He already said he got too hyped up and should've toned it down and apologized on twitter. Scar says he moved on. People are overreacting in this thread.

Couple posts up:

That's pretty disappointing. Thanks for explaining.

Spill the tea for the Scar/Raptor stuff. First time i'm hearing about it. All i'll say is lmao at people claiming they'd fight someone over this.

The level of irony considering the post above you asked for Dairou lmao Edit: Even though the 3D era games arguably were kinda bad, there are a lot of characters that had cool designs that would be great to see updated/remade: Havik Ashrah Drahmin (pretty sure i'm the only one who liked this...

It's definitely not a tourney variation lmao. Variation 1 : Gutted Baraka Barrage Variation 2 : Blood Lunge Spines Baraka would get a bunch of 50/50s and maybe even restands IIRC if he gets to use leg kabob though.

Gun loadouts I can see but comparing MOBA items or talents to special moves in a FG is kind of a silly comparison. Two completely different games for a number of reasons. Your overall point is fair, more skill expression tends to mean a longer lifespan. But it also has to be reasonably...

Did he do it with the Say Cheese variation? Because that is what Name was talking about. My guess is no because that variation is trash. The other JC variation is a solid mid tier character that has to work a bit harder but he can definitely work.

Bone Picker Baraka is good. Not as good as Marauder but still upper mid tier. Has a lot of tick throws and oki options but suffers a bit in damage and safety. I'd say Baraka is one of the better characters at having two viable variations that compliment each other. New Era Geras is dumb, I get...

While I like this solution, the question is whether NRS will actually do it. The UI to do it right now is too clunky, but something like the marvel system would be pretty good. It's not really a strawman because i'm not making a straight comparison. The point is that NRS made an easy way for...

Because if the opponent is trash or their connection is you probably want to move on quicker. I agree with Eddy though that following the tournament rules is kind of lame. I get why they do it, but Ranked is more about seeing different playstyles and trying to adapt to them, and FT3 fits that...

I'm only referring to people talking about tournaments. I am 100% for custom variations in ranked or at least having a separate queue, would be super fun to see what people come up with. I've been going to tournaments and helping run them for the past 8 or so years. People STILL do button...

I love how people that don't run tournaments always ignore logistics. Gotta love it. I wouldn't mind custom variations, but we have a ways to go before they become a mainstay at tourneys. Most tourneys already run late because people still do freaking button checks when they can check them on...

Nah he's still broke. The scud cancels are still always in his favor. You can always MB it to punish any attempts to interrupt, one of the best conditioning tools in the game. You can't zone him at all, his DoT is lightning fast with little to no recovery with a ton of setups. His damage is...

Of course he has weaknesses, but you could straight up take off 5% damage off of most of his combos and he'd still be fine, that's how insane most of them are. All I would do is heavily increase FB scaling on longer combos (for all characters, Sonyas FB combos are also stupid) and maybe reduce...

Real talk, I don't think Baraka is a perfect epitome of balance. He's supposed to be more damaging than most characters, I get it. But there is no reason he needs 60% FB combos or 50% 1 bar combos midscreen. It's honestly absurd that I can win off of two combos. He can still be the most...

Certain characters can punish you for that but for the ones that can't it's fine. I've pretty much stopped using it though and go for oki and positioning instead. I don't really think flag is worth it ever except maybe if you want to trade with sparks.

I mean it isn't a prediction necessarily, it's a mixup. If I B3 someone who knows the matchup they guess whether I will finish the string or command grab and act accordingly. You won't be throwing out command grab in neutral. I don't think Bone Picker needs buffs or even that his offense is bad...

Sure, but then what? If you cancel into spines your at -7 and your turn is over (it's not like Geras who can use a 6f d1 to check anyone trying to take their turn). If you do a tick throw and they read it you get full combo punished, if they guess wrong you get a 12% command grab and play the...

I've played Bone Picker in tournament and tried to make him work, but he's not that good, especially after Command Grab's being able to be punished by D2 KBs. I gave him a 4/5 because his offense is high risk. If I go for a tick throw and they neutral duck, I get punished for a full combo. Sure...
