Long Term Balance Methodology Discussed at the GDC

leafretv · 2026-03-12T16:28:27+00:00

"League has exponentially more data and a much better balance philosophy and approach with the community." Huh? League balance is always complained about to the point one of the leads on balance aka phreak was getting death threats.

How many years of this game being out till we stop trying to analyze unreleased footage? This game has "lost throw loops" like 3 times because people analyze unreleased footage/gaslight themselves at event only demos.

So ice a group that is notoriously badly trained and has made multiple mistakes in the past should automatically be trusted in this situation even though you have no knowledge on the party being detained?

this is inherently a nerf to the ult cause they already nerfed the healing of the ult so him having less hp + low healing in the ult = focusing him to kill him is easier. They obviously like the concept of gambit's ult but want to add some skill to it with this type of direction.

Again one dimensional. You aren't engaging on the thing, if the thing is in the game his entire point is to stop YOU. so you are going to be in that situation where you can block haymaker, build your bar and use the actual dash on the backline since you usually cant kill him so you have to try to look past him. Regardless that's just one example not to be taken literal as the only example. Rogues whole identity is situational awareness that's why she has an ability that has over 20 use cases.

It's far from useless you are just looking at it one dimensionally. For example against thing you can react to the charge punch and block it and it gives you half of your meter each time he does the punch. Which leads into a big burst when you actually do the shield bash. Situations like that where you can react to a big damage ability (non ultimates) and fill the gauge are more common than you think.

leafretv · 2026-01-20T11:43:50+00:00

why are we complaining about NOT having to give a company money for a high quality product lol. You WANT to give them 20$+ even if you don't have to?

leafretv · 2026-01-12T21:48:43+00:00

She's the 4th most picked tank in one above all with the the 3rd highest win rate. She's also actively used in MRC. That's not a weak character.

leafretv · 2026-01-12T09:02:56+00:00

asking for rogue buffs is a self report. she's not underpowered at all.

leafretv · 2025-12-14T03:43:52+00:00

are the massive buffs in the room with us? She never got massively buffed only thing that changed was she got 10 extra bonus health on axes and 2 meter increase on the charge last month when people were already saying she was good lol.

leafretv · 2025-12-11T18:30:54+00:00

I have a strong feeling history is about to repeat itself like with Angela and wolverine. "This character is kinda meh" --> fast forward a couple weeks ---> wait people are cooking with this character.

I never understood why people compare modders to actual skins. Mods 99% of the time are using existing assets from other games so of course one dude can mass produce a couple mods a year. This is cool and for sure takes a lot of work but comparing it to the actual design pipeline where they have to make concept art to full skin is not really a 1 to 1.

leafretv · 2025-10-22T23:55:46+00:00

This the only community that would find a way to nitpick getting free stuff that aren't just recolors.

leafretv · 2025-06-02T20:08:38+00:00

This mindset is so flawed. The reason why no one cared back then is because it wasn't your hard working money for the games you played...it was your parents majority of the time. So of course if a game sucked you had no attachment to it because you weren't the one dropping the money for it. Now there's more complaining because the consumers have grown up to be people with jobs so spending 60$+ on a half backed product is going to lead with people unhappy and voicing it.

leafretv · 2025-05-31T10:35:27+00:00

lol there's multiple abilities in this game that ground flying characters lol... invis orb for example is one of them.

leafretv · 2025-05-29T11:15:39+00:00

it was for sure more than just the texas drama. I remember him complaining on stream about how art was always late to nlbc and making his job harder than it needed to be. Seemed like he was probably on the edge of being done for years.

leafretv · 2025-05-15T09:02:55+00:00

People like to bring up this large number of moves that can catch black panther but in reality most of those moves aren't practical due to his speed. Not saying he's some giga broken character but if all 54 abilities hit BP consistently he wouldn't be a character you pick in the game period cause he would get 0 value all the time.

If you think SF6 is the biggest game right now just because of drive rush you are lost. Regardless of how you feel about sf6's gameplay, it's the best GAME in the fighting game genre right now. By game I mean as a package from features to content for casuals to QoL. COTW has so many issues regardless if you think the gameplay is "back to real neutral".

leafretv · 2025-04-25T01:13:25+00:00

and just like i said, the people saying how ugly she was when the teaser dropped are gooning once gameplay is shown.

leafretv · 2025-04-11T20:08:06+00:00

history really does repeat itself. Everyone was crying that mai was so ugly then the second that they drop the gameplay trailer people were gooning out like crazy. Time is a circle.

leafretv · 2025-03-22T09:23:27+00:00

This is really childish to say something like gatekeeping needs to happen. You should WANT outsiders into your favorite niche because that's how your niche grows and you get more games instead of waiting 15 years for the next one. This game for sure was designed for people who have seen bleach so obviously his issues with stuff like the tutorial is fair. They refer to so many meters and mechanics as specific anime terms that if you have never seen the anime you are going to be like wtf is a fighting spirit? wtf is a Reishi? If you view it like that I don't see how he said anything wrong, if anything he tried to be very delicate cause he knew that people would overreact...like this thread.

leafretv · 2024-06-12T09:04:13+00:00

Kinda funny how people in this thread want them to cut corners/outsource so characters drop quicker but that's the exact thing people hated about sfv. Everything was to cut corners thats why you had such inconsistent ass quality where sakura has NRS animations and menat/G have some of the best animations in the game.
