Bubble-T posted:With all the magic and technology in fighting game universes you'd think they could invent some sort of sports bra. This reminds of when SNK was the best company ever in the mid-nineties and put out dozens of short comics making fun of themselves and their characters. The best one was this one where Mai is complaining about how her costume is causing her massive back pain and giving her stretch marks before 40. So she goes back to using her FF3/Real Bout costume and there's all these reasons for why it's better like the better support and whatever. Then the last panel is a bunch of pervy looking guys looking this outfit on a drafting table going "Hrmm...breaks continuity...shows too much leg unrealistic...decreases flexibility..." and literally every excuse that exists. Eerily prophetic of female fighting game character design today.

It's possible I'm misunderstanding something about the loop stopping system, but the combo videos that have been posted for Skullgirls so far all seem to have some loops in them that go unbroken. I'm assuming that they wouldn't demo combos that the system is designed to discourage or prevent, so what am I missing?

Brannock posted:What's the difference between vortex and rushdown characters? I know how they play differently but I'm having trouble explaining the distinction to a friend. Rushdown: Presses offensive advantages. Generally very oriented on gaining aggressive momentum and sticking with it. Vortex: A subset of said characters that puts you into a knockdown situation where the enemy has an extremely low chance of guessing right to escape the followups, which all feed back into the same low-chance of escape mixup. Hence, once you enter the vortex, you don't escape.

I'm assuming that they wouldn't demo combos that the system is designed to discourage or prevent, so what am I missing? Here's the rules as I understand them: -Whatever you do on the ground at the start of a combo is ignored by the loop detection. -After you launch, loop detection kicks in and start taking note of what moves you use in each section of a combo. I think a section counts as something like jumping after a launch to landing, or landing to jumping again but I'm fuzzy on that so ask jmcrofts. -If a section starts with a move you've already used anywhere in the combo, it triggers loop detection and they can burst. If you watch that last Valentine combo where she's doing a lot of jumps in the corner, notice that each jump section starts with a different move until eventually she uses the body bag. I think that Painwheel purple mode combo with four ground bounces works the same way. I might also be real wrong about the combo rules.

I'm assuming that they wouldn't demo combos that the system is designed to discourage or prevent, so what am I missing? Variations of a loop can help prevent it from kicking in, but the infinite prevention system is a simple loop prevention with a ton of exceptions coded into it. I would say a lot of the loops you see in those videos are ones that are hard coded in to be allowed for X number of reps or have properties built in to allow them to loop but not be infinite.

It's possible that Painwheel's level 3 could ignore the loop detection while it's active, but I don't know and I'm pulling this entirely out of my rear end.

Loops like the Ms Fortune headbutt loop work because each section (which are separated by the head attack) starts with a different normal. Once you run out of normals you can't continue the loop without triggering an infinite. The painwheel lv3 air throw loop is the same thing. Every time he starts a new section (which is after each ground bounce), a different air normal is used which lets you avoid doing a true infinite. Again, you can only do a few reps before you run out of normals. There are almost no character or move-specific exceptions to the IPS, the only "big" exceptions are that the first ground section of a combo is ignored, and you can't trigger an infinite during your first jump. The only character-specific IPS exception I can think of is that Parasoul can trigger an infinite by repeatedly chaining into and out of her headstomp move, even though technically it's only one really long combo section. There are no loops that are hard-coded to be acceptable by the IPS, if you see a loop it's either a. at the beginning of the combo so you get an ignored section or b. each section is started with a different normal.

Once you run out of normals you can't continue the loop without triggering an infinite. I tried to ask Mike about this but either he didn't see the post or ignored it so maybe you can illuminate this: I was told if you start with a jumping move, that counts as a jumpin and is free (and I believe precedes the two free ground sections). Does that section only end when you land? If not I don't see how this combo works...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV4QGR_BTyo&t=12m32s Hot loving drat, this system has the craziest poo poo. It really does remind me of every FG system in recent memory crammed into one. Too bad it really dropped off the radar. Oh well, I guess I have my overpriced import copy of BB:CS:EX for entertainment. The more I see of CC, though, the better it looks.

flatluigi posted:Apparently CC's filled with braindead infinites, last I heard. It's too bad. There isn't a single practical infinite in the game? There's only even one known one and I've never seen anyone do it in a real match (presumably because it's super situational). And yes they're working on a v1.1 patch, which is to make one of the boss characters playable and fix some bugs. The only thing really questionable about the game is that Exceed Mode is super-duper strong. That is basically to say, once you have max super meters, the other person is gonna die the next time you hit them. This is a little weird when combined with how well some characters can build super meter by wiffing specials. The unfortunately result of this is that other uses for meter are far less useful, so even though there are tons of systems in place, you don't see a whole lot of them by comparison. So there's nothing really wrong with it, but it is kind of janky in that regard. It sort of reminds me of Alpha 3, minus the dumb rear end infinites. The character balance is also very good BTW. There's some obvious best characters, but they haven't seemed to be substantially better than anyone else. Edit: v1.1 is already out actually, so it seems.  about Exceed mode may very well be outdated at this point as well, also seems like they greatly lowered the rate of meter gain in this version, and did some character rebalancing.Edit2: Yeah they at least nerfed the Overheat time of Exceed mode a fair bit, it's 20 seconds now as opposed to 12. Not sure about damage scaling or all that though. Gwyrgyn Blood fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Dec 26, 2011 |
