Of the course Kimberly player masquerading as a cammy player fishing for a hit confirm into CA would say that.
once the cast is better it'll be even better. I love XRD and think its the goat fg but even its some fundamental things in that game where I'm like this is fukking stupid.
A-fukkin-Men!@CarltonJunior @Aveda To your points about offense.
The bulk of the blame for this past gens shift to heavily offense based games is placed on the devs but not nearly enough credit is given to the players, notably Sonicfox. Sonic Steph Curry'd the fgc and it's clear that nikkas missed the shift. And there are more factors than Sonic, but he's a good catalyst for my point
When you look at Sonic's hot run from 2015 to around 2018 and how he dominated certain games you'll see how much the fgc changed. Sonic's strength was always a strong, overwhelming offense, and he was beating nikkas SO bad that it forced nikkas to change the way they played fgs. You're either fighting or you're blocking, and blocking in most cases is essentially waiting to die
They say defense wins championships, but the best defense is a developed offense. You wanna run up the score on nikkas so bad that overcoming the mountain you placed in front of them looks hopeless. That CVS2, hold down back and think about what your opponent is gonna do shyt is dead. You're either pressing your offense or waiting your turn. And anyone that's watched Mayweather match has seen what waiting your turn gets you
The fact of the matter is when it comes to these devs they've actually been trying in recent years to increase the amount of defensive options in these games but the issue, begrudgingly as it is for some of you to admit, is fg players are smarter than they've ever been and get smarter by the year. SF6 has been out for only a month and has had a years worth of refinement in that time. How many old school fgs looked this refined after just a month? Social media and better, more universal training methods have made nikkas smarter more rapidly than ever before. That's one of the unsaid reasons why so many nikkas hated SF5 because now you're in an era where a random nikka off the street knows his frame data, optimal punishes and oki when that type of knowledge was only supposed to be for the elites. Well it's for everybody now
So the longing for "defense" is a pipe dream at best because believe or not the devs really are trying to help, but nikkas gonna find ways to get their setplay offlet's not forget Capcom put v shift in SF5 SOLEY because of what Idom was doing to nikkas.
And that's not hyperbole, Idom literally forced them nikkas to create a new mechanic just to let nikkas breathe
Nikkas best bet for the old type of defense they're looking for is gonna be in the old games, and that's only if new nikkas ain't got a hold of them because honestly any of these games are susceptible to today's style of play if nikkas really wanted to play older games like that
Fight me.
Sonic also dominated MVCI, but that's besides the point. The point is he changed the way fgs are played because his dominance forced players to adapt and fight back
KI may be the most mentally engaging fighting game ever made. KI is the reason I think Drive Impact is actually a fantastic mechanic 
No penalty? It's only been a month and raw drive rush ain't even an effective tactic anymore
It definitely did breh. Players influence these devs all the time. There's a reason I brought up Idom being the reason V Shift was created.
Meter penalty. I wasn't clear.
It still cost meter just to do it and depending on how is countered, it could cost even more meter.
