Good games rabbitbox, gotta go for a moment but you're probably better off playing someone who's actually competent at this game anyway.

>>3937574
Good games as usual, Saje. I've gotta admit, it confused the fuck out of me when I was facing the right way for my 5A, but then when I did my 6A, Alice turned the other direction and whiffed it. I mean, how does that even happen? Also, I noticed that we're both still really bad at doing 2B -> j9 -> j.2B -> 3D -> j.5A with Tenshi.

Your Marisa aircombos are annoying, because you always seem to land them whenever we do an air-to-air exchange! It's almost enough to make a guy want to stop jumping, ya know?

>>3937724
Good games Tenma! I quite enjoyed our Youmu/Sakuya matches, as you were pretty sharp on defending against corner pressure. I think this is the first time we've played together so I wanted to see how you handled each of the characters.

>>3937574
GGs, Guy. So many wtf moment during those games. Somehow, I activated Scarlet Weather Rhapsody when I only had 3 cards? Guess I got the fourth without realizing it, we were in the -1 card cost weather, and I thought I had the dragon punch card selected. Definitely wasn't my intent there. The time I autoblocked 9 attacks with a single Iku 623B to STILL lose out on the exchange? Makes you wonder what the point of it is, heh. I swear to God, one of these days my Marisa will properly land a Final Spark. Think I went a little teleport happy with Komachi there for a match. Was just having so much fun recornering you without doing anything. T'was fun as always, Guy.

>>3937861
>Makes you wonder what the point of it is
You caught me like forty times with it. That's as many as four tens, Saje. And that's terrible. But yeah, it's pathetic how poorly I do with Meiling when I don't have her flying kick. It feels like even my basics fall apart when that kick isn't there to give me some sort of comfort.

>>3937854
Actually we have played before (I usually go by Kyle Hyde), though it was some time ago. I just can't seem to make any sort of improvement in this game.

GGs.

This would be so much easier if the game allowed turning around in air faster. 5B and 6A whiffed so often because you were too near or slightly under me or something.

Patchouli sure has some unfair spellcards. Royal Flare in typhoon? Hell, I couldn't graze through this spellcard even if my spirit orbs were full.

But really, do you do a single move which isn't either a fireball, 5A or a preparation for a fireball? Jumping and shooting down a fireball is one thing, but jumping and shooting down fireballs until your bar is depleted is...

>>3941186
GGs. I really have to figure out what to do with alice when the opponent jumps back and shoots, or just get better at noticing when I can graze and punish and when I should just dodge.

>>3941186
GGs 6A. Most matches were pretty fun. I should have switched a little earlier, now I have to go.

>>3941635
>5A
means 5C

>>3941299 here
I'm glad that you, AoA still playing this, on top of that with the same decks as before. It took some time for me get used to play as I did before, though coughing out my lung doesn't help one of a bit. Still, forgetting ones own style play-style is not something easy, thank god

It was fun, I won't ever make a deck with Patchy where even one of the fireball skillcards are missing. If you excuse me, I'll go and try to become a better opponent. Those Royal Flares are still great pressure materials unused...

>>3941639
You don't whiff 6a that much anyway. It threw me off how you grazed my Cs in the air and punished by grazing into me. I'm sure that doesn't work with B bullets.

>>3941635
>jumping and shooting down fireballs until your bar is depleted is...

...is awesome! You are the only opponent who I am playing against with this style by the way, you can't complain about you being repetitive either

Any EU hosts still here?

>>3941671
It's still annoying that, if you we both on the ground and you press 5C and I graze attack 66BC, it's a double hit.
Or when I j8A while you do 236BC. Fireball counterhits are not fun.
My j2A inputs still won't work, but in the 2-3 cased it did, it worked wonders. It's like "if I don't even expect it myself, how can my opponent expect that move".
For fighting you, Iku's scarf and Disorder Eye are nearly useless. They're for more melee based characters, so the scarfs were used for the potions.

96.21.244.114:10800, East Coast
A west coast is fine too.
"You're pretty good" + hand gesture tier.

Trying out different chars.

>you can't complain about you being repetitive either
This game has only so many moves, and since I can't safely input 421 and 623 anyway, there isn't much left. Nearly everything starts with a 5B hit, since that's the sagest method I know.

>Patchouli sure has some unfair spellcards. Royal Flare in typhoon? Hell, I couldn't graze through this spellcard even if my spirit orbs were full.

If typhoon is up and patchouli has flare ready, do not fucking fly. Stay on the ground no matter what. That way you can just graze it forward for a tiny amount of spirit.

If you try to fly through it, you will die fast.

>>3941635

Fireball is one of Patchy's best moves. You can't fault a guy for exploiting the shit out of it

Remember, try to engage Patchy in an air game. Her 5C bullets can be penetrated without too much trouble, so as long as you have a fairly quick aerial bullet that you can dash cancel out of, you can punch through her danmaku without too much trouble. Just don't approach her from a directly horizontal angle (relative to Patchy, that is), otherwise her 6C'll getcha

>>3941719
>Just don't approach her from ANY angle, otherwise her 5C'll getcha

fixed

>>3941719
>Her 5C bullets can be penetrated without too much trouble, so as long as you have a fairly quick aerial bullet that you can dash cancel out of, you can punch through her danmaku without too much trouble. Just don't approach her from a directly horizontal angle (relative to Patchy, that is), otherwise her 6C'll getcha

That's why I'm using j.4B or 6A if I'm approaching from the air within close range. Otherwise 6C is a safe and fast move from far away, in corners j.2A, j.2C, j.236B/C does wonders against the opponent. They don't usually expect 3 hits in a row and the damage is also outrageous if the fireball is at MAX LEVEL. Hell, the damage is also unbearably high if the opponent blocks it

>>3941339
rehosting

>>3941735

It is not that difficult to get around Patchy's 5C. Seriously, even most character's 5B will get some danmaku through the fireballs, and they most slow enough to where you can easily dash cancel out and graze the fireballs, depending on your character. I speak from the perspective of Alice and Remilia here. I dunno who you're using, but I find it easily doable with those characters

>>3942162
Fack, another asskicking.

Man, this is my 4th time going online, all against 'shit tier/scrub tier' etc, and I always get my ass kicked. I know I need practice to improve, and the cpu's can only get me so far, but man, it's hard to find people of my skill level to play. I play tons of fighting games so I naturally want to play this, but getting beatdown over and over again is so discouraging.

Also, my stick setup seems awkward, how do most of you guys do it? I have it as ABC all in a row, D under A, and then switch/use cards as the far right buttons. I think I might switch to a controller for this one.

Also, I noticed you didn't use much other than spellcards, is that recommended?

And finally I want to main Sakuya, any tips on her from what you saw? I like China too, but she seems gimp with the lack of projectiles. Anyone feel free to answer, I would like to learn.

>>3942352
Yeah, it crashed, I thought it was you d/cing at first from being sick of kicking my ass.

>>3942354
I use an xbox 360 controller myself but sometimes it some times gives me trouble when i try to log block swiching from guarding to not at all which makes me a sad man.

also with the spell cards only thing i just manly don't use remi's and suika's alts cause i find them gimmicky somewhat althou i might rethink suika's deck but i like having 1-2 alts and bombs +spells in mine.

also for Sakuya i can't say i have much match up exp but one thing you were doing was hanging back a little to much I think while she seems to be a good midscreen/close range character.

but agian gg's

>>3942354
I use the keyboard, since I don't really have a good controller.

Use whatever you want to use - skillcards activate the skill now so they can be as good as or better than spellcards at times. As for sakuya, yeah, her spellcards are generally pretty good.

learn how to use the knives bouncing off the walls to catch your opponent off guard, then learn how to take advantage of every knife that hits. That, and figure out your teleports, then you can have knives bouncing from both sides while you go into a block string in the middle.

Use your spellcards wisely - I'm pretty sure dashing B combos into most of her spellcards pretty well.

>>3942231

Teleports are useful for her combos eh?

I was fancying the melee counter, but I could probably try to work the ports in.

Well you kicked my ass I bet. I just know I don't fancy playing anything other than those right now. I must have been raring to go or something.

>>3941703

>>3942605
It usually work, same as 2626/2424, but have like 10-15% fall rate and that's too much for me. 6626 work 100% tho.

Anyways Yukari seem like unpolished char for me. All her B and C projectiles look the same, her 236/214 are rather bad, most of her spellcards are medicore and almost all alt moves suck.

Strongest youkai in Gensokyo should get much better treatment.

>>3942658

Good games, I would have played longer but I think I actually need to stop procrastinating now. Or at least try to stop procrastinating..

>>3942669
Yeah, I was kinda taking it easy.
After the first match, I usually downgrade and stop trying if the other person is clearly struggling. I figure it's probably more fun for them than a thorough beatdown.

Also GGs Guardian. Might want to stop jumping on wakeup.

>>3942853

You mean right after I get off the ground, right? Thanks, never thought of that. I'm trying to find out different ways to get better, since I've been in a huge slump lately.

>>3942705
Yukari is very good. Her 66C is among the best in the game, her melee range, while not being iku-ish, is still pretty good, her C projectiles are dense as fuck and pretty damn quick, her B covers a wide area, 2b sinking her into the ground is very useful, she can laser you pretty much everywhere, etc.

Her default 236 looks kinda lacking, but it's mostly to be used in combos I believe. I myself use her laser square alt for that ever so wacky 236B hj9 j.2a j.412B combo, but it's a matter of preference. Her spellcards are also all very strong, allowing her to chain pressure with ran and chen on blocked specials, and with her 623C combined, actually adds up to a lot of chip damage and continuous pressure.

She's a bag of tricks, you gotta know how to use them or else they'll all seem useless.

>>3942867
Yeah, see, when you jump, you're vulnerable for a split second. and in the air, you can't block ground attacks period. So if you jump just as you get up, any melee hit that has some sort of vertical range will slap you. Tenshi is especially good at this, you no doubt noticed her 66C, 3A and 2B all caught you again and again when you kept trying to jump.

You're actually not bad at all, but you have a few very crippling bad habits that you need to break, this being one of them. I'd start with that: Unless it's absolutely obvious you have plenty of time to get away, you should block when you get up and the other guy is near you.

Or, since you're playing Marisa, use her 623B. It has invincibility, so it'll beat any melee they do to catch you. After a few hits, they should get hesitant to try to hit you on wakeup.

Also, since you're using her 214 alt broomshot, I think you can use that after a blocked ass (6A) to prevent punishment on block.

Marisa is a rushdown character. You want to get them in the corner and apply relentless pressure. Her bullets might not cover much, but once you have them blocking your melee/bullets, don't let go. Of course that doesn't mean you should be reckless, but certainly aggressive.

First time playing ever

>>3942247
Good games! As you have probably noticed, I suck with every character except Komachi, hope I didn't bore you by playing her all the time.
Anyway, I'm off to get some food and do some other stuff.
And also, which character is your main?

>>3942934
Gotcha. I thought that jumping while blocking was a guaranteed block. I think someone called that chickenblocking, but I guess I misunderstood.

And yeah, a lot of how I played was from me trying not into rush into combo after combo like I used to, but I think that translated to me being a little too defensive. I need to work on keeping the pressure on, and I should probably try to learn blockstrings for when I actually do get someone cornered.

>>3942989
GGs. Don't worry, I'm used to playing against people who use only a few characters.
As you might have noticed, Youmu is my main, with Meirin and Cirno as close seconds.
I need to learn to be more careful, I ended up rushing a bit too often, usually resulting in you kicking my ass.
Also, I was a bit surprised I actually won with Suwako. That's my first time since the first days of 12.3.

>>3942881
I pretty much agree, and I use laser squares alt too. But still she could use some different looking projectiles and more alts that don't suck. That eye skill and spellcard look so awesome, but they are useless. 214B open too slow and is too small to be of significant use (I use it only vs Patchy's fireballs and Sakuya's dagger spam) and 236B/C fixed distance make it rather bad. If only 236C always opened above the enemy it would be great. Other than that she could really use 22B/C skill.

>>3943019
Chickenblocking is when you block stuff in the air. since air to air blocking pushes you upwards, it makes it easy to escape pressure. For example, if you throw a 5c my way and I block it on the ground, I stay in place and I'm still fucked. If I jump and then block it, it'll bounce me upwards and it'll be a lot harder for you to keep hitting me. But like I said, if you jump JUST as the thing is about to hit you, you'll get hit.

hurp durr

>>3943019
Some ground melee attacks can be blocked in the air (Alice db for example), some can't (komachi 5a, okuu 3a, etc...). In any case, there is a period of time where you cannot block anything just as you jump. If you use a high jump, this lasts pretty much until the apex of the jump + any hit counts as a counterhit.

where do i d/l this and how do i set it up

ggs profile1p, no particular comments, but blocking low more would be a start. Also I wish I had saved that one Sakuya replay.

>>3943503
Great games as always, Duckator. Sorry to cut it a little short this time, but I'm getting awfully hungry. I was making an effort to demonstrate that I knew what blocking was, but I can't help but feel as though I'm still failing given the fact that I still fall for DPs and stuff like Aya's 66C all the time. You were a really great opponent to work with, though, since you really knew how to catch me messing up; I feel like if I face you, I may have some semblance of a defense in a little while.

Our Cirno/Reimu match was a bit of a mistake, I thought the 5C would hit so I activated the sword spellcard, but you completely stuffed me. Our Meiling/Sakuya was incredibly close as well, I'm really happy that I managed to go without using the Sky Dragon Kick (those were some horrible card draws, hahaha). I wanted to see if I could melee you right after Perfect Maid ends, but I kept underestimating the duration. Your Sakuya truly shines compared to mine.

>>3943954
Good games guy, my fingers are thoroughly defrosted now.

I'm still not used to playing on the player 2 side. I kept trying to use your cards and wondering why they weren't working. Also, I can never seem to hit you with any reversal cards. You fall for graze attacks and DPs a lot but it's like you know just when I'm about to use the spellcard.

>Your Sakuya truly shines compared to mine.
And your Meiling is much better than mine.

>Your Sakuya truly shines compared to mine.
I think your Sakuya is better than my Meiling.

I'm still not used to playing on the player 2 side. I kept trying to use your cards and wondering why they weren't working. Also, I can never seem to hit you with any reversal cards. You fall for graze attacks and DPs a lot but it's like you know just when I'm about to use the spellcard.

>Your Sakuya truly shines compared to mine.
And your Meiling is much better than mine.

>>And Yukari conversation in general
For bullets, Yukari's projectiles get the job done. She has almost no lines of vulnerability where coverage is lacking.
Yukari's spells are arguably the best in the game due to the way they operate with her normal moves to produce a style of play that no other characters can really attempt. In terms of safety/power/efficiency/guarantees/versatility Yukari's spells are unmatched.
The default 214 is awful. The default 236 is actually quite powerful, but is the most difficult part of Yukari to master. Unfortunately all of her alternates are weak to bad, but that makes it easy to use more awesome spells. Thankfully she comes competitive with her defaults.
Yukari really only has two major weaknesses that set her back, her aerial melee/comboability is bottom of the barrel, in a game where the top tier is dominated by meaty aerial melees and air combo power. Weak aerial power contributes but isn't the sole cause of her second weakness which is low damage conversion. Wise use of safe chip damage is necessary to make up for low combo damage.
I find it easy to compete with Yukari against the toppest of the tourneyfags.
In SWR there was one nearly hopeless matchup (Alice) but in Soku she is functional in every matchup, even if some are still uncomfortable situations.

anyone wanna play?

Anyone know where to change the controls? I just installed the game and was reading the wiki on controls, but mine ended up using the arrow keys and "zxc" for the moves, so I'm missing like half my controls.

>>3945528
Well Soku is very well balanced overall and not counting Suwako all characters are a good choice. But still Yukari could use some more versatility and different looking projectiles.

Maybe 1.10 will add something good.

Man I'm getting destroyed.

;_;

GG's, you need to try move out and not be stuck in the corner all the time!

gg. first time playing against another person, only started playing yesterday, don't even know how you done half those moves with remilia. gotta practice a lot more before i can even compete with other people.

>>3946750
Soku isn't as balanced as late SWR yet.
For some reason Tasofro stopped short of releasing the balance patches for Soku like 1.03 and 1.04 were for SWR. They were supposed to be 1.10. 1.10 was supposed to be months ago. ;_;

>>3946813
Hopefully they are preparing something really major and good for 1.10.

>>3946825
In terms of balance something major isn't really necessary. There are a few characters a bit too strong, and 5-6 too weak. All 5 of the new characters + Alice need some uptweaking. But Tasofro seems to be planning major changes to alternate skills, so who knows how sweeping 1.10 will be.

>>3946832
I really want Yukari's eyes spell to become usefull. It's the best looking spell in the game.

And yeah, new chars and Alice need some buffs. Making all those useless alt cards good would be nice too.

And maybe, just maybe, they will finally add Kaguya...

>>3946923

Wat? The only useless alt skills for Alice are probably Ambush-Party Dolls, Doll Cremation, and SP Doll. All the others have their niche and are perfectly usable, except mayyybe Thousand Spear Dolls, but that's just because it's kind of unwieldy and hard to use with Alice's normal play style. All the other ones are perfectly viable, especially Seeker Wire, and depending on playstyle, Archer Dolls are great, too. Returning Dolls are beautiful for comboing, and Edo High Explosive Pawn is useful for approaching at midrange

>>3946989
I meant all those useless alt cards in the whole game, not Alice. She actually have some nice alt skills.

>>3947022

Oh I see what you mean. Yeah, it's a shame so many alt cards are just terribad. Hopefully a lot of them will be buffed into usefulness ::/

Anybody ever tested how big of a bonus buff system cards like grimoire give? 5%? 10%?

Nobody hosting?

>>3948252
You'd just have to try it yourself in practice and see if you think it makes a difference. I don't think there's a base number for spirit regen, so nobody really knows numerically what the grimoire is giving. The rest should be listed here http://swr.mizuumi.net/index.php/Spellcards

>>3948283
Grimoire seems to give a significant boost. Good choice for long range spammers like Patchy.

Anyways which system cards are generally considered a good choice?

>>3948331
Suika, Iku, Reimu... I personally like Reisen's

>>3948331
Tenshi's, Iku's, Okuu's, and Reimu's are all pretty good. Out of those four, Tenshi's and Iku's are probably the best, then Reimu's, then Okuu's.

>>3948002
GGs.

>>3948369

You could maybe try a bit more complicated tactic with Utsuho; each blocked Rocket Dive gives your opponent a free chance to beat you.
Still, my rushing cost me many matches as well.
Overall, very fun games.

>>3948618
Good games, Loli Rape. Man, I still need a lot of work with Alice. Anyways, sorry if it seemed like I was eating so many grazeable attacks; I kept trying and failing to high jump out of the corner! A lot of close matches, and, of course, some not so close ones (that first round of Alice vs Yukari comes to mind, ugh). Just one small complaint: I hate how goddamn short Youmu is. It's completely ridiculous that I can whiff Sky Dragon Kick at point block just because you hunch over a little bit while dashing! ;_;

>>3948908
>point block

Err, point blank.

>>3948908
You defeated my Youmu and she's my main. Maybe she has gotten worse because I use every character.
Good games anyway. I think I have played you before (months ago) and we had a lot of lag (I'm from South America), not now.

>>3948923
Well, Meiling is my main if it makes you feel any better. Your Yukari did some interesting stuff; that teleporting 66C or 3A or whatever it was...I don't think I've seen that done before, it really took me by surprise. Your location does explain the lag, though, I was sorta wondering about that. Although Nipah is from South America too, and I don't remember getting lag quite like the lag we had.

>>3948935
Yeah, I've been trying to find good uses of that Yukari's Alt skill, sometimes interesting things happen.

>>3949098
Thank you for the lessons sensei. Now I need to ice my hand from all the rage punches I did to my chair.

I had delay for the first half or so matches and it was pissing me off badly. Still, I had fun. Day 4 of my Hisoutensoku experience and I am still getting beat down. You are the first one I used Reisen on, and I have to say I like her tricks, but against pressure like Youmu I seem to crumble. I still suck at handling corner and wakeup pressure in this.

Oh well, I guess I'll continue to take beatings on here, as the hardest difficulty CPU's are hardly any help.

>as the hardest difficulty CPU's are hardly any help

Yeah CPU suck badly. If only there were some harder difficulties and option to edit it's deck.

Finally, somebody other than me using Suigintou palette Alice!

She's still underloved though.

>>3950047
A lot of seriously frustrating "what the hell" moments there. I am seriously failing to high jump today, and it is really beginning to bug me. During our Youmu/Tenshi match, I love how the weather oh so conveniently turned to the counter-hit weather, ruining my BnB right as I was starting it, causing you to live and come back for the win. Hurr derp.

Oh, and the time when you were RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and my Alice did her f.5A. That was pretty goddamn awesome (read: fucking retarded). Good matches as always, Rabbit. One day I'll completely block everything your Youmu throws out, but until then, I'll continue to jump right into the middle of your 2Cs and gladly eat your DPs.

>>3950047
Good games Guy, were those ever some close matches. I'm kinda suprised that you can now escape MPP so easily, and it looks like I'll need to practice that form a little to keep things interesting. I think the highlight of the match was the Meiling/Patchy match where somehow you got 3 swords in a row followed by a blazing kick spellcard for a 31 hit finishing combo.

>>3950122
Haha, unfortunately it was because of the mirror match gave by default her color scheme. I'm a base palette player.

>>3950595
It was just two swords, unfortunately. I've yet to be lucky enough to have 3 swords, a kick card, and a spare card in my deck during the -1 spell cost weather.

One day, though. One day...

>>3950951
Don't hold your breath.

>>3950951
As much as I hate River Mist appearing to screw up a blockstring, or a Typhoon right before Suika uses Gathering Oni "Throwing Atlas", these are, to me, an integral part of the game. I honestly can't imagine playing SWIRR and having fun without the weather. Besides, it's really up to the player to manipulate the weather; if you get caught by something bad, it is, for the most part, your own fault.

>>3950951
This, fucking weather changes always dick me over.

>>3951002
You can manipulate the weather? How do you manipulate the weather?

>>3951019
Slam your opponent against the wall or ground your opponent. Let yourself get knocked down or slammed against the wall. Use Tenshi's sword to either change the weather from clear to whatever's on the counter (if the timer is in between 50-100), or to change the weather back to clear.

>>3950047
Those AI's are really good, thx.

>>3950646
Good games, E-MAN. Hurrr I didn't even know you were banned.

Pretend I prepared a tree-level paragraph on how much I hate Alice and River Mist for this, because I don't feel like making one at the moment. Also I chuckled when I knocked you down with Remi's 5-card when you had Iku's barrier up, and then it hit me while you were falling.

>>3950047

>Try to play Alice vs custom AI Iku

JESUS FUCKING FUCK ON A CRACKER, HOW DO I FUCKING HIT THIS GUY WITHOUT JUST EXPLOITING CHARGED C DOLLS CONSTANTLY?

>>3951214
If it makes you feel any better, Iku is one of the hardest AIs, along with Reimu.

I wish I was joking when I say that just fighting this AI makes me think of dropping Alice and picking up Iku. What's that? I can have all the range and power of Alice, but without having to set up five hundred fucking dolls perfectly and hope the enemy doesn't decide to graze or get in my deadzone?

Jesus fucking christ, if players online are as good as this, I might as well just drop Alice now ::/

>>3951309
The Iku AI is not that hard to beat, at least with the characters that can crush with projectiles.
Too bad Alice is not one of them.

Don't expect them to play like a real player in terms of blocking and grazing though.
They will get you rid of your mashing like no human player.

I didn't think this post went through since I posted it right when boards went down.
After playing with you I realized how weak my Youmu is. I think I'll train her some more before using her again.

Bump

>>3950047
God dammit, the Iku AI is inhumanly defensive. High/Low guard mixup, crossups and wakeup dragonpunches do not work. Coupled with her uncanny ability to combo from any situation makes for some rageworthy matches. Alas, there is a gap in her AI where she doesn't watch Youmu's myon and falls too easily to 2C. Still, I can't abuse that enough to beat her.

>>3950047
No matter how you put it, this is a bad AI.

All it does is read your inputs (aka cheating) and select the "best" move programmed into it. If you press B or C, it dashes even if it isn't anywhere near the bullet.
It can't act, only react. It stays in the corner and takes bullet chip damage forever, because someone forgot to tell it what to do.
The way to beat it is to exploit the faults in the program and attack it when it's shooting some bullets in air or a lighting across the screen for no reason, or chip damage it to 1 health.

>>3953891
Welcome to all ai.

Any hosts?

>>3953891
It's still much better than normal Soku AI. But yeah, this auto-dashing thing is annoying.

>>3950047
Holy shit... I hope it's not shoped.

>>3953930
Nah, SWRs AI is a step below that even. I mean, they don't even know how to use their spellcards. If they happen to be on a super, they will randomly fire it off at some point. If it's a system or skill card they will do nothing with it the entire match. At least the AIs in other fighting games use their full moves list against you.

At least story mode is good.

>>3953990
He's talking about tasofro AI.

>>3954003
Then maybe he should stop using easy mode.

Does this game has charge characters?

>>3954009
Tasofro Lunatic sucks like Easy Mode.
They may be able to pull of some good combos in melee, but they can't graze properly. You can simply shoot them down over and over again.

The AI in this game is way easier to beat than other games.
Lunatic is like level 5 of snk games or normal of capcom.

>>3954027
True. They really need to improve it.

But to be fair it's much harder to make good SWR AI than say SF or GG AI because of the card system and weather.

hosts?

Anyone up for a game?
