The teching system in BB is fine on paper, but the problem is that many characters cannot punish tech rolls. If they can punish them, most of the time it's not very well. There is nothing wrong with keeping the tech roll system in the game, but some adjustments should be made. IMO, Melty Blood's system is pretty solid, as there is a tech system, but you're forced to make a tech decision as soon as you hit the ground. Something like that could improve tech roll system, or maybe just make them easier to punish (less invulnerability frames).

My point is that in BB, throws SHOULD be rewarding when you land them because they are so awful in terms of landing them. If they're going to nerf the damage return from throws, they NEED to make them faster (three to four frames would be good) and have a smaller tech window.

I'm not sure I agree with throws prorating so hard when they're still seven frame start up and have a thirteen frame tech window. Throws should only prorate so hard if they actually made them faster/harder to tech. At this point, going for a throw seems pretty pointless.

This is a gameplay thread. Take the new OP talk elsewhere.

Yes, NCR is this weekend, you baka gaijin swine.

So I should be in the Milpitas area around 7ish. Not sure how close we'll be to MGL, but if I can make it, does anyone want to meet up there to play some BBCS? Also, anyone going to bring BBCS to BYOC at NCR?

Doesn't matter since that move is -38 on block anyways.

Inafune does have a point about current JP developers, but yeah I think he's a little ignorant about Western developers. It's not like Western aren't guilty of just churning out the same shit over and over just to make money and don't bother being creative. That said, Clover Studios/Platinum Games is probably the best developer in the business right now, IMO. All of their games have been extremely creative and, for the most part, unique... which I can't say is true for 99% of the rest of the industry.

Inversely, IB nerf means Tager's defensive options are worse.

I would imagine air IB got nerfed too... so yeah, probably what FlyingVe said. Maybe ASW's idea on BB is to make it very new player friendly, and then slowly tune the game into something more solid so that it eases people in to the changes. Players that have been playing since CT would adapt pretty smoothly, and eventually, when we get the fourth BB game (if you count CS2 as the third), we'll have a real game!

B sledge is +2 on normal block, meaning it's only -3 on IB and unpunishable by anything except 720. Either way, IB needed to be nerfed. It was either nerf the window to IB, nerf the advantage, or both. Glad they did something about it.

IB nerf sounds great. Glad they finally nerfed it in some way, although I would have preferred they nerfed the window instead of the advantage you get from it.

What Sac players? lol

If Dacid or Zidane (or anyone who wants to troll in regards to their trolling) post in this thread one more time I'm fucking banning them for a week. This is not a threat, but a promise.

This thread is lucky I was busy while all that stupid bullshit from earlier was going on. I was about to close this thread and make brand new one if that shit didn't clear up, but it did.

Point being is if my poverty ass can drive 2-3 hours once a month for a tournament, you other fucking faggots can too. "Too far" is not a fucking excuse.

Carpooling with Reno friends, so no. ;(

I like this.

I am.

I fucking hate this word, and I fucking hate the assholes that use it. This is a competitive gaming site, and if you don't like "tourneyfags", then get the fuck out. Or maybe I'll just banish you into the "no gameplay" user group so you can just talk about Mu's ass and Platinum's flat chest in BB General.

Capslock and exaggeration is the name of the time but the point remains!

HEAVEN FORBID SOMEONE HAS TO DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES TO FUCKING GO TO A ONCE A MONTH TOURNAMENT. OH WAIT, I DRIVE 2-3 HOURS, DEPENDING ON IF I HAVE TO PICK UP FAGGOTS LIKE SONITI OR COOPA ONCE A MONTH, EVERY MONTH TO GO TO THESE TOURNAMENTS. IT'S ALMOST AS IF I HAVE A REASON TO COMPLAIN MORE THAN OTHER PEOPLE.

Except that has never happened.

I thought there was a recent blog note saying that j.2C must be blocked high now.

I know the BB regulars would show up, so I don't care about that. I'm pretty much talking how the GG/MB regulars wouldn't show up cus they're lazy fucks that don't want to drive farther than 30 minutes.
