Ryuuka Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Being able to combo into throws doesn't make a character a grappler. I'm also pretty sure that out of the 3 playable characters that Aquapizza has, Tamaki has a favorable matchup against 1 of them.
Synthesis Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Nobody wants to play dead games. Satsuki is also sketchy as a real grappler unless she's in BH. Kouma fits the title a lot better. Bite and EX Handjob.
Ryd' Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Bite isn't particularly menacing, the meter cost makes it something that is nowhere near as abusable as things like Pot Buster and the like, and her normal command throw that is comparable to real grapplers' throws (in terms of "I really, really don't want to eat that") is slow and without any kind of protection. EX Arm is a threat, but she doesn't have many ways to force you to jump and risk eating it unless you're in kill range for Bite, unlike real grapplers, who make you afraid to be near them in general when they're capable of doing anything. She strikes me as being a lot closer to a character like Millia or I-No in that her "vortex" focuses on scoring a knockdown, and then run fast high/low/crossup mixup that ends in knockdown and resets the situation, but with EX Arm as a huge perk. "Real" grapplers tend to have a dangerous and always-present throw option in their game to break you down and make you constantly take risks that you generally wouldn't against any other character. Satsuki doesn't instill that mentality in her opponent, which makes her a lot less of a grappler to me.
Greyvangelist Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 TIL Sol is a grappler because he has Wild Throw
Ryuuka Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Okay yeah, I forgot about Sol. Potemkin is only 2nd best grappler.
Chumaralupa Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 I'm pretty sure Chizuru is Tamaki's only bad match-up, and even then the Japanese ranbat vids on Guardcancel show Tamaki winning most of the time. I agree with Carlos, Satsuki isn't really that much of a grappler and that's one of the reasons why I enjoy playing her so much although she technically has command grabs, but does Kouma have an anti-air grab? I dunno how much you can consider him a true grappler either. Now why can't everyone just have a rage in the cage assist like Kira, shit's fun.
LegendaryRath Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Ruben, I think I'll try to grab one of those boards you were talking about. At some point I'll probably get a second stick, and that should be an easy way to get it functional on a 360 as well. Could you give me the link again? I'm far too lazy to read the last several hundred posts.
Chumaralupa Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 http://www.canadianjoysticks.com/akishop-ps360-controller-board/ http://www.focusattack.com/akishop-ps360-multi-console-joystick-pcb/ The reason I told you about these boards is because they work on PS3/360/PC and some legacy consoles, if you're going to buy another stick altogether that pretty much negates the reason to buy the PS360+ as you could just get a Qanba or something, but doing that will cost you a lot more than just getting the $60 board.
LegendaryRath Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Are Qanbas good? I really like my Hori. Was figuring I could get another one but use that board. The stick I have now is dual modded, but very frustrating to use. I think it'll need to be replaced soon.
Chumaralupa Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 Ok maybe I wasn't 100% clear, if you get that board I will put it in your Hori you have for you and it will work dual modded without any issues you're having now.
LegendaryRath Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) That would be pretty nice I suppose. Think we can take a look at the stick part of the stick as well? Now that you mentioned that it's strange, it's really pissing me off. ... Like seriously. Now that you pointed out how stiff it is, I can't stop thinking about it. Frustrating as hell.

LegendaryRath Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Ruben, mind if I give you the cash and you just add an extra board to your order? I'm definitely doing that, since now the stick lever doesn't recognize diagonal inputs. I'll probably just get a new one of those while I'm at it. Luckily Bryce doesn't play fighting games much and might be willing to let me use his stick in the meantime.

LegendaryRath Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Sorry Ted. I really did want to keep playing with you. Getting a connection that fantastic on BB is pretty rare.
LegendaryRath Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 What's a good website to get parts from? I'll probably order a new JLF and possibly some buttons. Then I'll be sure to get that board Ruben was talking about.

LegendaryRath Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Tried calling Bryce but he's not answering, probably still at out. Come to think of it, he was planning on completing all of p4a this week. I can't expect him to let me use that right now.

LegendaryRath Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Another quick question. Which size buttons will I need, 30mm or 24mm? Thanks for the help Jimmy. Oh ya, and what color. I'm thinking of just replacing the A, B, C, and D ones. I'm torn between Green, Red, and Purple. Black would work too. Actually, they would all work... If I'm gonna do this, I might as well have some fun with it, you know?
Theupstreamer Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Ryan that's like the whole point of hobbies. lol

That's why you buy ALL the colors and then switch them out based on 'Mood of the Day'
LegendaryRath Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I kinda need to know which size buttons to get. I think it's 30mm. Someone please confirm this so I can order.
