I am jonesing so bad, I just tried to load up the beta just in case they secretly opened the servers back up. Even tried to load my pre downloaded game, lmao.

Seriously, I want to play so damn bad. Same feeling I had after the DBFZ beta ended.

I’m surprised more people in the FGC aren’t caring about this game. Is it because it’s not a new IP so they think that there won’t be a chance for them to do well? Not sure, but I’m so glad I gave the game a chance. I don’t care about being a tournament player, I just want to have fun.

This was already said, lets not get back to scrubby notions about Nightmare.

As for Sophitia, well thats coz nobody cares about her and those who do thinks she's hot so that's that. Joking a side it's prabably here to stay like you noticed she has that since SC3. Thank God there are ways around it... well.. sorta. ;)

Does anyone knows how many characters there gonna be in base roster? I found that there are 20 already annouced characters + 4 DLC (one of them is Tira). That number seems disappointingly small.

Actually shows playing the match up well in the first half, faltering in the middle and rounding out strong. When you were going for low attacks & guard breaks you were beating his Armor attacks, which has always been one way around his offense.

When you started becoming linear and stopped stepping around his RE you got hit by multiple of them.

Then you finished strong.

Good stuff.

Inferno has been leaked but we're not sure if he's a mimic or not and lizardman has been seen but he might just be a create a soul type character

Should I buy this game for PC or PS4 initially? I might buy it for both platforms later but I'm curious which one you think will be better.

Netcode probably better on PC according to @Immortal. I’m getting it for XB1, I prefer the controller.

Just to be clear. Netcode is the same, which is delay based just like in Tekken 7 with some tweaks. It's mediocre. However, built in delay is way lower on PC version then on consoles and on top of that you can disable VSYNC on PC, which is always on, on consoles. When you disable it on PC it futher lowers input delay.

As for controllers - you can play on PC with any controller, PS2/4, X1, Hitbox, whichever you like.

What character were you talking about? :p

Soph has been an atrocious matchup for Nightmare since SC3. Anything he does can be punished with the stab, on block or any stance enter.

In previous iterations it reduced Nightmare to basically doing 3K the whole match as it was the only move not destroyed by the stab.

From what I saw in the beta it will probably be the same in SCIV as well.

Yeah i hated fighting her. I could do very little to stop her from rushing me down, same with Taki and Talim.

Is their anything I can do against relentless fast pressure as NM? I haven't played much SC since 2 so I don't know much about this version of NM.

Pommel strike and 3k are really good against pressure. Also know what attacks are verticle so you can side step them are helpful as well. Typically the really fast pressure moves can be side stepped for the most part it appears. Also that soul blast is a ln auto gi and I think you can use it whenever very strong lol.

Yeah I wanted to start the sophita downplay now she's a suffocating character with amazing tools NM isnt very good against her your right. However he can do work under the right circumstances.

Bittersweet. I was checking the pages one more time to see if the monthly reveal was ready muttering "Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang." Then I saw the link. He looks like cool. I miss his more Blaze appearance, though. I'm fatigued on everything getting the devil treatment. Gargos, Corrupt Shinnok, and now Inferno. All good, though.

Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang. Hwang.

Well, this kinda cements that there will be no more characters on the main roster. Revealing the end boss/bonus character seems to be the final punctuation on the character reveals. It'll all be DLC reveals from now on.

My thoughts go to the Hwang and Lizardman fans. Let's hope they will be DLC eventually.

As for Inferno, I was never a fan of him. He was never unique or interesting to me, but it was to be expected that he would be the final boss of this game. Just pretty standard and boring though. And of course he will have some broken end boss stuff as well, so it makes sense they don't make him available online.

Azwel seems tons more interesting though, so it would be cool if he would be the final end boss after having defeated Inferno in Arcade mode.
