Great interview, very interesting points made by Aris. However i disagree with some of the points regarding Hilde in SC4. Cause if not for Hilde, the game is pretty damn balanced. People might cry foul of Algol, but hes not really that unbalanced and once you learn his tricks, hes pretty damn easy to beat. I don’t understand why people have to drop the older game for the new game sometimes. Why not play both? Im going to be playing T6 and SC4 for the forseeable future. 3D for life.
Preferably I hate to play AS Hilde. I like playing against her. There are quite a few of her combos that online are probably impossible to get out of but that ol faith full just ukemi or justroll w/e will save your life. I think it is balanced with her. It is just one of those characters you will get the hell punished out of you if you let her. -_- though sometimes being rung out does get frustrating.
Ok just found out this fact recently regarding Lars uf+3.
It’s not actually like Drag’s d/f+2 is a high mid, it’s actually Lars’ hitbox while recovering from that move. Somehow Namco screwed up and gave Lars the hitbox of a B!ed character! Yes, that means any move that hits after B! will punish Lars. Yeah it’s kinda stupid to see Jack’s f+4(a high) punish uf+3 while Drag’s df+2 whiffs.
Very interesting to listen to. However with all that talk of arcade fighting games being superior and the importance of balance and revisions why no mention of Virtua Fighter? What game is more balanced, has more revisions and is more centered around the arcade than VF?
