i can see ivy been ruined because of noobs or people who wont spend time to learn her,i get cutting out coil,that wasnt very good anyway,but how is having two stances confusing?
its not hard you just have to spend some time with the character,you dont want to be able to just select ivy in practice and be able to pick her up right away,
if you can just do that it means she will obviously be no where near as good as she should be because if not everyone will be playing a powerfull,easy to use character.
all you have to do if she has WP and SW is to grasp how the states work,which moves force you back to a certain state etc. which can be confusing at first but you just have to spend time with her to get it,with two it woudnt be too bad and if the moves link into it anyway
its not like other characters dont have different stances,why should ivy suddenly go from a multi stance character for ages to a character with 1 stance and a smaller SE at best!?
to be honest i think its a bit like sacrilidge to ivy!
it was ok in SC1 because the characters werent so seperate back then but with the way its looking now it wont be like ivy and she wont be too far from a normal character
they will cut loads of moves because of this, most be totally gone and they might give us a few new moves that will probably be garbage
id have though by SC5 most of the characters would be sorted,lower tiers catching up and all the characters more equal because they all get good improvements they keep going on about balancing,
but i cant see how its so balanced if certain characters can hardly win despite how long youve taken on them.
the game is changing and improving(debatable), so the characters should too,the characters are what make you keep coming back to the game really,if ivy wasnt in SCV or if she was dissapointing think about it we would be gutted,and would probably really put us off
i doubt they will really be bothering with the characters so much,they may be similiar to SC4 or in this case they may be worse than now
they really need to change the characters for SCV appropriatly make big changes, to peoples suggestions and opinions and test things out to see if the new things are balanced or not
especially for lower tier characters like tira,talim,mina etc
and violent-vodka, i know quite a lot of us on the tira forum are expecting tira to be like 3x
better, but somehow i cant see them doing that much with her despite what they have said, it just wont be enough and she will still probably be dissapointing,thats just what i think
people like tira for example(i realise this will probably be biassed)but it think should jump from low tier to mid mid-high since she is a special character too with two stances,and the way she changes from them and such
and the other low tiers could go to around middle level but have it so there still hard to get good with but if you do atleast your about flippin mid way not mostly losing,how hard you try
i think the characters really needs to be a big concern for the developers because stuff the gameplay if your main character is rubbish especially if you play one it really can stop you playing even or if you have to move on to someone else you wont enjoy it all that much
they want SCV to be mega replayable like SC4 but it the characters arent really something then i can see it dying out after awhile for some people,thats why all the characters ought to really be improved
i know this isnt all about ivy but i felt it was relevant too and i wanted to get it across to you guys what i really think
