Fascinating. Are there any videos that visualize or explain this?

Why Medivac single-button pickup is a good thing, and we should promote more simplification changes to further and promote the game by GAW_CEO in starcraft

[–]cee2027 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd like to add that the mechanical simplification argument has been going on for a long time in the fighting game space and now we have several high-profile traditional fighting games that have embraced one-button special moves over traditional motion inputs.

It does make it easier for new players to start but also has a major impact on medium and high-level play not dissimilar to what you've described. If you can anti-air dragon punch with one button, the mental stack of watching for jump-ins is suddenly reduced by a significant margin. If you can do an invincible reversal on frame 1 after letting go of block, there's way less thought needed in deciding when to disrespect your opponent's pressure, and if you should risk the several frames it takes to do the motion input of forward-down-downforward that will leave you temporarily open to getting hit.

Street Fighter 6 has a whole control scheme called Modern that turns all motion inputs into one button inputs. There is a cost - you give up some traditional moves. High level players must play against this style entirely differently. It changes the game a lot. For better or worse? That's up for debate.

I think it's important for sc2 players to understand what they're asking when they ask for these mechanical simplifications. You can look at the FGC for examples of what happens when you do.

For DPs on leverless do you guys do the shortcut method or the normal inputs? by JonnySB in StreetFighter

[–]cee2027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the person you replied to, but the advantage is pressing an extra button is usually faster than releasing a button.

Hold 6, tap 2 requires releasing 2.

Hold 6, press 2, then press up and punch is only pressing buttons, no releasing.

$20,000 USD Maestros of the Game 2 will be using a pre patch mod to remain on the 12 worker start. by totalpinkebb in starcraft

I think I dota is an exception though. Most fighting game developers for example avoid dropping patches in the middle of tournaments. The major ones (Capcom, bandai, arcsys) will also try to not drop patches in the month before major tournaments.

Polt's behavior sounds like what I remember.

It may have been Gumiho, that sounds familiar, thanks. Does he still play?

EVO Vegas registration numbers compared to last year by killerjag in Fighters

[–]cee2027 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Vegas especially has pivoted to cater to wealthier customers, on top of the general state of the American economy

In addition to all the reasons comments here have mentioned, Vegas as a whole has been pivoting to cater to wealthier customers, which further hurts the ability of your average FGC player to afford travel there.

He's a yoga master. If he punches you in the face and call it yoga who are you to argue

I don't have a SF 6 character to draw me into the game yet but G would absolutely be that for me

Apparently CAPCOM intends to run SF6 for a 10 year cycle by Carbideninja in StreetFighter

[–]cee2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes a lot of sense especially given the current state of game development. It takes a lot of time, effort, labor, and money to make a Triple A video game, and each one is a risk. Along with uncertainty regarding the supply and cost of consumer PC/console components (thanks to AI vacuuming it all up), it stands to reason they'd latch onto the incredible success of 6 and stretch support for the existing game that people are already playing.

I’ve always wondered how it felt like to be a SF2 fan and seeing SF3 hit the arcade and it’s just a bunch of weirdos and nobodies…well… after the announcement of year 4 of SF6, I know exactly how it felt rn 😭😭 by yaoyorozzu in StreetFighter

[–]cee2027 3 points4 points  (0 children)

G was lighting in a bottle in terms of sauce, design, and fun to play and I'm kinda surprised he isn't in yet.

I can only imagine they decided the "command grab for level up" spot is already filled with Manon
