The scrubby part of ultras are that you are rewarded for losing. That's dumb. The part about sales is true, but it is a sad reality. I will also agree that they have done a good job of minimizing the random comeback factor. That doesn't mean it's not there.
If that's your logic, then modern games are not for you. Old school games had no meter in it and super moves, so the comeback factor was much harder. I imagine you also didn't like super turbo as well?
did you see any japanese players losing because of an random ultra?
It's not necessarily about getting hit by the ultra.
so what is your point then?
I am only 16 so I have only really played newer games. I just stick to games with lesser come back factors which are at this point mortal kombat, injustice, and admittedly street fighter (I'm not contradicting myself, ultras are a come back mechanic but I agree that they are not game breaking). However, games like marvel aren't for me. I really should try out some old school games though, shouldn't I?
That I still probably have to respect the ultra in some way.
Yeah but being rewarded for winning makes a lot of sense doesn't it? I mean I don't love the idea of stun but it makes a lot more sense than being rewarded for getting hit
Um...
that means u have to be smart :/
Learn to dodge interactables. Use them in your spacing game. Mk has broken down a lot, and I hate cyrax so much you don't even know. However, the meter system makes comebacks more difficult, not easier, because you either get a breaker or your ultra.What supers are you talking about? And there was a huge thread about come backs being very hard in injustice. For street fighter, I don't play any of them seriously but I'll be picking up ultra
There is no random comeback factor, as I said before, ultras are the easiest attacks to block/avoid and punish in the game. If you throw out a random ultra you are handing your opponent the round. It does take skill to successfully set them up, you don't just get instantly rewarded for losing.
You think it's easier to dodge interactbles than bait out an ultra? The fact you said you don't play SF a lot means you aren't familiar w/how to bait it out yet. Practice more, put more time into it and ultras aren't nearly as scary.
I do but wake ups are necessary because games would become one hit massacres without them. There does have to be some balance. I get where you are coming from though
I'm not saying they are actually scary! Its that they only come into play when I am winning... interactables are always in play and we both have access to them. It's more the principle of it.
All chars have an ultra and that ultra is very unsafe to punish and if you YOLO it, you can possibly die. Ultras also works as anti airs (some) as well, so there is strategy involved.
Yeah but both players have the same access to interactables from the beginning of the match to the end. Ultras are earned by losing. Regardless of their effectiveness, they still make the match easier for the loser
Why should I have to be smarter BECAUSE I'm beating you? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
and igau have no ultras?
I'm not saying he is going to give up, but if I have the advantage because I've beaten the shit out of him, the fight is easier for me from then on. And lol the bottle didn't magically appear cuz he was losing did it
yes sure. even if u are beating me you have to be smarter till you win.
