Does anyone know what kind of netcode he's using? I'm at the point of "no rollback, no sale".

You'd have to have some brass to be like, "Being and Nothingness? Bitch please, I wrote [insert generic pop sonog here]".

I'm just hoping their "major improvements to online" means better netcode and not something like a better UI. I'd drop $20 for literally no changes other than rollback. Xrd right now is basically that game I want to play and can't since living in a fly-over state basically means that I am...

It looks like the game is finally launching its crowd funding. Wish they had done it on something like IGG or KS, but well, oh well I guess. Here is a video describing system mechanics. It actually sound really interesting. Anyone know what kind of netcode they are hoping to have? That will...

I can answer some questions if you post here. But to answer your question, some links worth checking out are: Tru3ta1ent Not sure how high level he is (he is considered high level by plenty). This is mostly matches and commentary. Rooflemonger This is the closest to a lab monster I've found...

It depends on what you play. Duels and to a slightly lesser extent 2v2 are arguably enhanced by p2p. The 4v4 maps however are definitely degraded by it. Bad matches (for me) have made up a noticeable minority of matches, but it is infuriating when it happens. I'm more curious who it will...

@Mr Peck Thanks for updating. That's a bummer. I actually agree that they are "viable", but it depends on what "viable' means. Can they win? Absolutely. They might even make a solid though rare counter pick. You have to play against solos differently, and that can almost certainly take...

Yes, SonicFox beat Sage with a solo in 2016 CEO. That was 8 months ago. One instance is hardly the smoking gun you think it is. And though I don't doubt that there are others, they make up a fraction. Meanwhile, there is 4 years of tournaments the vast majority of which don't have a top 8...

And when arguably the best FG'er in the genre starts opting to go solo in top 8s vs the Eldas and the Sages ofo the world, you'll be able to rub my nose in it.

Yeah it means for the most part that they aren't viable at high levels. The gap is close enough to play them (and with this change maybe it is even closer), and even occasionally win. But let's face it, the people with the greatest incentive to continue doing well in this game consistently...

I agree. They have such a strong showing in all SG majors... I wasn't being rude so much as I was indirectly evaluating your video. I agree with your assessment that stacking full undizzy on a solo is now even a worse idea, but if anything that just makes it more clear to people that they...

Who in god's name are you playing such that they pull a full combo on you at that high of life? That was best case scenario before, and now it is doubly so.

Got some rounds in tonight, and the system wide changes affect solo almost 0%. For the most part, the game feels same-ish to me as a solo player both while hitting and getting hit. So I think I'm going to bow out and let teams duke it out.

If combos aren't already scaled, there are plenty of low or no UD reset opportunities. Anecdote: two nights ago I fought a Squigly that did huge amounts of damage to me and my UD didn't move an inch. A pretty big chunk of combo damage comes from Stage 1 and Stage 2 which have 0 affect on UD...

I'd like to add that regardless of how this change pans out, "this hits my playstyle hard" is hardly a decent argument. Most of us have gone through some pretty serious changes on both our characteres and the system. Anyone remember the shortening of combos effectively nerfing Severin? Anyone...

I agree that it would be a buff to solos. But, unless these changes were to push solos past teams in terms of viability, there is no real reason to fret unless there is some deep seeded philosophy that solos necessarily should be weaker than teams. I won't speak to how this will affect duos...

That would be if you were only to reset at >240 dizzy. You can reset before that point without having to worry about stage 5. Minimum scaling at 240+ sounds more harsh to me than level 5. Does anyone have damage numbers for a full minimum scaled combo?

I should note that I have a bias toward solos and putting the game back to the neutral which may be anathema to SGs design: This might be too harsh though, but it would be fun to try out. It doesn't at all eliminate the reset game, but it does basically mean the end of the full combo into...

I just checked on a few characters (Squig and MF for sure). You can do the 5hk(2 hits), throw on them if you slightly delay the throw. You can't do it on heavies at all. For other 5hk resets (and I am just getting back into the swing of things, so test everything out yourself), you can 5hk(3)...

Is that new? What changed? I really should go through and read the patch notes for the last year or so...
