Street Fighter X Tekken/Tekken X Street Fighter

[Drakul]

This is in training, btw.

I can do it at times easily but, other times, it thinks I'm still jabbing.

I've been trying to come up with combos with my usual team of Z & H, as people keep saying that's more or less what you've got to do in this game. The best I've got so far is a 10 or so hit combo that ends with Hugos Ultra or Super or Cross Art, whatever they call it in this game.

I've also figured out a few moves that let me go into Hugos Ultra right after. Zangiefs Ultra is not at all flexible.

[Kalyx triaD]

What's your Gem setup with them?

[Drakul]

Both of them are using 3 strength boost gems each. Including a strength boosts exclusive to the Limited Edition I bought.

[Kalyx triaD]

Do you activate them often?

And would vitality gems be better suited to your problem with combos? These gems combined with damage scaling may mitigate the damage taken, as well as your frustration.

Have you experimented with speed gems on those big guys?

[Fignuts]

Kalyx, when are you playing this again?

[Kalyx triaD]

I know I've been off for a while. Been getting back into Battlefield 3 and SoulCalibur V. I have played yesterday and I'll be back into the groove going forward.

[Drakul]

Do you activate them often?

And would vitality gems be better suited to your problem with combos? These gems combined with damage scaling may mitigate the damage taken, as well as your frustration.

Have you experimented with speed gems on those big guys?

I don't really try to activate them. They have conditions that mean they can easily activate in the natural flow of the fight but they don't always. Sometimes I get the KO before they can activate.

I've tried those gems that are supposed to reduce damage. They don't do a thing. They might absorb one strike but that's it, then they deactivate. If I don't get hit they last about 20 seconds, though.

I've never tried speed gems out on them, no.

There is a gem that say "instant replenishment of EX meter +200". I tried it out, activated it and the EX meter didn't replenish instantly at all or even fill quicker when I did a move.

I've noticed that from time to time. Certain gems don't seem to do anything and I've had the FAB do damage on both suplexes and the piledriver almost all the time but, on 4 or 5 occasions, the suplexes have not done damage but the piledriver still does.

[Fignuts]

Won a handful of matches against Khuntry. He won a lot more.

Still, even a lot of the matches that I lost were relatively close. Probably the best I've ever done against him in this, or in SF4.

My Julia and King in particular did pretty well against him. I'm getting good at mixing up julia's offense to create openings, and tagging in king for the big damage. They might end up replacing Juri and Heihachi as my main.

I've still got a ways to go before I'm at Khuntry's level, but I did learn a few things this time out, so I'm slowly getting there.

[Fignuts]

Not to beat a dead horse, but I reaaaally hope they patch in an unlimited timer for online.

We both won a few time over rounds that could have gone either way. Even when I win, it feels like a hollow victory.

Also, a question:

Has anyone else picked up new characters, simply because their alternate costumes are fucking awesome?

I'm picking up Guile and Cammy, pretty much for that reason.

On a related note, I hope we see some alternates from tekken games. Tekken 4 in particular has some fantastic designs. King, Jin, Xiaoyu, Yoshi, Bryan, Lei, Law, Hwoarang, Julia, and Nina all have great attires, that I would buy as alternates for this game.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sorry couldn't join. Had an offline training session with a friend.

[Drakul]

I can think of a couple of costume ideas they could have gone with.

Tag swap costumes, Chun-Li dressed as Cammy and Cammy dressed as Chun-Li etc. The only issue with that might be with the male/female teams. Jin in a dress and Hugo in Daisy Duke shorts. Adjustments would need to be made.

It could be cool seeing them dress as each other plus you could have them dress in the same outfit for a real "team" look.

Or they could use my earlier animal idea. Ryu as a dragon, Cammy as a cat, Hugo as a rhino(?). Not like Cammys King outfit, Chun-Lis Panda outfit or Zangiefs Kuma outfit but like Bloody Roar.

[Fignuts]

Furries?

ew

[Drakul]

I don't get the hate for anthropomorphic characters, these days.

We loved Mickey Mouse, we loved Sonic & Crash Bandicoot but, suddenly, anything that involves an animal acting like a human gets called "Furry" and dismissed as bad.

What's it all about?

[Drakul]

I was playing online yesterday and facing a B+ & C+ togethor in ranked. I managed to get the B+ down really low and in a corner. I put in the input for the SPD 3 times and the whole time all I did was move back and forth and jump. Hitting HP did nothing.
Has this always happened or is it because of the update?

[Funky Fly]

It's all about the creepy motherfuckers that want to have sex with them.

[Drakul]

Ranked in this game is genuinely infuriating. I shouldn't be fighting people with an A rank that still use assist gems. They need to patch in a "cut off point" for assistance in ranked. So, when you reach, say C or C+, assist gems should no longer work.

In SSFIV, I'd lose a ranked match and it was usually because the guy that beat me was better and I could tell he was just better, of course the game had its spammers and cheap players but, on the whole, it felt "legit" when I lost.
The vast majority of my losses in this game just feels like I'm being cheated over and over again.

[Drakul]

And I'm done.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, I stopped playing ranked a while ago. Much more enjoyable with friends.

[RoXer]

Think I am too but play a few more with me before you quit

[Drakul]

I'm trading in the game between today and Thursday. I have the LE though so I'm not sure how I go about it.

Do I just take the game and the comic book or do I take the arcade money bank I've already assembled too?

[Kalyx triaD]

You return the game when I'm getting back into it. My BP is growing finally.

[Drakul]

I've not traded it in just yet. It's on my "to do" list.

[Fignuts]

You return the game when I'm getting back into it. My BP is growing finally.

Have fun losing all those battle points, when the computer pairs you against several 8,000+ BP players in a row.

[Boomer]

I've not traded it in just yet. It's on my "to do" list.

Hold off on it, my man. Once I get some free time I'm finally free to join in on the action. We need more people playing it, not less.

[RoXer]

Yeah I'm starting back up this weekend probably

[Boomer]

I should have time this weekend too. Don't have any plans currently, and I finally finished up Morrowind. I'll be fucking awful, but I'm in.

[Blitz]

Drak, have you tried playing anyone besides grapplers?

[Kalyx triaD]

My Cammy/Ken team is really shaping up. Asuka is even making sense now. I just had to really let loose with the game, I guess. Finally found a rather expensive projectile dodge for Asuka (EX elbow strike). Kinda wish it dodged for free but whatever.

Might get back on Chun Li after some fun offline sessions.

[Drakul]

Hold off on it, my man. Once I get some free time I'm finally free to join in on the action. We need more people playing it, not less.

Then they should have made the game less spleen burstingly annoying.

Drak, have you tried playing anyone besides grapplers?

BLASPHEMY!

Seriously, though, I've played as Yoshimitsu, Poison, Sagat and Rolento quite a bit with a bit of Akuma, here and there. Paul once in a while but he's mostly offline.
I've played everyone on the SF cast a few times but the names above, along with Zangief & Hugo, are the ones I've played the most.

[Fignuts]

Fuck Heihachi. Maining Julia from now on.

[Kalyx triaD]

That works.

[Kalyx triaD]

Nina is joining my stable.

[Fignuts]

Me and Khuntry are having absolute wars.

Where are you, Kalyx?

[Kalyx triaD]

Buddy's still on Battlefield 3. Ugh.

[Fignuts]

Nina is joining my stable.


Nina is fun to use, but she's a bit lacking in certain areas.

[RoXer]

Thinking of getting rid of this

[Kalyx triaD]

Try the new gems first.

[Fignuts]

I'm loving this game. Wish everyone wasn't ditching it.

Roxer, why are you getting rid of it?

[Kalyx triaD]

There's a gem combination that can make Cammy a real bitch.

[Fignuts]

Are they out yet? I thought a bunch of new gems were supposed to come out with the costumes, but there aren't any in the store, last I checked.

Also, I'm down for a session right now, if you want to play.

[Kalyx triaD]

My bud, as usual, is on Battlefield 3. The new gems are already in there just head to the station. Some new ways to get boosts. A few bullshit ones that invalidate older gems. New assist stuff for the little sisters of the world. Pandora and Cross Assault extenders should be interesting but very costly (a whole gem slot).

[Fignuts]

Oh boy, an extender for cross assault. So it can be utterly useless for another 10 seconds?

I'll probably be on for another couple hours if your friend decides he's done shooting people.

[Fignuts]

So is everyone done with this or something?

[Kalyx triaD]

Hell no.

[Boomer]

Nah, I'm not. Just had other gaming priorities, I guess.

[Kalyx triaD]

Putting some of those new gems to work. Wanna see them in action.

[Blitz]

Warriors Orochi 3 sidelined me, but I should be around.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sorry I didn't arrive. Was having an unusually hype extended session with my roommate. He's coming to gripes with his Chun/Steve team and I'm making sure Cammy is the biggest bitch ever. We found some interesting uses for Pandora; the extender gem works well and gives you time to lock down a runaway. He found that activating Pandora in response gives him the life buff to defend himself while my time runs out. It was fun.

Asuka's really finding her way, I can't wait to see how she fares against you guys. Nina is so good, I will pick her back in Tekken. She's relentless. Will be online this week for some lobbies if I can.

[Fignuts]

New gems and colors are out.

2 sets of gems exclusively for SF characters, and the same for Tekken.

One normal set of colors and one special. Special isn't chrome, but this shiny plastic look. Kind of like hakan when he's oiled up. Interesting that when I went to use them, there were actually 8 special colors but I could only access 4. Clicking on the locked one brought me to the pack that I already purchased. Downloading it again didn't unlock it. Hope they fix it because I want the red one.

New normal colors are blue, purple, pink, and yellow. All a very slight shade lighter or darker than the ones we already have. Kind of dissapointing, as I was hoping for orange, or a darker red or blue. Or a more vibrant white that doesn't look grey.

[Kalyx triaD]

Had a 4plyr session with the roommates. Kalyx/Jazzi beat down D-Rep/Wolf rather convincingly with a Cammy/Nina team. Their Steve/Law team is finding their footing, though.

[Fignuts]

Dude should be commended for even attempting Steve. Guy is so hard to use, with very little going for him.

I'm trying, just because I like the idea of his playstyle, but I'm expecting buffs in the near future, to say the least.

[Kalyx triaD]

Steve looks like he can throw a good pressure game, and projectiles should mean squat to him.

[Fignuts]

I don't understand how to get out of pressure.

link combo, cross up, link combo, cross up etc.

When they don't jump in, they are far enough away after the link that I can't jump in.

Getting ass raped all the time is getting frustrating.

[Drakul]

[Fignuts]

Nah I still have a blast playing with Funky's brother, and will likely have fun with a few other tpww posters.

[Drakul]

It is an insanely frustrating game, though.

[Fignuts]

Not with the right people. At least with my experience playing the game. Kalyx, Blitz, Roxer are all fun matches.

Even Khuntry, even though he uses that high pressure stuff a lot, and wins most matches, they are usually pretty close, and I still have fun.

My biggest gripe is still not being able to set an infinite timer. that is a definite issue.

[Blitz]

Rolling completely nullify cross-ups though.

[Kalyx triaD]

Wanna bet?

[Fignuts]

I'm talking about on block. These link combos that are really difficult to punish, if at all possible, and then they follow with the cross up and repeat the whole thing.

You can go for a DP as soon as the link finishes, but if they don't cross up, then you get punished hard.

dunno

[Fignuts]

Also, rolling isn't invincible, fyi. There is a very small frame in which you can get hit out of it. I only use it if I know I'm safe.

[Kalyx triaD]

We all have to remember alpha counters are in the game. I forget a lot, but I'm doing it more often against pressure.

[Kalyx triaD]

Had a great session with Fignuts and Khuntry last night. Khuntry after me and Fignuts 'traded ideals'. It was back and forth, then Khuntry came and I kinda lost some steam with too many mistakes.

Got caught with Fignuts King counters a lot. Had to reassess myself after a few rounds. Cammy's jump cancel cross-up barrage is doing well, but Fugnuts adjusted to it fairly quickly. Gonna add some new branches to it to mix it up. And for the record, the neutral jump is always a mistake - I would cross-up all day otherwise, especially with speed gems all on.

Watching Khuntry pick up Cammy is interesting to me, as his approach is different. His Raven is just unusual. Like Abel in SSF4 I just go blank and have no idea how to begin fighting him.

Heihachi's fireball deflection is indeed news to me.

Had an interesting moment where I activated Pandora on Nina and I damn near won. I should have finished that juggle with a special, but perhaps the time would have run out anyway.

I promise my Asuka is better than what you seen. Off night for me and her. Jin was also blah but I just wasn't excited to play him last night. I was on him 24/7 at launch but now I'm more interested in where I can take Nina and Asuka.

Ken is Ken and Cammy does what she does.

[Funky Fly]

I literally haven't touched this game from like 3 weeks after I got it. Just not feeling it.

[Fignuts]

booooooo

[Fignuts]

I think with any combination, of Juri, Julia, Ryu, Heihachi, and King, I can do really well. Outside of that circle though, I'm definitely lacking. I want to add a couple more characters to my main stable, but I'm not sure who.

[Funky Fly]

booooooo

Don't give me that shit, I barely even like this game. I should go trade it in before it becomes completely worthless, but I'm waiting for the character DLC to drop since 6 of the 12, I'm actually really likely to use and I wanna give it one last chance..

[Fignuts]

What don't you like about it?

Also, I only say boooooo because you are one of my favorite sparring partners, and this is my favorite game atm.

[Fignuts]

Also, you do know the dlc characters don't come out till the fall, right?

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, just checked that today. Probably gonna trade it in for Kingdoms of Amalur. Not been gaming a lot on the whole lately, as my irl social life has kinda gotten outta control. Any time you see me online I'm either doing a couple of missions here and there on Mass Effect 2, playing online in Mass Effect 3 or watching The Boondocks or Fist of the North Star on Crackle while horribly hungover.

I miss the old SSF4 lobbies, but this game just doesn't do it for me. It's comborific, which is all good, but it feels weird and off to me somehow. Plus I fucking hate that they still haven't fixed the analog stick jumping issue. Nothing like getting ready to punish a guy from the air only to jump straight up and eat a 15 hit combo.

[Kalyx triaD]

Things are getting hot, dude.

[Funky Fly]

Doesn't matter. I can probably get $40 for this shit, plus with a few random old games I intend to trade in, I'll come out with a brand new game for free.

[RoXer]

I'm getting rid of this on Monday most likely but I'm up for some decision-altering sessions if anyone wants to play over the weekend

[Kalyx triaD]

I may be on, but if the game's not doing it for you don't play something you don't like because others are. I dropped MW3 after a few days and much of my friendslist are still on the shit.

[RoXer]

Oh don't worry, there's about a 90% chance it's going out on Monday.

But I'm going to give it one last session and if something clicks than there's a small possibility I'll keep it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Then I'll need to tussle with you before you retire.

[Drakul]

I might finally trade it in as well. I've not touched it since I got SCV. My only confusion is what do I trade it in with? It's the LE but I've used the DLC and built the money bank. Do I just trade it in with the "comic book" or do I cram the bank in their too?

Never thought I'd play an SF game I didn't like or one that I could say a 3D fighter is better than (I'm a 2D fighter at heart.) but SCV is a hundred times better than SFxT.

When I'm not playing SCV, I'm playing Wolfenstien 3D so I wont be playing SFxT for a long time.

Word, I definitely dig SCV more, and I barely play that game. Speaks volumes.

As for trade ins around here, generally with the collectors edition of a game you need to present the disc, the case and the manual for the full trade in value. If you're missing the manual or the case they lower the value by a few dollars. Plus, you could always call the store and ask.

[Blitz]

Since this is the most recent Street Fighter related thread, I'll just leave this here.

http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/227919-sf1.jpg

For Street Fighter's 25th anniversary, Capcom is going to put out a sizable collector's set that includes multiple games, movies, music, and more. The package, which will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for $149.99, is due out on September 18, 2012.

The full list of goodies can be found below, but I feel compelled to point out that this comes with Ryu's belt. I didn't know I needed such a thing until now, but I really, really do.

Capcom has also revealed the tentative schedule for its 25th anniversary global tournament series that's taking place throughout the rest of this year. $500,000 and plenty of other non-cash prizes are up for grabs, so you know they mean business.

The limited edition Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set includes:

Past and Present Street Fighter Games – Playable on current gen PS3™ and Xbox 360 console systems, the four critically-acclaimed titles selected from the star-studded catalog are: Super Street Fighter® II Turbo HD Remix, Street Fighter® III 3rd Strike Online Edition, Super Street Fighter® IV Arcade Edition with all costume DLC, and Street Fighter® X Tekken® including all character and Swap Costume DLC.

Exclusive Video – The two-disc Blu-Ray set includes a documentary that highlights the profound influence the franchise has had on fans - and vice versa - throughout the years. The collection of videos also includes Street Fighter®IV and Super Street Fighter®IV Anime movies as well as all episodes of the Street Fighter animated series and Street Fighter®II: The Animated Movie.

Light-up Ryu Statue – A specially commissioned and highly-detailed collectable Ryu statue stands prominently at 8” tall and features the iconic character in mid-Shoryuken, with flames lit from below.

11-Disc Soundtrack – Street Fighter game music spanning the past 25 years, in addition to remixes and fan-created music inspired by past Street Fighter games .

64-page Hardcover Art Book – A tribute to Street Fighter game fans from all over the world, the art book includes fan pieces submitted by professional and aspiring artists alike.

Ryu’s Belt – Created to regulation specs, the full-size martial arts black belt is a replica of the one Ryu wears and even includes his classic "Fūrinkazan" in kanji!

Certificate of Authenticity – Each Collector’s Set comes individually numbered complete with a certificate of authenticity.


That's actually kind of awesome for $150. If I didn't already have all those games, that is.

[Kalyx triaD]

Only thing that interests me is the Juri anime and all SFxT DLC characters/costumes unlocked.

[Drakul]

Sucks it's going to be impossible to get in the UK without importing it. Importing it would then jack up the already big price tag.

[Kalyx triaD]

Good session with Fignuts and a new buddy. Got cut short over an IRL blunder. Happy to be back online!

[Fignuts]

Hot damn, honestly a good thing you left. After a couple matches with that guy, we teamed up and went on ranked, and cleaned fools out. Got all the way back up to 1000BP. What few matches we lost were due to stupid mistakes. Totally winnable.

I'm still down to play some more, kalyx, if you got that IP stuff sorted.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's not the connection, more a 'somebody is clumsy as fuck' thing.

'Box is occupied now.

[Fignuts]

This game is so meant to be played as a team. Making way more progress in ranked on a team, than I ever did alone.

[Fignuts]

Finally got up to 1500bp. Did it all while on a team, as well. Even beat a slew of people that were B's at 3000-6000bp.

My Julia is starting to get ridiculous.

[Kalyx triaD]

Having fun with Poison these days. Xiaoyu still needs work.

Nigger colors are out.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, and still no decent white people skinb colors.

RACISTS! I see how Capcom is, now.

[Fignuts]

Had a bunch of endless battle sessions with some 10,000+ guys, and did relatively well with Julia & King/Ryu. Almost took a match.

Went to ranked and pulled out a win against a 3,000+ player, and he got all pissed. We got matched up again and the fucker picked Rolento. Still beat him, lol.

[Fignuts]

So in other words Kalyx, you best not drop this for too long, or else you'll get bodied when you come back.

Also, where is Khuntry? haven't played him in a couple months.

[Kalyx triaD]

Want those extra characters right fucking now.

Khuntry's here right now having a SCV session with and two others. We're getting on this game hardcore.

Me and Khuntry will be on SFxT, it's just that SCV bug biting us.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I'm sure everyone has it already, but this is on sale through gamefly for about 18 bucks.

[Fignuts]

Time Overs need to get the fuck out of this game.

[Kalyx triaD]

lol

[Fignuts]

My first match with Khuntry tonight?

5 rounds, 1 KO, 4 TO.

I don't like winning that way, and I damn sure don't like losing that way. They need to address this, as part of their upcoming "major overhaul".

[Kalyx triaD]

Funny thing is; offline we have sessions that do end in KOs more often than not. I think there's a lot of fumbling and turtling online.

[Kalyx triaD]

The 12 characters are now releasing at the end of this month (31st)! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!...

[Fignuts]

That is just ridiculously fantastic news.

[Fryza]

For 1,600 points. I want a few of them in there. But twenty bucks is a little steep.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's actually a damn good deal compared to other fighting game character DLC. Flames Iori in KoF13 alone was $5, a quarter price of this twelve character pack.

[Blitz]

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2012/jul/12/live-q-street-fighter-x-tekkens-producer-ayano-san-diego-comic-con-2012/

Here's the transcript:

• Capcom is looking at three key ways to solve the time over problems in SFxT, they are:

- Gray life recovering too fast.
- Increasing damage.
- Making the timer slower.

Nothing is set in stone and it could be a combination of multiple things that they use to fix this issue.

• The upcoming July 31 balance patch has changes for every character in the game. The entire roster is being balanced in different ways, some fighters have a lot or a few changes, but every person has been tweaked.

• The auto-block and auto-tech gems will take up more gem slots than they used to, in addition to the previously announced increased meter usage. Again, even if you block/tech correctly, these gems will still drain your meter.

• The DLC character release date was moved up because of fan and community feedback.

• Making Pandora mode useful is something they're looking into right now. They're aware that many people are not using this mode, and they went on to talk about how powerful Pandora was back in development of the game, especially in combination with gems. During development, whoever got Pandora first ended up winning. In the version of the game that shipped though, it ended up being too weak.

• The July 31st patch will NOT address Pandora.

• Over the next two weeks, they're going to cover more balance changes to the rest of the roster. Check out Capcom-Unity and the Japanese SFxT blog for those updates. We'll also post notes about these updates here on EventHubs.

• Lei and Christie have difference stances they can go into, so they're not exactly friendly for newer players who are just picking up the game

[Kalyx triaD]

I hope they buff Pandora sooner than later. I like it as a concept but it does suck.

[Blitz]

I wanna play Christie and Lei but I just never seem to do well with stance-based characters.

[Kalyx triaD]

They're my bread and butter. Those two as well as SoulCalibur's Maxi are my mains. I hate when characters don't have stances.

[Kalyx triaD]

My brother's internet connection is terrible. Won't be seeing me online for a while, can't do much more than log on.

When the characters drop in 20 days, I may not be able to be online by then. Give me time there.

Been experimenting with Ibuki, some may remember I had a brief stint with her when SSF4 launched. Been wanting to pair her with Asuka because of the ninja attire.

Also experimenting with charge cancels. Will say nothing more on that subject.

[Fignuts]

Pandora does not suck. The timing is tight (as it should be) but you can combo into a pandora powered super off a wall bounce for huge damage.

I've almost lost a round or two to Kalyx due to pandora. Actually lost a match in ranked to someone due to his strategic use of pandora.

[Fignuts]

Ryu's ex donkey kick into pandora, into julia's super, = massive damage if I land it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah but that's one use that can lead to supers regardless. And I hate wasting a gem slot to extend Pandora. I do like Pandora based gems. I just need more time to open people up.

[Fignuts]

Will be on all morning tomorrow, trying out new characters.

Ryu and Ken's tatsus have been nerfed, along with ryu's donkey kick.

Also, thank christ, rolento's lp, and raven's crouching hp have both been nerfed. A little less cheese from those two now.

[Fignuts]

Assist gems also getting nerfed, apparently.

[Blitz]

Probably gonna get bodied tomorrow, considering I haven't touched this in months.

[Kalyx triaD]

Won't see me for another week or so, not that I won't be playing the new characters in that time frame. Just don't expect me online for a bit.

[Fignuts]

So far i'm liking alisa and bryan the most.

Lei has an extremely long movelist. He and christie are going to be mad difficult to use.

[Kalyx triaD]

Not for me, fuck that. My Tekken go-to's right there.

[Blitz]

Elena and Guy are what I'm working with now, predictably. But I really like Brian and Christie's potential as well. Lei may be a future project.

[Blitz]

Oh and Lars. If only for his sweet ass Geki alt.

[Fignuts]

Ok, so somewhat in depth first impressions.

Lars- VERY prominent Adon feel here. To the point where one of his moves is almost exactly the same. Definitely feel like he's intended to be played in that same, "hit-and-run" style. He doesn't seem like he's got a lot in the mix up game though, so he may not be a tough match to read.

Alisa- Oh shit, where do I begin. Her style has similarities with Juri, which is why I suppose I took to her the fastest. Like Juri, she is an extremely versatile character. Not only does she have her multi-directional projectiles, but she's got a dash -> slide move that's as fast, if not faster than Guy's. Believe it will go under fireballs as well.

She's got several ways of getting in close, and once she does, she can bust out some pretty damaging combos, especially off boost combo to tag cancel.

And then there are the chainsaws. There are a number of ways to enter "Destroy mode", and if you do, that's when you want to get in close, as they are pretty difficult to defend against, andt they do pretty good damage.

Downside is, you can't attack while jumping, and you can't kick. You can build meter by pressing the kick buttons though.

Already discovered some really nasty combos with her, both solo and paired with Julia. In fact that may become my new main team.

Bryan- Moving along decently with Bryan, but I dunno. He was the character I looked forward to most, but he's kind of boring to play. Seems like his BnB combo starter would have to be that spinning backfist combo, as you can cancel into any of his specials from it.(and from there into the super if you use an ex special) Couldn't hit it on Blitz earlier though, as it's not yet in the muscle memory.

Jack- Haven't really messed around with him enough to comment.

Lei- Not really liking Lei at all, tbh. His DP move has a sketchy hitbox, and his other specials have horrible start up times. Think blitz poked me out of them about 10 times. Most of his stances don't really seem to have any practical use, and are there just for the sake of giving him stances. Maybe youcan combo into different stances? That would make them more viable. I dunno, I just suck with him, lol. I think you just need to concentrate really hard on reading and predicting your opponents actions, to play him effectively. Not to mention memorizing a shit ton of target combos.

Christie- Seems easier than Lei but still quite difficult. I will still give her a go however, because I love mix-up characters, and she is full of them. One thing that worries me is how wide open you are in handstand. Have to be very careful when using it outside of combos, and like when using lei, read your opponent carefully.

Her other specials range from low to overhead, and come out pretty fast, making her tough to deal with.

She reminds me of Julia in a small way, in that her specials all seem to be most effective from mid range, while her normals and target combos are most effective up close. Oh and she's got some pretty freakin' great target combos.

Dudley- Dudley, honestly seems even more dangerous here, than he was in AE. He's fast. And I know everybody's faster because the game is faster, but damn. I feel like they gave Dudley a little extra in the speed department. His recovery time also seems better. My opponents haven't been able to punish me on blocked specials, that would have got me bodied in AE. Might have to add him to the stable. Also, I love how the Fro on his swap costume completely blots out his partner on the versus screen.

Elena- Alex, Yun, and Makoto were the only characters I got in depth with in 3rd Strike, but I did play around with Elena a few times. More than a couple times, when Blitz was playing against me, she flew right over my head with a special and completely whiffed. Even all her normals outside of that fast crouching mid kick seem to have a slow startup. All this leads me to thing she's another mid range character.

The rest I didn't spend a whole lot of time with, but just seem like faster versions of their AE counterparts.

In addition to my new Alisa/Julia team, I might also start running Steve/Dudley. I've already expanded my character playlist to include Steve and Chun-li. In addition to some of the new characters, I'd also like to learn Ogre, Marduk, Kuma, Asuka, and Xiaoyu. Honestly, I'd just like to be able to hit random and be able to put up a good fight regardless of who I get.

[Fignuts]

Take back what I said about lars. Both of his manual dash's and his flipping kick move have modifiers to change what move comes out at the end. Might look into him more.

Messed with Jack, and I'm really liking him. He is my favorite behind Alisa at the moment. He hits like a god damn freight train, as expected. To the point though where 3 simple combos could be enough to finish off characters with lower stamina. His normals are slow, but his specials are incredibly fast. You can totally catch people off gaurd with them.

[Fignuts]

Blitz, do you play Third Strike at all? I bought it when it came out, but I have no one to play with. Would like to get some rooms going in that if you or anyone else is interested.

[Fryza]

Caved in, bought the DLC and some costumes.

Gonna try out Christie and Alisa, since they were the two I was looking forward to the most.

[Fignuts]

Didn't even know you played. Gonna have to join one of our tpww room.

[Kalyx triaD]

Think he's PS3.

[Fryza]

Naw, I'm 360. Let me know when things go down, I'll hop in and make an ass outta myself.

[Blitz]

Blitz, do you play Third Strike at all? I bought it when it came out, but I have no one to play with. Would like to get some rooms going in that if you or anyone else is interested.
I did when it came out yeah, but I found it very hard to find opponents online, and no one here was playing.

[Drakul]

Picked this up again when the DLC characters released. Realised I bought the whole DLC pack for one character.

Any combination of Zangief, Hugo & JACK X and I feel I'm pretty strong. Anyone else and I'm weaker than wet toilet paper.

I still think Tekken characters completely suck the fun straight out of the whole game. I've been combo'd, I'm lying on the floor, how can you still hit me?

It doesn't help that it seems Tekken character can combo/juggle as long as they like but my guys can only string togethor 2 juggles before they automatically miss the third.

If it was just Street Fighter Tag Team Tournement I'd be having a great time, I think.

Also, 360 is NEVER getting Megaman and Pacman, even though they are on the disc.

[Kalyx triaD]

Megaman and Pacman suck, though.

As I told you before, the Tekken characters have the hardest time in this game sense it's more SF than anything. You main big lumbering characters, so you'll get rushed down more often, and this makes the game feel like it lends itself to the Tekken characters more. It's actually a shocking degree of balance, but you play with very extreme characters. It's like playing SF with Dhalsim exclusively and complaining that the jumps are floaty and characters move too fast. In fact, sense you started taking 2D fighters seriously (SF4, I believe?) you were almost completely maining Gief. He, like certain other characters, are not the best representations of how SF overall plays.

[Drakul]

Megaman & Pacman would just be cool to have, whether they suck or not. If The Monopoly guy & Colonel Sanders were on the disc, I'd want them available, eventually.

Even when I try out Rolento, Poison or, since the DLC, Sakura & Blanka I still get juggled badly. I Shoryuken someone into the air and I can pull of another one to keep them in the air and then, no matter what I do after that, the 3rd strike automatically misses. Playing against Fignuts, his Heihachi kept my Poison in the air for quite a while. Meanwhile, when I tried to keep him up in the air, I couldn't beyond two attacks.

I hate that I go on and on about this stuff but it is something I can't see the "fairness" in. I just keep thinking "Why can Tekken guys juggle me for 10 hits but I can't string togethor 3?". I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something.
Can the SF cast do anything the Tekken cast can't do? If they can, then it wouldn't be so bad because each side would have a unique "perk".

I pick big guys because it suits my playstyle much better. No matter the genre, strength is the way I go almost everytime.

[Kalyx triaD]

There's actually a pretty deep system as to what juggles and what doesn't. For instance, the Tekken juggles involve a lot normals. Special moves usually end juggles because their point value is very high.

It gets nerdier from there, but in short very few characters can actually juggle a bunch of special moves.

Have you gone to YouTube to see if your characters have extended juggle capability?

[Fignuts]

Yeah, but look at the characters you play as. Hugo, Gief, and now Jack, only need a few hits per combo to do the same amount of damage as the 10 hit combos from other characters.

After a certain amount of damage has been done, you can't juggle any further. You pick the strongest characters, the less you will be able to keep your opponent in the air. I can pull off big combos with Chun-Li, but she hits like a wet noodle, so it balances out.

You're paying too much attention to the combo count, and not to the actual damage you are dealing.

Also, when not using your grapplers, you need to get a better handle on the juggle mechanics. Not one character in the game can juggle further, after two consecutive DP moves. Not Poison not Ryu, no one. DP moves are combo starters(ex and anti-air) and combo enders.

It all comes down to this. Characters who can't keep their opponents in the air that long typically hit a lot harder.

Try doing some trials as well. It can give you ideas, even if it's not the combo they want you to do. I spend a lot of time in training mode just messing around with different combos involving EX moves and Tag Cancels, both of which can extend combos that would end otherwise, and even go into a super. In fact at the end of our last match, I was about to demonstrate that very principale before you pandoraed out of it mid combo. How you did that I have no fucking idea.

[Fryza]

Played a little last night, with Alisa and Bryan. Two characters I was looking forward to.

Alisa scared me. I wasn't expecting her moves, even though I knew them. When her head came off, I missed the throw, and proceeded to be mauled by AI Akuma. He was not pleased with my shenanigans.

With Bryan, he was really slow and sluggish. I struggle with Tekken characters a little more than SF because I'm not good with fighting games. Needless to say, his slow movements didn't help me out.

I'll have to keep playing though, I enjoyed what I did.

[Blitz]

We need to get a big lobby going some night.

[Drakul]

When do the 2nd Alternates go on sale? If anyone knows.

[Kalyx triaD]

Thinking Oct. since a lot of them seem Halloween/gothic themed.

[Blitz]

Not bloody soon enough. I need ninja Guy and psycho clown Brian.

[Drakul]

I really want "Hagger The Horrible" Hugo, Teddybear Kuma, Masked Zangief and Toy JACK but most of the alts look good enough that I'd buy them, probably.

Looking at a video showing all the costumes, I have to ask, isn't Lili a kid? 15 or 16 or something? It kinda makes her witch costume a bit weird considering it seems to show most of her breasts off, covering things just from the nipple downwards.

[Kalyx triaD]

Best to leave that topic where it is.

[Drakul]

Japan.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah.

[Drakul]

I think I might go have a game just now. I'm still really rusty, especially with anyone that isn't my regulars. If any is around, maybe set up a lobby?

[Kalyx triaD]

Not anywhere near an Xbox right now.

[Drakul]

I go distracted by Mario Kart: Double Dash and Smash Bros Brawl anyway.

[Kalyx triaD]

Double Dash was good.

[Kalyx triaD]

I completely fucking suck at the footsie game. This is something that has went downhill as far 2D gaming goes, and I really need to step that shit up. One session with Fignuts and one with Khuntry pretty much shows that I can get opened up easily just by coming near me. Got so frustrated I couldn't even finish a match with Khuntry because my mind simply wasn't there, I was just pressing buttons.

Otherwise a decent series with both. Gotta take Lei to training mode already, he's my weakest link so far.

[Drakul]

I can get opened up easily just by coming near me.
I'll remember that.

I've been on a bit of a retro kick* these past couple of days so I've not been playing SFxT.
Now that I'm distracted, I see everyone is playing in lobbies again. Maybe i'll come back tonight or tomorrow.

*The Gamecube is retro. I still remember it being released. Time flies. Besides GC games, I've been playing Brawl and the original LoZ.

[Fignuts]

Might switch Ryu for Alisa after all. Ryu is strong but at this point, everyone knows the match. Feel like I can open people up better with Alisa's options.

[Fignuts]

Steve/Dudley team is improving every day as well.

[Kalyx triaD]

Kinda surprised to see that team from you, you've been experimenting.

I saved our last match, I think that was our best of the session. My Sakura isn't quite as terrifying as in SF4 because I'm getting used to this game's pace with her, and my sudden case of horrible close range game (which Sakura was great at before).

I put some practice with Lei and it may take me a while to see what the hell Capcom was going for. His stances have some mixup potential, but it's a lot of work incorporating that. I accept the challenge.

Christie is great, we're hitting it off fast. She needs a partner, though. Sakura and Ken may end up being permanent eventually, they have good chemistry as I've imagined.

I was on the verge of adding Vega and Chun Li back into my fold, but with these new characters I gotta drop that idea. Akuma may be the only recent add who stays, almost exclusively because of an amusing quote me and Khuntry pulled from Ninja Assassin as Akuma's sound cue.

[Kalyx triaD]

And I'm gonna join that 'cr.mp, cr.mp, SUPER' party you and Khuntry been throwing, because fuck you guys.

[Kalyx triaD]

Alright, Christie is fucking marvelous. And I'm making use of Lei's Drunken and Back-Turned stances. I'm beginning to rectify my issues with up-close combat.

[Blitz]

Christie/Elena. Team Capoeira Girl is my next project.

[RoXer]

Former tpww poster G will be getting this game next week and he may olay it for about an hour at some point and I will most likely be playing with him during that hour so if you're on at that time send an invite.

Personally I don't think he'll last 20 mins but we'll see.

[Fignuts]

He'll get massacred if he plays me or kalyx.

[Kalyx triaD]

Well... there is a co-op training mode option. In fact, I was gonna ask Figgy for a training session, as a team and some exhibition matches.

[Kalyx triaD]

Training is healthy.

[Kalyx triaD]

Totally on now!

[Kalyx triaD]

Can you send replay files to your friends? I have a match I wanna send Figgy and Khuntry.

[Fignuts]

I think so. You can in AE.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'll look it over later tonight.

[Kalyx triaD]

Blitz I got some Christie ideas for you unless you got your groove with her already.

[Blitz]

Haven't taken her online yet. I'm still looking for the right partner for Guy, and may put some time into Bryan/Lars.

[Kalyx triaD]

Didn't you play with Ibuki?

[Blitz]

Ib worked better for me in SFIV than she has in this game. Currently running Guy/Cammy occasionally Guy/Poison, but might go back to working with Law and slot him in instead of the ladies.

[Fignuts]

Had probably the best match i've ever played against khuntry tonight. My new julia/heihachi team vs his kazuya/raven team. Still struggling to decide who is the best partner for julia. Its between ryu, alisa, and hachi right now.

In other news i still despise playing against rolento.

[Kalyx triaD]

I KNOW RIGHT

[Fignuts]

Game isn't even fun against him. Even if iwin getting there is is just aggravating. You'll never see me playing him unless i get him in random.

[Fignuts]

Same with hugo. Fucking slut.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hugo I've learned to deal with. He jobs to back dash.

[Fignuts]

Certain characters ar extremely difficult to get in with against hugo. He doesnt need armor on that lariat if you ask me. Hes got enough tools to be a really strong character without it.

[Kalyx triaD]

SFxT ver2013:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HYkSdIvmRxU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

- Life regen adjusted to reduce Time Outs, also red life to show recoverable life easier (as in every game that does that).
- Pandora possibly made to be dangerous. (Speculation based on trailer)
- Gem activation adjusted for less glow and more outlines Last Dragon style.
- Anti-Airs improved to work, and initiate juggle state.
- Character rebalance across the board.
- Free update like SSF42012, except for...
- Halloween costumes (paid).
- Mid-December release.

[Fignuts]

Why don't they just increase the god damn timer?

Jesus.

[Drakul]

A more dangerous Pandora sounds fun.

[Fignuts]

Played this for the first time in a couple months.

Got destroyed.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, betting I'm more rusty.

[Emperor Smeat]

Don't have a PS3 to see if Sony fixed the issue but if they didn't the Swap Costume DLC pack is currently free on PSN for anyone who hasn't downloaded the pack yet.

If you go on the PlayStation Store right now, you can see that the costume pack is listed twice, one listed at $8.49 and the other for free. Downloading either causes the other entry to disappear, so it's most likely an error on Sony's behalf. Now there was a pricecut announced for the DLC for Street Fighter X Tekken to coincide with the Vita release, but I doubt Capcom's intentions were to make it free.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/sony-may-have-accidentally-made-street-fighter-x-tekken-dlc-free

Also its being found out that the Vita version doesn't include the 12 extra characters originally promised and instead the download code for them was replaced with the Swap Costume pack. Those characters no longer are free unless you bought them for the PS3 version.

[Kalyx triaD]

And there you go.

[Fignuts]

Do not like the Julia changes.

[Kalyx triaD]

Aside from losing Cammy's jump cancel loop, I'm happy with everything. I'll let Nina losing her gdlk HK cross up slide too. Asuka should be a boss now, and Christie will be slightly more aggressive. Lei got some nice stuff too.

[Fignuts]

I will really miss my 1 frame super with Julia. Wonder if it's even possible to combo into it off pandora with the added frames.

[Kalyx triaD]

If it doesn't work you have four extra seconds to make up for it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Well as it turns out the Halloween costumes that were said to drop in December with the update, are in fact Halloween costumes and will drop on the 30th. Could have sworn they said they'd drop with the update but this is the best kind of miscommunication.

I played online yesterday and needless to say I've whatever spark that made me somewhat competent at this game. Gotta train myself back up. In semi related news my TTT2 record is a damn shame. People are animals in that game.

[Fignuts]

We need to throw down in those games.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes very.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fuckin A. Details later.

[Fignuts]

Ugh.

That last match was embarrassing. Totally fell apart after the second round.

[Kalyx triaD]

They were fun, though. Getting that rust off was good. I could see in real time shit coming back to us. Lei was doing nothing for me and I picked Guile just to play with Sonic Boom a little. I love Christie.

[Emperor Smeat]

Capcom finally admits they goofed up when they took out the free characters for the Vita version without informing people about it. Lots of complaints by Vita owners of the game when they found out Capcom pulled a bait-and-switch move once they bought their game.

Capcom went so far to even lock out people who bought the characters on the PS3 from using them on the Vita version.

Although Capcom is fixing the mess by giving away the free characters for both the physical and digital versions of the game.

Very excited.

Also Lars is now part of my stable. He is badass.

[Kalyx triaD]

Why do I make mistake at the tail end of a match dammit!?

[Fignuts]

You like to pressure. Maybe you just get over excited?

I always try and stay cool, no matter how good or bad I'm doing.

[Kalyx triaD]

If I can try and isolate my biggest issues:

- I freak the fuck out, still, when people are right next to me. This may seem ironic considering my tactics, but there's a world of difference between me initiating close combat and it being out of my control. My careless whiffed reversal attacks show this.
- Once I get a groove on, I tend to screw tagging to go for the kill. This costs me much in a game where combos are the penalty for one bad guess. I need to respect the lifebar more than my perceived momentum.
- I don't trust a random attack enough to convert to a boost combo. Funny thing is I land random normals all the time, but when I want to go into the full boost combo I bomb. This is especially true with Sakura and Nina.
- I keep forgetting you can go into EX Specials, Supers, and Team Supers right from the boost combo Marvel style. And for that matter I should end more combos with supers anyway.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Currently £7.49 on Steam.

It's worth that much, even if it is already a few patches behind.

Also, when the match gets down to the wire, you get a bit predictable. I've hit you with a few wake up ultras in our time playing against one another, but they were never random desperation moves. Always been 100% certain they would connect, because you always go for wake up pressure when you're close to winning.

Gotta say, the worst part about Capcom's mismanagement of the game, and it's subsequent bad sales, is that there probably won't be a sequel. Which means this is the only game we'll ever see the tekken movesets in. Sad, because they are really fun to play with, and I'm interested in how other tekken characters would transfer over.

I suppose if Tekken X Street Fighter does well enough it might happen, but that might take a miracle.

You're pretty much on the money here, and I have been addressing it in recent offline sessions with Khuntry and others (sorry for missing the invites, when you see me on and I don't reply, it's definitely because we're throwing down).

At the start of a match or when it starts heating up, I will lay down smart pressure and mix-ups. I back down when your meter's full, and I keep jump arcs in mind. Then toward the end I hear Shao Khan yelling "Finish Him!" and I blank out charging at people. Funny thing is in SSF4 where the 'wake up ultra' trend began, by desperation or intentional, I respected it. Now I make really bad gambles.

What I'm focusing on right now:

- Tag often, regain life. I cannot wait til after 50% or worse when I'm flashing to tag. It just saves a wounded horse that will do me no favors later on.
- Tunnel my SSF4 Cammy viciousness. Nowadays I switch it up for no apparent reason and I need to go back to playing it straight until the enemy convinced me he's adapted.
- Hit the lab. I've been playing Lars mostly by ear and I need to put some tricks into muscle memory. He's starting to click but not enough for me to react correctly under certain circumstances. Lei as well. I've also developed an interest for Bryan.
- Give Xiaoyu another chance, I miss Chicken Head.
- Capitalize on confirms. I've already begun this, but it's embarrassing that it's starting after all this time. Lars is 200% more dangerous when I cancel into his specials.

I suppose if Tekken X Street Fighter does well enough it might happen, but that might take a miracle.

I also wondered if this game's oddly innovative move-set philosophy would carry over to something else. If not SFxT2, or dare I say SF5, then at least a new IP. I love the more mix-up heavy nature as opposed to 'poke, sweep, jump, confirm into special/super'. It's motivated me to rewrite the system for "V. Arts".

We'll meet online this week, for training sessions; and it has been a long time since we teamed up.

[Fignuts]

I could almost see Capcom adapting some of the Tekken movesets into a brand new fighter for a new Street Fighter game, but even that seems a stretch.

Also, I'm down to play this week but I'll be on late. Prolly like midnight, your time.

And we need to throw some Tekken Tag 2 in there somewhere. Need to test out my Kunimitsu. I was winging it with her last time, but now I've got a feel for her combos and stuff.

[Fignuts]

Bryan is fun, but he's pretty tough to use. Not Makoto tough, but you know.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah his normals are pathetic. Gonna need to be creative with him.

[Drakul]

I've been wanting to play this but I just can't bring myself to it. Feel like I'd probably get so stressed playing the game right now.

[RoXer]

Roxer, you should give Street Fighter X Tekken another chance. The online play is way better now. No more lag or annoying sound issues.

Akuma still sucks, I guess, but there are lots of other great characters.

Let's jump back in this sometime this week Drakul, you and me. Let's see if Fignuts is right. I doubt he is.

[Kalyx triaD]

The online did get better. Akuma has his uses, Zangief as well. You boys come back!

I just redid most of my gem loadouts for all of my characters. Took how I currently use each character into account.

[Blitz]

I will get bodied so badly when I come back to this.

[Kalyx triaD]

Probably, but bring it!

[Drakul]

I probably wont be about until Wednesday at the earliest.

Not really related but I want to make my own Sodom T-shirt. Have it orange with large blue text on the front that reads

DIE
JOB
DEATH
CAR?

with a blue sillouette of his mask above it. Seems like too much work to find the right image and t-shirts cost something like £30 or $60 or something.

[Kalyx triaD]

You a Sodom fan?

[Drakul]

I played the Alpha games on my Ps1 when I was younger and, even though I didn't focus as much as I do now, I enjoyed guys like Sodom and Birdie. Prefer Sodom to Birdie, though.

Big and slow has always been my "style".

[Kalyx triaD]

Face me!

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm in that metamorphosis stage where my old habits want very badly to subdue my new, better ones.

[Fignuts]

I think a part of the reason I'm getting wins, is because you only use a small handful of characters, whereas I use over half the roster, so I don't have to adapt to new strategies as much as you do.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'd settle for Julia being a bitch.

[Fignuts]

That too. Replacing ryu with hachi on that team makes her even worse. Lotsa damage they can pull off together.

[Kalyx triaD]

The 16hit combo was demoralizing.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, I've been working on that one for a while. Second half of the combo only works in the corner, but the first half pushes you pretty far, so it doesn't have to start there.

I enjoy hitting those 3 bar tag cancel combos, a lot more than super arts or cross arts.

[Kalyx triaD]

Did that maybe once ever.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fucking love my new Gem set-ups.

I put Christie thru the lab and took her online. She's improved on the combo front. Also put some work on Lars, particularly finding uses for his EX dodge and his Jaguar Kick thing.

Getting closer to finally breaking a 1000bp. Can't believe I had such a hard time winning in Ranked.

[Drakul]

Ranked was one of the reasons my interest in this game ended so fast. It felt so uneven, in favour of Tekken. I would get genuinely worked up over it and I'm usually pretty laid back when I lose.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 2013 update gave the Tekken cast rifles. Let them cut to the chase with a one hit kill.

[Kalyx triaD]

Like I said before this game is not soft on Tekken characters, it takes some practice to make them work in what is, in the end, a slightly modified Street Fighter game. There's Tekken players who wish the game had more Tekken cues in there.

[Kalyx triaD]

As a player of both Street Fighter and Tekken, I promise you this game is Street Fighter first, Tekken way second.

[Fignuts]

Kalyx.

Put on the suit.

[Kalyx triaD]

Buddy's on his nightly Madden binge.

I may be on in the wee hours.

[Fignuts]

I got up to 2500 in ranked playing on a team with this other guy. It's hard at first to play on a team, but once you get in sync, you become formidable, as your opponent has to take into account two different play styles.

[Kalyx triaD]

We should do that.

[Drakul]

Why does it seem Tekken guys have an answer for everything and it genuinely feels like they have an advantage over SF?
They can beat SF moves, they can do combos on a whim that sap a level of HP I'd need to use all three Ultra bars with Zangief & Hugos double team Ultra to accomplish.

It's as if Capcom are being self depricating. They've made the visting team look untouchable while they look weak and under equipped.

[Kalyx triaD]

Why does it seem Tekken guys have an answer for everything and it genuinely feels like they have an advantage over SF?

Funny you say that since the upcoming update addresses several weaknesses of the Tekken roster.

They can beat SF moves, the can do combos on a whim that sap a level of HP I'd need to use all three Ultra bars with Zangief & Hugos double team Ultra to accomplish.

Khuntry uses Hugo and Gief. Long story short; you're incorrect. Also, pimp those Gem loadouts.

Your experience isn't an accurate representation of how the actually is. Face Fignut's Juri or Ryu and tell me the SF characters are weak. Face Khuntry's Rolento and Ryu. Face my Cammy and Ken.

And how are you of all people not giving Murdok, King, and Jack X a try?

[Drakul]

I'm a Jack X guy. I remember the first time I used his ultra and thinking his ultra did a lot of damage. Even for a big guy.
I tried Marduk but never had enough time to actually get familiar with him.
King, I've not really bothered with.

[Fignuts]

I actually did give Marduk and Jack a try. No reason I haven't gone back, just focusing on others .

You already know my King is pretty tight. I suspect he's not picked very much because he's difficult to use effectively. It's so worth it, though, because his moveset is just really fun. Love hitting power bombs and shining wizards on people.

Funny you say this, as I was thinking about picking up more characters.

[Kalyx triaD]

Did you ever experiment with Gems?

[Fignuts]

Also, PM me on here, when you jump on live. I'll meet you on there.

[Fignuts]

I've barely even touched Gems since I initially set them up back in march. Haven't bought any of the new ones.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'll never buy Gems, they got me twisted. Fuck that.

It's as if Capcom are being self depricating. They've made the visting team look untouchable while they look weak and under equipped.

Can honestly say that I've not noticed this. I've been bodied by just as many experienced SF players as I have tekken players. I myself use a good mix of tekken and SF, and the results don't end up favoring one over the other.

[Fignuts]

Oh, and fuck Khuntry's Rolento. Fuck everyone's Rolento, for that matter.

I don't even know how playing as him can be fun. Just repeatedly throwing out the same, ultra fast, completely safe poke until it hits, and then doing the same combo, only sometimes ending it with a super.

That's the one character I really have a problem with. Hugo can be really cheap as well, but I can deal with it if I have the right characters. Rolento though...

Fuck Rolento.

[Kalyx triaD]

Dhalsim makes me hate black people.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's about to go down people.

[Kalyx triaD]

Things are getting interesting.

[Kalyx triaD]

Paid gems are gay.

[Kalyx triaD]

Blanka can suck a dick. Blitz is here. Let's rock.

[Drakul]

Actually would join in but I'm going to be going out into wind and rain in about twenty minutes.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's about done anyway.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm just gonna stop Canon Spiking on wake-up, even if I miss a sure hit.
