The actual fighting itself feels way more satisfying this time round, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I ever did 3 and 4.
I don't even mind that it's thin on solo content, quick battle is simple and focuses on the fighting itself which I like. The tower stuff in 4 was complete nonsense to...
I think this complicated it. It has nothing to do with the animation, just the point of impact.
If you can tap G just before you're hit and let go quickly (within 4 frames) you'll have yourself a JG.
The better you know the animation, the better you can time it. Go into training and set the...
Totally. Those who are inclined will find out anyway, all they're doing is preventing a potential fan from ever scratching beneath the mashy surface.
They by no means have to go into the depths you described, but come on, at the VERY LEAST teach me how to GI and why it's useful ffs.

That's cool, I guess it just doesn't suit the way I hold a stick. I'm used to resting my right palm on a flat surface.
I have a custom stick with a seimitsu LS-32 in it that seems to have a slightly smaller throw, well, it's much stiffer and clickier at least so it feels less mushy than the JLF.
The problem with story modes in fighting games is that at some point there has to be a fighting game. The whole walled off one on one scenario just doesn't really lend itself to a smooth flowing narrative, hence it always ends up being the inevitable story-fight-story format.
MK is the best...
You can get those silver pads that have raised dpads for the 360 which are serviceable, they're less precise on taps than the ds3, but smoother for rolling motions. To be honest, for those who have touched an old saturn pad, nothing will ever feel quite good enough.
I have both the Madcats TE...
I like MVC for the vast array of crazy team setups, so many possibilities... But learning combos is just such a massive undertaking that I found it off putting, so I live vicariously through watching.
I actually quite like Blazblue but for some reason find it really dull to watch. Matches just...
Thanks for the heads up Ghengis, looking forward to some tourny vids.
I've been watching nothing but MVC matches recently, this is quite a change of pace to say the least. It's refreshing to see something where 1 hit doesn't equal 80% health.
Hello Trax! How's the Qanba stick working out for you? I've been thinking about getting one. The price is good and its dual compatible. Currently rocking a hrap VX which I'm not totally satisfied with.
Hi there,
Just picked up SCV and started lurking here to probe a bit deeper into the game. Been playing fighting games casually most of my life since SF2, and am the kind of person who just enjoys reading about the mechanics to better appreciate tourny matches.
That's all for now!
