What's up with all the Algol hate?

Algol looked so much better with his ancient bird armor and loin flap than this gay-fanservice BS outfit he has now.

Le_Bello should have a CAS contest to recreate that outfit. Or at least make one that's slightly less gay for him.
 
Wearing nothing but a scarf and crotch wrap isn't gay, it's arrogant. Most appropriate for someone with a god complex. I think that's what they were aiming for. But he does look pretty fabulous when he sits on someone. If it's supposed to be gay male fanservice I'd also say it's straight female and bisexual anybody fanservice. Not a bad thing.

Recreations don't seem to interest people so much. Though I agree, his IV outfit was SO much cooler.
 
I'm with you guys, I liked the armor more. not that it's an accurate recreation but I did an "ancient warrior king" type CAS that was actually used in that video just posted. I'm no CAS-god though.


Even if it is supposed to be a "God" thing(I guess I see it. His body being "perfect" so uncovered yada yada), or even if hes just supposed to be a reference to ancient pre-history he doesn't pull it off like Human Ogre imho.
I also do miss the scars.
 
His SCIV design was too much. Why the bird theme? Just to make him look vaguely ancient or Egyptian or something? Algol seems more like the kind to just throw a scarf on and say "screw it." Also it hardly makes sense for weapons to pop out of him if he's wearing armour.
 
...I hate him for something I just noticed yesterday. His throne. It is so incredibly low resolution. Of all the things to make with a low resolution, why something used in a damn win pose? X.X

E.I.N. is pretty low resolution as well. Stupid Namco for rushing Project Soul >:O
 
Wait I just now read Darkfender's post because well...because. Where in any of this have I said anything "sucks"? I haven't, because more likely than not it doesn't. I'm simply saying 44B is linear and slow. It isn't SC4 Amy level. It doesn't catch step entirely to one side, you can react to the start up, and this really isn't a reason but it isn't TOTALLY safe. It can get you Cervantes double-CE'd or punishable by A-Pat's CE.
Im saying it isn't overpowered, not that it isn't a really good damn move. People need to start paying attention to the fucking difference -_-
 
I don't really mind fighting Algol's, it's just most of the time I get the same crap. Usually there's bubbles everywhere, he's flashing around everywhere, constantly using that low kick bubble combo... It's just annoying. Every time I fight one I end up not being able to do anything while I get my ass handed to me.
 
I don't know about everyone else, but this is why I hate Algol:
He does not need a single combo that does this much damage. Yes I realize it's using all 4 bars of meter, but that doesn't mean it should be allowed to connect all as one single combo for 75%+. I mean if you do that much damage with 2 different combos that use a total of 2 bars each, fine. But that much damage off of one combo that is easy enough to do that it can be done ONLINE... Nerf Hammer please. -_-

LOL! That's not even his most damaging combo. I found a better one for near 100% damage (only with CH)

Any character with high damage output, a gimmick that requires legitimate knowledge of the game to overcome, or a low execution barrier (see: everyone) = OMG BROKEN/hate-magnet.

The funny thing is, nobody online complains about this game's actual top tier being too strong. Unless the once ceaseless whining about how easy-to-use Mitsurugi is counts.

Honestly, it's simpler than that: Every character is broken because every character has throws.
 
Man, I've had so many charity runbacks with crying scrubs where I promised that I wouldn't grab them a single time just for the sake of stamping a bright red imprint of my dick on their foreheads at this point that it isn't even funny.

It's best when you beat someone with Astaroth and they scream that all you do is grab. My brain will liquify and run out of my nose one day because of these people.

Does anybody yell at ZWEI players that all they do is summon EIN?

All Ivy does is use her whip, it's cheap.
 
I like him as a character, he seems to be a good soul after all and he's suck a badass at the same time, we share the same hate for mitsurugi.
Anyways, he IS an annoying character, he tends to overwhelm the opponent a lot and he is very damaging, once I started to practice him (the first and only time) and I was like "oh well, if I want to win anytime I must pick algol", he annoys me sometimes, but he's not in my hate list... mitsfried :s
