I think the problem is that some people have the mistaken belief that having that plateau is better for the game, when history has proven that it isn't. If your meta doesn't grow, then the game dies.

We've already had examples of that. When Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter was released. The game miraculously had none of the brokenness that usually comes with every Versus game. This however made the game very boring as each character approached each other the same way and had the same...

Or they can use one of the many ways to get in and actually win the match, considering that Ryu is mid tier and the top tier characters in the game such as Yun are all rushdown characters who rely on getting in and doing big damage. Even Evil Ryu who is top tier doesn't rely much on zoning...

Might as well admit that you don't understand 2D fighters, especially the more grounded ones like SF (and KoF, etc.). Space control and footsies in Street Fighter (which invented footsies in the first place) happens at mid range, just outside the cr. mid kick distance. This is where players will...

The six button control scheme plus multiple versions of normals and specials all have a purpose. Taking them out would basically not make the game Street Fighter. The best Street Fighter games are all about mid range poking, and the best of those are the ones where you are required to use...

Funnily enough, anyone who actually knows me in the FGC knows that I'm all for easy execution. However, some of the points being shared here, or that people are arguing either aren't too well thought out, or simply make suggestion willy-nily without consideration of how the games work. But DOA...

Missing the point. Mind games come because both players know what the other is going to do. At this point, since player A knows that player B knows that he's going to do setup C, player A instead does setup D because player B isn't expecting it. Of course, this goes into a deeper level when...

It's pretty easy to grasp. High level play is all about refinement, optimization, and efficiency. The goal of any competitive player when developing tech is to maximize their output/reward while minimizing their risk. Because a good chunk of fighting game strategy/tactics are about managing...

I was in touch with alot of SC players during it's competitive run, most of them would disagree with your statements.

Surprised to see something actually pushing for DOA4 on this site's front page, considering what most of us think of it.

Confirmed to have no idea how high level play works.

Giving DOA a run for its money in the "physics" department. Hmm, if you're gonna make a GUI inspired by SFV, then you at least need to take from the games which inspired V's GUI, which are the SFIII games.

People need to stop bringing up the age card, you never know when you might meet someone who's possibly older than you. As for Bushido Blade, there's a reason 2 took out the ability to cripple your opponents legs. Matches became dumb once one or both players became crippled.

Let me just point out that what's being talked about here is looked down upon and at times can be illegal depending on the game and the agreement with the IP holder. If you don't own a broadcast, then don't re upload it to YouTube.

No. The problem is that it takes away one of the most important things that you need to put in any sort of escape/reversal move - a chance to fail (one that's down to player skill). As anyone who knows a thing or two about good fighting game design will tell you, you don't want these mechanics...

Most of the competitive Soul Cal players I've talked in real life or online (in 8WR or otherwise) have stated that they believe that 5 is the most competitive iteration of the series since II. The problem is that majority of SC's fanbase is made out of casuals who could care less about all the...

Current main: Christie Pockets : Momiji Past Mains: Rachel (pre 5U 1.03 set play nerf), Kasumi, Ayane (DOA2)

This isn't exactly true all of the time. First, there's the fact that SE is arguably the safer choice compared to holding. However, there's also the fact that a the actual BnB combos used in this game cannot be SEd. Any good player knows how to limit their opponents options. The other thing...

Yet SCV is praised as one of the most tournament viable entries in the series, which is honestly what matters the most. And Tekken 7 is a step forward for the series. Bound was one of the dumbest things to add to Tekken.
