Darkfender, what's with all this pessimism and negative attitude?? I don't think there should be any whining on this forum...but good discussion.
pessimism is not a bad thing, and i never said NAMCO SUCKS screw this game...
I just said "from what we have atm" raph seems IMHO really really BAD see below....
Even if he "supposedly" got worse with every game, I don't think he'll be worse than in SC4 BD. Ive said this before, but you can't seem to find any strengths or positive aspects of this new Raph. There may be some nerfs but there are quite a few buffs but Im not gonna waste time and list them. What's wrong with Raph's low damage?? Raph always had slightly weaker damage than other characters and he could still take quite a few hits and still win. You probably didn't notice some attacks are pretty strong, especially his throws.
last video i saw thow damage was reduced...moreover...
-getting unsafer
-less damage (some moves even 1/3 of previous chapter O_o)
-same issues of previous chapter
Are objective points....
Whereas "maybe his aGI and autoevade will do wonders" is baseless speculation....those are quite unknown....
i still have to understand wich new useful tools he will get....i read all the thread and saw tons of videos...i saw some old stuff enhanced but not things that can be used to cover his weaknesses...nor spammed for pressing....
Ive said before that Raph is never going to be high/top tier. In order to be a good Raph player, you have to be patient, motivated, and devoted. Not being a super powerful, rounded character is what makes Raph fun to use. I got the wrong impression in SC4 when I first saw him but I never lost faith. In the end, he wasn't that bad and became my main as usual.
well this is completely wrong....the game should be BALANCED and devs should struggle to avoid the existence of tiers at all...this is an old discussion.....
And they also promised post release support so IF raph won't really be competitive, we should:
-ask them on what bases they balanced sc5 raph
-tell them wich are his worse problems..
Infact i second peoples who said that explanations on sc5 characters development would help a lot.
P.S. in SC4 he had some hopeless matchups....
P.P.s. i'll recheck tira's vid.
