I wonder why they didn't give her a side-switching V-Reversal. Maybe to avoid some feature overlap with VT1, but she'd need it so much. GetTheTables 1 Link to comment

From fullscreen to midscreen at around st.HP distance away from the opponent and with machine-like AA reactions for Soul Bind she's probably Top 10/15. But if you're closer than that or mess up that one crucial AA and get cornered and she's completely screwed, even if V-Shift/Reversal help her more than others. I place her at "takes 80% more effort and mental energy than the average SFV character" tier. Link to comment

This wasn't the response they were looking for lol. The old games for me, it's more toward the variety of creativity established in the 1990s and 1980s. I also think that with balance, is why I hold Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting and certain Virtua Fighter games at high regard, moreover, the pre-super era with the others that can be honorable mentions. I'm well aware that I've spent up to 500 dollars worth of more recent generation games in current times, which led to the misfortunate of buyer's remorse, falsely hoping for the best. Either way, everyone should play what they like, though, without the elitist views. (Also, I have GGXXAC+R, but due to the lack of innovation afterwards, it's more likely for me to not migrate to the games after.) Edited May 12, 2021 by Emptyeyes DoctaMario 1 Link to comment

Honestly, I actually like Reload more than +R. +R got a bit too much stuff. A robust array of system mechanics, deep movesets for every character... Sure, that really allows people to develop their own unique style, but I actually like the more condensed movesets of Reload and Xrd. Less of a hassle to learn matchups too, I guess. Didn't get my hands on Strive yet, of course, so it's a bit too soon to say, but I legit like Reload, +R and Xrd for being games with their own identity and just generally really, really good games. 37 minutes ago, Emptyeyes said: (Also, I have GGXXAC+R, but due to the lack of innovation afterwards, it's more likely for me to not migrate to the games after.)

In one of the Sajam vids he mentions a going theory that the loketest had the beta changes in it and people just didn't really notice because its pretty subtle. We'll know for sure in an day. Even if Strive is less aerial than previous games its still a GG game and so there is still going to be plenty of aerial shit. Strive is definitely less vertical than something like +R but I think you can tell that they still want the game to have a strong presence of aerial offense. 11 hours ago, Volt said: I can't imagine macro not being faster because you actually need to go back to neutral for 9, 6 iirc.

He didn't actually apologize until later after being called out by a growing number of people. They are right. He screwed up. Alright I'm in a better headspace. I DID apologize even at the start, what I said was construed as offensive and as a professional in life I should have been more careful, but unfortunately I can't write a good apology anymore in 1400 or less with 3 degrees, and I was in the middle of talking to the BFTG community about where things go moving forward. I also had to take a call because I have a life. I was legit baffled when Volt and others were telling me apologizing was making it worse. Clumsy me, I thought it was real life where you're supposed to apologize when you do something wrong. Second, this is my first time dealing with anything like this. This is not something I should have had to stomach, for something I do for no money. Third, you don't apologize expecting people to accept it. You apologize because it's the right thing to do. Regardless of my intent with my analogies, I did it on someone else's dime. Fourth, Art and I spoke privately and I'll be back soon as long as I keep my head down. I'm sitting in timeout a wiser man, and donated 50 bucks to my local women's shelter just to at least show my immediate circle if they had any doubts about me that when it comes to serious matters, I've always known that the fight for dignity is one worth fighting for. Fifth, I only lost like 30-some followers. I'll rebuild from this. My entire FGC career has been driven on the notion that I want to prove people wrong about whatever assumption they have about me over the years when I come in my typical boisterous self. You can take a look at all of the fanfics people wanted to spread about me as evidence of some of the lumps I've had to take from people who don't have the nerve to say these things to my face. And when live events do return, all of these people writing fanfics about me won't say a thing to me about it, and if I did approach them and go "hey WTF" they'd just nod their head and go back to talking junk on twitter, so it'd be best if I carried on like I have been with a shrug. Sixth, I reviewed my old commentary critically and realized that I make analogies way too much anyway. A year or so ago I made a reference to the then-ongoing Antonio Brown saga during USF4 commentary. I laughed, because it was funny, but there were at least two things people would've had a fit, so you live and learn. I was told my Art when I first started calling matches with him that I was quite good at commentary so I see little reason to abandon it entirely. I behaved well enough doing BFTG at Frosty so it's just a matter of knowing my audience and respecting I'm live. Seventh, I was told after the fact that people were yelling at me over talking about Jewish stuff. I apologized for the commentary bit because it hurt people without meaning to, we've all been there. But I'm not gonna apologize for making pieces of my ilk's history analogies for the deep impact it had by making it a synonym for an unwatchable, unenjoyable, complete affront to one's senses.

There's two reason's I'm a bigger fan of hitbox over pad: Simultaneous button presses- I just can't do them consistently on pad without macros, and even then, I don't like using my left hand for action buttons, it messes with my mind. Like with Gief's lariet, I just can't do it. Same with throw teching and what not, it's just no beuno for me. Big ol buttons solves that issue in my case. Blisters and "pad thumb".
