Fake FRCs

[Xeno]

Ok it's 6:30 am where I'm at and I don't even know how I'm awake but this idea came to me the instant I woke up. What if there were fake FRCs? You'd see the blue (or RCs, red) flash, hear ROMaNTIC!, but nothing would happen. Don't think this woud cost any tension.. dunno. Mindgame. P+K+D or P+K+S+D during any(??) move.

[Mr_Gatotsu]

Sounds kinda... meh? I mean, if it didn't cost anything, why wouldn't you just be flashing all over the place to mask your real FRCs? Hell if I know... I don't think they would be TOO terribly useful as a mindgame. I mean, you pretty much know which normals your opponent can RC or FRC to get anywhere. If someone does a jab, then a FRC flash appears, I wouldnt think much of it. But, like I said, Hell if I know.

[Hideki]

This is whe weirdest shit I've ever read.

If this were in the game, then the thing to do would be to always Fake when ever you weren't doing a real one. A much less obnoxious implementation of the same idea would be to remove all the current F/RC effects.

[TGS]

There's already one. Millia's stand-alone S Disc FRC.

[TGS]

Uh....Robo-Ky's 5H?

Also Testament's 5D?

Um, Robo-Ky's 5H actually hits the opponent... :8/:

Edit: Forgot Jam 2D if done early enough.

But if you really want to get technical, an FRC where nothing happens would be Millia's S Disc stand-alone and Jam's 2D at earliest frame. Everything else has something happening in some sort of manner (i.e. Testy making his hitbox smaller for a certain amount of time, Robo-Ky attacking, I-No STBT moving her forward, etc.)...

I'm pretty sure he's talking about roman-cancels that do everything but cancel. ?..

[TGS]

Oh wtf. Then there's no point to it if you think about it. Unless you like spamming pretty blue rings everywhere or something...

[DJ Xero]

maybe 3% a piece? then you can't just spam them.

[Digital Watches]

maybe 3% a piece? then you can't just spam them.

Well, that and add the F/RC tension gain bonus, since 3% is easy as fuck to build.

[Xeno]

Well I was thinking you could game during pressure eg do an unsafe, high GB move at the end of your string, Fake RC it so the red flash appears but you only use 25% tension and your opponent stays still instead of punishing you b/c they think you are in neutral state.

[Spirit Juice]

Oh man I can't wait to do this with Sol... oh wait all of his FRCable moves suck balls on block anyways.

[reaVer]

Except for Gun Flame...

[fabiano]

Don't push the mind game too far guys, it alredy give me headache:psyduck:

[bbq sauce]

This is only good if the fake FRCs have actual FRC points.

[holy diver]

This is only good if the fake FRCs have actual FRC points.

LOL! :yaaay:

[TITANIUM BEAST!!!]

Except for Gun Flame...

-2 on block at point-blank range, but is also punishable as all getout on reaction in most situations. Gun Flame with no FRC = Sol wants to die.

[purify]

This would be stupid. A creative idea perhaps, but...no.

[Xeno]

. Probably, yeah. It *could* make for some mindgames though.. eg VV (fake RC), they stay in block. Anyways, /thread.
