Is this a joke post or something?

Nope. I was getting AE based on percieved increased game depth and higher skill ceiling with the hope that you now had multiple options on character selection rollout. If that's true, it's the same shit and I have no interest in playing it. Sticking to GG and DBFZ.

LOL! I guess you were joking but I think Tekken has been going strong. I've been thinking perhaps Tekken is the most 'defensive' fighting game I can think of (besides Smash). Since in Tekken as long as you block high you won't get caught up in some excessively long combo.

I really dig MvCI but rubs me the wrong way it just feels like a combo spammer paradise. If you're blocking, you're losing. Everyone hops all around this tiny little play area. Just not really feeling it much lately. I do love the Tag system though. But it feels like it's almost all offense

I am wondering how DBFZ will play out but thinking in the meanwhile I'll probably just be playing T7 more

Tekken 7 is great although it has issues. Yeah it's all a joke. Putting work into one of those "dead" games now.

Not having multiple v-skills is a minor disappointment but I don't get being mad at a lack of multiple critical arts.

Why would I care about costumes for characters I probably wont play long term? At the end of the day most people stick to 2-3 characters at most so a bunch of "real money" costumes does nothing. Stages have better long term value because they are used by everyone using any character. Being able to jump in with as little as effort as possible to experience as much of the game as possible maybe throwing some extra cash at a cool costume you like and want to show off that yeah this is my character! Is far better than grinding out a bunch of in game currency having a bunch of alt costumes you dont care about then spending said currency on a background which at the end of it all that does not feel special for time investment

It's not really a grind, you're gonna get a buncha FM just by playing the game normally. It's a grind if you're not actually interested in playing SFV.

But it's interesting to see your perspective. Personally, I've barely unlocked any stages because I always see them anyhow when I play other people online who have unlocked them on their end.

So fuck Capcom because the game doesn't have stuff nobody ever said it was gonna have? lol. AE does have additional V-Triggers, though. So that's some "increased depth/ceiling" according to your logic. But I'm guessing "fuck Capcom" anyway.

Multiple v-triggers is a good first step. I completely forgot about that shit. Honestly, not too hyped for AE, period. I doubt they'll do the work to fix the game such as fixing normal hitboxes.

So who is planning on competing in DBFZ? I think it'll have the most competition out of the anime game community and will lead to better anime players in the west. At least, that's my hope.

I've wanted to tell the staff how much I love Community Spotlight. One concern I had was that the community threads would be in the dead forum and and wouldn't get much traffic so you guys doing this has been really awesome.

After a marathon of BlazBlue Saturday (fuck Es, by the way), he suggested I should play Nine.

Too bad when I play Nine, I am just hitting buttons and throwing out random spells. How the hell can people keep all these spells straight in mid match (unless there are only a few I should be using).

For that reason I also hope Nine makes it to Cross Tag so I don't have to learn anyone new

You don't memorize spells so much as you memorize blockstrings and what spells they give you. As you master her, you will fish for spells. Creating a mental heuristic is helpful. For example, WWF summons the fairy, but WFF summons the rock. I think of the extra fire as "hardening" my magic into a rock, while a fairy is more fluid like water.

Aren't MP DPs invincible while used as anti-airs anyway!

They are. DPs are reliable as Anti airs, and the situations where they aren't are situations where being fully invincible probably isnt going to help much.

I'm bad at SF but there's arcade around here that does free play for a flat rate. Daytona USA was taken up most of the time so I wandered around till something caught my eye. It was SFA3. I kept playing as Sakura...and at least started to get the hang of it. I've always been bad with the circle, shory movements etc and breadth of options in SF but just being able to grind out time definitely helped. Not saying I'm good or anything but at least thinking about what I want to do and can sometimes pull it off. I want to continue with it.

learning how to properly AA is an important part of learning how to play fighting games and will help someone go far instead of relying on a crutch like an invincible reversal

What in the world does this have to do with proper AA? Most people who can AA with normals can do it with a DP. This reminds me of the time you said you put ketchup on curry. I can't take anything you say seriously now!

So I tried my hand at MKX online and I'm getting destroyed by endless juggling combos in the corner that do 40-45% damage.

I'm loving it, since I think I can pull those off if I work hard enough, some guy destroyed me with the relentless Jason and I liked it better than the usual slasher one I pick.
