Vhozite Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I genuinely do not think devs aim for real balance, at least not in the colloquial sense. It seems to be me they start with an idea for what they want to do (regardless of how healthy it is) and work backwards to make it passable. Illwill88 and Pair of Rooks 2 Quote Link to comment

The game is already heavy on the aggression and they added another mechanic that buffs offense? Weird. Edited January 26 by HeavensCloud Quote Link to comment
Pair of Rooks Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 They're all just adding Drive Rush, aren't they? Makes my character rise 2 tiers so I'm ok with that. 🙃 Re: balance, there's a law of diminishing returns on devs spending budget on balance. As long as balance is playable then there's no real benefit to spending the $$$ trying harder, and some benefit to allowing some things to be out of balance because it gives the playerbase something to look forward to - balance patch day. Patch day is a big day for players, and if your game somehow is perfectly balanced then a patch would only make it worse. Quote Link to comment
CESTUS III Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) I think in SF we got bunch of devs statements already to hint that not only we will never get "perfect balance" but they will not try either, they just want a food chain built in a way that please them (and in their mind, the audience) Ryu claimed to be used as balancement standard or something had him mediocre for most of SFV live and started similar in SF6 Some claim it's better because he's so popular that if was stronger would be picked more, yet you have Ken who have similar popularity and tend to get better shit Akuma is strong because they (and some fanbase) have boner for Akuma, so Akuma have to be stronk. They even gave up the old idea of make him glass cannon with lower HP, just make him stronk because he's Akuma Zangief is like banned from being high tier. It's ok some characters are high tier, they're fine with it, but if is Zangief is a nono I guess also SF6 Luke being super strong (and i main him, i like MMA) was another intentional bullshit to try boost/shoehorn popularity of not so loved new protagonist And stuff like that And i'm not even counting the marketing fact that they may be inclined to make DLC chars on the stronger side because otherwise tiers bitches would say there's no reason to buy them lol I don't even wish to have some mythical perfect balanced game where every matchup is 5:5 * but them artificially chosing what deserve to be higher or lower feels very bullshit to me Imho correct way would simply be them taking chars (whoever they are) that clearly underperformed throught the year and make legit moves to make them more effective, same way pick the very few that clearly were above others and find a way to nerf them possibly without remove what make them fun... i don't want a non-tiers-whore Ken player that legit find his char fun to play style wise to end up with something boring, just find a way to make it no more overpowered * plus would be impossible have it for everybody, even with same chars involved a matchup at high pro level goes different from same clash done at my shit level of play Edited January 28 by CESTUS III Pair of Rooks 1 Quote Link to comment

Vhozite Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I tried out Chun-Li finally and it’s weird. On paper this character has everything I’d want (fun/unique combos, fireball, DP, long buttons), but actually using her idk she just doesn’t make it for me. Just doesn’t have that *it* factor for me.

TWINBLADES Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I love SF6 but every fucking match is a fucking Ryu. Holy shit people have such a dog shit taste in fighters. Like god damn play fucking anyone else holy fucking shit please. I literally encounter 1 Sim every 250 matches and I’m actually not even kidding when I say that. I’m also contemplating if I should get Granblue first or T8. I’ve settled on maining Zafina because she looks like a Soul Calibur character with the claw hand and I miss Soul Calibur. The next few months are so front loaded with games. I’m playing the new Prince of Persia game and it’s incredible but now Person 3 is coming out and Relink and I still gotta finish Crises Core and I haven’t even touched any new fighting game and fucking Rebirth…. my wallet 😞 Pair of Rooks 1 Quote Link to comment
purbeast Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I used to love Tekken back in like the tag days but it just got stale to me.

AriesWarlock Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Newly discovered Street Fighter 6 glitch nets more damage from stun combos Spoiler The basic idea here is that if this glitch is activated correctly, players will be able to get more damage out of their stun combos. Already, lab monsters are sharing combos that push the limits of what can be done and are finding the hardest hitting sequences that they can. In Street Fighter 6, in order to stun your opponent you'll have to wait for them to get into burnout (or force them into it yourself). Once they're burnt out, hitting them with a Drive Impact close to the corner will see them bounce off of the wall and enter into a stun state where they are completely vulnerable to an attack for several seconds. What's interesting about using Drive Impact in the corner is that you can hit it from up close or from further away, and the blow back from this attack can still cause the opponent to stagger all the way back and hit the wall. This is the foundation of the newly discovered glitch. Essentially, what players have now discovered is that you can hit a burnt out opponent with a Drive Impact from further out, and while they stagger back you actually have time to input another move before they touch the wall. From what we can see, if you perform certain actions at the exact same time that the opponent makes contact with the wall, you will get rid of the initial damage scaling that comes after a stun. To put it plainly, the first attack you land after stunning an opponent in Street Fighter 6 starts at 80% damage scaling — meaning you're dealing 80% of the damage the attack would normally do right out of the gate. Doing a combo after stun means you normally start at 80% damage, then continue scaling down from there. However, this new glitch makes it so that your first attack after the stun actually deals 100% of its damage and starts scaling down from there. Ultimately, you're getting quite a bit more damage out of combos in this situation now with this bug in play. The following Twitter clip from sakuyo13 demonstrates how this is all done and how it works. From what we've been seeing, it appears that jumping simultaneously with the opponent hitting the wall for the stun can consistently activate the glitch. -PVL93-, Darc_Requiem, Jocelot and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 That's cool tech but it will be lucky to make it to the next balance patch. It'll probably get patched before then. Quote Link to comment
HeavensCloud Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I labbed that yesterday and it was hard to set up. The spacing from the wall has to be perfect or you won't have the time to input a move to get the glitch. For sure it's worth going for if you can get it since starting the post stun combo with no scaling is a significant difference. Pair of Rooks 1 Quote Link to comment

elliephil Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 During sfv didn't they usually release a new balance patch shortly after Capcom Cup? It's weird how all of this lines up with Akuma being the last character in this season pass while Capcom Cup happens in February. Imagine like they release a Season 2 balance patch before all the Season 1 characters have dropped lol Quote Link to comment

Granted Tekken is also doing a one char per time of the year release but at least it had a roster twice the size of SF6 at launch Meh, Tekken's characters don't change much each iteration. I played the demo and played Paul and he played pretty much how I remembered him playing the last time I played a Tekken game which was 3 or Tag 2. I wouldn't be surprised if they literally use a lot of the same code and stuff for characters across games. I know I'm probably in the minority but I don't care about a roster size being huge. I'm fine with the size of SF6 roster and them slow dripping 4 characters per year. I loved SF4 but hated how large the roster got towards the end. Jocelot 1 Quote Link to comment

purbeast Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I was playing my buddy last night and did a qcb.fk with Dee Jay to get his fk sway, but his fk sobat came out and I ended up eating a level 3 because of it. I was like wtf how did I do qcb and get qcf input? So I looked at replays immediately after like wtf. And sure as shit, I did a qcb and the damn sobat came out. After looking at it in slow mo, I could finally figure out WHY it happened. Took me a while to figure it out but thought I'd post the video here. Typically if my opponent is not in the corner, I will do b.fk and cancel into fk.sway after the first hit of b.fk. But when they are in the corner, I will let both his of b.fk hit and then do fk sway so I can continue a juggle combo. But since Cammy was kind of close to the corner, I wanted to see if I could carry her into the corner to do the corner juggle, which is why I did not try to cancel after the first hit of b.fk. So that was my reasoning for not canceling after 1 hit in this instance. I just wanted to preface it with that though. After eyeballing that video in slow mo though, it made sense to me why that sobat came out. Volta, Pair of Rooks, Doctrine_Dark and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment
