how would i put it when you fight somene who likes to block to much stuns them

TarkanX · 12-03-2002, 03:36 PM

block meter is like in Street Fighter Alpha. But that would be terrible to have, that'd be easy wins, someone could just low punch someone else to death because of guard break.

I couldnt agree more. the supers on this game are way more powerful than the one in street fighter alpha.(or it look as if)
Doing one super will instantly break their guard. But a block meter isnt really needed since specials do an efficiant amount of damage when blocking as well as supers.

your right damn but it would be fun though

since no one gave a complete answer to the question !

BLOCK METER, aka GUARD GAUGE, aka GUARD BREAK METER

what is it...
in STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3, you cannot block indefinetely.
after a while of getting hit (when your METER gets to ZERO)
your character go into a GUARD CRUSHED MODE, meaning
that your character was stunned from all the hit you blocked.
once in that state, your opponent gets a free hit !

now think of what can happen if that thing was in !
i mean those things...
- the low punch thing, like TARKANX said !
- no GUARD BREAK MOVES in this game. (thou this would be nicer then GUARD GAUGE)
- against COMPUTER, i like the idea. against someone, thats what i hate the most !
- not usefull cause of the supers ! (your about to die and the opponent does his shinkuu, then you blobk it thiking i will survive, but your GUARD gets CRUSHED and you get killed cause of it)

for all those reasons, i think this wouldn't be a great idea, plus i hate the thing in SFA3, it just left out the turtling option which is the real only skill people have to survive that long cause of the lag !

overall, not so bad as an idea, but not thou good either, not in this online game anyway !

darkmasterX · 12-03-2002, 05:08 PM

compelling argument

DX Zero · 12-03-2002, 05:55 PM

i dont think it is totally useless, what about cheese damage, we can get rid of it (with regular moves), and add guard block...

SSJKarma · 12-03-2002, 09:02 PM

DX: Explain ?

i know it isn't useless for somethings in the game.
but i do think TURTLING (the art of CROUCH BLOCKING) is the only REAL defense we have against LAG in the fight ! if TMY implements the GUARD GAUGE, then this simple DEFENSE will vanish. so we'll have to rely on SUPER JUMPS but then again, TMYAPP putted a JUMP LOCK long ago. meaning we cannot use it all the time either !

i ask this, what's left to defend ourself in the fights ?
