So in other words FADC didn't devalue the shimmy correct?

Or if you believe it does please explain how that works.

FADC did in terms of making overall footsies weaker, but jmcrofts was right in that crouch tech had a way bigger effect.

I'd have to dig for it but Alioune talked about it at length on Twitter once, though it was more a discussion about why FADC (and overreliance on it) made people bad at footsies.

dangerdoom volvo posted:

so you actually have no idea why you said it

bhsman posted:

Nah, it had to do with removing risk and other stuff (like crouch tech) being better, as jmcroft pointed out more accurately than me.

lmao @ this exchange.. also bhsman have you ever tried forming/expressing your own opinion before? it's tempting to look at already formed opinions from "respected" players to help gain an understanding, and I even think this can be of great help towards greater understanding of a thing. but co-opting the opinions of others without understanding the context and then parroting them to others is pretty :gonk:

Nothing I say will please you guys, so I'm not about to dig through 4 weeks of Alioune's tweets of dozens of hours of Eduardo's streams to see where they talked about it. I screwed up and admitted it. I'd give a poo poo if this wasn't about 2-3 goons being mad about the word 'shimmy' and being SkiSonic.

And not for nothing, Zand, but I've read your rambling posts before and I wouldn't judge too harshly.

Looking at this discussion I realize that western FGC should adopt more superior JP jargon. Don't be satisfied with just "oki" and "abare"!! When I win my tachimawari I want to get a mekuri sagikasane hame off my gamenhashi setup so I can kezuri their last few pixels

I realize you really like SFV but that is seriously a Nothing Tweet. There is no information in that tweet at all. It's an announcement about an announcement with no dates or times. A tweet saying "fart" would have answered exactly as many questions.

And? Will the news on the next update come in the next hour? The next day? The next week (it had better come in the next week since that's the end of March)? What does "shortly" mean?

Aksys caught a bunch of flak about this recently too when they said that the GG Revelator pre-order (and attached demo access) would be available "very soon" and then took three weeks to reveal that "very soon" apparently means a month and a half after the announcement.

It's the kind of "community management" poo poo that says you need to remain in constant contact with the community (which is more or less true) without any substance to communicate (which is bad). So all they can do is pretend that they're communicating, because no corporate drone is going to say "yo, poo poo's hosed up, sorry for the delay." I hate marketing spin.

Actually if the blog post comes today it's even weirder because then they could have just made the post without tweeting it's coming soon. There is no scenario where this tweet has more positive impact than negative.

I'm not even mad about it it's just really weird to me that they'd choose to post it.

Because doctrine says that you need to be saying something. Even when that something is meaningless. Because there are some suckers out there with no critical thinking skills who'll get a warm a fuzzy feeling knowing that capcom cares about them.

e: I took classes on this kind of thing (and have since heard professionals in the field talk) until I decided that I didn't like constantly lying by omission as a profession. It's a lot like politics, but without any of the idealism.

I'm actually curious how you think those two go together but if you can't explain the concepts you're trying to call out then what's the point of acting like you understand their interaction?

Or if you're just going to say "I saw a twitter discussion on it" then at least source it

I don't care if people use shimmy but it doesn't help your credibility to claim something and get called the gently caress out on it

I'm with you that it's probably not needed, or at least shouldn't have been put out there unless an update was ready RIGHT NOW, but the fact that there's been nothing from Capcom until that tweet seems relevant. Just thought I'd share it is all.

Sounds like the update's getting delayed. If they had good news, that tweet would have said "release date for the update coming soon!" Or maybe it wouldn't, gently caress if I know.

Having put a few hours into Pokken the last couple days really puts the sorry state of this game's online infra into perspective. I have never waited more than ten seconds to get a ranked match in Pokken, even during off hours, but with SFV I spend minimum a minute or two in the queue not counting minute+ long loading screens before and after every match.

well necalli is my "main" in that i feel he's my best character at the moment, and i'm also working on a fang. got a long way to go with fang before i'm comfortable with him, then i'll go on to rashid to round out the newcomers.

my laura was destined to be awful, i was playing her because i've never really put time into a heavy setup/reset character. learned a lot from playing her, she was a great character to start off sfv with cause she has the fewest "options" of any character in most situations, so you're forced to learn honest play.

i feel bad playing necalli though, he's one of the best characters in the game :(
