I honestly don't know why this post has so many likes, tournaments have always been filled with top tiers in basically every game. That's just the nature of competing.I don't think its an issue with the game. The issue is that people have become such tier whores that I am always fighting against the character of the moment. Aquamans, Batmans, Supergirls now firestorms. I barely get to play against other characters. We never see other good characters either because people are always listening to who the top players say are the new top tiers in order to hop on the bandwagon and we get more of the same.
I honestly can' believe how people defend the rushdown play style. I don't care what anybody says. it does require less skill. All you need to do is learn the 50/50 and loop it until you kill your opponent. No need for spacing, patience or anything else needed.I honestly can' believe how people defend the Zoning play style. I don't care what anybody says. It does require less skill. All you need to do is learn the few projectile moves and keep the opponent away. No need for combos, set ups or anything else needed.
I think if there was no HP/Attack/Defense stats, and if all the abilities were actually balanced then I'd be up for this. On top of the fact I would like to be able to select abilities in training mode and in tournament regardless of whether or not I have them.And I will gripe forever about how the point of the ENTIRE gear and stats system is rendered completely pointless if you want to play competitively. Even aesthetically, if you have a chosen favorite outfit, you can't take it to a tournament or be guaranteed itll be there, so that's lame. All the numbers, the stats, the gear moves, the whole thing, moot.
I hope it gets the MKXL treatment and they change everything, because there IS a great game in there somewhere. Part 1 in spite of Batgirl and MMH was fun until the end and this game looks infinitely better, so I do not want it to fail. It just isn't my slice of coffee cake as it exists now.
i'm the opposite i find myself playing all sorts of characters.I just find the game pretty boring and slow, and top tier characters dominate. Just not really interested lately. I find myself going back to other games.
Sfv having trouble staying relevant is so false. Sfv has had more entrants and viewers in every tournament this year so far, even for final round grand finals in dbz between go1 vs sonicfox sfv still had like 20,000 more viewers in grand finals. And dbz is only a couple months old while sfv is almost 3 years old, for sfv to still have more entrants and viewers then you’re statement is really wrong. I have nothing against dbz or people who prefer it, but as numbers have proved, dbz as new hype game can’t even keep up with a 3 year old sfv.Would be curious to how many comments is "numerous". People talk a lot of shit inbetween news as always, but the tournament quality and amount of players online is still quite ample.
People are just "waiting for MKXI", which is a seriously bad habit that our community has turned into tradition. Even if they announce MKXI tomorrow, we'll still be playing IJ2 for another year.
Secondly, (and probably most significantly) a ton of NRS players are now DBZ players and it is easily the hottest game in the fgc right now. Even Street Fighter is having trouble staying relevant.
i'm the opposite i find myself playing all sorts of characters when people let me win.
Yeah, it's just about finding where that line is and trying to get all characters on that "line".I don't know why people go on about nerfing vs buffing, like ever since that one youtube video came out about it people keep saying that. I get the idea, that sometimes it's better to buff then nerf because you take away options when you nerf. But people act like it was a bad thing that prepatch Black Adam's insane damage was nerfed and that they should have buffed the rest of the cast to compensate.
