If a character is designed with their gameplan revolving around getting in to get that one throw (and the execution requirement is high enough), then it's fine.

Other than safe backdashes, there is nothing wrong with all the other things listed there. In fact, IMO throws have been too weak in the current crop of fighting games (except maybe Skullgirls).

She's actually wearing less than Ivy does nowadays in that one.

And Irene Lew. Don't forget about Irene, for a CIA agent, all she's done so far is act as a damsel in distress for Ryu to rescue.

Guessing should only happen during the neutral game. Having to guess as a reward for getting in/good offense is plain dumb.

This isn't any different from the online of any other fighter, except the underlined part, that's standard fare for any fighter on or offline.

It's partly that, but there's also the fact that, despite Sabin (Arturo Sanchez's) best efforts, MLG folks don't seem to respect FGs, or at least the community much, which resulted in some terrible streams as well as some questionable rules (e.g. winning the winners final not giving you a twice...

Because fighting games are more than just what happens when someone gets hit confirmed. The neutral game is just as, or even more important. Footsies, spacing, blockstrings, offense, etc. are the actual meat of any fighting games. The problem is that scrubs don't know jack shit about playing the...

From a general FG perspective, it's more than just that. "Yomi" is know to do X-move at a certain time because you've read that your opponent will do Y-move.

And what exactly is wrong with maining a top tier character, in Marvel where the metagame has always been about finding the top tier characters with abusive shit to abuse? P.S. UMvC3 is popular because it builds upon the legacy of not just any game, but America's Game aka Marvel vs. Capcom 2...

But does it really matter? Isn't "yomi" (aka, the art of reading your opponent) an important part of any fighting game?

This is off topic but the issue with crouch tech is that it's another option given to players while crouching/holding down back (this is why you can't do it in Skullgirls, because the players hate the concept so Mike Z made sure it wouldn't be in his game).

IV is meh because you can do shit like crouch teching.

You can only do so in a select few SF games (3S, IV). You could not tech in the classic ones, in fact one of the best things about ST was that you could be an ass with 'Rog and tick throw your opponent to death. And no, command throws can be stuffed if you know the frame data.

I don't know what FGs you're talking about, but I hope you're not including 2D ones in that list as reading is an important part of some of the best 2D fighters - 3S and GG both require that you input the tech at the almost exact same time as the opponents throw; meanwhile in SSF2T, if you...

From the initial videos, I thought they made her look more Asian. Glad to see that isn't the case and she still looks somewhat caucasian.

You're probably reading too much into it. Those are 10 characters, add in the ninja sisters and you have 12.

Someone show that "50% damage" bit to Xino at TKP. I'd love to see the salt.

Drink anyway Moon. I drank before class back in college and it never kept me from getting a B+ average.

You can get it from the official site.
