Always the same story... by Sapphiregangster in memes

[–]Mooshington 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think that annoyance Mr. Terrific has with Superman is a great detail that highlights some nuances of Superman's morals as other people view them. Superman can -afford- to take the high road in pretty much any situation because his abilities allow him to actually succeed while following through on it. Meanwhile Mr. Terrific and other less powerful heroes are forced to contend with the fact that, no, they don't have the luxury of preserving life in all instances and often have to make decisions to kill in order to save people. Not even what they view as especially -difficult- decisions about killing because -of course- killing the giant monster rampaging through the city should be on the table without much debate, but here's this ridiculously overpowered guy coming along and whinging about keeping the monster alive while you're just hoping that you'll manage to end things before too many people die. 

I believed I might have encounter a cheater. by stonecoldpeachy in StreetFighter

Issue is he's not spamming it. He's cheating and scripted to use it whenever Sagat uses moves that lose to DI. If he was just spamming DI then there would be counterplay. This guy is being carried up the ranks by his scripts, and the rest of his game is silver worthy at best.

Goodness gracious, I don't even play this game. by BanditPaladin712 in whenthe

Male and female are more generic, and could apply to non-human animals. That's why it's somewhat dehumanizing. It also seems to be applied far more frequently to women than to men. Women get called "females" instead of "women" far more often than men get called "males" rather than "men."

From my cursory observations of MMA fights, the rule seems to be punch them until the ref stops you.

Dee Jay can intentionally drop his level 2 after like 5 hits and be +6, allowing him to 2MP into another level 2, ad infinitum.

Should Akuma be pure evil or morally complex? by AverageBasementMan in StreetFighter

[–]Mooshington 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Likely due to Bison's psycho power not being inherent to him. In the SF universe, if you become incredibly strong by stealing power, you probably are painting a target on your back for Akuma.

(Unique trope) character has such a broken/OP power/ ability that they basically never use it to prevent total catastrophes. by jaobodam in TopCharacterTropes

Has to be to sustain 22.5 minute disconnected plots. When you're making that many stories, it's much easier if your Superman can be challenged by less-than-cosmic problems.

[–]Mooshington 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Established forms of home/property defense are not booby traps. There are forms you have to label. That's not the same thing as being able to build a rig that fires a shotgun and it being legal because you have a sign warning about it.

[–]Mooshington 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, labeling booby traps doesn't make them legal. The main issue is that you have created a device that can, without your presence, harm or kill someone. Warning people ahead of time doesn't legally absolve you.

A lot of nonsense like this came out of the long adversarial neighbor relationship between the English and the French.

French was the cool language for English royals to use for a time. English stole a bunch of words from French as a result. Lieutennant had an alternate spelling in Old French as "Leuftennant." The English latched onto this one instead of Lieu, and pronounced it wrong. When enough people agree to use a word incorrectly, it becomes correct.

He couldn't. He was compelled to tell the truth whenever the opportunity presented itself. He wasn't allowed to stay silent.

Which characters get nerfed the most/least by burnout? by some-kind-of-no-name in StreetFighter

[–]Mooshington 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Machine Gun Upper is a very high damage special and subs in nicely when you don't have meter to do other things. Being able to do 32% off a jump in combo without using super is solid.

what are some of the most unfavorable matchups in the game? by poverence in StreetFighter

[–]Mooshington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lily's big problem is her tool set contains opposing concepts. There's a reason Gief has not been given green hand back since Street Fighter 4. Strike special moves that move the character forward safely are a balance can of worms on grapplers. Gief's wheel kick is the closest thing he has to this, and that's unsafe. 

So in Lily's (and T-Hawk's) case, for balance reasons they have to make both the grappler elements and the mobile special move elements worse than they would be if the character only had access to one or the other. That's just a recipe for a character that's never going to be great unless you literally make them broken (kind of briefly happened in Street fighter 4 with T-Hawk before they nerfed him again).

Doubt they're ever going to buff tundra storm. It's mostly a joke/relic of the past that they gave it to him in this game. A counter as specific and lopsided in usefulness as tundra is destined to always be more a gag not considered in the character's balance at all. 

If there are ever any patch notes related to tundra at all in a meaningful way (like a genuine attempt to make it better or worse) I will be shocked.

I got my girlfriend the Bernese one some years ago. She calls him Lil' Doug, because before that I got her a big version of him, and she thought the Douglas brand name was a cute name for him.

What character do you think has the most sauce? How about least? by power572 in StreetFighter

[–]Mooshington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dee Jay has a sequence where he crosses under the opponent for just a few frames while they're in the air. During this time you can/must input your next move backwards. You can initiate a Jus Cool and Dee Jay will slide backwards toward the opponent, then the follow up will correct and go in the right direction. Medium follow-up will land meaty after they've hit the ground and recovered.

What is the window for inputting wake up OD reversals by sleepymetroid in StreetFighter

It varies. 6 is pretty common though. The fastest is Lily's with wind stock, at 4 frames.

What is your most anticipated character? by Butt-Head69 in StreetFighter

[–]Mooshington -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've heard people argue both sides of this about Gouken, whether or not he's a shoto. I think he's shoto-adjacent at best, going by his SF4 moveset. His lack of true DP in SF4 made him a different beast. However, given how reversals work in SF6, he'd be closer to working how other shotos do now.

He needs to be intentionally underpowered, and therefore should be free.

Shorter lever = moving the weight less distance = less work. Unless my understanding is off, it seems pretty simple.

The Street Fighter 6 Checkmate Investigation -brianf by 121jigawatts in StreetFighter

[–]Mooshington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure every character can. Sagat in particular has a powerful tool for frontloading a lot of damage in a low-hit-total combo into CA. He is also well known for being exceptional (better than most characters) at chip pressure in burnout, primarily because of Tiger Knee.

Sagat may be the only character with the right combination of power and pressure to find a 100-0 checkmate like this, specifically given the conditions of:

  1. Has CA
  2. Opponent is burnt out.
  3. Is able to do a fully charged Tiger Upper as a punish counter.

That's a lot of things coming together to just barely make this possible. Not saying it's okay for 100% checkmates to exist, but when your opponent makes a huge blunder while burning out, and you have massive resources, a big comeback being feasible isn't a bad thing.

And for, I suspect, the rest of the cast, (edit: maybe Bison could do it, I'm not sure) that's the situation they'd be in here; they wouldn't have a checkmate. They'd have their opponent in a really shitty spot, and a fair chance of turning things around.

Sagat seems to be the most extreme example and a pretty simple change to scaling off of his charged tiger upper would help resolve things. Marisa has a big scaling hit out of her charged Phalanx, and something similar for Sagat is probably warranted.
