Characters with higher skill caps will always trump basic characters if you have the skill to use them.as someone who's been playing and following fighting games for ten years this is not true it's only true for bad fighting games, with the exception of melee there's a difference between learning a character and mastering them, and in a well-designed fighting game, you can certainly have characters with a high learning curve, but every character will take the same amount of effort to ultimately master—this is true of games like street fighter and king of fighters 7238

The Flood / Re: critique my story please« on: July 10, 2017, 01:11:49 PM »i converted this to block style format just to make it easier for me you can take my suggestions or leave them, but i tried my best to help out with the more technical aspects of the story, while still maintaining the style (which is the challenging part for me) and of course the content is entirely unchanged underlined words are my own added in as suggestions; instead of deleting words, i struck them out so you can see what i changed i got a little lazy towards the end [1] comma splice [2] you could omit these two words and have it flow better, i think [3] awkward sentence—is the word "when" missing here, between "Francis Square" and "saw"? if so, you don't need the comma [4] to eke out a more uncertain atmosphere, i recommend using the less-committal "appeared to be" over "was" [5] i recommend using em dashes (—) rather than hyphens—microsoft word makes them automatically if you type two hyphens, or you can use alt+0151 [6] some personal embellishments: - Old: That old maniac was scared out of his mind. The trip up there was easy enough. - Suggestion: That old maniac was scared out of his mind, but at least the trip up there was easy enough. - Suggestion: That old maniac was scared out of his mind. At least the trip up there was easy enough. [7] extra space after the period—it's actually not grammatically incorrect to place two spaces after a period, but you have to be consistent about it [8] you could say "nobody" instead of "no one" here, if you want to establish a more informal narrative voice [9] i'm not a fan of using the same adjective twice in one sentence if you can avoid it - Old: No one lingered out of their homes this late, and it was still far too early for any early risers. - Suggestion: Nobody lingered out of their homes this late, and it was still far too soon for any early risers. - Suggestion: Nobody lingered out of their homes this late, and it was still far too early for anyone else to be up. [10] i think you should establish that Schuyler isn't alone and has a partner a little bit earlier—she kinda comes out of nowhere [11] i personally like "towards" better than just "toward," but it doesn't really matter [12] this is a good metaphor, but "begged for me to look away" is more grammatical [13] what did you mean by this? did you mean haunted? that would make more sense in the context of having a "hypothesis" [14] comma after "fear," omit the second "there" [15] comma splice - Old: I couldn't say I blamed her, I figured the dark isn't for everybody. - Suggestion: I couldn't say I blamed her, though. I figure the dark isn't for everybody. - Suggestion: I couldn't say I blamed her. The dark's not for everybody, I suppose. [16] the proper way to do ellipses is to put a space between each period, but i don't think an ellipsis is all that necessary here in the first place [17] you forgot to close this quotation [18] "she" is not capitalized here—if you're gonna add "he said" or "she said" to a piece of dialogue, never capitalize it, even if the dialogue ends in a question mark or exclamation point (basically treat it as though it were a comma) [19] NEVER use apostrophes for quotation marks, unless you want to put a quote within a quote [20] to avoid using "unbelievable" twice, i rephrased this [21] weirdly, you begun this with an apostrophe, but closed it with a quotation mark [22] "she lied" implies omniscience on Schuyler's part; my edit makes it more of a personal interpretation, which may be better [23] definitely use an em dash here instead of an ellipsis—an ellipsis leaves too long of a pause for an interruption, but a dash implies that she's actually getting interjected or cut off mid-sentence [24] i think "can't comprehend" sounds a bit clunky, but "cannot comprehend" has a nice little cadence to it that rolls of the tongue [25] "illicit" means illegal or unlawful; as in, an illicit substance—the word you meant to use was "elicit" [26] you mixed up the words here—"we can't it give any" should be "we can't give it any" [27] you could rephrase this: Old: "Why can we only break the vessel, though?" Suggestion: "Why is it that only we can break the vessel, though?" this makes it so that the "we" is emphasized without actually needing to italicize the word [28] maybe write it like this instead: Here we go, I thought to myself. [29] a comma should go after "added" [30] a comma should go here as well [31] you already used the word "that" in this sentence, so omit the "it" [32] turn this comma into a colon [33] comma after "amnestics" [34] "propaganda-infested" is a compound adjective, so there should be a hyphen there [35] comma splice [36] book titles should be italicized [37] we can see for ourselves that she twisted the metaphor; it doesn't need to be pointed out again [38] woah there's a random square here for some reason [39] it's probably not necessary to specify "local" in this context [40] instead of "a degenerate kid," say "some degenerate kid"—it sounds a lot more biting and dismissive that's all i got 7248

The Flood / Re: critique my story please« on: July 09, 2017, 10:38:58 PM »in my opinion, it's better to ask questions later, after your subject has already read your pieceyes they sound differentwhat do you mean? after what? that way, it's a completely natural read, and i'm not specifically looking for things it's just to minimize bias—like, if i'm concerned that i have a character who swears too often, i'm not gonna ask you "does this character swear too often?" because then you're gonna be homing in on that specific thing, rather than allowing the rest of the piece a chance to perhaps justify the level of profanity (or not) it wasn't a huge problem here, because i think you distinctified the characters' personalities well enough to where i don't feel like i'm being biased by saying yeah, they sound like two different people that being said, your grammar needs a bit of work, too, but i'm sure you're already aware of that 7250

Melee is a weird example because the game was never intended to be played competitively in the first place—it just turns out that it makes a really excellent competitive game, especially considering the fact that it wasn't meant to be.
That game is grossly imbalanced—the viability between characters like Fox and Bowser is disgusting, but I give it a pass for never trying to be competitive in the first place. When a game like Halo tries to be a competitive and fails, that's when you start having problems. 7258
Gaming / Re: So Halo 3 is coming out on Xbone, and you guys want me to 1v1 Chally agian...« on: July 09, 2017, 06:40:33 PM »Doesn't the same hold true for any game though? I don't care much about fighting games, but I think it's pretty well accepted that some characters just have higher potential and are harder to master than others.Yeah, but that doesn't mean they're deliberately designed that way. Ryu in Street Fighter is designed to be basic and easy to learn, but mastery requires a lot of training—as with any other character in the game. It's true that some characters are harder to master than others, but that's not deliberate—competitive games aren't supposed to be easy like that. It may be impossible to make a perfectly balanced roster of characters, but you can still try. If you could master a character in a day, because he has a low skill ceiling, that's not very good design. These kinds of games are meant to be much more intense and challenging than that. Challenger is trying to tell me that the fact that there are weapons in Halo that are easier to master than others is just a function of arena shooters, and they're not meant to be well-designed. Of course I'm gonna take issue with that. Quote How high a skill gap/cap is can also be kind of subjective. Think Quake for example. What takes the most skill or is the hardest to master: rail gun, grenade launcher or lightning gun?Yeah. And while I don't disagree that balance is a difficult thing to quantify for most games, I think Halo (as a whole) is a very blatant example of an unbalanced mess of a series, and I've played my fair share of Halo games with my friends to know that there is no balance whatsoever—especially Halo 2 (despite having the most fun with it). Challenger himself admitted earlier that Needlers are low-skill weapons that are easy to use and master. In Halo 2, the needler was notoriously OP, especially because you could dual-wield them. Halo 1 had the stupid pistol. And if Halo 3 were balanced at all, challenger wouldn't be so keen on banning all weapons except for the BR. That's all I'm saying, and I really don't think it's that unreasonable. To say that the BR puts both players on a level playing field would be tacitly admitting that other weapons would throw that balance off, hence the game is unbalanced. And therefore bad. 7259
