rofl I have no idea what kind of fourth-dimensional chess you folks think you were playing with SCIV Maxi but playing against someone who knew every interrupt and punish opportunity (and there were a whoooole fucking lot) was pure agony. no "mind game" exists when your opponent knows all they...
Yo, would SoCal be willing to tag-team with NorCal again to do a side tourney for SC2 HD and SC5 at Evo this year? Neither I nor anyone else has anything planned yet as far as I know, but I figured I'd ask.
So on the off chance that any NorCal players are watching this thread (since I don't have Facebook anymore), who from NorCal is planning to go to this and wants to split for a hotel room? I'll be driving down and can bring up to three people with me, four if someone doesn't mind sitting in the...
I really don't see why this would be the case, given the inclusion of online play. We're probably getting the PAL version. It's kind of a baffling decision, but no stupider than writing the game off before we've had a chance to see how the differences really affect the game (which is what I...
I don't expect the game to make a big comeback either way. If it does pick up again in spite of its whackiness, great, but I'll just try to have fun with it for at least a month or so.
Heh, people are just now freaking out about this stuff? It didn't seem like that big a deal to the European scene back when SC2 was "big," but maybe I'm just forgetting a whole bunch. Whatever, maybe they'll fix some of it before rel-bahahaha who am I kidding. Gonna be tapping ankles for ~25%...
Didn't the PAL version have the glitch where Maxi's 3B+K did 50 damage with some weird just-frame input? I really wish the old SC.com hadn't crashed. There's so much info that has to be recovered.
Free or not, aimed at casuals or not, releasing a fighting game without any kind of versus mode is stupid as hell. I hope there was some issue with translation or that this is just another cobbled-together action game set in the SC universe because I mean...really?
Here's a cool looping video by Spyder, who was one of the best SC2 Maxi players IMO. I don't think very much of this is viable, but it gives a good idea of what's possible and shows off some of the tPSL/iPSL shifts.
SC2 Maxi is definitely not the worst version in the series. That dubious honor belongs to SC4 Maxi, who had almost no chance of winning against a knowledgeable opponent. SC2 Maxi could be competitive at high levels because even though he didn't have nearly as much bullshit as the top tiers, he...
Although I don't think it should replace SC5, it would be kind of cool for SC2 to see a semi-revival like SSF2T or Smash Melee had. As stupid as this game could get, watching the YouTube video of Aris' SC2 stream did get me excited to have all of those options again.
