Zeron_X25 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Love watching people salty about Azrael. Makes my day. In general, everyone has to block more. Mashers will mash regardless of the character. And no I won't continue to IB shitty mixups consisting of telegraphed gatlings for the 60th time in a match. I will 360/backdash the living hell out of you until you learn how to counter it. Not sure what they're gonna do with Growler but it's not gonna affect every matchup the same. It's practically useless in the Hakumen matchup for example. Also how is the Leopard Launcher wallstick gonna affect him I wonder. Does that mean no more RC IAD combos? Not sure how wallstick works anymore. So it's like CS1 -> CS2 Bang transition ?
mariusrhpsd Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Why would they ever give Tager useable tools other than to take them away in the next patch? some invul or gp for the hammer cancel of vc would be nice too, but oh well, we can always go back to our higher tier/better matchup alt
Yaaay Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 If I'm understanding this google translate properly, the new guard cancel overdrive was added because they originally wanted people to take advantage of OD's invincibility to disrupt pressure but a lot people didn't bother because they would accidentally get a regular burst instead. So they added a guard cancel. Interesting change. I'm curious to see what they think of it at the loctest this week. This is correct. In the interview, they gave the example of Ragna doing 2a 6b. After blocking Ragna's 2a, you can guard cancel overdrive and interrupt it.
Blackwing55 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Some of these supers are crazy good starters too (looking at you Houtenjin, Wait..... what? When was Houtenjin a good starter? It's like a 5A or chain a small starter with not so great proration.
wiredgod Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 This is correct. In the interview, they gave the example of Ragna doing 2a 6b. After blocking Ragna's 2a, you can guard cancel overdrive and interrupt it. So what's the drawback to guard cancel > OD? Does this just beat everything?
BlackYakuzu94 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I can always count this thread to be entertaining when there's a new update.
NecroTheReaper Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I'd say part of the fun is knowing your favorite character is able to beat another character. Feeling accomplished I guess. Like, lets say your character has 25 out of 26 bad MUs, you think the people playin thid character are gonna have "fun"?
D.R.F. Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 If THEY can win? You better fucking believe it lol
Soviet Bear Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I'd say part of the fun is knowing your favorite character is able to beat another character. Feeling accomplished I guess. Like, lets say your character has 25 out of 26 bad MUs, you think the people playin thid character are gonna have "fun"? I'm not sure if it's a company-wide philosophy, but I recall an interview with Daisuke where they said they made certain characters in GG intentionally weaker for people who like to play the underdog. "As long as you get rewarded for investing in a character, it's fine if they're weaker" or something along those lines. I'm guessing BB also has a similar approach, but the disparity between character capabilities just seems larger. I guess if you have fun winning, you shouldn't pick the weaker character?
someonewhodied Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I'm sorry what? I'm sorry, you must not frequent the US arcade lobby often. Most of the azrael players in it whine about everything, even as things are currently.
rei-Scarred Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I'm probably the only Bang player that perceives this as a bad thing, but it's true none the less https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BuYTH9tCQAAWz6z.png:large
NecroTheReaper Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I don't think its kinda fair to call out "Az" players, because so many people know nothinf about the game when they pick up the scrub trio: Ragna, Terumi, and Azrael.
JyakotuKurayami Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 CP 2.0 needs to nerf Litchi and Hazama. Nerf Makoto and Tager even further. Buff Carl and give him 10,000 life and let me combo from Cantabile again.
BloodWolF Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Shots being fired left and right in here. Somebody buy these boys a missile defense system!
Vulcan422 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Some reports are saying Litchi got buffed. Apparently she has her 1.0 OD back so you can mash out the inputs again.
No Limitz Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Shots being fired left and right in here. Somebody buy these boys a missile defense system! They can just growler the shots. :D Where are people getting these other sources of information from? Was there another interview outside of the famitsu one or has the loketests literally started on the 7th for Japan?
A.X.I.S. Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I'm sorry, you must not frequent the US arcade lobby often. Most of the azrael players in it whine about everything, even as things are currently. Azrael players exist? who is this most?
JyakotuKurayami Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Some reports are saying Litchi got buffed. Apparently she has her 1.0 OD back so you can mash out the inputs again. Great, even more of a reason for me to hate this bitch and her stick.
Shyn Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Some reports are saying Litchi got buffed. Apparently she has her 1.0 OD back so you can mash out the inputs again. ...I need to stop reading this thread. She wasn't mentioned in the interview, and It's 6:50AM in Japan right now. The loketest hasn't started yet.
Argent Zero Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Hopes, despair, and the utterly confused. Update 2.0. Hitting arcades in the fall! (console update TBA) But seriously, let's try to get it together. They only released so much you know.
Blackwing55 Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 If there are streams of the loketest or videos can someone link where to find them after the fact.
SixWingedAngel Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Izayoi - "Aegis Blade" is now a reversal move with invincibility VERY SORRY GG
RifleAvenger Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Wait..... what? When was Houtenjin a good starter? It's like a 5A or chain a small starter with not so great proration. Oops, my bad. I meant I get kicked in the face for normally safe pressure, he corner carries, I eat the next mixup for Hazama damage, and then I die.
TekkamanArk Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 CP 2.0 needs to nerf Litchi and Hazama. Nerf Makoto and Tager even further. Buff Carl and give him 10,000 life and let me combo from Cantabile again. I'm sorry, did I just basically read "nerf my bad matchups for me and buff my character because I say so"?
