Lol I remember this. I wonder if any of those advocates are on TYM....I had somebody on Facebook furiously messaging me months ago about this very complaint. Dude just never backed down and tried to tell me I knew nothing about Fighting Games.
You're not that guy are you?
Just to note, Capcom had to add a new mechanic to "address" a glitch that involved crossups that lead to scenarios where you had to block a certain way within a frame or two, and was not fixable without going pretty far into the engine itself. So it's not entirely like crossups still don't have problems.
That's not a reason why it's objectively better, that's just a difference. Also, you can crouch block in MK too, you don't have to stand and block in order to protect yourself.
Otherwise it's just an opinion parading around as a fact, aka useless.
Left right unblockables did exist in sf4, they may not have looked the same but they were indeed there
An ambiguous cross-up will always cross you up. The ambiguous part comes from how you cannot tell where it will hit, or it looks like it will hit in front. Ambiguous cross-ups always hit cross-up. That is why they are called cross-ups. Ambiguous jump ins are not the same as ambiguous cross-ups
Lol no I've never heard of that. Once you block one side, it doesnt matter whether the assist hits the other side or not, it will automatically block it. High then assist low is a different story or vice versa.
And that was a premature call. He was fine as is.
I remember hearing that the blocking system was changed from mvc3 to umvc3, having trouble trying to find a source for that after all these years. Will continue looking for it.
Think you're mistaking the hitbox. Back in MVC3, people with hitbox could block both ways ..basically like the block button. When UMvC3 came around, they fixed the hitbox so that you could no longer block both directions [left and right]. In fact, they were very close to banning the hitbox.
I might be. Never crossed my mind that I could be mistaking the old hitbox thing. Surprised they never fully banned those at the time
Cross-ups aren't that bad. You just have to get used to it.
Ambiguous cross-ups =/= cross-ups. I have no problem with regular cross-ups.
The ambiguous 50/50 cross-up is hardly braindead. Why, you ask?
Why do you and Anabolichris keep using this talking point? If this was a legitimate line of reasoning, infinites would be accepted and sought after, afterall, it's YOUR fault that YOU got hit by it. Gtfo with that. You can justify the bullshit however you want, it doesn't make it any less bullshit. Getting a knockdown isn't something hard to do, it happens a lot and even the best get hit by them constantly.
Because there are no other 50/50s in fighting games besides ambiguous cross-ups, right?
Never said it wasn't "fine". I addressed the question of the benefit of a block button, the best benefit to me is not having to deal with bullshit 50/50 ambiguous cross-ups. 50/50's will still exist, but there will be one less one to have to deal with. Ambiguous cross-ups in particular are especially dumb because you're not making an educated guess or predicting, you're just straight up guessing because many times even your opponent doesn't know which side they will land on. The fact that a situation like that exists is retarded. Doesn't mean I don't like B2B games or think B2B is bad though.
So if ambiguous cross-ups are scrubby and dumb, and its essentially JUST a 50/50, then all 50/50s are dumb, right? Even ones you get to do off of safe jumps such as Scorpion after a tele hits in MK9, etc, etc.
