    If you think about it, that makes it even worse in context considering now T4 is remembered as the "worst" game in the series and T5 is the "pinnacle " haha. To NRS credit I give them props for attempting new directions each game. It's a lot easier/safer to revamp the same core than it is...

    Ermac is the reason why I've picked this game back up after months of sitting out. The main interesting thing for me was getting a classic character back who plays in a very unique strong way with both his toolkit and the Kameo system. Like Ermac can play the game in multiple ways, while he also...

    Haha thanks. Funny enough I feel so trash still when I see/play ranks in Gold. I've gotten these characters up above Fujin in Blue: Leo Jun Alisa Actual Fujin: Azucena Bryan Asuka So that's actually 6 not 7 I realize, then in Battle Ruler I have: Lee Zafina Flame Ruler: Ling (just started...

    How many characters do you play? For me I have 7 characters in Blue and a few in Purple. Matchmaking is officially "here's a bunch of God Rank players all the time to give it to you balls deep, wait extra long for a match now, and getting it even deeper from another God Rank". This doesn't do...

    If someone believes that then literally every new top game in every franchise is terrible and trash according to people who "actually play the game and know the history". If anything, history tells us to ignore the nonsense and play what you like since half the time the game ends up a "classic"...

    Sorry but I'm not buying any of that. Arslan was very outspoken, then after Knee's latest statement Knee "backtracked it" a lot, then Arslan has been spamming how great the game is now. All around the same time. Sounds a lot more like Papa Bamco made a couple of phone calls and reminded guys...

    Ermac Kombo Thread

    Interesting, when I get back home I'm gonna check some of this out. No way that isn't going to lead to some nasty dirt.

    Ermac Kombo Thread

    Yea it's early, but Scorpion is at first glance feeling good even just for the mere fact that 1 bar 33% becomes 42% mid screen with his extra juggle. Gotta see if there's some Kameo tech from others that would offset such an obvious damage boost for what appears to be a low damage character.

    Ermac Kombo Thread

    I'm like 90 minutes in so far, all practice mode. Was checking tech first and then went to combos, haven't tried the cancel into F4 float yet, actually didn't think of it haha. So far I've got these for midscreen for 12 starter: 12 bf3, dash cancel, Jf 122, dash, 4, bf2 - 293 12 bf3, dash...

    @Mikemetroid you hear that? Scorpion was downplaying and still is out here giving Kenshi that work lol.

    Universal MU-Chart and Mathematical Tierlist

    If that happened, you don't think the other character representatives wouldn't have called it out during the MU discussion? Player A "it's 4-6 bro". Player B "it's actually 6-4". Player A "nah man just listen to me, I have spoken". Player B "okay sure I agree now". That would make even less...

    "I can see him being that low if the smoke player doesn't know what they are doing." You think this collective of high level players don't know what they're doing so think Smoke is low? This sounds unreasonable lol. Could it be possible that they actually "do know" what they're doing, which is...

    Don't ask me, ask the 50 top players collaborating on each individual MU why your character is Ultra God Impeccable Top Tier.

    Also, Tanya has no losing MUs. The downplay should be a bannable offense going forward.

    Universal MU-Chart and Mathematical Tierlist

    I mean look at Peacemaker, sitting on top like a King. Most of the chart seems "close enough" to what would be expected, so Kenshi being where he is makes me feel that he's more overrated by the community than being misplaced. If this was a bunch of Reddit online warriors making a list that's...

    Just gonna say that you've been playing long enough and at a high enough level to understand that sometimes mid or bad characters have good MUs against better characters.
