Street Fighter x Tekken Discussion thread

The memories are flooding back. I remember how much I use to struggle against Julia, Nina and Xiaoyu. While Paul was trash his damage output was insane. He could kill in two combos.

I went into training mode. I can still do my BnBs with Lili and Poison. I didn't think I can still do my stuff five years removed. If I can get my PS3 fixed up I could get back into this.

I would love to be playing this again, but I can't get it to run on my Win 10 PC and I don't have the dozens of hours it looks like it will take to fix/work around whatever the issue is.  :(

I'll help you.  Once you do this it is brainless

 

* Problems with getting the game to work? Here is the download link for the Online Patch that fixes many errors like crashes and black screen on launch, will need fresh install of SFxT to work properly: https://docs.google.com/uc?authuser=0&id=0B6A_ITzSjsF3eUVvalZvSmQydTA

 

* If for some reason the online patch is not properly installing the latest version of GFWL for you or you are having the 'Unable to log into Games for Windows Live' issue, you can uninstall the gfwl version you have and instead use this link here to get it working: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=201134

 

* If you followed every step above and it still doesn't work, check your game directory; if there's a XLive.dll in it, delete it, that is the source of your issues and you do NOT need it in the least

 

Just to be safe, you should also download this from the Windows store.  https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-for-windows-10 or search in google “ Update xbox app for windows 10 “ The app will update visual C++ and Direct X. If it still giving you this error, re-install the game and apply the online patch.   Windows 10 recently updated so that the initial log-in process is quicker, but you'll need this app to make it happen.  Log in with this app with the username/password you into to log in with, and then boot up SFxT with all of the stuff we talked about above.  Let that first log-in do its thing  (takes about 10 minutes or so the first time, just let it process and don't fool yourself into thinking your PC is locked up, because it is not) and then it's instantaneous from that point onward.

Hot damn, that did work right away!  Game had previously been hanging with an exception error on any clean install.

 

Now to see if my hands remember any combos...

Just want to remind everyone that this game's combo structure is not like SF4 or Marvel 3:

 

You want to get as many heavy-er normals into the beginning of the combo, and save boost chains for late (if at all), otherwise your damage will really suffer.

 

The difference between starting a combo with lights > boost chain vs mediums > chained launcher can be massive. Also, Tekken chains affect scaling way less than normal boost chains, and are special cancellable (giving Tekken characters a pretty big advantage, IMO).

So for Claw, doing cr.mk, cr. mp > (optional cr. hp) launcher (or scarlet terror xx tag) is going to do probably 30% more than cr.lp (optional cr.lp) > cr.mp> cr.hp > launcher, regardless of what the incoming tag partner does.

A lot of characters can link their s.lp into s.hp/cr.hp as well, which is a big damage boost from a light confirm. For example, Lili can do st.lp, cr.hp (plinkable 1 frame link) into launcher or any of her special moves. These combos hit like a truck, even from a jab starter.

One of the main reasons SFxT has more timeouts than most games is that people still, even in 2020, don't do optimal combos.

 

Not sure anyone's said that so far in the thread.

Yeah I got into an argument with Javits about it on twitter and then proceeded to give him the wrong set for my example, lol.

 

When I showed him the actual set I had in mind, Izotop v Specialist, he asked me if I thought these guys could beat the top players.  While obviously a few of the discord regulars like myself, Salt and Striker have done that, I think most people are just going to see Infil and Justin do their usual Infil/Justin stuff and think that's what optimal play looks like all the time.  Obviously it'll work, but with enough optimization and matchup knowledge it can be turned against them and then they're pressured to make the comeback.
