  • Mitsurugi and Mitsuru. What is it with that sequence of characters that makes a character completely busted?

    I tried to explain how Mitsurugi 'isn't' busted to you. =/

    If people would just pick up the characters... It really shows you just how not broken they are.

    lol, I was trying to make a joke.
    Here's a kooky idea: try playing Tira and Dampierre for a week. If you can handle their random failures in mid-battle, maybe you could handle losing better?

    It's contradictory, I know. I think you'd do better to ignore the baby steps and just apply force to yourself. Run around challenging everyone you know that fights 'dirty' and such and don't let yourself RQ until you can come back and defeat them consistently.

    Hell, run more sets with me or Fenris or someone else you know who go for the easy damage and learn from your mistakes >:)

    Here's a tip TiZ: Don't get hit.
    Just follow that and you'll be wrecking pros in no time.

    Yeah, breaks can make a world of a difference. SCV has to be the most rage inducing game I've ever played. Dark Souls doesn't even make me this annoyed. It's not even that I'm losing, the system mechanics just make me rage. Lol

    lol man dark souls is fun...i only raged a lil bit in that game. But yeah sc5 is just one of those games I have to take breaks from.....
    I was hoping to play VF5 during my break, but apparently... no one plays it online. :< ...fuck it, break over.

    Haha, it's ok, I didn't mean right now. I'm away from my 360 anyways. My strats consist of spamming basic combos with Taka Arashi, so s'all good :P

    My strats as Eileen are:
    1. Get 9K and combo
    2. Get P+K and combo
    3. Do monkey shit

    What happened to dropping Leixia?
    TiZ
    TiZ
    It turned out that while Patroklos's damage was pretty bonkers, I could get the low damage more often as Leixia. In addition, I have more setups and tricks as Leixia, and each one is more reliable than any one setup I have as Pat. So far, anyways. I'm still learning Pat.
    I'm going to take a break from this game too. I hate it too much to improve anymore. Might be one week, might be two. Don't know yet.

    And one other thing. If there is no news of patch 1.04 by the time I return, I will organize a project to create an open source Soul Calibur clone. If so many people are so discontent with this game, mayhaps the community can do it better.

    Why in particular do you hate it? And players will always be discontented with whatever game they play. Just saying. There's always something to complain about.

    This game is completely driven on bullshit. And I can't stand it anymore. I do have a scrub mentality, but I can't shake it off knowing that the game is so driven on bullshit. And whoever's bullshit is easier to pull off or more effective, well, they win.
    I'm held back by how bad my character is, and also *knowing* how bad she is. Time for a change-up. Let's go, Pat.
    Wandrian
    Wandrian
    Nah brah, it's just something you've got to get over. Literally the only things Leixia doesn't have going for her are damage and range. You let yourself fall into a scrub mentality and that's really all there is to it. It's better if you prove me wrong, but I just don't see that happening.

    I'll remind you though I play every character, I know Leixia's shortcomings well :P

    Yo guys, just let him do what he wants. Maybe it works out for him maybe it doesn't.

    Wandrian, you're pretty insistent that I've made the wrong decision. Slade is too, in his own unique way. It doesn't matter though. Whether I find myself a new, better main, or come to the realization that Leixia was better for me all along, I'm going to be a better player for it either way. Let me have my scrub mentality. Words aren't going to overcome it.
    It's all how you're thinking about things. One way or another, you're just not really *REALLY* thinking clearly in a match and so you're not using a tenth the potential of Leixia(or any other character for that matter). The work you've put into learning your character is very much evident, it's just the fundamentals behind it that's holding you back. I'd know, I have the same problem(amongst others).

    I'm trying to talk with my counselor about it. Sometimes, I feel like I'm falling short of my own expectations, and other times, I feel like the game is slighting me in such a way that I can't live up to my expectations even if I'm playing well enough to.

    Yeah, that's like what I was saying last week. It's definitely more than lolSpamurugi. I'm only an armchair psychiatrist, but it's like some kind of immaturity thing. Like, be realistic and shit. Not pessimistic or blindly hoping for the best, just try to separate emotions from your problem solving process.

    Frustrated? Figure a way to keep your cool first, then solve the rest of the problem. One thing at a time.

    Oh, and how about FR'ing/challenging everyone that brutally kicks your ass? If you can keep calm while being so brutally torn down...

    And here's a start: send an FR to Hyrul. His GT is "Homicidmus" Assuming he has the time lol.

    If you can keep a cool head and still find the time to figure out a strategy against someone like that...
    It must be nice for this game to be so easy for so many characters.

    Well Astaroth is hard for everybody....so it's not just you who struggles with him tiz if anyone who doesn't use alpha and says astaroth is easy to handle than...HA! there lying to themselves...

    Astaroth pisses me off. Him being on the screen is a 50/50 mix up... His entirety is a 50/50 mix up. >.<
    J
    JustinAkatsuki
    The main reason I dislike astaroth other than his 50/50's is that he is probably the easiest character to use but very effective and both fields of play..low level and high level play.
    I could really use some anger management tips. Because once I get mad at this game, it's a downward spiral from there.

    No reason to take the game too personally.

    You're only as good/bad as your last match. No reason to stress over a loss. Just run it back next game.
    I will hatemail every Mitsurugi that beats me from now on. So basically, every Mitsurugi.

    I feel rugi has a 6:4 matchup favor against every char in the game or even better...but mandy is right tiz....um viola and nightmare both have a good chance of beating him.

    Mitsus who don't use 4B actually exist. They make me nervous since I keep expecting 4B but they never use it.

    Oh god more mixups D: "WHERE THE HELL IS 4B AUGHHHH"
    If you're against Leixia having more damage, you also obviously have no idea how THIS GAME works. Look how much damage *everyone else* does.

    She won't have the versatility of three characters, because those characters are better at the things I pointed out. And besides, I think you're not really using the word right anyways. Sure, she IS versatile due to her safety, speed, evasion, and range. But her damage deficiency overcompensates for her strengths, in turn putting her on the weaker side.

    Thank you, I suppose, Justin, though I don't know why you never thought you'd say that. o_O

    Back on topic - Lei damage buffs aren't a bad thing - but she sure as hell doesn't need a big one. As warui said, she has a lot of good qualities. Too significant a change would make her far too good.
    TiZ
    TiZ
    On this, I can definitely agree. Like I said, her damage deficiency overcompesates for her strengths, and I don't mind continuing to do less damage than the rest of the cast as long as I don't feel like I have to do twice the work of the rest of the cast. I agree that a dramatic damage increase would make her OP.
    I'm glad that at least one person in the Leixia SA is trying to be productive. :)

    I still think they need to fix the 22BB tracking & various whiffing issues. He would be great imo if those weren't present.

    Dude, you're from KY? I'm in the Winchester/Lexington area if you know where that's at. We need to get some people together and play!

    I'm in northern KY. Just south of Cincinnati. I usually play at Arcade Legacy up in Fairfield; the scene there is pretty strong.
    Got shat on by bad players using top characters... So sick of the Marvel-level tier disparity in this game. I almost actually hate SCV now.

    ^ What this dude is trying to say is that go in training mode and practice against the moves that you had the most trouble with while fighting those baddies. See if you can find any way to counter the move as in quick-stepping or crouch and punish. Don't hate the game, hate the player.
    Wandrian

    Yeah, that and don't forget that there are bad matchups in every game. Run with the same character all the time and you're going to suffer due to this.

    I took a break from SCV for a week, so I don't know just yet. I did do a little better at Arcade Legacy's Fight Night than I usually do, though, and that was with no warmup.

    I know I know you from somewhere, but my memory's taken a dump. Enlighten me?
