reo's immune to banningWow, i've never had so many likes for a post before, but it gets deleted, and this flame baiting thread is still here?
Just wow.
m2Dave has taken REO up on his offer. Shouldn't this be a done deal now?
Damn, stole my life credo.9-1's for Kabal? That's harsh.
8-2's? Absolutely.
There are characters in this game that simply were not meant to deal with a full-speed Kabal.
"It's called 'Sex Panther'...it's illegal in nine countries..."
There is never a bad time for senselessly quoting Anchorman.Damn, stole my life credo.
What?lol, this looks more like the character that has 1-9 chance to win is likely to do 10% damage and get 90% instead, than take 1 game and lose 9 instead.
9-1 match-up: for each 90% damage the first char does, the second does 10%What?
What?If this all happens to be true...NRS still doesn't know how to balance a game, which is a shame because this game could have still been competitive and fun for another year, not anymore if true.
GGS guys.
It's easily Jade or Sub-Zero.lol it is not sheeva, if it was sheeva, this would be a direct insult to my good friend digimon, sheeva kenshi is not that bad really my darling.
I know champ, but i'm afraid, some players are so passionate for their characters, that they can't use anyone else for their bad matchups, they just want buffs for their char and nerfs for the characters that kick their arses. These players are deeply engaged with their chars like a kid to their toys, sometimes some of these players make their character look worse really and blame it all "on him or her " sorry can't give a hint, it might be male or female.....
Sometimes they even talk like if they joined together in holy matrimony with these toons.
I'm really concerned man, idk what do to help these people, we need everyone on these forums to help this players on this state of mind for when this character affected on this bad matchup on the 12-(-2) or somethng is revealed.
Do we have any good psychiatrists on these forums with a PHD btw? if there is any please send me a message to my mail and and give me some tips on how to approach these member of the community, i don't wanna feel responsible for whatever happen.
Adios!
You'll notice I said if true as opposed to taking their word for it.What?
how does an 8-2 or 9-1 matchup make the game not fun and competitive anymore? Have you tried Sub-Zero vs Kenshi/Kabal/Kung Lao? Those are horrible matches... yet... I'm still playing. This game is freaking fun man!
I'll be playing this until another MK comes out!!!
It's great that you play low tier characters! There's few things more fun to me in this game than running across a Jade, Sheeva, Stryker, etc in ranked or w/e. Those matches are always exciting b/c I rarely get to play against those fighters whereas... there's about 2103935 kabals out there and it's always the same... Iagb, Iagb.You are aware that I'm still playing too right? The point is such a lopsided balance scale is not competitive nor exciting.
It doesn't mean everything, but why are you guys missing the point? A more balanced game is more hype and exciting than a game that is highly lopsided and unbalanced. Is this a logical conclusion or not on my part?If lopsided matchups meant everything to how fun a game is, ST and 3S, along with a host of other games would really not be fun and the FGC would've died a long time ago.

Being a lopsided match isn't going to make you stop playing your characters, so it shouldn't really matter and IMO there are definitely some matches in this game that are worse than 7-3. It only makes the game less exciting when everyone is playing the same character. That's why I'm always rooting for the Jeremiahs, Detriots, and Tom Bradys.
I guess my point is... having bad matchups doesn't make the game less than we thought it was.
Looks like lack of match-up experience to me.Looks A LOT like an 8-2.
It is 3-7. Trust me on this one.Baraka has alot more than a punchers chance.In fact id say 6-4 kabal.
I dont think so. There's really not much else Sheeva could do and GGA Jeremiah had just beaten Cat (another Kabal player) the game before this.Looks like lack of match-up experience to me.
Keep in mind I have literally zero Sheeva experience and that my Kabal is way better now than it was months ago. Any Sheeva player who wants to challenge my match up score can play me at tournament.IDK about Kano at all, but Kabal v Sheeva has to be a 7-3 or worse. I'm inclined to say worse.
The match-up plays out very similarly to Zangief v Akuma (3-7) in SF with Gief desperately trying to get in. Sheeva has the punishable tele-stomp, Gief the punishable Banishing Flat. Gief also has a projectile immunity special which Sheeva lacks and his throws are unblockable with insane priority meaning once he gets in, he can really bring some hurt.
Sheeva just doesnt do enough damage in general, imo. Add to that the fact that the block infinite is easier to perform on her than anyone else (giant hitbox). Of course that's all on paper.
Looks A LOT like an 8-2.
OK. I will proudly collect my $20 in front of all of your friends.REO, I accept. FT 10 for $20. If I win two games, the series stops and I get paid.
You forgot I was once an effective knife-throwing and upball-abusing Kano, you fool.
This might not be the matchup, also a player with more skills and knowledge can make the matches look, bad or worse,IDK about Kano at all, but Kabal v Sheeva has to be a 7-3 or worse. I'm inclined to say worse.

Very, very good point. And you are 100% correct. Looking at it, though. It seems like both were doing what they could, and I dont think anyone would argue that these two are te best there is with thier respective characters.This might not be the matchup, also a player with more skills and knowledge can make the matches look, bad or worse,
everytime you see someone getting blown up you only believe is the matchup, believe more in the players players players players
My post was a joking remark. I really wasn't serious lol.It doesn't mean everything, but why are you guys missing the point? A more balanced game is more hype and exciting than a game that is highly lopsided and unbalanced. Is this a logical conclusion or not on my part?
The game hasn't become unfun or horrible, I haven't argued that and I don't think there are 8-2 or 9-1 matches.
You posted earlier in the thread saying this game is finished. That's more of a a nail in the coffin for this game than me saying it's not as fun or exciting anymore if there truly are 8-2 and 9-1 matches (which I'll reiterate that I don't believe there are anyway).
You're not wrong, but you're not right either, it's not a black and white argument. Whilst I can accept your view that good balance can increase character exposure and make a game more interesting, I personally find it much more hype to see a low-tier character battle their way up to the top. In a recent 3S SBO qualifier, the top 4 had Sugiyama's Necro and Hige's Ibuki up there with Haitani's Makoto and Nuki's Chun. That was insanely hype for the exact reason I'm talking about. Same with SBO3 when Kuroda and Hayao took Q and Hugo to the semis.A more balanced game is more hype and exciting than a game that is highly lopsided and unbalanced. Is this a logical conclusion or not on my part?
