Sorry to keep being the “Nappa can...” guy but his airborne 2H acts like that, but is itself special cancellable. Finding ways to land it mid combo (without vanishing) has become an obsession.

Yeah I know but thats not my character, close tho. I want him him but with better nuetral instead of saibamen stuff. Basically a mix of doomsday and frieza

Outta nowhere!

Tbf I agreed, still do, and held this opinion for a few days now. Didn’t think it was much of a deal. Rather that it was common knowledge and I was slow on the uptake.

It’s definitely not the only setup, but obviously the most dynamic. It’s actually why I dropped A Gohan, because alongside Nappa/Vegeta the sensible strategy was restrictive when the plan gangs agley (as they aft do).

I know, hence the aforementioned apology :)

It was more of a “I like those too, glad my chars got one” just banal conversation shit.

His neutrals not overly terrible, it’s good at a particular range and it’s obvously hard to get people there and keep them there. I think that’ll be another use for saibamen at times, but I can’t implement them that well yet. Make people scared to get into that range (because you don’t want them any closer). His 2L only goes so far, literally....

So, has there been any official statement or whatever on how matchmaking works for this game?

For instance, when searching for green bar or better, you don’t always match up with green bars or better. Same with “players stronger than you”. It’s far more lenient on the XB1 version, to be fair. I’m assuming it first searches for your parameters, then after awhile, automatically starts broadening the search until it finds you a match. This is what it feels like anyway.

Just curious, because I keep getting matched up with green squares or people with way less BP when I’m searching for “stronger opponents”. As well as the connection one.

Yeah I assume it gradually widens, as per some other games. Might be a bug though in successfully matching criteria.... this game has actually kinda exploded, you’d expect better matches from a larger pool.

Also, the matchmaking is way different on XB1 vs PS4. It’s much easier to get a match, or you get a match more quickly rather, on the XB1. I’m assuming that if the matchmaking DOES broaden the search, it does it more quickly on the XB1 for whatever reason.

It seems the ranked match making is whoever is in your room with the criteria you set up, cuz at a time i kept getting the same challengers.

BTW did anybody see the ranked leaderboard? ChrisG (NYChris) is right up in the top 10 and SonicFox is RIGHT behind him. It probably changed cuz i saw it last night.

Would be nice to know. Like... i'm dark green but i never play against anyone lower than yellow. Maybe its just because at my bp rank, most people are higher than dark green. Like... "you're dark green... but yeah not rly we know yer a lil better maybe."

I have moments like that, but I actually think most teams have burst access to these tools, so I blame myself for not capitalising on opportunities in between. That said, I really hate A18 pressure. Feel kinda lost, just need to lab I guess.

Also disagree with sonicfox... kinda like the time he told me mileena beats sektor in mk9, then used footage from a match he won because of his opponent dropping a combo as evidence.

It depends on your team. You cant carry people into the corner with 16 and set up hkd resets without an assist that lets you do that, otherwise you need to use spark to set it up. Also, you cant get a corner to corner carry without vegeta.

You dont NEED to do those things to win, but you handicap yourself by not optimally using 16.

Regardless of who posted what, I think the idea not to get too caught up on character roles is pretty accurate. Although, I'm running Hit/Trunks/Tien, and it's hard to see Tien in any other spot in the order, due to the way his level 3 works. It's a match closer and that's about it.

At any rate, all 3 on my team seem pretty self sufficient, with great normals, range, and solo pressure and mixups. But, they're assist synergy doesn't seem that great, which irks me a little. Always nice to have dodonpa when closing distance though.

I think thats the fun challenge of this game, finding that synergy. I know it gets discouraging when you see everybody using the same damn ppl for the same damn thing, which works, BUT its not you. Im just now finding my synergy. Everybody in this game is viable to be a sufficient team and that, my friend, is fucking RIGHTEOUS ;)

The implication of this popular opinion is this:

"Optimization isn't important in this game."

We sort of knew that already though... no?

It’s pretty crazy how well arcsys did on every character. Obviously some right now are overplayed and are viewed as “top tier”, but every character has a purpose and every character is good, imo. The game is also deeper than I thought at first, so much tech people are finding every single day.
