for Vita. Runs great. Online is a little laggy. I hate how the intro char animations lag on the system online.

Also can barely find games and I'm looking for both PS3 and Vita opponents. No one plays this on PS3 I guess. :-/

 

[sp3ctr3]

I play Ogre but am no expert. Here's my findings anyway...

I think the best thing you can do is play keep away. Ogre has no ranged attacks and his movement speed is slow. It's the worst thing I know when I play online, chasing people down. Maybe I don't know how to, but it's a lot harder playing a keep away opponent than a rush down opponent.

 

[QisTopTier]

Maybe I don't know how to, but it's a lot harder playing a keep away opponent than a rush down opponent.

He's designed to punish and mix up not rush down. So yeah :lol

Yo damn

Lol

Quite the opposite. I think it's just that people on PS3 are used to setting up their matchmaking filters to exclude vita players

 

[Horseress]

Yo damn

DAMMMMN, I love this game <3~~

This seems to be some kind of network glitch on Vita- if you see 1-2 lobbies or nothing, just exit out of the network mode (or the game) and go back in.

 

[Zukuu]

the search is frigging terrible. Their algorithm and connection to the master server seems HEAVILY flawed. You don't even get a portion of available lobbies. Even if you KNOW that there is a lobby available with space, you can search all you want, and may never find it.

 

[Kioshen]

and yet this game is supposed to have one of the best netcodes that we have. *sigh*

 

[Teknopathetic]

"and yet this game is supposed to have one of the best netcodes that we have. *sigh*"


Says who?

 

[Xevren]

Yeah it's not even close to being the best.

I didn't know this, just assumed it had a glitch for "Opponent System" where I set to Any, and I almost exclusively get matched with other Vitaers.

And man, the DCing in this game has got to stop! Grarrrgh

 

[Horseress]

Yeah it's not even close to being the best.

Counting only Capcom games, it's only worst than SFIV, it's WAY better than Marvel's

 

[SUPARSTARX]

SFxT netcode is not bad. I'd say it's only behind TTT2 and SCV for sure.

 

[Grifter]

Tourney tomorrow, haven't entered one for this game since this time last year, where I got third and both of the top 2 played Raven. Now I'm prob irrationally worried about facing that character.

 

[Zukuu]

Netcode != Search

The net code is decent enough.

 

[Xevren]

SFxT netcode is not bad. I'd say it's only behind TTT2 and SCV for sure.

Also VF 5 FS. It's not bad, just not great either.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Yes! That game has great netcode too. Though I don't remember what happens when the game lags in matches. Slowdowns are worse than a few teleports.

 

[Prozel]

Ordered this game online for my PS3 for about 50,- DKK (Around 10$) and should receive it on Monday. I look forward to try even though I really, really suck at fighting games. I mean, last game was probably Tekken 3 but oh well.

 

[Toge]

thanks for the ogre advice guys.

any UK players?

 

[Shouta]

Netcode when this game has a great connection it is ok, when it's gone to shit, well, it goes to shit badly.

Most games need to work better on less than a stellar connection. This one rollbacks and frame drops like mad though, gwargh.

 

[Nyoro SF]

It would be a far smaller issue if I could pick who to play in ranked like I can in SF4. I liked being able to sort by connection.

Also no option to kick people out of your lobby in ranked... you have to go back to the online options menu and re-search from there.

It's just such a shoddy laggy system. I'm done with it personally.

 

[EsotericManiac]

Lost my 63 ranked win streak today

 

[Krackatoa]

Rollback code is still better than no rollback code. After one hit, my Dudley combos preserve timing? Awesome. Links all over the place.

Also, is Dudley's HP.MG blow really as good as it seems when it's Tag Cancelled on Block? Free-Super-Ambiguous Crossup? Unless they Alpha Counter, obviously. Also, Some of the beefiest tag combos on top of it all.
