HoudiniJr100 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 ah, well I remembered an ending in AC+ So I got curious. *shrug* thanks for the clear-up.
the_d3v Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 All I can really say is that, sometimes, effective balance doesn't look how we expect or want it to look. Even if the meter system is based around using 25% moves most of the time, and the 50% ones are less useful, that doesn't mean it's actually bad for the game. I'd even say that, from a move creation standpoint, putting less critical things at 50% makes sense, because a character will have less opportunities to use a 50% move than a 25% move during the match. If you move the most critical or important tools to the top end of the cost spectrum, matches become very swingy based on who has meter, and certain characters become cripples without large amounts of meter that they probably won't have when they need it. By putting it at 25%, you make it so that powerful tools can get used reasonably often, but still have limitations. If I remember right, you do balance work, so this is probably not a forgiving argument to start That defeats the purpose of meter, which is to put a limit on powerful options. In other words, the higher cost options should be stronger because they cost higher can be used less times than the lower cost options. This also leads to interesting quandaries and/mind games where you are forced to choose between spending meter now for a lesser option, or saving it for a better option - that's basic meter management in a nutshell. Make the 25% option better and you ruin that since there's now almost no reason to go for the 50% option. This also leads to interesting mind games where a player can try to force their opponent to use their meter at the wrong times to limit their options.
TPPR10 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I'll be damned if we never get to see That Man's 3 underlings together, playable, in the same game lol What is you and your obsession with that dude?
SolxBaiken Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 When you are shown some d-bag for well over a decade, you kinda just want to know who the hell he is lol We've only had 2 images of the dude in all this time and don't know jack about him, barely even see him... I mean crap, at least Raven was an NPC for the longest...

SolxBaiken Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Forget the story, I just want to see who the hell this dude is! He's like the Q of GG, but better, because EVEN LESS is known about him :s
LeonD Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Forget the story, I just want to see who the hell this dude is! He's like the Q of GG, but better, because EVEN LESS is known about him :s Looks like you forgot someone! XD
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I'm back at the loketest but I can only stay for a couple more hours. I promised my wife we would watch our city fireworks show together. I found some more observations and can better clarify many things that were asked. Ill post it on my 2 hour train ride back to Gunma so expect more info in a few hours.

TheMonsterKing Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 id really like to know what moves are different when in dragon install with that tyrant rave beam though omg i am already in love even though sol's gear form looks really goofy
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 All other DI moves are like AC DI is time based and sol gets tired like always when it wares off
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I saw ride the lightening invuln frames on start up pass right through dark angel
TheMonsterKing Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 ah aight does that mean you cant do bandit bringer during DI?
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Venom has corner air loop combo vs PO for like 3 reps using the new dust. K s HS d, jump again repeat. Saw 2 reps work mid screen on Ky
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 All Ky's projectiles including the super one are enhanced by the lightening seals. Each one gets different effects. RTL doesn't do anything w seal.
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Sol's stage is totally a mixed random mess of all things 'Merca! There's even a fat sherrif guy that one bites entire hamburgers at once, and he's very fat. Sitting under his American flag with his feet up on a barrel that says "danger"
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Venom can charge his new QV move to make the balls as large as charge stinger aim
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 If you have full bar, venom can summon his new super ball twice and they both remain on screen.
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Millias new 6hs does 2 hits and 2nd hit knocks down. Long range
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 After you win a round you can still do an extra hit or so against opponent and you can even RC if you have meter for fun
LeonD Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I saw ride the lightening invuln frames on start up pass right through dark angel LOL WUTT???? Passing right through Dark Angel? That's crazy!
ElvenShadow Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Forward follow up dust combos are possible mid screen but timing is a little stricter than in corner or using up follow up
