TH13.5 Hopeless Masquerade - Thread the Nth

[Gpop]

Right now having a Miko VS Miko match with a friend, GPop. But, I'll play later.

She really is good with Miko, but she gave me the best laugh on X Fire ever.

Quote from my friend: Yo, this is a story all about how my life got immortalized turned upside down so i'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the fresh prince of a land called Japan.

Edit: Alright, I'm ready now just need to carry about my Miko's setup and learn how to not teeter badly with Koishi.  :V

BRING IT!

Oh lol sorry, I was away at a party. Drop me a PM with either Skype or using IRC and we can set up some battles :V

Another blog update.

Hijiri:
Buffs from spell chanting last longer (some buffs may be weakened); the skills are greatly improved to encourage more diverse use of skills.

Miko:
The blue (unpopular) cape will revert back to yellow (neutral) after some time.

Nitori:
Energy cost increased over the board; some skills are buffed, befitting their cost; that infamous attack is largely unchanged, but costs a lot.

Is the "infamous attack" the bubble one?

Next update: Koishi who has received the most tweaking.

Wait, will this be on the next patch or just speculation hype from Tasoforo?

It appears since this patch is already nearing completion, the changes are getting locked down. Of course the general principle of "all things in development subject to change applies".

Ah! Then let's hope this one gives Kokoro her spellcards and finally allows better gameplay.

I'm excited by this. I hope one of the changes is that the moves don't randomly come out after some time of not being activated. It makes Koishi unnecessarily unsafe and sometimes giving the opponent a free second combo.

The fact that she's easy to bait makes a lot of higher level players think she's low tier, despite a lot of untapped potential in her

I've actually been a victim of Koishi having a bait moment quite a few times, so some tweaks would be good to ensure this doesn't happen.

Does anyone want to play? : 3c

EDIT)) Is there a single page guide or at least website for all of these gameplay things that you guys talk about? Such as the passives of characters?

 You could probably just search for the shinkirou wiki.

Send me a PM and we can play a few rounds then :V

[Neodymium]

I play with a PS3 controller.  I have A on square, B on triangle C on R!, X on X, Y on O, and Z on R2.

A blog post about Koishi. I understand what this post is saying even less than previous posts, but they'll try to make Koishi's triggered attacks more useful. One method is by diversifying their trigger conditions. Most of them are no longer triggered after time lapse, and all set attacks are disabled when Koishi is stunned.

The screenshot shows a front slot Catch and Rose; it's now triggered by the opponent's shooting or skill action.

[Gpop]

Now this is perfect. Now opponents will no longer get a free second combo after stunning her the first time. That was the biggest problem with Koishi as a lot of combos are long enough that as soon as she recovers, the time that lapsed by then will be long enough that she'd auto-trigger her moves, giving them a second combo.

Can I see that screenshot? Triggered by the opponent sounds weird.

Wondering if this means hitstun or limitstun, and cancelled or temporarily disabled.
Probably hitstun and temp disabled. Cancelled would be pretty crippling if repeatedly interrupted.

However if it's cancelled, it would tie in with the removal of the timer.
No more waiting out moves, needing to cancel them by force.
Sounds pretty dangerous for both sides.

So CR is an interrupter now... Yeah the trigger for CR was pretty niche-y. Will definitely be interesting.

Sounds like they're using the field of vision for the triggers.

Holy hell, could it always reach so far?

And it interrupts, Hm. What a dangerous ability to go up against, what with the unpredictability.
Will definitely ward off some skills and projectiles, which will influence people to either close the distance or change elevation

Thinking about it again though, couldn't it be baited out with a move that is advantageous frame-wise?

[Gpop]

Sounds like they're using the field of vision for the triggers.

That is pretty scary. Dunno if it's necessary but...might be a nice move to have, especially for midscreen combos.

[KuroArashi100]

But isn't it kinda weird that they are making so many changes after the game already came out?
I mean, they released a demo before, but they don't really seem to be satisfied with what they made either.

[Darth_Sirov]

Well, the concept and system are somewhat new... and they were pressed for time, hence why Kokoro is still unavailable for 2 months (close to 2, still)

And, look at Capcom... how many versions of Street Fighter 2 have they put out since the initial release?

[cuc]

Patch 1.10 released. Seems to be a balance patch. Tasofro's site is difficult to access now due to the traffic.

[LadyScarlet]

The next patch better contain Kokoro.

[Quwanti]

That is a looong list of changes.

Think someone can summarize the most important changes?


And it seems that Futo indeed is able to now place 7 plates max. When her x attack hits it places a double one. It is now also easier to stun with her. I have to learn completely new combo's with her.

You also get a message for a big change in popularity, and for which reason this is.

And noooooooooo, Unzan'z Fist item card now stuns on the first hit.

[LadyScarlet]

Everyone gets an extra hit on their 5AAAA(A) combo, which now stuns the opponent upon the last hit.

[cuc]

While Kokoro is not selectable, with the modified save file, you can see she has some half-implemented spell cards. She can cause a status ailment on the opponent.

[Serela]

Holy crap, this completely changes some of the characters.

..isn't there supposed to be a tournament in a week? rofl.

[Critz]

Been a while since I've played this but... were Futo's plates always this fast, even without Taoism? And I love how everything save for 5Y now makes 2 plates on hit :V.

[Gpop]

can someone translate the changelist for the patch if there is one? I wanna see all the changes Koishi has now
