Jax vs Reptile. Jax didn't use a single special except for dash, ground pound, and back breaker. What about zoning? That's partially why i made this thread. The whole question was, in a perfect world, how would you make it so a Jax vs Reptile matchup doesn't just end up being punches vs blocked orb, back into punch, for example.
One thing i learned about Jax from playing on PSN is that his double bomb projectile needs more recovery. Now, how you square that against the other fast startup moves in the game is another task. Umk3 has a lot of "barrier" moves (like Jax's double bombs), which can most easily be punished by the teleporters, but i'd like the rest of the cast to be able to do some damage too. I just don't buy the notion that mk is a game that's supposed to be devoid of zoning.
Try to catch PoongKo teleporting.hanzo, imagine if seth didn't have shit health.... seth is a lazy ass design for a boss character (what i like to call a swiss army knife character), but imagine him with the same life as everyone else, dude. the thing is, capcom knows how evil seth would be if he didn't have low life, but i don't believe the mk programmers truly understand how evil certain things are in mk, or how to reasonably nerf them or buff weaker things.
and you know what? seth has a teleport, but you can punch him in his face before he has a chance to attack you. you don't have to jump or move or anything. that's how teleports should be in mk. that's why i wrote those teleport rants. certain things are just too damn dangerous, and the origins of some stupid shit that you see in mk9 goes right back to mk2 and umk3.
That's what I say man, if u wanna fucking Zone, go play Street Fighter or a fucking 1st-Person Shooter. This is UMK3, not sit-back-and-be-a-coward. What's the point of a Run button if ur not gonna use it? I can't stand playing people who just wanna sit back and Zone and wait for YOU while YOU do all the work and they fuckin cherry-pick cuz it's EASIER for them. They can eat a fat baby's dick for all i care.Marvirrasta and Miss Spin are both offensive aggressive players thats why. Everyone got there own style. Or at least with those characters.
I dont zone much with Jax either. Probably should...but fuck it if I can win without many missiles : ) cant take pressure then eat me.
I've been waiting for you on PSN for 20 minutes now. Are we playing or what?that's why i wrote those teleport rants. certain things are just too damn dangerous, and the origins of some stupid shit that you see in mk9 goes right back to mk2 and umk3.
There is a very good reason we are considered the "butthole of the Fighting Game Community" and while I don't agree with it, I don't blame them for thinking that way in some situations, most prominently this one. No one in their right fucking MIND would attempt to justify attacking while blocking high and low while standing all at the same time.....yet here we are stupid enough to keep playing it and allow this abomination of cheating to continue.I think that when I see a game where that kind of "feature" exists and can be even remotely dominant, it is no longer worth my time. You guys can come up with all the lame little strategies that you want to counter it, but that doesn't make the game good. If this is the type of crap you guys enjoy playing then that's your personal preference. Not that I give a fuck, but explain any of this to any player from any other fighting game background and they'll tell you the same thing. Even most of the hardcore US umk3 tourney players/promoters have strayed off.
I'm not going to pretend like you guys don't know what you are talking about, because I respect you as players. I just think you give this game and those strats, that are shitty relative to blockjabs, more respect than they deserve. The game is fundamentally flawed and if I cared to I could probably prove that using math fairly easily. But it would take time and all come to the same conclusion because you already know why and have your minds made up.
If you guys can really look at this game and tell me, "it's fine" then I really don't want to argue anymore because we've already been through this a few times now and it is what it is. It's not like I'm going to change your minds, nor do I care to, but it's also not like you are going to change reality for me to think differently about it by typing back and forth on this thread.
So no hard feelings from me, I'm just not feelin' this game anymore.
I love you Zaq. Juggs style. XDI think that when I see a game where that kind of "feature" exists and can be even remotely dominant, it is no longer worth my time.

Not that I give a fuck, but explain any of this to any player from any other fighting game background and they'll tell you the same thing. Look how much everyone hates SFxT and the jabs/shorts don't even chip in that game. Even most of the hardcore US umk3 tourney players/promoters have strayed off.

Why do we still discuss the issue of gjabs in this game...? Two sides that won't budge on the subject...it's pointless to try and argue about this all the time when all it does is end the same way. No one's opinions have even remotely changed at the end of the argument.
The concept of blocking and attacking at the same time is indeed fucked up fundamentally, but UMK3 players have developed their play to where you can't win with gjabs alone. Does this make UMK3 great or ass? That's up to you.
I don't know if Marvirrasta is at the top of the top, but he looks damn solid and I've heard very good words of him by hanzo, so I think it would be cool to hear what he has to say about this topic.By high level...im not even talking about the best players...im talking about the top of the TOP. If u dont wanna listen to Hanzo and DED, then kill yourself.
....but he doesn't speak English.I don't know if Marvirrasta is at the top of the top, but he looks damn solid and I've heard very good words of him by hanzo, so I think it would be cool to hear what he has to say about this topic.
