Assist not being able to be hit is a massive part of why neutral in this game is such a joke, there's hardly any consequences to mashing assists at all times
Other Mvc has the same assist spam but you could actually punish and kill your opponents for bad assist calls, and tokon even has additional teammates and more broken assists than dbfz and invincible vs with near uninteractable assists along with active tag

They have an actual pushblock and bursts, so invincible vs was very defensive and the polar opposite of tokon
Invincible's issues imo was having some of the worst character designs and movesets in fgs from having to adapt edgy knockoff capeslop with a whole race of supermans. It was fun to play since it had good movement, but watching high elo matches was a timeout simulator especially early on, and /co/ wasn't frothing at the mouth to play ripoff man/woman in tights #20 and lorefag about it so it's dead now

Nta and I didn't get to watch CEO. Did the guy have an easy way to swap out of Peni, leave them in blockstun and then run a mix on them? Playing her myself, and that's one of my biggest problems with her. With Magik, I can 214M, tag out, and then get an air dash mix at least. I'm trying to do the same thing with the pendulum, but it's not working out as well.

I enjoy her neutral, so I'll probably keep her on point, but I just wanna see what other people are doing to cover her flaws. I guess that guy plays spiderman, so basically any active tag from Peni to spiderman can lead into his mix.
>>
>>577799253
The problem is his peni didn't do shit that someone else couldn't do and everytime he swapped in peni he literally lost the round. Go count how many times he swapped in peni and died because her buttons are dogshit and shes easily bullyable

Looking at it more in depth, it's still stupid in that cpu usage is around 30, there's plenty of ram and vram that's unused and my gpu usage is around 40 percent too
I don't get it, it does occasionally dip to 59fps but that's it

>>577813760
using dlss/fsr? vsync on or off ingame? trying limiting to 60fps manually with gpu drivers or rtss. can also try manually warming up shaders in the graphics options of tokon

>>577813760
This might sound stupid but try limiting fps to 59.9 instead of 60. For some reason when I limiti to 60 i get micro stutters while limiting at 59.9 gives me a clean 16.6ms frametime

>>577808454
The worst thing about Loki's parries is that it's only if you hit him during the startup that the parry goes into effect. Half the time I try to do 214[M] the opponent still mashes, it's just a bit delayed, and I still get hit.

Found a cool corner to corner Loki combo that only uses 1 assist and deals 64k damage with 120ish meter
The problem is it only works on grounded as the opponent is very fucking liable to just drop out after the 22L if they have any airtime
5M > 2M > 22L > 623H > 8 > jM > j214M > 9 > jM > jH > j.c jHH > Lariat assist > dash a bit and then 5M > 2H > j.c JM > jH > jc. jH > j6H > j214H > 5M > Super
Can do the lv1 super for less meter or just do 214L instead of the supers if you just don't want to spend any meter apart from the initial 623H and get a wallbreak. Will literally work corner to corner so spacing doesn't matter really and isn't reliant on moves with break
>>577817471
Hey I was just going to post this before I saw your post damn
I'm pretty new to labbing him but he really is very finnicky so you have to get used to using things that you know are very stable. For me the simplest parts that always work are just carrying the opponent with a basic air combo that only has air normals and ends in a spike into assist like jh jm jc jh jh into assist
The stupid and garbage spacing gimmicks aren't that difficult if you've already put them into the corner so j6H WILL go into that stupid fucking j214 special while getting anything to work midscreen is strict like you've said. Honestly Loki has god tier wall carry hehe so it's not that bad

The comic was mainly a superhero book making fun of comic tropes even if the characters were written to take it seriously for the sole purpose of being a jab at the comic industry as a whole. There's still actual stuff being played straight but you have to understand it was a product of it's time which is why a lot of people were iffy on the show adaptation be slightly rewritten to taking everything seriously. That and everyone whose read it knows the story goes to shit after the first Viltrumite War.

Anyways to answer your question, your enjoyment of the book is in relation to your tolerance of how much pointless drama you can handle. The show shaves off most of the pointless drama if the previous sentence makes it sound unappealing.

I am baffled by these games that somehow make life harder for both veterans and beginners with their genius ideas. I see a lot of people criticizing the game from the systems perspective or gameplay etc, but I am extremely resilient to all that. But, what blew me away was the amount of 2xkoness when it comes to bloat, unintuitive stuff and this desperate notion that motion inputs are the devil and nothing is worse than them.

That would maybe be true for someone new, but I bet my life that not even the freshest newcomer is going to find motion inputs harder than

1-special button adding to button bloat

2-specials having three strengths, which are done by pressing special button and attack button of the desired strength at the same time (which btw will be a diagonal double press on a stick regardless of layout)

3-all specials being command-buttons

You can hypothetically play this with six buttons if you get rid of the special button, but you can't really do that, so if you only add that, it's a seven button fighter.

Everything they seem to have done in order to make the game "more welcoming" ended up being more cumbersome.

You don't want pesky combo memorization? We got you, if you press the same button twice in an aerial combo, the second press is going to be a knockdown finisher. Ok, but what if i don't want that? Well, if you don't want to do that and would like to perhaps do another jump cancel or something, now you need to circumvent that by doing aerial command normals in order to not trigger this, like forward heavy into jump
I don't know, maybe I'm out of touch or something, but I messed with the game for like half an hour and it was one of the most unintuitive fg's I've ever played when it comes to basic things. why do they think that unique button into attack button into double buttons done quickly is somehow more comfortable than, i don't know, motion into button into motion into button?
>>

It was really fun but extremely jank. I got top 10 on the leaderboards and the top top players just didn't interact since the game was so volatile. I remember playing zippy and the guy literally did nothing but call that broken Eve assist and run away. I don't know how it is anymore, though. I actually really liked the game but that shit died within 2 weeks.

cap is a sleeper character in this game for sure, his assault assist is secretly quite fucked up. there's a lot of setups on wall slump where you can in theory put a huge meaty projectile setup on their head and they have to stand up into it, but they can do the 4L+A backdash counter thing to get out of it
but cap assault assist blocks them parrying the projectile and counters them, meaning they just have to sit there and hold it, 6f startup and over 60f duration on a parry that beats everything but lows is pretty fucking good when combined with how assists don't even go away when hit in this game and their fucked invuln windows, you can genuinely call cap, get hit, and have him save your ass. and even if he doesn't parry he just swings anyway for pressure, and he has a different followup based on how close they are.

You can really tell that Sajam is back on Capcom's payroll. There is no way Tookon is worse than SF5 launch, it's not even comparable. The PC port issues are awful, but at the very least there is a version of Tookon that works and is feature-complete.

I don't think price is a factor when considering how bad a game's launch is. I mean sure, it sucks more if the expensive game you bought doesn't work vs a free game you downloaded, but it ultimately doesn't have an impact on quality one way or the other. Even if Tookon had cost 6000 dollarydoos, the launch would still be better than SF5.

I think people are over-exaggerating the issue. Yeah it is a terrible launch for PC, but let's face it: terrible releases are unfortunately the norm, not the exception with fighting games (and honestly most non-indie games these days). I think people are more upset than usual not because the launch stands out as a truly awful, but because it's quite clear as to why this launch in particular is shit and how it could have been avoided, whereas other terrible launches are usually more nebulous.

Bro are you fucking serious? You know Superman is almost 100 years old right? How many socks you keep around for 100 years? Bro all of this shit is done DECADES after the character's story should have ended long ago with real closure but they never do.

Amount of times it makes sense with proper build up like with Nightwing(who does so for like one run at most) in comparison to virtue signaling asspulls or just incompetence of writers who cant come up with ideas to make legacy characters interesting so they just race/genderswap is insane.

>>
>>577849712
You can tell great individual stories with static characters, character development or growth is not always needed for a great story. I reject this idea that their age or static nature is the reason why American comic book super heroes are shit, people have told several excellent stories about Sherlock Holmes or Robin Hood, and those characters are old and usually very static.
>>
>>577850279
Once again, that is on purpose. Perfect Reflect is there to balance Cross-over. If you nerf it, Cross-over becomes broken as it is extremely strong already.
>>
>>577850127
>Thats a big issue too but mangas going for decades somehow magically dont pull off that type of shit.
Very few, if any manga carry on like western comics AND they don't all exist in a shared universe. Even if they keep pumping out Dragonball manga, it doesn't effect ability of Shueisha to publish new, good stories. And you say manga that go on for decades, but many of these superheroes are more than half a century old, much older than the oldest manga.

On top of all of that, you're fucking wrong. It's literally what Boruto is.
>>
>>577850398
It depends. Stories need closure. That's why there are capeshit books I like, and unsurprisingly its mostly stuff by guys like Alan Moore usually write side stories that actually have an end. It's why "What ever happened to Superman?" is actually good. It ends. Stories need to end.

>people have told several excellent stories about Sherlock Holmes or Robin Hood,
Different interpretations of a character are exactly what I am saying can work. What DOES NOT work is keeping the exact same continuity over a century. Marvel tries to say basically every comic in the 616 timeline is canon unless its been explicitly retconned. That is not good story telling to let the story of the 616 universe go on forever. Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hoods adaptations have endings.
>>
>>577850741
>Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hoods adaptations have endings
But you can have multiple Sherlock Holmes stories in the same continuity without the need for any of the stories to be a definitive end to Sherlock Holmes. A story can have a conclusive end without it needing to be the end of the character. Sherlock solving the mystery and the culprit getting his comeuppance is a satisfying end, and the knowledge that Sherlock will go on to solve more mysteries in the future does not somehow tarnish that. You could tell a really good Superman story in the current continuity with the story ending conclusively while Superman himself returns to status quo for the next story to pick up from.
I think the real problem that you have somewhat hit upon is the fact that many comic book writers don't treat the characters and the setting as static. They try to develop the characters and change the status quo, which usually falls flat because it gets undone by later writers, which is frustrating to read.

You get a pip back, which is important since you need at least one pip in reserve against Cross-over and another to enable most mix. You also get a hard knockdown which many characters can convert into pressure, while the knockdown in the corner can be trickier as they get to choose their wake-up timing and direction.

first fighting game?

anyway as a loki beliver myself his U's are way too easy to break and too slow to setup in a game where assists are this free and they also activate to do nothing against tech rolls so you can really only set them up if you decide to use wallslump to set one up meaty and his feints and counters are just a really situational tool that I feel like in most situations are outdone by just actually doing his moves. why feint fireball to get an airdash when for a slightly longer total startup you can just iceball which lets you airdash in while +frame? why feint dash to bait someone out when you can just cross behind them and avoid their hits that way?

Heres your Top 8 bro
>1. Spider-Man was amongst every team in the Top 8, but was played in all 4 positions
>2. Blade and Magento were commonly used in a supportive role (notably their best positions: Vertical and Assault), but they did have leader presentation!
>3. Green Goblin was the big talk of the town the last few days leading up to CEO, but the majority of his representation got eliminated in Top 16! Even with that said, his presence was still felt from Sonicfox and Yami
>4. Magik being the primary character in online play surprisingly was on the lower end of representation in Top 8 despite data showing she had as close to an even spread as you can get in every team position. Even with that said, she's still a very strong character (debately Top 3).
>All in all, the character spread for the roster seems pretty solid. 11/20 characters were present in the Top 8, but ofc with how Tokon team structure works, not every character had "true" play time. Roughly 8/11 saw some form of playtime in the leader position at some point throughout Top 8. For the first major only 2 weeks after the game's release, I think we couldn't have gotten a better Top 8. Especially with a surprise appearance like Peni making it as far as she did!

it's about 45f to setup, when projectiles hit you fullscreen in about 30-ish. they're way too slow and since they're also so easy to blow up there's no value in using assists to set them up because as you can see in this image the "area" you can hit to destroy them is gigantic and it doesn't seem to actually interact with moves that destroy it
it's one of those classic "we were afraid of this move being giga retarded, so we made it giga bad instead" a trap that freezes them for about a full second, is like +30 on block and lasts for a very long time in an assist game is really degenerate in concept when the character also has good pokes, good fireballs, good movement and multiple + on block specials, but in practice they just get tagged by random shit and instantly lose.

compare this w/ trish in umvc3, who has a pretty similar move except not only does it take about 1/4th the time to throw out, it actively negates the hitboxes of whatever interacts with it which means you can use it as a shield against all kinds of divekicks and projectiles even if they also destroy it. loki is way more fun and better though so maybe again it's ok his trap sucks

If we were talking about games from 20 years ago, these types of arguments would hold more weight. It used to be the case that weak characters actually could become strong with new tech discoveries or shifts in the meta, and vice versa. But modern games are so simple and locked down that within a week or two, it’s obvious to everyone what’s strong and what’s not, and it hardly ever changes until there’s a patch. The games themselves just don’t offer the type of flexibility that you’d need to actually experiment and make new discoveries.
>>
the main problem with lokis traps and tricks is the reward is horrible. even in a best case scenario where you can do something cheeky like gapless string into 5U and because they were mashing back counter they parry it, but you were charging the counter the whole time so you counter their counter you... get less then a throw of damage, no ability to follow up, and a knockdown you can't really do anything with

maybe it's lore since in the story loki is trying to be an actual hero and change his dickhead ways, you're not supposed to rely on traps and overly complicated plans to instead unga sword normals and big + frame special moves like any true protagonist

people are already thinking they underrated cap and peni due to how they were played at ceo, even in more simple modern games you can't judge a meta by the first few weeks with broken online. it always takes a few months for the real metagame to crystalize. like yeah obviously blade, goblin, spidey, shuri are all amazing but that doesn't mean the meta won't change ever again, its not how it works. people thought blanka was shit in sf6 until mena dropped luke to pick him up in S2 despite him getting no changes between then

she wasn't, there were multiple games where she was singlehandedly taking rounds off sonic without being tagged out. kayos specifically said he ran her because her tag out to spiderman is the best in the game in his opinion.

Incorrect, it's just that the flow of information is much faster these days. Of course it could take months or even years to discover that a character was good when you didn't have the modern internet to talk about things. You literally had people going into international tournaments and getting completely blindsided by unblockable setups and the like because they those hadn't been discovered in their local area and there weren't really any platforms to share this info. These days, as soon as someone discovers anything about a character, it gets posted everywhere. You also have way more players playing, which increases the discovery rate even higher.

No, because the central issue is out of ArcSys hands. The problem is either EAC or PS SDK. ArcSys doesn't have access to the backend for either of these, they can't modify or change them in any meaningful way. If the problem is EAC, then it's unlikely it's developers will fix it considering it has existed for over a decade and is still the way it is. If the problem is the PS SDK, it will never be fixed because it's a feature, not a problem.
>>
>>577866839
> The problem is either EAC or PS SDK
It's neither of these things it's the Theia DRM layered on top of the game. EAC does nothing to performance and the PS SDKs are just an easy scapegoat for techlets to single out because they see a bunch of them in task manager and assume that's why the game runs like ass.
>>
>>577866820
nta but I cheesed survival mode with Ms. Marvel because the AI can't deal with 5H -> 236L. They almost always try to 2H but there is not enough time and they get counter hit

>>577866965
Tomato potato, the point is that it is not something ArcSys can fix, and it is something that the people responsible will fix because from their point of view everything is working as intended.

ironically the stuff that looks like it would take timing, the shield bounce, is actually the part you can just mash out and it's the bits involving the assists that have any timing, you gotta delay the 214l so they slide far enough along the ground to get closer to the corner and actually wallsplat, and you gotta wait a sec after the air 236m throw so the assist can actually hit them (it has hella hitstun in the corner and lets him do funny loops). I would like to say it's not that tight but I did fuck up like 10 times trying to record that vid so lol
>>577866820
I just used hulk and mashed armor + assists. I did have to do that shit where you alt+f4 the game and get to keep your save a few times in the final 10 fights though
>do you have any oki setups? any recommended partners?
if you end that combo with 5h 2h 2u instead of the 2h 214m super it seems to set up something very similar to that shit marvelo was doing at CEO so I guess the idea is you just combo time out them in midair but honestly no not really I picked him up on saturday because I wanted a vert assist that isn't magneto or doom and his seemed cool so I haven't been playing him too long. his two main problems are that he doesn't have super cheap mixups (having an ex high and a low means they cant react to just the flash though) and he doesn't have ez blockstun or + frames but instead has a bunch of moves great for getting in while being slightly - so idk pick characters that are good lol

>>577867786
cap can be very + if you can setup an iad jump U on a returning shield but that requires either assists or an oki setup to make it somethign they can't easily get around

something pretty cool though is that his unique shield throws and the bounces let you special cancel them like they're normals on contact, so if your 6U shield that hits a lot of wide angles suddenly bounces at their head you can instantly cancel that into dive to get in

The overhead hit of 5[H] isn't 8f, it's like 40-50f, the real issue is that it looks identical to the 8f mid 5H which cancels into a 12f low

>>
>>577875707
I got those numbers from dustloop but I just double checked them myself and they're definitely off by a lot, the frame display in training mode sucks but as best I can tell by whiffing just the first hit the second hit of 5H is 17f and for 5[H] it's 27f. Adding in hitstop for the first hit connecting it's probably in the 30-35f range for reacting to the first hit animation to block high.

His moves have different interactions with the bomb.
His M and L stake will only pull on detonation when hitting a target at the tip.
>>
>>577874397
it depends on the move you did, and sweetspot skewer vs close range skewer are counted as different moves
>>
>>577876648
That 27f is the startup for the held 5H in its entirety, counting both individual swings not just the 2nd hit. Hitstop doesn't magically make the startup of moves slower. Idk if you're a spidey player trying to be disingenuous or if you just have no idea how to interpret the data training mode is giving you
>>
>>577877015
I think you're misinterpreting what I'm saying
Both versions have 8f of startup for the first hit which is a mid
5[H] then has another 19f to the start of the second hit which is the overhead for a total of 27f
The hitstop of the first hit is going to add a couple frames before that 19f starts to push it to a total of around 30f for you to react to the animation for the first hit and block high, but even if they whiff that first hit so there's no hitstop that's still a 27f overhead and not an 8f one.
>>
>>577877836
You're completely and entirely wrong and hitstop is completely irrelevant to the startup frames of a move

Well the performance on the cracked version is great even on my old machine. I'm glad I didn't pay for Sony bloatware.

Frankly I'm also glad I didn't pay even if I knew I'd have perfect online, the game is honestly kind of jank. I get what they were trying to go for but instead of making the real combos more accessible they just made them more braindead. Ironically newcomers to the genre are going to hate it because everyone feels so slow and stubby.

The story modes were kinda fun if a little too easy, and CPU-5 Champion is just a turbo cheating input-reading bitch that's zero fun to fight. Who the fuck wants to fight a computer that fuzzy guards? Fuck off, Arcsys.

>>577899510
I guess Spider-Man or Ms. Marvel, though I wouldn't consider anyone that much like Hazama they at least have something akin to his chains. No character has a stance like his in this game, or a stepdash, unless you count Doom. Hazama does have a stepdash doesn't he? I haven't played BB in a while.

Ehhhh, I felt that way before I got my hands on it.

Now that I've played a bunch of it I'm sure it was never going to appeal to a broad audience. I really don't think hitstun decay was the thing stopping casuals from getting into Marvel combos. I think on a fundamental level the causal player doesn't want to perform a combo that's more than maybe 5 inputs.

I do, however, think casuals want the movement to feel snappy and random moves to link into each other easily and the game fails at both of those things.

I agree with the other anon for the most part. It didn't need the Sony PC port fuckup to not live up to DBFZ. I like Tokon but I think it falls flat in a lot of ways where DBFZ really excelled. Call DBFZ a casual game if you want, it isn't exactly the hardest tag game out there, but Tokon has even more training wheels and casual concessions made for very obvious "we want the normie audience" reasons. But I think, just like 2XKO that did the same thing, none of these things (simple inputs, easy dial-a-combos, lots of "noob" protections, etc) are actually what keep casuals from playing these games en masse.

Meanwhile the dumbing down of the genre always rubs legacy players the wrong way. Even if they don't voice it or even immediately realize it, all of the limitations placed on the game greatly lower the skill ceiling and cap out the potential for it. Doesn't matter if you're a competitive player or a lab monster or just a guy who likes to practice fun stuff.
Take me as an example. There are still rejumps and crazy optimal sparking ToDs I can't consistently pull off in DBFZ to this day, I could boot that shit up and practice some insane Blue Goku instant transmission mix and corner loops all day. But I've basically already optimized the fuck out of Carnage and have little to do with him outside of getting my oki and blockstrings down and playing other people. There's not just not as much to do in this game for people like me.

I see what you're saying but I'm not sure if that is really relevant. If you take SF6 as an example. It is unquestionably the most popular fighting game maybe ever and the ceiling of that game is so pretty low, at least for "FGC" standards. You can learn everything you need about your one character in a couple days and the rest is all about leaning weird interactions you might face against other characters, work on your neutral and guessing

>>
>>577904175
SF6 is an interesting example to use because, despite the numerous criticisms I have of that game, it does actually onboard new/casual people extremely well. Modern controls are the simple input bullshit other games keep trying for but done well, and pretty much all power/complexity has been ripped out of characters for universally powerful system mechanics that are incredibly easy to understand. Plus it has the whacky woohoo avatars and shit for the super casuals that just want shit to do.

I mean there's a reason every game is copying SF6, loathe as I am to see that
>>
>>577904175
>>577904689
And to clarify, I don't think it's the casualization that holds games like Tokon back. It's the fact that it attempts to casualize itself in a thousand different ways, but then.. it's a tag game with active tag, ToDs, fucked up mixups, etc. Tokon and 2XKO can't commit to whether they want to be casual or hardcore and imo don't fully appeal to either audience because of that. SF6 clearly goes all in on appealing to casuals and it worked.

Is Magneto the lowest damage character in the game or is someone lower than him? This might not be the best reference point because I'm sure it's not optimal, but I was pretty surprised that this combo didn't break 30k even with 3 debris fields out, and it's a fairly difficult combo too with its rejump. I feel like anytime I'm watching a Magneto play they often only get damage in the 20000s too. It's still not so bad for being a resourceless combo off what seems like a pretty reliable overhead, but still, his damage seems very low to me.
>>
>>577906807
That seems average for 0 resources used. You're very hard limited damage wise in this game without spending resources due to how the combo meter works.

>>577910542
I feel like I see it often as a starter because the delay on it makes people think he's going to empty low. Same with Carnage's delayed j.H.
>>
Actually trying out the crack and the first thing I noticed is how fucking awful walkspeeds are across the board.
>>
>>577910682
Danger should have a high walkspeed.
>>
this game would be so much better as a 2v2 or 3v3 with multiple health bars and the combo meter replaced with hitstun decay and no active tag and jL overheads
>>
>>577910682
every marvel game has terrible walkspeed, thats why they would wave/plinkdash around the screen or constantly be in the air instead.
>>
>>577911117
It should have j.L overheads but none of the rest of that.
>>
>>577911403
active tag is gay as fuck man we can disagree on the rest but there's no way you like active tag. everyone has hated every single fuckin' game it has ever existed in before this we're not gonna pretend to like it now
>>
>>577911510
I haven't played other active tag games because they all had other reasons for disinteresting me but I've been fine with it in Tokon so far. It could loses its luster eventually, but right now it's hard to imagine its absence benefiting the game, it sounds like it would significantly lower the depth of the setups the game's offer while making the whole tag aspect of the game much more anemic and awkward, and it's already pretty awkward as is.
>>
>>577906807
>>577907245
idk anything about how magneto works but the big way to increase damage without spending resources is the reverse proration you get for doing as many distinct special moves in a combo as possible, and failing that avoiding filler normals and looping specials - using the same rules (corner jump overhead, no resource/assist/wallsplat) I was able to pull off
>starlord: 36300
>cap: 34130
>magik: 34060
>blade: 31380 (1 nail, better with more)
>loki: 24947

so some characters just have better combos then others for this kinda thing, but you can definitely hit over 30k fully meterless with the right character. the actual starter you use doesn't matter, it's just what move in the combo you're in/min scaling (it's not like a lot of other arcsys games where there's a "light starter" that automatically makes the damage suck way more, closer to classic guilty gear in this way)
>>
>>577911510
>>577911117
active tag is cool and literally the only reason to play bbtag. most of the games with it just happen to suck ass for unrelated reasons, but being able to use your teamates for things besides designated assist moves is very cool
>>
refund and crack holy shit
>>
>>577911636
>it sounds like it would significantly lower the depth of the setups the game's offer
it would but these two problems are linked. i would argue the setups in this game are lacking in depth because of active tag. because they want you to spend a clearly defined resource to mix. but i think that's a lost cause. look at goblin. he doesn't need active tag to mix. active tag just adds layers to characters than can mix, when giving characters stronger individual tools and minor changes like jL overheads would accomplish the same thing.

personally i see locking most mix behind active tag as one of those things modern games do in the vein of removing character power and shifting it to system mechanics, and i don't like that because it homogenizes the game. i think there's less depth and skill expression to be had in that. i mean look at tokon specifically. everyone's optimal offensive pressure (sans goblin) is ABC>special>assist>ABC>special>tag and that's not going to change unless the systems themselves change
>>
>>577911918
>because they want you to spend a clearly defined resource to mix.
then why did they give you multiple ways to do it for free? either assists outside of combo/blockstun or raw tagging to another character and then doing a special move as you tag out
>>
>>577912095
you're not getting mix on most characters in this game calling an assist in neutral. there's a tiny few characters with exceptions or super high blockstun assemble assists like hulk that might enable something but those are the exception not the rule
>>
>>577911918
I don't care for characters like Blade and Magik doing some high blockstun move into another character doing a high-low, but I don't know if the solution to that problem is the outright removal of active tag. I'd rather see individual character changes so that fewer characters have moves like that and, if they're going to have that kind of move, they should have more drawbacks elsewhere. Peni can do it with Pendulum Swing for example, but Peni has a lot of other weaknesses so her having that feels like a fair trade, unlike someone like Blade who is strong across the board. I'm pretty okay with characters having a weaker version of those concepts like Iron Man's missiles and Loki's 623X.

Even though I do dislike the kinds of setups Blade and Magik have into active tag, I still feel like it would only bring the game down to remove active tag altogether. If there's one thing I appreciate about the game, it's that unlike a lot of other new fighting games I tried in recent years, it feels like there's enough to play around with in the character's kits for labbing to be fun in its own right and to feel like there's plenty of room to grow with a character rather than having them figured out from the outset. A big part of that is because of how active tag lets you flesh out how a team works together, so its removal sounds like a negative. I think some of the ways characters can take advantage of the mechanic could use tuning, but my experience with it so far has had me less annoyed with active tag itself and more with how certain individual characters can utilize it.

>but I don't know if the solution to that problem is the outright removal of active tag
well yea of course. just removing active tag and doing nothing else would make the game a lot worse, i'll agree on that. to accomplish what i'm asking for there would need to be a lot of fundamental changes to the game alongside the active tag removal/change. too many to fit in the character limit of this post

i think ultimately what i'm arguing for is stronger character tools in general with less reliance on the baked in system mechanic interactions to do these things. i agree that the characters are unique and fun to lab, but in every way they're held back by these system mechanics limiting and homogenizing what they're capable of imo

So after watching Tokon in CEO, I felt bored a lot of the time watching the games including Top 8. I know it's early in this games lifespan but even 2XKO looked more saucey/fleshed out early on. Yes Tokon has "mix" or what not, but the "mix" usually comes from canned high/lows from individual characters who have those or the same "Do a long blockstun move on point and tag out, so your other character does a high/low mix"; it feels like the skill ceiling is WAY lower in this game than 2XKO (doesnt help that Tokon has UNFATHOMABLY long cross up protection)

Also the fact that assists have barely any cooldown makes neutral look like a visual mess with barely any nuance to it.
The combos in Tokon also feel samey from character to character: ABC -> launcher -> ABC -> ABC auto knockdown -> assist -> ABC EX extension or into wallbreak, or into combo limit/oki that also looks always the same. Every character in 2XKO has their own way of combo routes and they all vary by a lot. Yes on Twitter there are better combos out, but they usually only happen in the corner and when there is a wall with no wallbreaks, and even then those combos kinda pale to 2XKOs creativity in combos.

Also the defensive mechanics in this game are REALLY boring, either a bad reaction check that is in most cases worse for the defender, or a broken parry that eliminates high/low/left/right mixups all. It makes defense in this game way too one dimensional/boring imo, compare that to 2XKOs pusblock, retreating guard and individual high/low parries. Defense is WAY more interesting in that game.

I sound like a 2XKO shill right now, and trust me I am not, I have my problems with that game aswell, but what I can confidently say is that 2XKO does a better job at representing the tag fighter power fantasy while still keeping the nuance and creativity of a nuanced fighting game and that makes it way more enjoyable to watch and play

It's ridiculous that nearly every "mixup" can be reacted to or fuzzy guarded. Even in CEO the best people could do was assist, long normal, tag, and then an IAD into jM or empty low. It's not a good state of affairs when the superior way to mix people up is flooding the screen with characters and making them guess if you're going to tag to the opposite side.

I've heard other games removing drm though, Sony can do that right?

>>I sound like a 2XKO shill right now, and trust me I am not
I don't trust you, I genuinely think you are a 2XKO shill because you tried to praise it's defensive mechanics when it has useless pushblock, useless retreating guard and extremely broken parry. Tokon's defensive tools are genuinely better balanced and thought out.

You could have whispers with the audio turned up, but prematch dialog or talking during the match wouldn't work for the character. Black Bolt cool but his most defining character trait is being silently stoic.

>>577951436
You are a literal brainlet who can't parse defensive tools without equating them to defensive tools in other games. Yes, if you attempt to use cross-over like you would use metered guard cancel mechanic in other games, you will eat shit, that's not it's usecase. It's safe on block, meaning it's risk-free if they use all their pips, meaning it enforces resource management, because if you blow all your pips in a combo you don't get pressure afterwards, and if you over-extend during your pressure you have a very high chance of getting knocked down.
Secondly, you only eat shit if they are close to you. The perfect counter does literally nothing if you are not in it's range. We saw this play out in grand finals several times. Every time SonicFox did Goblin 5U to mount the glider during pressure, Supernoon cross-overed, and even though SonicFox perfect-countered it, the game reset to neutral instead so SonicFox couldn't continue to pressure by burning an assist call. But even if they know the perfect counter won't do anything, they have to do it to avoid taking the knockdown, so you force them to burn a pip. This also applies to any zoning, as a zoner you have to pass the reaction check just to avoid the knockdown whenever the opponent blocks any of your projectiles and even if you do, the exchange will reset to neutral with both players being down a pip.
Thirdly, sometimes being deassembled is worth it because the knockdown from being countered is only a soft knockdown, so if you are dealing with some oki monster's post-super setup, it might be preferable to reset to a soft knockdown. If the mix will kill you, you might as well.
And that's the "bad" reaction check.

The DRM on the game is the Sony SDK and EAC.

If the problem were JIT decryption then the crack fixing issues would entail a static decryption of all the game files. The crack is a single exe and a steam emu.

to add onto that 3rd point, you get all of your assemble gauge back once you're done with the disassembled phase so if you're against a character with less oppressive solo mix then you can be more confident in that resource trade and you'll be up assemble gauge on your opponent once you return to neutral

That's absolutely and not remotely in the same league.

If anything, Ghost Rider has an instant overhead with his j.2H, that one is really OP and a true 50/50 you cannot react to when they tag into him while leaving your other character doing a rekka.

How many normals does it take you to hitconfirm typically? I labbed out some sequences that go into a pretty good combo on hit or an active tag mix on block. I need to confirm into one thing or another by the second normal and it's not working out for me consistently at all.

>>577943463
People will shit on you for how you worded this, comparing it to 2XKO, but I think you're 100% right. And I get why you would compare it to 2XKO specifically because they share a somewhat similar design philosophy that I've talked about here (clearly trying to appeal to normies/casuals while retaining the spirit of a grimy tag fighter).

I don't think assist clutter is really that bad, but holy shit when someone crossovers and someone else reflects it, every single character is on the screen at once within 10 pixels and it's close to fucking impossible to distinguish them from each other it is ACTUAL visual aids cancer shit.

I have a lot of problems with 2XKO too and haven't played it since it first "released" out of alpha lab, so who knows how outdated my impressions of it are really, but what I liked most about that game was that you really could freeflow do your mix and combos. Every single character had extremely unique combo routes and could mix you in various ways.
In Tokon? ....eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh. There are some unique combo routes when you get into the optimals, but especially in the corner lots of them still follow the same routing just because of how the combo meter works.
>>
>change the matchmaking settings to my region only

is this a bug or something?
>>
>>577967712
yeah and you can fuzzy spidey overhead/ex slide, and 2H all his web zips if he doesn't cover them with assist, and yet people get hit by that shit anyway because they're not robots
>>
>>577971470
>yeah and you can fuzzy spidey overhead/ex slide
oh fuck off with this already nigger there's a huge difference between the two and you know it
>>
>>577971408
Yes
This happens in SF6 too, althought to a lesser extent. Something about having to many options to match at the same times fucks things up and they can't connect
>>
also i've started running carnage on assault to try him out and he's honestly super strong. the pull in is super nice
>>
>>577970004
>but especially in the corner lots of them still follow the same routing just because of how the combo meter works.
the combo meter does the exact opposite and requires you to think very hard to minmax. instead of learning 1-2 BNB's based on what starter you have effecting hitstun decay, instead it's all about squeezing in as many distinct specials as possible while avoiding as many air normals as possible, which every character is going to approach differently. if I spend too many hits at the start trying to confirm my combo, I might end up in a situation where I can't go into my optimal loop because I need X hits left in the combo counter to end on the good knockdown, but then maybe I can spend resource to lower my hitcount and pull off something similar with an otherwise very different combo
it enables a ton of on the fly and situation specific routing that I haven't seen in an arcsys game since fucking xrd sign where everyone had a bunch of character specific routing due to weight classes and then not giving most characters "automatically space them properly for me" combo extenders in that first version of the game.

every game with gatlings/magic series has a baby universal combo 95% of the cast can do, this game also having that doesn't matter.
>>
>>577971470
I don't know if you actually can fuzzy spiderman since you have a pretty big window to cancel into the slide, without a frame bar like SF6's I don't think I can prove it but I'm pretty sure you can at least make the timing too varied for anything but a robot to be able to realistically cover them all.
>>
>>577972594
don't you need to be a robot in order to time slide so that it hits on almost the same frame as the overhead in the first place? seems like "hey you can fuzzy if they mash it out" is the thing to go for and then if they're a god you adjust from there
>>
>>577972293
>the combo meter does the exact opposite
Completely disagree
> instead of learning 1-2 BNB's based on what starter you have effecting hitstun decay, instead it's all about squeezing in as many distinct specials as possible while avoiding as many air normals as possible
I think if it were JUST the proration it would work this way but the combo meter defeats the purpose of this entirely. Because of how strict it is you end up jamming as many Hs and EXs in as possible, and I find mashing 5H EX 5H M special 5H EX 5H special assist 5H far less intriguing than working around hitstun decay and doing whatever I want in a combo. I've never once cared about same-move proration in my combos, whereas on the flipside I do care about my combo limit and what EX move I can use next or when I can use an assist to extend said limit
>>
>hook playing 12+ hours straight of this game
wish i could do that
>>
>>577973238
>I've never once cared about same-move proration in my combos
because you don't care about doing optimal combos, which is fine but why act belligerent about how you don't find doing suboptimal loops that cost you damage and meter for no reason, but also refuse to optimize?
>working around hitstun decay and doing whatever I want in a combo.
I can't tell if you're saying you actually keep track of hitstun decay in real time, or if you're just a lab monster
>>
>>577973475
>because you don't care about doing optimal combos
Extremely disingenuous I'm probably way more of a lab monster than you are and I diligently follow fenritti and sit in lab for hours a day practicing my shit. I'm not doing same move/same special loops on my character as it's not necessary, my character's (Carnage) combo routing in general avoids these in the first place so it's moot
>I can't tell if you're saying you actually keep track of hitstun decay
No of course not, but in other games it's incredibly easy to experiment with routing and see where things start to drop because the hitstun decay has deteriorated to a point where X or Y thing no longer works because they pop out, so you adapt. There's no such experimentation in Tokon, you just fill in the gaps of the already set combo structure with more optimal usage of your normals/specials to squeeze out the most damage. Because of the combo meter it's much more rigid in structure and there's generally less of a "ok how far can I PUSH this" and more of a feeling of "ok what do I do instead to get 10% more damage" which caps out the potential for what you're doing in these routes much earlier

Actually older CPU's tend to do better because they have better single-threaded performance and big caches

>>577981683
People keep insisting that if you matchmake same region only it fixes it, but I tried it and it doesn't do anything. It's placebo. It just werks for some people and doesn't others, just like the PC port in general pre-patch (and post-patch too, apparently)

i've pretty much never had an issue with matchmaking outside of when i set it to worldwide, even at like 5 am EST i'm finding ranked matches on us east in like 30 seconds. maybe its because i'm only silver though

I barely had any issue with those, even with wired with 3 lines, it's like 100 ms at worst, I feel like you live in the 2010s still

Grab the crack and hit parsec!

Is 41k for a 1 assist 25 meter combo good enough or should I try to get more damage for those resources? It wall breaks/slumps if that makes a difference.

Wow Sajam is a fucking tier whore wtf is his team? He doesn't even play competitively.

So what's the AI exploit for level 5 Champion? He input-reads like a motherfucker.

Besides the combo being cool and her flying across the screen with wind, there's nothing scary about the clip
Much fairer than Spiderman who everyone in this thread is slurping down. Honestly they feel like they want to sabotage Tokon lol

>start seriously labbing out magik, the other character I was gonna play instead of cap cuz they both have nice big DP assists
>under same conditions she also has a coast to coast combo, only hers does 5k more damage (and obv way more if I dump darkchild max meter shit)
america bros... we lost to russia after all......

Does autocombos have autocombos only type combos? Like in dbfz the only way to get the move where trunks dashes through his opponent with his sword like in the movie you had to do the auto combo.
>>
>>577985365
In the air autocombos will height-correct which is extremely useful
>>
>>577985468
does the combo bar increase more from doing air auto combos? because the air combos in this game feel awful to do compared to dbfz and drop on me randomly
>>
>>577985654
when you do actual grounded LLL MMM or HHH they drastically increase combo bar but just doing jH jH to magnetize to your opponent doesn't
>>
>>577982708
Pl0x respond
>>
Idk y but iron man’s beam super seems like it does more damage in a combo than other characters super during a combo

Yeah because the same person posting marketing material on twitter is also responsible for fixing the game.
Oh wait it's ArcSys, it probably is the same person, my apologies.

They have to fix the game to make it survive. Then yes it can slowly heal. But good luck doing the 1st.

You think the radio silence on the issues for the game is because Sony higher ups are debating to remove the drm from the game? I can't see them attempting another bandaid patch for all the games problems for a 3rd time. Huffing military grade copium of course but what can you do.
>>
>>577988172
i think they did it for helldivers 2 and also optimized that game heavily, so probably if people keep dropping the game they'll do something

>>577985365
Yes there's one auto-combo exclusive attack that you only get from double medium or double heavy, I don't think it's something you want outside of specific setups though since it eats a huge chunk of the combo bar. People in CEO were using it to forcibly end combos in hard knockdowns for oki setups instead of running the combo bar out normally.
>>

Here's your performance comparison
>>
>>577988172
It could just be Arcsys behaving as usual, I don't think they said shit about wild rush for almost all of its existence in Strive (outside of when they changed the versions specific characters had) until season 2 dropped and they admitted they'd hated it all along. They probably won't say shit until/unless they patch again.

Isn't 5LL also unique?

>>
>>577990084
You can cancel after 5LL into M and H buttons so plenty of people will use it to get extra time to hitconfirm their mashing.
>>
They should exclude 5LL from the gatling limit and make the limit start after the next normal just so the autocombo has more merit to using it.
>>
