Gah! For just a quick second, I fell for that fake Nintendo Europe tweet announcing Wolf at SDCC. 
Have funnnn
I really want to talk to one of those asshole roll spammers on For Glory and find out if they actually enjoy playing that way or think it works.
Like I can understand people doing it in the 1st couple months since a lot of people probably didn't know how to deal with it, but now surely they know it doesn't work against a half-decent player.
I'm guessing the only reason they do it is to troll and just piss people off. And try to make them ragequit or something.
I'm saying this because I just played against a Megaman/Samus player who literally did nothing but roll across the stage and charge attack or try to grab. It didn't work out for him obviously, and before he left he called me a spammer. He probably didn't like me always grabbing out of a roll with ZSS.

To me it seems their understanding of the game and it's effective strategies rely on constantly dodging to move around - I mean - you're invulnerable most of the time right? There's a lot of bad players out there and it'll be effective. Hell it can even be effective against decent players, just today a roll happy laggy toon link gave me a lot of trouble with Lucina so I see where they come from.
The thing that bothers me are sore losers or bad winners with disrespectiful tags

I don't think they are trolling. A guy attended our locals a month or so ago and played that way as Samus. Nothing but rolls and projectile spam. Not even grabs. He almost beat me the first match just because I thought "a ha, surely he'll do something else now". Second match, Bowser wrecked him. Third, I hardly got touched. We talked after the match, and he said he just didn't know what else to do.
When I was a little kid, my entire game was Hadokens and Shoryukens. Pretty much flowchart Ken, but I also loved grabbing people because it made them complain so much. In Marvel, I loved Sentinel and Mega man because they had one button projectiles. When MvC3 came out, I started Dormammu by doing nothing but Dark Hole and Purification. It took about six months of serious dedication before I started playing a more intelligent Dormammu, and I used the whole of his character sometime around the one year mark.
I am lucky enough that I knew about web forums and competitive play to watch and improve my game. Not everyone KNOWS how to improve. Someone needs to show them.

GGs, Puruzi.
Well in this particular case I'm certain he was just trying to be an asshole. He grabbed me a couple times with his Samus, would just hold me there and do nothing and then just roll away again. He never attacked me or did anything but roll and try to grab. Not even a Missile or Charge Beam. Though I guess he did taunt me a couple times... Atleast he actually tried to attack when he used Megaman
It's similar to Jigglypuff and Kirby players that do nothing but jump around in the air and not actually attack you, or villagers who just constantly fly around under the stage.
I really do come across a lot of jerks on For Glory.

It has been many months since I have fought the Sword Fighter. I've never even played as one of Wii U.
Yeah, the double DK matches were good. The wind punch is pretty useless in the ditto, but I didn't have anything else with the custom up-B. I like how we both switched out at the same time.

I want to play some traditional fighting games, but I'm tired of SFIV and what else even is there on PC right now?
Who's looking to play this video game instead?

I see you haven't invested in Skullgirls and some old-school KOF.
Athena is the best, just saying.

The ports were cheap at the Steam sale, but I didn't know enough about playerbase or netcode and I'm never going to be good at King of Fighters anyway.
Skullgirls has just never been very interesting to me.

Well I'm just trying to pamper you before I kick your ass :d
oh shit smack talk in here
Oh, made the room at the same time it seems, flux you wanna play me for a bit? No smack talk I swear
You both have separate rooms.
We played earlier, but I guess we can play again.
Edit: Wait, nvm, you joined Snacks'.
I'll play.
edit: gonna be trying my other control scheme though. haven't tested it in real matches yet.
Room's up!

I'm feeling like nobody has the slightest, tiniest idea how to take advantage of Ryu's moveset.

Anyone up for 2v2's? We've got two.
Have you played commander pepper? I thought he was pretty good with Ryu.

Can I fight flux then?
Edit: Oh, there's Shamrock. Still looking for 1v1's? I'd like to play you.
Ha, if you don't feel right, it might be best to stop playing. I've leveled up a lot since we last fought, too.
Edit: Alright, GGs Boney.
I can play you Spirit Icana, I just need to add you first. I'll host.
Wait, what's your NNID? Mine's FluxWaveZ.

Playing Snacks right now but I'd be happy to play you after
Yeah definately, I'm dozing off and not doing anything, sorry for wasting your time and leaving you partner less flux, but I gotta bail. (Icana patching up, yay) First day at the gym today since over a year and I'm super beat.
Hopefully we can play again soon, this is not a representation of how I'm playing
You're playing super good but at this level even my mom could beat me

I think maybe it would be pretty close to even, maybe? Except that Ness can consistently KO at 100% and Lucas can't.
It's making this feel really insurmountable.

I have no idea how to win this matchup. Just feels like Ness's punishes are so incredibly strong and easy to land it's such an uphill battle, and I don't even know what to do. If you don't space perfectly, every single mistake is 20 damage and completely losing stage control.
Shamrock7r
Member
Yea, that's the difference that puts it in Ness' edge.
It seems like Lucas is the one who controls the tempo of the match, and can more easily hit Ness with percentage building moves, but when Ness get's Lucas in a situation, he racks up damage on Lucas quickly.
edit: After this match, why don't you switch to Ness, I will go Lucas and we will see if I can figure something out, because I don't think I've done a vs Ness match as Lucas yet.

I'm going to switch some controls, be right back.

I haven't played Ness since before Lucas came out, why can't he throw a snake?
I can't play him well at all.

Ness wants nothing to do with that Snake, lol
edit: you can pick whoever you want
I'm up to play if anyone wants.
Because Sakurai already threw Snake
