He breaks you > you take damage. Where is the unified field theory here…?!
Do you really think it logical and “hardcore” to be immune to damage when arguably at your most vulnerable – while being countered mid combo?! C’mon… I know today’s kiddies are all reared on DBZ, Naruto and Sponge Bob, but surely some semblance of electrolytic process still occurs in their noggins… no? =/
“Visual point of view isn’t the only perspective to consider”
Not the only thing. But KI has always been 95% style and 5% substance.
He shouldn’t be getting damage for a mistake he made. The reward from the combo breaker should be he escapes without taking 50-60% damage. Giving damage for breakers ultimately can turn the combo system into something pointless, basically rewarding carelessness in the neutral, and lucky guesses in the combo game. So basically, you’re promoting something that makes it where people who don’t think come out on top? Because their basically getting free damage for making a mistake. Sounds like pretty bad ideas to me.
Also, dude, why all the insults? I didn’t attack you personally, but you seem to have a problem when people second guess you.
Finally, the old KI systems were 50% chance based on kick linkers or punch linkers. The new system is 33% chance based on strength match to the move break. It sounds like the old system took a lot less skill to master than the new one in place.
1. You get nothin’, pal. You either break and escape a combo (often into a virtual reset) -or- you miss (most likely) and you eat more potato mash. 2. "MUH OVERPOWERED TYRANNIES IS GONNA TAKE MUH GRUNZ!! 1776…!! " 3. No. Select General RAAM from the character select screen > enter Training Mode > do his ‘shank’ special opener > press light-punch > do another shank > now press light-kick. Report back when tested. I await your analysis, doctorb. 4. Why should it be generic copy pasta? Is the game freeware? Are we paid to play it…? 5. KI is “budget”? The same KI on M$'s flagship console hardware and PC O.S.?.. da fug?! 6. “Like” – yes… but better, more diverse, utilising more cinematic effects etc. 7. Mind-reading aside, if the finishers are being bypassed, why do they exist? Should they not have purpose (beyond trolling online), Mr. Anderson? 8. “Budget” is insulting to the company Bill Gates built. Stop being insulting… or no malaria cure for you! 9. I can “do without” nothing. I can do with CB’s that aren’t autist-friendly. 10. Online will remain unaffected, as would anyone who does not want to use a speed modifier. How? SPOILER …(whispers it would be an option, toggle-able and filter-able). 11. Something’s already very “unbalanced” regarding this game… and it’s nothing to do with the game itself… 12. Cup the balls?.. work the shaft…? 13. I have it for XB1, not PC.
Nothing “needs” nothing. But… if you want to improve a product, you have to at least endeavour to do so; and not just accept everything as set in stone or some kind of universally understood, paradigm of perfection.
Imagine RAAM had a ‘back-break’ command throw, where he grabbed and opponent and broken 'em across his knee… Or an anti-air grab that reaches up with an arm, plucking a pouncing pismire out of the air and impaling them on his knife…
I asked you to clarify what you meant which basically meant I didn’t understand what you said. Responding by saying I didn’t understand, aggressively pointing out the obvious is not something anyone with logical concerns would do.
On reflection and reading your responses, you’re just looking to incite people here. And I’ll be reporting you for that.
The game has received nary a substantive gameplay improvement since release. All that its spawned are piecemeal character drip-feeding and superficialities. Given this course, we can expect to be playing Zelda vs. Sackboy in KI SE37 c.2050, still without a single gameplay refinement being made.
I myself have supported the game for two iterations. But, if all I have to look forward to in the future are more mascot cameos littering the roster and the version of the game I have becoming increasingly inferior by default (‘Scorpion’), then why stick around?
More importantly (given my money has already been banked), why should anyone jump on board the KI normie train? Why should SF and Tekken and DoA and KoF and BB and GG et al. players give I a look in…?
