Well, if you want an honest opinion of my views. I thought the game would be an escape from sf4 since i was getting extremely burnt out at the time. Played the game since may-june ish? when we all went to power GAMES to play till last year NEC where i decided i would fully quit CT. and hey, i got 9th.
Started playing BBCS right as i went back to Taiwan following NEC, got a feel for the game, ecstatic that ragna got buffs. Came back, played at CTF from jan to feb about 3-4 times? and then back to taiwan for me. I played at the arcade almost every day, at least 4-5 times a week. Then around that time before EVO, it occurred to me the same problem that i had with CT. I hated every single matchup. Every single one. There were no fun matchups for me to play in the game. The game just simply felt like work. And it felt dull, lifeless, drawn out. When I was watching match vids of the game, i would simply scroll past through the combos since they took forever or i knew that they were simply going to die either from the damage of the combo or the oki that would come next. Just fast forwarding through everything. So i dropped it and picked up Gundam vs gundam next and a tiny bit of arcana heart. EVO rolled around and I played a tiny bit at evo, entered the evo tourney. Beat some poor sap that remembered me beating him at NEC and then lost my 2nd match since the good old nerves kicked in (eric you should know this well). I then just dropped out and decided to chill at vegas.
welp thats my story.
I just don't like how the way thinking works in this game, there isn't really any. You run in or space out and hit your good buttons which then go into a combo. It's always the same combo. BB made me appreciate GG alot more since you're always not going for the huge combo which you always can get in BB. I sound like eric when i say this, but I try to space and punish in this game. That's all I did. I didn't like rushing down because the frames just didn't feel right at all. If you look at the frame data, moves are what? 8 frames? 13 frames? etc etc, and they're ALL negative.
"BUT THEY CHAIN INTO EACH OTHER YOU SEE"
zzzzzzzz
Pressure in that game was dial a pressure string and hope they get hit by it.
It's just rare to see some clutch stuff in that game
i thought about it, everybody that played at power gamer back when CT came out quit the game. Tarnish, robert 'plafustubo' rufus, jon, pat, matt, i guess xiggurat, and myself. Many more, but to sum it up, everybody dropped it.
