On one hand, everybody is unsafe as hell. On the other hand, Shiki seems kinda butt. I think it's more to do with her range than safety.

This is my point, they made a close range rushdown character where everything she does is extremely unsafe, and she can't keep her pressure, it's like if they made Nina's sidestep cancel unsafe in Tekken.
Nah, I mean I'll run it back 10 times or more til it's time to quit. It's terrible for my win/loss record when I'm playing a Master Swordsman Genjuro, but I'm having fun and getting experience.
Isn't that how Samurai Shodown 5 was too? I heard the balance was super bad, I've only played SS5 Special, but one thing that game did was improve the balance dramatically. I don't think they'll need to release a new version to accomplish that this time.
On a side note, I never really got into Hanzo in the past but watching some tournaments and watching people play Hanzo has really got me interested, they fulfilled that ninja fantasy pretty well with him and all the little tools he has and the teleporting and wall jumping.
I haven't played the new game yet, but does anyone find it weird that the scaling in the new 3D title has been reduced to almost none? The screen will scale a bit, but nothing like the old games. It was one of the most eye catching features of the original SamSho game. It also feels weird that the ref is not in the background with the flags. What the hell, man?
Right now the biggest buff some characters can get is if the Rage Explosion activation causes a flip-out on aerial opponents.
That's what I do. What rank are you bro? What points range are you in? If you dont mind saying... I ran into my first troll yesterday.. guy seemed like he was weak and let me win 3-4 matches easily and turned up at match 5-7 and I lost like 600 points and he dipped lol
I've had matches go like that and I am bad lol. The players where they've crushed me but I've come back leaned on one tendency too much which took me a bit to learn how to exploit.
Cool.. I'm so happy I main a less popular character. Jubei is the best in the game to me.
I faced a couple Jubeis last night. I'm as vanilla as they come. Hao. I also main Ryu in SF lol.
I'm sick and tired of Galford though. They're usually trash once you get close. I don't want to hear "Go Puppy" anymore lol.
Bought it this morning and tried it out a tiny bit before work
I'm digging it and I can't wait to actually learn it. I'm gonna be juggling this with MK11 so it's an amazing change of pace. I'll probably hop online in a week or two once I'm familiar enough with the mechanics and find a character I jive with.

The UI design for casual lobbies really is a masterclass in cluelessness, isn't? After trying to figure out what was going on and not being able to get in game, I had to look up how the thing worked. Apparently it's not winner stays on automatically, but each new match one of the two players has to choose to give up their spot. This means you might not get to play.
There is a spectator mode, but you have to 'pick a seat' to watch a match, assuming that then players haven't readied up, meaning there's no seat to pick. And of the ten seats for spectators, two are reserved for the people playing. Also for some fucking reason one of the players is called ' Captain'.
Is that right? Even after reading about it, I couldn't understand it.

It seems broken at the moment. Right now it just dumps everyone out of their seats after each match, including spectators. I've tried pressing buttons as winner, loser or spectator during that countdown after a match and nothing happens.
I believe it was Jmcrofts who I saw a way too early tier list from on YouTube. He explained the chars while going through his list.
That patch was a massive fix. I havent had barley any lag in comparison to pre patch.
I reached Brown Belt but feel locked as a middle of the line player. I cant beat those with WR above 55 percent but usually always beat those below 50.

I had one of those 'mash the buttons to keep your sword' things the other day - and both of us ended up keeping our weapons. Whut?
Struggling with the mechanics of this, but I'm really digging it a lot. I'm like 1-10 in ranked and I haven't been able to get too many casual matches in.
Been using Charlotte thus far due to her zoning but I'm not sure I'm gonna stick with her.

Top 8 is on, dtn
Haoh probably 2nd best in game atm. WFT is fast and a great AA, best damage off throw, a solid fb/dp strat, a good jump, 2M is same close and far, cancelable into WFT off it.
Yeah
- Fixed an issue where Ranked matchmaking would have trouble finding opponents.
- Fixed an issue which was causing lag to occur more easily in online matches.
- Fixed other minor issues relating to online modes.
I guess I was more curious about people's anecdotal experience. Does it generally feel better most of the time, or does it just lessen the really bad instances?
1000 percent improvement. Haven't had a very bad match since. I'm in Canada playing matches vs people in France or AUS for example. The patch saved the game for me.
Interesting, thanks.
Might have to pick it up when the first sale happens. Hopefully around Evo.
Any idea how if the Xbox version has any sort of online player base? I imagine the vast majority is on PS4, but I could get it cheaper on Xbox with rewards credit and the res is a bit higher.
