What's new

Spoiler Thread. People officially have the game already (NO STORY SPOILERS)

Only 1 week to go and it looks like it's a reasonable time for the flood gates to be open.

The other spoiler thread was locked so I think it's a good time to make one again where people could post their spoilers.

I’m tired of hearing the “This game has no combos” meme. Not because we know it isnt true but because it’s so outdated. People stopped saying and thinking that like 1 day after it was a thing, right after the gameplay was revealed. The game blatantly has awesome and damaging combos, just want that to die already.

Yes I fully understand that.
But frame data is very important and knowing what Paulo Garcia set on it now is vital. No game has ever been balanced on day one and usually frame data has been in need of balance. I want to see frame data and have proper analysis of it's strength. What if a few normals offer +6 on block or have 5 active frame making it 3-4 frames advantage at max range?
Even if things will be changed it's good to know early so we can give feedback and get a head start on balance.

I don't see it being bad for us wanting to analyze frame data before day 1 patch. If it is gonna get changed then good but if we catch something NRS overlooked then only good came from it.
Never implied it was bad. Sure, you can look at it as you're preparing for things, but you still don't know how the move(s) animate and if the plus frames even mean anything.

Theory crafting right now would be utterly pointless considering a whole heap of things could be vastly, vastly different come launch day.
 
Reddit made a new rule that no one can post about it. Because... reasons? Who knows what's with those mods.
They actually posted an explanation. (Edit: That came off as more passive-aggressive than intended, I'm sorry. Didn't mean it as such. :p )
They first allowed leaks to be posted if people made the proper precautions, like no spoilers in the titles and tag them spoilers and NSFW so they wouldn't show anything in the thumbnails.

But a lot of people just didn't do that. So instead they just didn't allow it all-together. If people had just followed the guidelines and played nice, it wouldn't have happened.
 
I'm guessing by Friday enough people will have the game where we'll know everything. Or, at least, that's what I see happening.
