delete_me Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 My internet had some really good timing dying on me the day the Multiversus beta starts. As for its success, those numbers certainly look good. But as an old-school person I see more danger in f2p than benefits, because it completely eradicates the retro scene. Those side tournaments with 3rd Strike, Melee, Garou and obscure stuff? In a f2p future you're only ever going to play the games the publisher keeps live. Volt 1 Link to comment
Mr.Cipher Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Multiverse will probably stay healthy and keep people longer hooked than other FGs. It is simple to see why and thats the way the online is handeld, as well as part of the game structure. Unless something was changed, the online is standard 2v2, meaning there is always someone else to blame for when you lose. There are also perks, so you can blame loses on having the wrong or "underpowerd" perks. That alone will keep people playing longer, add to that that the game is F2P, which means you lose nothing for trying it. 4 hours ago, delete_me said: My internet had some really good timing dying on me the day the Multiversus beta starts.

Sonero Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 There's a dedicated group of people playing SF4 still. Europe still streams weeklies of it. But the game definitely fell hard. I'm expecting SF5 to take an equally as big of a nose dive as SF4. In general though, the current FGC isnt exactly teaching young new people that they don't have to drop the games they like when a new one comes out. Volt and Shakunetsu 1 1 Link to comment

Vanguard in any other fighting game would be a menace but because he exists in a game where 90% of the cast can just fly all over the screen like crackheads he losses on all metrics. When I move up in rank, I do a sigh of relief when Vanguard is on the VS screen because that's the one MU Launcher has in her favor. But another issue with Launcher is that she's such a basic bitch who has a basic bitch game plan. And that annoys the fuck out of people.

Hecatom Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Vanguard falls in the same "problem" that the cast of Hokuto no Ken had. You could take any character from HnK and put him/her on any other game and would be broken and top tier. But since everyone was broken, you had a situation where some whre more broken than other, lol. I still like using Vanguard, but is clear that he has some issues due how the game and cast works. Leaving aside any balance change unique to him, a change I would add the game if I had the chance would be to reduce the cost of the guard cancel, and maybe add a variation where you roll either back or forward depending on what direction you input/button combination. And maybe a burst like mechanic that cost what the guard cancel costs right now. The game supposedly takes from Samsho, and if that game saw fit to have a burst like mechanic, it makes sense for this game to also have one, lol. TWINBLADES and Hawkingbird 2 Link to comment

Maybe I'm seeing shit but I swear some characters like Berserk can instantly forward roll after a KD. Maybe I'm just insane and see something that isn't there. I agree on the GC MP cost. It would be the most reasonable nerf to characters like Striker without ruining her core game plan. I'm 50/50 on burst. I feel like since I've really sunk my teeth into the game I've gotten used to the feeling of knowing that this game at the highest tiers will turn into a 2 mistakes and you're done meta. I hated it at first because dying to Grappler after two bad reads felt bad. But maybe the Stockholm's has kicked in since I feel like I've accepted it and wanting a burst was me just coping with my dog shit defense. I'm hoping I can get to Terranite before the week is over.

I'm so close. The way I see it, the burst could end as a high risk defensive maneuver. Since it's primary use will be to try to defend your gray health on a combo. It can be implemented in 2 ways, like in Samsho that once you pop it, you lost access to your super for example, but it is more or less invulnerable and you can't bait it. Or be more like GG/P4A and BB, where you can bait it and end losing both health and the MP meter you used for it, but without the penalty of losing your super for example. Of course, this is just me. Like you said, the game is a "2 mistakes" and you are done game, this will only make it a "3 mistakes" game instead, lol Edit Another thing that could be added is a faultless defense mechanic that drains your mp meter, perhaps having both will be an overkill? I don't know, but the game will benefit from having some extra defensive mechanics. They take ques from snk and asw previous games. And since they said that this game is like a samsho game with asw flair, it is kind of amusing that they left the defensive options that snk and asw have behind. It almost feels like in some ways the 8ting "philosophy" of everyone is bonkers and you can't do shit about it creep out into the game 🤣 Edited July 27, 2022 by Hecatom TWINBLADES 1 Link to comment

Nah son, there are things that can be apparent day 1. You don't need a game to breath, specially nowdays to know that there are things that can be improved or worked on. Plus, theorizing about what can be or not added to a game is not the same as being knee jerkish. Due the nature of the game, is clear that is lacking on defensive options. Some extra mechanics could help a lot some characters without the need of balancing them, at least not much, and they wouldnt necessarily change what the game intends to be. Edit Plus, I love theory designing fighting games. I was designing a fg back then, and have been even working on and off on some mugen like component for UE4 😅 Edited July 27, 2022 by Hecatom Hawkingbird, Volt and TWINBLADES 2 1 Link to comment

Skort Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) With 22 base roster ( hopefully ) and an expected release date of Q1 2023 one would think they should start showing some character trailers rather soon. What was it ? About 1 or 2 characters per month to meet the "release date" ? Ofc this does not mean much,they can just go silent mode and drop trailers that include multiple reveals such as the Cammy / Birdie trailer in SF 5 in a short time frame. I do wonder however if most reveals will be saved for actual events and if so, how many events that Capcom would likely show up in with news are there for this year and early 2023 ? Regardless ,Evo reveal will probably have one of the following Ken , Cammy , Kimberly in my opinion ( but then again, all expected Kimberly and they showed Guile instead so you never know ) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited July 27, 2022 by Skort Jocelot 1 Link to comment

Outside some stuff, I think the algorithm doesn't know what to recommend to me, since there are some random shit at times, shit I already watched and thousands of vtuber clips XD I assume that is because since my account is extremely old, and is subscribed to over a thousand channels, it just throws whatever.
