The neutral game in VS is somewhat like MvC2 and Melty where you are
rapidly moviing around the screen pressing buttons and then attacking when
you see an opening because of non-optimal positioning on the opponent's
side. If you are losing to players who are good a slowing down the pace of
the game, it means you are probably relying too much on reads based
offense. The opponent will intentionally create situations where you think
it's a good idea to jump (ie. they create the illusion of non-optimal
positioning), only to punish you with chicken-block hit-and-run tactics.
So what happens is that because you can't rely on these reads any more, you
back up and try to bait them instead (does this sound familiar? -_-).

The way around this is to realize that the opponent is not going to
attack, but then instead of jumping (or whatever they were trying to bait
out), you use another offensive strategy. Like if you were always jumping,
dash instead and then start your tri-jump pressure after you get them to
block.

However, T7 have did brought back older veterans from the

TTT2. TTT2
was too much of a mess when it comes to tag combos, tag assault

pretty decent.

T7 have those odd T5 mini combos along with "bound" combos
too. Like Lei's uf4 f~2 f~2 f~2 ff34 nonsense lolz. So far the
game is
still in beta. I can see some of the characters (especially the
recycled
ones like LUCKY CHLOE! and Gigas) needs work. They added moves
from other
characters which are completely useless in every way. They even
said they
added those move so people have familiarity to older characters

True, and in SFV's case they deviated a lot from their
original hype line of high damage/stun. Damage is on par
with SFIV now,
and even less in some cases.

But sometimes you can also be more-or-less aligned with
the vision, but not with the strategy to achieve the goals,
or even the
implementation of the strategy.

Simplified example:
Vision - Ono and Harada say they want more people to play
fighting games
Strategy - They're going to realise this vision by making
the game more accessible to newcomers *and* shorten the gap
between
beginners and veterans
Implementation - Lower execution barriers, and weaken
tactics beginners find hard to deal with (oki, strong
normals, spacing,
zoning etc)

I completely agree with the vision. I want more people to
play FGs.

I agree that games could be made more accessible. I don't
agree in shortening the gap between beginners and veterans.

I don't have a problem with lowering execution barriers if
it doesn't have a negative impact on gameplay (see Rising
Thunder - 1
button specials make cross-ups useless unless you attack
during cooldown),
and I don't agree that fundamental, tried-and-tested battle
strategies
should be weakened to accommodate new players. I mean, this
is one of the
reasons I play Fighting Games after all.

There are a number of things in a wide variety of
fighting games that l absolutely despise. Do l possess the
necessary
influence as an avid, experienced and long time fighting
game player to
force the developer's hand so that my specific criteria are
met? Not
really. If that truly was the case, many modern fighting
games would most
likely have turned out very differently. The reality of the
matter is that
the arcade scene and mentality will not return. Those days
are long gone
and we have to look to the future, even if that future
contains things that
we can't make sense of; at least, not initially.

Returning to the subject of adaptation versus tolerance,
if the latter is one's immediate reaction to a particular
game, it's safe
to say that you'd know which decision to make. I personally
wouldn't waste
my time on a game that l know l'd only be able to tolerate.

I agree for the most part, but I think that sometimes
adaptation gets conflated with tolerance. For example,
let's say there's a
game that forces a neutral situation after every knockdown.
Now on the one
hand, it's bad for the attacker because they can't maintain
pressure. On
the other, the defender doesn't have to worry about having
to guess on wake
up. So it's an aspect of the game that can work for or
against you. The
problem is, I simply don't like this style of fighting
game. It's exactly
why I quit SFxT. There was rarely ever any tension during
the match
because you could ukemi out of knockdowns, and once you did
score a
knockdown, 80% of the time momentum was simply just reset.
So for me it
was never a case of adapting to ukemi in SFxT (you couldn't
even adapt to
it until v2012 where it became throw punishable), it was
just a question of
whether or not there was anything else in the game that
made up for it
being in the game in the first place.

A few years ago, when T6:BR was released, l hated it.
It didn't feel like the Tekken games l'd played in the
past (T5:DR
specifically, which is tied with the original Tekken Tag
Tournament as one
of my all time fave Tekken games). The emphasis was less
on poke play and
spacing, with a noticeable shift to string-based,
50/50-style gameplay.
TTT2 was an all-out combo fest which barely resembled it's
predecessor. It
had slightly improved movement, but it also had several
glaring flaws.

I played both games for a long time. I wanted both
games to be something they weren't and would never be.
Personally, l've
made peace with the fact that newer fighting games will
not emulate the
gameplay that vets favour. You'll have to adapt to the new
way of doing
things. Expecting modern fighting games to be virtually
identical to the
games of yore is unrealistic and will only result in
frustration.

When it comes to something like T7 or even SFV, l'd
still be happy to play both games if there is something to
enjoy. If not, l
have so many other fighting games to play that it wouldn't
bother me in the
slightest if these games don't provide a satisfactory
experience. All l'm
saying is, l'm prepared to adapt to the new changes, for
better or for
worse. We live in an age where we aren't always going to
get what we want
as seasoned fighting game players. That's the reality.

In theory it should work like that but in practice it
turns that the shorter distances make certain things
more risky because of
factors like frame advantage and pushback. To put it in
another way,
suppose you have a sword and a knife. You obviously use
the knife for
short range combat, and the sword from further away.
The sword allows you
to play a distance game; knife allows you to attack
quickly from up close.
Now if you reduce the sword to just slightly longer than
the knife, you can
still do the same thing but now it becomes much more
risky because it
because easier for the opponent to counter-attack if
they block. So you
might as well just use the knife.

This is exactly what happened with Ryu's cr.mk and
cr.mp in SFV. cr.mk was his main poking tool. It
had less frame advantage than cr.mp, but it was very
good at controlling space. Now that cr.mp and cr.mk
have the same range, there's no reason to use cr.mk
anymore, especially since it's negative on block.

I generally... don't. It's like you said, in
situations where certain and actions and strategies
become really risky
then defense becomes more important. I wonder if game
developers actually
realise this.

SFV has this same issue. It seems to me that Namco
and Capcom want to make games where reading the
opponent plays a bigger
role than before. In the past, top players would just
stomp on everyone
else because they had superior movement, spacing and
command of their
characters' toolsets. In SFV and in Tekken, toolsets
and basic movement
are nerfed, and spacing cannot be used as effectively
to control the
opponent because of the lower pushback. This shortens
the gap between top
and lower levels, but also leads to high risk/high
reward play, or
situations where neither player is a willing to commit
to a move.
