Yeah, having an alpha build available to the public always presents its pros and cons
Xrd is the sfiv of anime games. You are making it sound way more complicated than it is.
I'm guessing this incited another war between people who are pro-competitive and think it's subpar and stans that think Sakurai can not do wrong?

In Marvel 3 it takes like an hour of playing to unlock everything through the points you earn through online matches. Yet, the game forever spends like 7 seconds after every match saving those battle points that become irrelevant after an hour.
Most obnoxious shit ever.

Actually for once mostly everyone agrees it is bad.

In what way? Bad organization, or easily crashes, or something like that?

Forced FFA for player made tournaments to begin with from what I've read.
So I played a few games of rising thunder.
My impressions:
I like the look of the game, it has it's own art style and I think it's pretty cool watching robots fight.
I'm not totally opposed to the idea of specials being 1 button the only issue I've found is that Supers should require (some more) input than a single button. A few games online have just been people mashing it as soon as they have meter. I think there should be a small amount of input required so people aren't just chaining combo into special every time.
Performance wise I have a GTX 970 and noticed no slow down at all with everything running max 1080p. I think the netcode is also reasonable at least for the games I played as the top right of the screen showed my ping hovering around 80-90ms
1 Feature I think is perfect is that all matches are best of 3, it helps that even if you lose a match you aren't thrown back into a lobby/search pool to find another game when you really want another crack at the person who just beat you. Making the ranked matches BO3 is something I want more fighting games to do.
So far I quite like what I've seen although it needs a little more balance between friendly for newcomers and still entertaining for veterans.
Will continue to play/follow as the updates come through.

Lol his squeaking voice is killing me.
Wait he's complaining about rage quitters when he just rage quit?
Edit: and now I feel bad for the guy. He seems so sad.
Preface is I dno anything bout smash.if sakurai left and someone with a more open minded approach towards competition came on would the casual audience even notice? Like isn't the appeal that they get to fight link vs Mario and higher level stuff is irrelevant?
Did the casual folks hate melee or something?

Saw this shit coming when you realize that fireballs basically have no cooldown in this game.

They just don't care about it and think it's pointless to dedicate so much to a small portion of people who buy the game. Since they identify themselves as being part of a larger base(not hardcore), they feel entitled to have more of what they want in the game.
To compare it to something, it's like how some of the MK base only care about single player content and scoff at Street Fighter, its rival franchise, putting more emphasis on versus competition.

I know, he was a scrub player and got beat by scrub tactics. But fireballs not being on CD means that it's an easy thing to place blame on.

Did he just try to say that Ryu in Vanilla SF4 was broken or something?
He sounds just like dsp
Damn, this breakdown is something. Sounds like the guy has issues, but it also kind of sounds like he's playing it up because he has a soapbox. At least, I really find it unreal that people exist like that and go on diatribes like that even after he's switched games and is doing something else.
There was like no derogatory term for disabled people left unused, damn lol

Tokido about to body this dude
Well it is way more complicated than SF4 at the beginner level. Even just looking at all the stuff in the tutorial it's easy to see why someone new to the series is overwhelmed.
ASW games are kind of overwhelming at first. Like this may sound silly, but having to incorporate FD into pretty much all your movement when other games you just kinda move in is a bit weird. Tying meter to a lot of things is weird at first cause that's like just a GG thing, other games don't do that. The game also has a bunch of weird, old unintuitive stuff in it unless you understand "anime" games like it.
That being said, it's not that hard. You just gotta think differently and then it's like any other fighting game. If you play most modern games, the reversal window is probably a little tight, but like just practice it.
SF4 also has a bunch of complicated, unintuitive stuff in it that's super major and required, but it's more well hidden and not as up front about it.

I can't watch that with audio since I'm at work, but from what I've heard, this guy strikes me as the type of fighting game player who picks up a game, goes to training mode, picks a character, and just practices combos as opposed to the fundamentals and spacing of the character he picked. He'll practice this "hype" combo for a couple hours and think he's hot shit, and then lose to stuff like low forward+fireball, and he just doesn't get it.
After all, he knows this hype combo. How can he lose to somebody who doesn't play like that, and just spams low forward+fireball? He'll lose like that in all the fighting games he plays, and he still just doesn't get it.
So, Rising Thunder comes out, and this is the one fighting game that this guy thinks he'll finally beast in with his hype combos. Well, he loses to the same shit he loses to in other games, and that's the straw that breaks the camel's back. He rants and he raves, but he still just doesn't get it.
Without having listened to that video, that's how I interpret it.

Yeah, I am not a huge fan of having to push three buttons to block.
FD is 2 buttons though. And you only need it to dash brake or cover air movement. Using it while blocking actually has disadvantages for what it does and it costs a lot orz so you don't do it as often as some people think.

2 buttons + holding back = 3 buttons in my mind.
I also don't like that I have to burn meter just to not be unblockable reset in Xrd. Kind of a shitty design choice.
That first line is what.
There are lots of ways to deal with air unblock resets, and flashing meter to get out is fine, you get enough of it to use it in that instance lol
I like this a lot. It's nice being able to force people to stop up-backing all of the time. At least it's not like French Bread games where if you jump, you just can't block a ground normal. No FD to save you lol.
That rant was great, I wish stuff like this happened more often on twitch.
I might be wrong, but it feels like air resets can lead to a bit of a scramble. I'm pretty sure I've seen times where people will try to catch an air tech with an air grab, except the opponent delay techs and air grabs the normal that comes out instead.
Correct. A person I play a lot always blows up my air throw reset attempts by delay teching and throwing me instead.

Don't mind at all.
Am I reading this wrong or does this Chinese SF stream have 109K viewers? 0_o

Does anyone other than ShinMaruku even care about the game here?
china streams have insane numbers of viewers. this year's evo broke the record but the previous record holder for most simultaneous watchers of a fg stream was a chinese kof97 tournament at like 200k~ or so beforehand

I think for the most part the DOA community lives only in the community thread. As far as I can tell they mostly discuss their favorite costumes.
