susano Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I wonder if Lambda will have a new distortion? Its about freaking time either Nu or Lambda got some new distortions for pete's sake.
ElegantShadow Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Did Nu's swords become bigger? No, but strangely enough, they look a bit longer. :o Goodness, I'm loving the new color of Lambda's Drive. Nu's always looked so... meh.
Speakeasy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Did Nu's swords become bigger? 5D looks the same size to me. Lambchops could use a new Distortion, but hey, at least they seem to be giving her new animations.
BloodWolF Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Looking at the small drives of Lambda, I wonder if they'll still be higher projectile level than Nu's.
Speakeasy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 If Lambda's D attacks are all level 2 projectiles, laughs will be shared by people that buy her.
Eshi Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Ugh why are they dumbing down Nu for this. because 99% of Nu players hated the mode change addition. because the mode change mechanic was convoluted and made no sense on a zoner. I am honestly surprised that anyone would be upset about this.
Speakeasy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 because 99% of Nu players hated the mode change addition. because the mode change mechanic was convoluted and made no sense on a zoner. I am honestly surprised that anyone would be upset about this. I'm salty because that was a lot of work to learn stance change stuff, and because it was super flashy, and now it's going to be completely gone. I had tons of fun learning and trying to master it, and I don't regret the experience at all, but now it feels like it was all for nothing.
No Limitz Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 because 99% of Nu players hated the mode change addition. because the mode change mechanic was convoluted and made no sense on a zoner. I am honestly surprised that anyone would be upset about this. Because that 1% that stuck with Nu and learned all her new tools, which are incredibly versatile and fun once you've understood the fundamentals of the character, have just wasted their time because people were too lazy to adapt?
BloodWolF Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Come on guys..let's be serious. I don't think there are enough people playing Nu to get numbers like 99% and 1%.
toanenadiz Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 You could say the same about the dedicated Nu/Lambda mains who put their time and effort through 4 games learning a character only to have her drastically change in CP. And honestly, do you really feel it was a waste of time? Didn't you have fun learning the mode change and didn't it make you a better player?
SoWL Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 The same argument can be said about any character after every balance update.
Eshi Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Because that 1% that stuck with Nu and learned all her new tools, which are incredibly versatile and fun once you've understood the fundamentals of the character, have just wasted their time because people were too lazy to adapt? go ahead and call every prior Nu-13 player lazy if it makes you happy, but Nu-13 is supposed to be the quintessential zoning character of BB and mode change put an incredibly difficult barrier of entry on her. And it didn't even make her that strong, still only mid tier at best.
AchedSphinx Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Well, I'm looking forward to it personally. Learning characters is always a fun part of my fighting game regimen.
No Limitz Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I'm just venting, I really enjoyed having both Nu's zoning capabilities mixed with Lambda's oki and pressure and now having to choose either or at the character select screen instead of adapting mid match really depresses me.
BloodWolF Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I agree that it shouldn't be called a waste of time. It was a ton of fun (and still is), but we still don't know what is coming. We could get some mechanic changes for both of them that give us two characters of this amount of enjoyment to play with. I hope even those of us that really enjoy the stance switching will look back and see it as crap compared to what we have in the new Nu/Lambda. I know being hopeful is usually bad, but fuck it. This is Nu and it's not like I'm going to stop using her or Lambda just because something major changes. They're the reason I play this game...hence my lack of subs.
Speakeasy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 And honestly, do you really feel it was a waste of time? Didn't you have fun learning the mode change and didn't it make you a better player? I loved stance changes to death, and I said so already, but it's really hard not to feel like it was a waste when half of my character is about to be behind a pay wall.
someonewhodied Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 nu only gets real 5CFC combos midscreen because of modechange without that she loses about 3K damage from a 5C confirm. and 2K from most confirms.
BloodWolF Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 If payment is an issue, then that's something else. I never have problems buying character dlc or new versions. I know a lot of people hate it, but honestly, with how much time I've given this game, I could have paid 300 dollars for it back in October and it would STILL be a better entertainment value for my money than any Blu-ray/movie ticket/Adventure game I have ever bought. I want them to have my money so that the games keep coming and the support and community stays.
toanenadiz Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I loved stance changes to death, and I said so already, but it's really hard not to feel like it was a waste when half of my character is about to be behind a pay wall. To be fair, we don't know how the update will be released so the entire update may be behind a pay wall. nu only gets real 5CFC combos midscreen because of modechange without that she loses about 3K damage from a 5C confirm. and 2K from most confirms. They would be changing the combo routes and properties on moves. Hopefully Nu's drives won't be S starters anymore.
someonewhodied Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 also the main problem is that I lose my unblockable setup with the removal of mode-change.
BloodWolF Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Or they'll give her something new to work with. I don't think they're just going to strip her bare and not give her something to fill the gaps. Our combos will change, but either new moves or damage will be adjusted.
Eshi Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 nu only gets real 5CFC combos midscreen because of modechange without that she loses about 3K damage from a 5C confirm. and 2K from most confirms. this is a silly statement. it's not like they're going to literally split the character in half and leave it at that, Nu-13 would lose an entire super if so.
someonewhodied Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 maybe you didn't see what i said. WE LOSE OUR UNBLOCKABLE SETUP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPi4Tx5hcPk Also thats a preview combo that will be in the CMV I'm making.
