Critical Bursts Q/A
- Thread starter Brute
- Start date
I had heard it was the piercing void he used in that ending. I figured it was just slightly altered visually due to pre-render quality (not effect discrepancies on A-152 from in-game to pre-renders).
Wow, so they actually aged the characters for once? It did seem a little silly that DOATEC held so many tournaments in less than one years time span.
Any idea when NG3 takes place? I know chronology is not their thing with both series, but I'm curious with the way Ryu's hair was cut short in that, but then shown back long again in Dimensions (clearly not leaving him enough time to re-grow it that much). It kinda lead me to believe it took place after DOA4, but usually NGs occur before DOA.
Well, anyway, Off-topicness aside, I'm actually glad the critical bursts have been nerfed. The counters have been overpowered in the past (4), but I do appreciate the triangle system and don't want to see it handicapped.
edit: @Forlorn: Beats me. xD
Some. Why?
Lei-Fang has 2 CB too from what I hear.
If it's that half-screen jump-knee than he still has it as of the Alpha demo.I wonder if Hayabusa still has his
And IIRC it leads into the Ongyoin.

I can only speak for how it works with Helena, if you land her
it cause a deep stun outside of landing CB. I'd think it would be the same for other characters.

got a question though if critical burst would have stayed at 3 hits wouldn't we see it too often
No such thing as too often for things like that.

I don't think so. It would just make it useful. The CB still has to connect and most characters only have one move with CB properties. So the offensive player would have to be smart about it.

I don't even understand why the CB is even in the game anymore at this point. What happened TN? You were doing good, then someone in your team threw shit at a fan and got it all over everyone >_>

Honestly? I think the original intent of the CB was to give power blows a purpose. Prior to E3 they were pretty useless outside of whiff punishment. With CB's they have a bit more of an impact on the game. Granted I don't agree with the changes and I think it should go back to how it was in the E3 build, but this is my take on why it was changed.

I believe it was changed to grant more chances to hold.
Hmm I guess Punishere misinformed me.
I don't mind either way. The CB was still a threat in the latest build we got our hands on; it just required more work to get to it. While I don't think it's very important to some characters anymore, it still benefits some of the cast. Really, that's about the same as relying on any other core mechanic like throws and such. Some characters simply have more use of them. That's how I'm seeing it, anyway. Doesn't need to be a universal system mechanic like counter holds, despite the chance that it would have been more interesting that way.

Possibly, but I'm still under the impression that its original intent was to just give power blows more meaning during the fight. Without CB's you most likely wouldn't see a power blow very often outside of a whiff punishment.
