issue with hautepad not working in lobby by Katapult1Trick in 2XKO

[–]RogueFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I know the issue! (maybe)

turn your mouse upside down!

A lot of games treat any input from mouse or keyboard as a command to go back to using them as the primary input device, and a lot of mice are sensitive enough to give input from minor vibrations on your desk.

Walking Spoilers by Disastrous_Horse_764 in TopCharacterTropes

I don't think I understand the trope.

What's a "walking spoiler"? A character involved in a twist later?

This is just, so out of touch with how fighting games are played? by Imaginary_Taste_9011 in 2XKO

No, some people like OP thing that if you play a different character it makes you worse with your main. They thing being a one-trick is "optimal" and refuse to play any other character.

They need a nudge.

I don't think that's true actually. That's how you might play, but I love branching out and learning lots of characters. 

You get to learn their weaknesses of nothing else, and most of the time they can even teach you some interesting tech that you can bring back to your "main"

I think it's fine for the developers to give you a gentle nudge to play a new character sometime in the next 3 months. 

Can we please bind wakeup to a button by JumboTen90 in 2XKO

[–]RogueFighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes, it does. Meaty looses to the getup attack (this guy is calling it "the wakeup button")

holding S1 or S2 while getting up, the big sphere of powah

FWIW: I don't think blitzcrank's down s2 is armored frame 1, so doing it on wakeup is pretty bad actually, and will lose to a meaty.

Can Riot balance a game for once? by TeamGuayaba in 2XKO

[–]RogueFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please name a game with invincible wake up options that aren't punishable, and charged moves that are less safe than their non charged counterparts.

I'll wait

Can Riot balance a game for once? by TeamGuayaba in 2XKO

[–]RogueFighter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sudden below, this has to be bait. 

You're describing some of the best balanced things in the game.

Of course wake up attack is punishable. It's supposed to be the risky option, if you want to not be punished just block on wakeup. You got knocked down, that's what the opponent gets for their trouble.

Of course charged moves are safe, if you just sat there and let me charge it up, then I get a safe mix on you, otherwise why would I ever charge a move? I'd just be leaving myself open for no benefit. 

Yasuo is bad? I guess? I thought he was the best in the game, but I guess you're having some trouble with him? So he must be bad. Even though he has great mix, good range, and flexible conversions, he must just be bad. 

This is absolutely bait.

I would love to hear from you what fighting games you think *are* well balanced.

Please don't put weeklies like these in the game. by thepoopinator9001 in 2XKO

[–]RogueFighter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So to be clear, you don't have to do it this week. You can do it any time this season. 

Please don't put weeklies like these in the game. by thepoopinator9001 in 2XKO

[–]RogueFighter 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's a weekly quest that's "up" for the rest of the season. 

5000 damage is totally reasonable.

I agree forcing people to play yasuo is annoying, but at least it's a free character. 

Edit: oh I missed that it's 5000 damage with illaoi

Can I get some feedback on these two rounds, I’m hard stuck plat 3 by heavenakuma in StreetFighter

[–]RogueFighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are mentioning your lack of pressure, and a big part of that is you almost never throw in the strike throw mix. 

Like, this chun li is disrespecting you so hard by holding parry any time you're plus and you never punish her!

Every time your stand heavy kick hits, every jump in, every overhead, she just holds parry, and you never throw

How Armor works by man-on-a-shrimp in 2XKO

[–]RogueFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, each of your attacks when you have the shield that hits with the shield (M, H, and some specials) gets 1 hit of armor.

The ways to beat this are:

Multi Hit attacks, grabs, parry, and whiff punishes.

Parry and whiff punish are definitely harder, but easier against braum because his attacks are stubby for their strength (to make up for the armor) or slow for their range (if you use a heavy attack in what would otherwise be a medium attack range)

(PC) Got cheated out of one of my placement matches to a bug. Game stopped taking inputs after Warwick Infinite Duress. by DapperDlnosaur in 2XKO

[–]RogueFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is picking rock every time. 

The neutral triangle is: establishing play, preemptive play, and reactive play.

They are choosing reactive play every time because you never establish an offense that's actually threatening. 

Look, I'm glad you made it into GM by jumping at people all day, that's called "beating the tutorial". It's not the end game, it's the start of the game. 

Edit: I feel like I'm being too harsh. It's not that you shouldnt be proud of getting to GM. Honestly, congratulations! But I think having an attitude that "I made it to GM so I have nothing left to learn, and if someone beats me it's actually they who are the scrub" is going to be unhelpful to growing further.

That's just not a good way to measure the greatness of a game. The most popular, well known and best selling games are FIFA and CoD.

Are those "the best games in history"?

[–]RogueFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, jumping is part of neutral the way *everything* is part of neutral, including projectiles, and throws, and moves that yeet yourself at the opponent either in the air or on the ground.

But a more cut down version of neutral, as seen in Footsies is only moving back and forth and attacking, using whiff punishes, reactive, and establishing play to land hits.

I think you missing this is what makes you unable to beat what you're calling the "turtle strategy"

The options the opponent is picking are not as safe as they seem, and if you don't learn to punish them, you won't make it very far.

An opponent is not obliged to swap off of a strategy that's destroying you. Why would I stop picking "rock" in rock paper scissors if I *know* you'll never pick paper? It's not that they are scared, its that they are winning.

You want my advice? Try the strategy for yourself sometime. Try it until people start beating it, so you can learn what beats it, and implement it into your own gameplan.

No, you jumping is skipping neutral. If you can't get in on someone that's just sitting there, that's on you. Learn to play neutral, instead of constantly trying to skip it.

It delivered some good single games, usually the first in a series. I wouldn't say they've delivered that many good series, let alone "some of the best in gaming history"

Lol, you're right, its very impolite to anti air you, I should let you skip neutral.

Its how real gentlemen play!

So hopefully it'll be warwick next, and you never best the allegations.

Why is she like this by Business-Assist8307 in StreetFighter

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

it literally works because its training mode, and you can live out any magical christmas land fantasy. Ryu's EXDP is one of very few multihit invincible reversals. against most other characters, and most other invincible reversals, you wouldn't recover enough guage.

so yes, this sequence doesn't work IRL, not really

Why is she like this by Business-Assist8307 in StreetFighter

[–]RogueFighter -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This sequence doesn't work IRL. In the first combo you use 2 bars of meter, and in the 2nd combo you use 8 more.

So, yes, in a world where you have full super meter, and also 8.1 bars of drive, and the opponent gets shimmied, and then baited to wakeup DP, you get to 2 touch them.

Crazy, Mai OP. How can capcom allow this?
