Are you fucking kidding me? I'm already getting full combo punished and losing my meter if I made a bad read and my armor gets blocked(some of us don't play Sonya or Kenshi), and even if I mis-time it w/out the glitch I'm still sitting there eating a string. Why should I lose meter too? The glitch is bullshit, it's completely unjustifiable that I lose meter and my attack doesn't come out.
You're doing it wrong.
-__- then you should lose your meter! Meter changes the metagame, and forces players to play different when his/her opponent has meter.
You are not getting punished, you can still keep blocking, you are mistiming your move with hopes to hit your opponents on a scrubby way, Riu48 uses sonya and he started this thread, sonya has one of the scrubbiest armored safe moves and he agrees that people who mistime their armored moves mashing the move while still on blocktunt should lose their meters, is not about making a bad read, learn your opp frame data and when you are free to move and execute a move. meter drain should stay
How am I getting rewarded? If I mistime it, my attack doesn't come out, I don't lose meter and I'm still in pressure. Where is the reward there?
All true statements. I came from Street Fighter. There are "unblockables" in the game where you literally have 1 frame to block.
Try F4 Ex Trance.
You think the "glitch" is dumb. Which means you believe that if you mistime an interrupt you should keep you meter right? That's being rewarded. Yeah your in pressure, but your keeping your meter!
Yes, I should keep my meter. I should get hit by the attack(or keep blocking if that's what the game wants to say I was doing when I got hit), but I shouldn't be losing meter that I didn't get to spend.
If you triggered the move at the wrong time you meant to spend it, its the same when people do an xray at the wrong time and opps block it, the way to avoid this, you must time your armored special move when you are 100% sure you can attack or are out of block stunt. If you execue the move right you will never get the glitch, if you mash or want to abuse it, HOLD THAT!
Xray doesnt cause the glitch
You're doing it wrong, level up and learn the frame data
Then try a poke.
Still doesn't justify why he should armor on wrong frame everytime.
Him playing a character with a scrubby safe armor move doesn't make his opinion more valuable or less biased. If anything I'd give it more weight if he played a character who had to take a risk to when using armor. Even if he makes a bad read and the opponent blocks his kartwheel, he loses a bar of meter and is at -3. So what? He doesn't care. The meter drain is the only real risk he has.
I agree that I should be punished if I execute something wrong. But not by standing there blocking and losing a bar of meter. If I let go of block and tried to attack at the wrong time then I should get hit. If I spend meter on armor I should get armor. If the game decided that because of the way I timed it that I just stood there blocking the whole time then it shouldn't take my meter too.
Stop playing the game on ps3 and i promiose you xbox 360 won't lag, i have no idea why this game is played on ps3 in tournaments when the game moves 100% lagless on xbox 360, i have lost matches after not being able to connect the follow ups after an xray with cyrax cause of ps3 lag.
A poke doesn't have the reward as armor. That's the whole point. I'm spending meter, risking a full combo punish if I'm wrong. I'm taking a risk for bigger reward. That's how the game works. Unfortunately the meter drain makes the risk even higher, so I can be punished even if I read correctly. It makes the risk higher than it should be imo. Some character don't have the same problem though.
that is why i always had the impression that on Xbox 360 the game is way more faster LOL.
I've thought about pointing this out but since most of the community call any performance issues they don't understand "lag", framerate included, what's the point..
