Ok, cool.

Scorp. I havn't used him at all, yet.

@Nick – not sure if you care about Raiden, but I did find better corner
damage for him off the overhead:

B+2, b+2, b+1,4 xxShocker, b+1,4 LRC, 214 superman – it’s 45% damage with
hard knockdown and seems pretty easy to hit. Looks to be about the max I
can get with 1 bar.

I never knew you could play the game with Silvia as well.

2 versions of Joe, Captain Blue, Silvia, Dante and Alestor. That's a lot

Speaking of retarded IT departments, after the last windows patch, my
audio stopped working. Google Chrome stopped working. Remote Desktop
stopped working. I spent about 6 hours trying to figure out what the
problem was. Ran 4 anti-virus scans. I contacted IT helpdesk and they
told me I probably have a virus.

Turns out their silly Enterprise Anti-virus software was the cause. If I
disable it everything miraculously works again.

Ya, if he's locked in the attack, you can't hit him until he recovers from
it. Then he can just block.
You can combo it after any other attack hits though.

So, unblockable to destroy = whiff
Unblockable to attack to destroy = victoly

Not even when you got the requirements down? (Opp at 20% you on full bar)

I know that if you dont meet the requirements then it is impossible to
combo any Destroy. They just dont hit and go straight through people even
tho it should technically combo.

The first two are post patch.
The overhead is great, but Elphelt can still give you a slice of wedding
cake if you try to use it on knock-down
I struggle to get any loops, but it looks like you have to hit your
opponent super-low with it.

Protip - you cannot unblockable - RC - into Destroy :'(

Had a quick screw around with Axl in Xrd. Found some stuff I didnt know.

His Jump D wallsplats :O
His unblockable if you RC early the opp stays on the ground and you can
run/punsh the opp into the corner before you combo
6H seems to almost always hit crouching elphelt meaty. Ie you can combo
afterwards without a RC.
Bomber loops are still hard :P


Also came to the conclusion that I dont feel MKX enough to learn a new
character(Tremor) so ill just stick to EB (Or goro if I feel I need a
challange :P)
Havent really played since they fixed the Njp timing stuff so I constantly
jumping without getting any attacks :P

Also the game is far from finish...not all characters a released and some
of the top players have to settle for their 2nd or find a new character to
play.



The loading time is nuts for a fighting game nowadays. Graphics might be
slightly better than SC5. SC5 had instant reply load time.

Tekken 7 should’ve been a side tournament there. Create hype for the all
the FG players who are there, get some shots out. Stream a few matches of
real players showing their stuff – that sort of thing.

Having T7 on a stream as a full game was stupid. Those loading times…

I agree with Nick. Hell, I’d have preferred watching some real KOF games
despite being a massive Tekken fan and KOF noob.

Yeah, I'm not pro US for Evo or anything but it didn't feel very fair imo.



I get wanting to advertise the game as early as possible but maybe hold
off on making it a 'tournament game' at Evo until it's available to the
people expected to participate.

I don't think they will change it. It seems Tekken 7 and SFV were
developed were the same mindset - nerf the "cheap" stuff that beginner
players find hard to learn and to overcome. Pushback in Tekken 7 was also
nerfed, just like SFV. Movement was nerfed. Just like SFV. The only
difference is in T7 they basically admitted that the reason for nerfs was
to make it easier for beginners to beat veterans. In SFV they just spun it
like this: "The name of the game is commitment. You need to be confident
that your move will land otherwise you will get punished". It's just the
same nonsense. Anyone who has been playing fighting games for a while
knows why this is a terrible idea.

I kinda put my finger on what I don't like about SFV, besides the crappy
movement and terrible range. There is virtually no pushback on block any
more. You can no longer safely use projectiles as a poking tools. Sweeps
are unsafe even if blocked at max distance. The philosophy about
"commitment" is just an excuse to cover up the same old story we've seen
countless times - the progressive nerfing of movement and normals.

Congratulations LB, you finally got the game you wanted. I will no longer
be able to beat you by sweeping you to death. Well, I'd probably still be
able to do it. It will just be as boring for me to win with it as it is
for you to die from it.
