    Living in harmony with rabid casuals? (Rikuto's dangerous "opinion")

    Yea, I do. From the ground you're guessing on the wakeup game. From neutral you're still guessing, nothing has priority and the situation has not changed. So why SE? Delaying the inevitable is not improving your odds. You're just choosing to make the decision two seconds later instead of...

    Team NINJA: Archiving game data for the future

    I'll admit I skipped to the pretty poster at the end.

    Living in harmony with rabid casuals? (Rikuto's dangerous "opinion")

    Why SE? I could just as easily counter you. Might even get more payout, too. SE is another option but it's hardly essential.

    Holds in Critical State -- just get rid of the damn thing already?

    Because I dislike tekken's movement, control scheme, hit detection, buffering system, netcode, environmental physics and the oversized roster in general. What I would prefer to play over Tekken would be DOA 5, without holds in stun. That would fulfill all the logical needs that a competent...

    Slow escaping is not essential to playing DOA lol.

    Living in harmony with rabid casuals? (Rikuto's dangerous "opinion")

    I highly doubt that. You're probably just remembering shit you randomly forgot. Happens all the time with DOA 4. There isn't enough in this game to learn anything after one year, let alone six. If you want to learn a fighting game you look for player resources. Anyone who expects the game to...

    Living in harmony with rabid casuals? (Rikuto's dangerous "opinion")

    What does this have to do with anything? It didn't take me years of practice to figure out that the hold system was a guessing game. It doesn't take the average scrub longer than a day or two to figure out how to use it effectively either. Even C rank trash will still counter you. It doesn't...

    Living in harmony with rabid casuals? (Rikuto's dangerous "opinion")

    People often misinterpret their own ability to counter as having fast reflexes... but it's bullshit. I don't, you don't. Nobody does. You can react to those easily telegraphed moves, but thats about it. Anyone saying otherwise is kidding themselves. It's a damn guess. You can figure out...

    Holds in Critical State -- just get rid of the damn thing already?

    They claimed they wanted the game to be played competitively. They said they wanted it in tournaments like EVO. I heard them say this in person. Until I am told otherwise, I am operating 100% on the assumption this is still true. Even if it wasn't true, it doesn't really matter. System changes...

    Holds in Critical State -- just get rid of the damn thing already?

    Or you could just get rid of holds in stun and have the game play like a competent fighter that people actually want to play. Your solution does not address the problem. It doesn't matter if DOA 4, 3 or 2 era players think there is a way to make it perfectly playable. Nobody outside of the DOA...

    Wall of Shame

    The great part is, RB is assigned to A+B by default. That's not a throw. He was using control type C and failed to even realize it, yet acted with a teenage superiority complex. OP updated with some more salt. I'll see if i can't fish out some more rage tomorrow.

    Holds in Critical State -- just get rid of the damn thing already?

    3.1 is not proof of anything. It's a more playable version of DOA, but it doesn't show that anyone whatsoever is willing to play it in a tournament environment. What would be playable in that environment is DOA without CS holds. You should know this because it's what everyone always complains...

    Living in harmony with rabid casuals? (Rikuto's dangerous "opinion")

    There is no contradiction, and I didn't call anyone a scrub inparticular. The spectrum is not about how people behave socially, it's about the level of work they put into something they care about to get the most out of it. The fact that a ton of social stereotypes come into it at all happens to...

    Living in harmony with rabid casuals? (Rikuto's dangerous "opinion")

    That is, in a nutshell, it. Hardcore and Casual are probably best defined as being the two ends of a spectrum of willingness to learn, with the scrub in the middle being unable to become either. Others might try to define it by certain aspects or particular activities, but that is how I view...

    Holds in Critical State -- just get rid of the damn thing already?

    I wouldn't call it an article. It doesn't even have the intermittent funny pictures that distract from the author's poor written argument. Then again, it doesn't take much to beat Xino.

    Possibly. List updated with some SCV salt.

    Holds in Critical State -- just get rid of the damn thing already?

    Such as leaving it in, and completely pissing off every fighting game enthusiast that tries the game? It really is black and white. That is why there cannot be a compromise on this. A normal fighting game fan can pick up tekken, then hop to street fighter, then hop to soul calibur. He'll play...

    Nah, remember he started using Aerosmith music as soon as DOA 3, which was right after DOA2HC

    Holds in Critical State -- just get rid of the damn thing already?

    Nah, you got em backwards. Seems to me the director has more active control over a project. Hayashi just dips his hand into every little thing a bit and puts people where they need to be. I imagine that anything too complicated for him to understand, like system changes, he just leaves to...
