Re: Anyone got butterflies for the 2nd Vegas Qualifier???

I get what you guys are saying and you're technically correct, yes everyone has the same option to pick Faber as well to even everything out. But, I believe the big point of this mode was to allow people to play out the upcoming marquee matchups against other players in an environment where each fighter is on relatively equal footing due to exact same stats across the board. Unlike ranked, it was supposed to be the mode where you could finally pick a non-champion and not have to worry.

Think of it like this: In COD if there is one gun that has the highest rate of fire and damage, and all the other guns have inferior stats, that's a problem. If one proclaims it to be a problem, others could just say "why not just pick the same gun too?". While true, you have to admit that having one gun being distinctively more powerful than all the others is bad game design, there's no balance. UFC 2 is a bit of an exception to this though, because it has to try to accurately represent how good the fighters are in real life in relation to other fighters, and understandably so. But with the live event competition mode, you have something that is supposed to supercede that concept for the sake of fair competition to truly see who the best players are. But unfortunately there was an overlooked wrench that got thrown in with this whole stiff/heavy jab and straight cross issue that puts this whole mode back to square one in terms of what it was trying to achieve, imo.

I'm done playing this mode. The lag is too much to bare. You can't effectively deny or even strike. This game has so much potential, but it is slipping away because of the latency and Tekken type combos. Who thought these were okay? I know the GCs helped with the striking. Did they not think the same combos having the same reactions every time was not going to be a problem? The stand up is straight out of a arcade game. Need to get a controller to pre-program these goofy *** combos.

This is funny to me.

The game has been out for 3 months and I dont recall you complaining about the combos regularly until recently. So it took you 2 mos of playing this game regularly to start complaining about the striking but we were supposed to make changes to the whole system off of 4 days of playing the game?

I dont even know why I'm responding to this. You know how this thing works. You know the GCers suggested several things about striking. You know that the final decision lies with the devs. We suggest. Thats it. But you know that all ready.

Stuff like this is the reason why damn near every GCer doesnt post here regularly anymore. We give people a look behind the scenes. We constantly pass along ideas from the forum and encourage the devs to consider the ideas for patches or future titles. Still, we get blamed for decisions that are out of our control? Get outta here with that BS.

I watched a twitch stream of the number 1 UT guy playing this LEC..I don't play because I work weekends and would never have a realistic chance anyway.

I watched about 8 fights and EVERY one of them had unplayable lag. Not just stuttering, glitching, but unplayable gamebreaking lag. EVERY FIGHT. And this dude is number 1 in the world and streams all the time..It's not his connection.

I was like wow, what a crock.

Ah, it is just a frustration post. These combos though are killing the game. They are too arcade. Especially with latency and the hit reactions. Not my type of gameplay for striking. I know you guys said you helped the striking a lot. I'm just trying to figure out why they would allow this type of thing. The striking in the first game was better. The servers were also better at launch though. Those didn't deteriorate until like 5-6 months down the road. These servers are just bad. I see why everyone sits on block. It is very, very hard to block on reaction in the game because of input lag. Just disappointed right now. The game is fun as hell, but these LECs really show the worst sides of the game.

Has to be the traffic or something. The servers this morning are pretty good. Even beat a GC. Still love the clinch lol.
