When you're theory crafting, you take into account the character being played at the highest level. I don't care about your friends who can kinda play Mileena but not at the highest level. That's how it works.
You keep saying that. You can't be this naive I feel I'm being trolled.
Actually that's how bad theory crafters craft. Someone with any sense would craft according to a reasonable level of play, not the one best player.
If you genuinely think this, then you have never ever played at a decent level offline. Ever. Sorry, but you're clueless. That's how it is. You're saying that in MK9 online, you could play the same way you play offline. This is hilariously incorrect.
So let me get this straight, if I am of a certain opinion, and it doesn't match with your personal experience, then I must have just never been in your position? "
That's how it works". Fuck, I didn't expect you to have a very high threshold for abstract thought but I didn't think it went this far. But anyway, there is a noticeable difference, albeit a very small difference between offline and good connection online. This difference never happened to adversely effect my play or any of the people I chose to regularly play with unless the connection got out of hand. It feels better to play offline, I'll give it that, and it very rarely does actually make a difference in a match, and for that reason I'm glad that tournies are held offline, because one small mistake that may happen 1 in 500 times online could make a difference offline. But I'm not sure how this makes online a purely recreational environment with no competitive play.
Again, it seems that you don't even understand basic frame data. I don't even know what to say, seriously, this is so bad. You seriously think that LoL requires the same latency as a fighting game? Where you need to do 1 frame links?
Last hitting, cd timing, flashing, chain cc'ing, ability combo'ing, all occasionally require the player to act with within 1 frame and these are things all 10 players do regularly per game.
Do you genuinely believe that? If you travel, ever, anywhere, you're gonna be up for a rude awakening.
The offline connection must be way better in the places you play. I'll have to go sometime.
k den
You're still going at it. You think most tech has been discovered. I don't think you even know what match ups means. Hell I don't think you even realize what you're saying.
I never said I think most of the tech has been discovered. I said the sum of the "tangible" parts of this game is greater than the sum of what we will discover in the future, and tech is part of the tangible stuff. Hope that makes sense.
1) No one has discovered the optimal combos and they'll probably take more than a year to discover.
2) No one has discovered efficient, major-proven setups or tech yet. You know why? Because you actually need to play competitively first and the game just came out.
3) No one knows match up specific tech. No one knows match ups. Match ups take YEARS to evolve.
4) No one knows ANYTHING yet. Just because you know the move list doesn't mean you know ANYTHING. I played MK9 for years and I was STILL learning stuff 4 years later.
1) I disagree. My bet is that a lot of fighters will be using the same bnbs that they have now, unless the meta heavily changes to favor a different style of play, they are changed via patch, or new set ups are discovered that alter their combo into something different, but not new. This isn't to say all characters will be using the same combos they have now, because that's absurd.
2) I disagree. Many viable set ups have been discovered since release. I'm not sure if "major-proven" is supposed to mean it has to do well at a major before it's considered good, but if that is what you were saying, then I'd say you should be more confident. Majors do nothing other than attempt to prove which player is better at that time. Set ups are proven to be good or bad by testing to see how strong it is against anyone competent or a bot if that set up is able to be tested on a bot.
3) There is definitely MU specific tech. It may not be amazing, and there may not be much of it, but it certainly exists. I agree no one knows match ups yet, but we can speculate for the future based on what we know now, and we wouldn't be the first to have our hypotheses be proven correct.
4) And I'm sure we'll still be learning stuff four years from now as well.
Ironic
So Troy told me your Evo bracket and it's funny that you were bragging about it. I guess your best accomplishment was beating people who don't even own the game lawl
Feel better?
