Yes and yes. Both these things will happen in offline tournaments. I personally can't hear shit, because I wear noise cancelling headphones when I play in tournament, but in casuals I've heard people trying to mash something out and was able to bait it. And I know people who hit the dead buttons to make you think they're mashing something when they actually aren't.
not entirely sure what you mean by this. if they wiff, yes you can hit them if you time and angle your attack correctly. if you are blocking you can alpha counter for 1 bar (if you have a team), if you are getting hit you can only burst if they activate undizzy or IPS.
depends on the character. some characters have DPs, everyone has supers. yes there is a wakeup game.
yes there are, but not all characters have them/good ones.
depends on your character, your opponents character and how your opponent is playing.
play whoever you want, you can probably find some good chemisty between all the characters if you look
ummm.. donno.
its not made by an established company and it has had all sorts of issues with its release and updates.
the core characters i would say are filia, cerebella and peacock, but even then not really as strong as sf or bb. you are not screwing yourself for learning other characters, play who you want, everyone is viable.
i first started right as the game came out so not sure this applies. but what i tell everyone who touches the game "play through the tutorials. they start out super basic but end up covering a lot of good stuff"
fun fact. if you can put your enemy in a stagger state (cere s.mp or fortunes head roll, etc) you can grab them!
Instead of thinking that way, you think about how you can improve and look at just small elements of what you are doing wrong, picking away at them a bad habit or un-evolved skill at a time. When you know what you are trying to change, its easy to see the results, even if you aren't necessarily winning games any more than you used to.
Honestly Fortune/Fillia/Double is probably slightly, ever so slightly better overall because its team top 3 characters in the game. With Parasoul there though, the team is a bit easier to play and you can get away with a lot of reversals because of Bikes.
I'd assume we'll get rid of it when the game's complete / if we move on to the next game, since at that point no reason to have a beta, but who knows when THAT is. (^.^)
In the majority of situations you want to push late, the last hit of a safe string to give your self some room.
