I played it yesterday and I couldn't sidestep any strings. I sidestepped Hitomi's 6pk and was HCB'd by the the k everytime. Her power punches can't be sidestepped right away because they hit the sidestep after it's finished; it needs to be delayed, and it's not easy.

Sidesteps the way they are, aren't viable imo. They only sidestep in their first few frames; any second attack in a string will hit and get HC.

I dunno how you can or can't be familiar with mechanics in NG... I mean, If I mashed, I mashed. I'll give you NG1, it wasn't easy, but NG2 was just mash. Mashed potatoes, mashed yams; you name it, it was mashed.

So it's the same as the old NG's? lol The IGN video just explained everything NG has always been; mashing buttons unless you're on a hard difficulty, and bad camera angles.

I didn't watch very long; how much was the ground game touched on?

Have you been watching? From what I can tell the higher level players are loving the game See, I don't play fighting games for music, or story, I play because I enjoy using my head, I enjoy the learning experience. So to say the game isn't good because the music sucks or the story is lame is...

I think SFxT is amazing; it's hella fun. After playing DOA, how can you complain about ease of combos? -_- It's the online, it can be fixed. It's just music. The sound cutting in and out online will be fixed. What story? Fighting games aren't known for stories. Why do you think...

I didn't see this. I see what you mean, but I don't want to play Normal online.

I'm concerned about holds though.

This is where I agree with JR. I don't agree with putting it on Normal Life just because it's more balance. It makes every character need to guess more, and with holds the way they are I think that's the better option. You're already playing matches with more then one round, I don't see the...

^ That was what I meant.

Holds create an unbalanced game; taking them out means no need for a stun system. That's still not Tekken. People want it out because it makes no sense.

More or less. A hold is instant, and gives you instant damage. When you attack someone you have the risk of being held, it doesn't really make sense (Unless you get a launch on Counter Blow); it's not very balanced. Holding is usually a better option then crushing because you get guaranteed...

As long as everybody's on the same page.

Then the stun threshold should be shortened. It would be almost pointless to have critical stuns otherwise. Stuns were made to risk lengthening them to get a higher launch. If you take out the risk there's no point having them there. The only other alternative is SE, but I don't see a...

I have to side with Raansu. Even if it's some parry type thing that sets both characters back at neutral and does no damage, I think there should be something for short stuns; assuming they don't completely overhaul the stun system. If the stun threshold were smaller it wouldn't matter if it...

I think they should leave them in, but only for the ability to escape select small stuns; like how you would break a combo throw. I'm also starting to think that they should take damage away from holds in critical completely. Not normal holds obviously, just ones in critical.

I agree as far as the average Joe, and everyone having their own opinon. My comment was directed at the article UncleKitchener posted. though. But I don't agree with not playing a game because of one small visual change. Assuming your a DOA fan, not playing the game because they took out...
