I actually prefer the backscratcher (rake)along with the vanilla flamethrower for cheap airblasts. Being able to completely nullify ubers by airblast juggling them, and not depending on a medic for health is 2 big plusses for me.

the auto blocking feature is very old, come from the Darkstalkers series, where you can choose auto-block or manual, and really help you a little, but it dont has use in real matches cuz the game turned off that feature until the round finished.

I started to say I'm glad arcade games didn't do this, but then I remembered at least one did. An old game called Lost Tomb. You were an Indiana Jones type explorer and whips were your super weapon. Occasionally the game would stop to sell you extra whips, if you put in another quarter.

Dawtwan: just avoid Capcom games and you'll be fine, it's only really Capcom that does this.
As me for, when I played I was a powerjack Pyro. Backburner killed fast enough on ambushes outside of heavies, and Powerjack was nice when you were out of ammo.

Comparing SFxTK paying to win gems with gems you pick-up in-game like in those other two games is completely wrong.
EltonBM

The jewels are not new, they were present in Marvel Super Heroes and in Gem Fighters. They are not that much different here. Did they messed up in SFxTK? I need to play more of the game to be sure. But they should be a bit more smart and made the same they did in UMvsC3-A mode with the gems.

[url=#user_comment_138033]@Gouki[/url]: Ok, it costs meter, but why would that be a downside. Now you can block 50/50 mix ups with ease, and punish them for trying. Fuck EX attacks or supers, just auto-block, then hit them a little. God, if games like blazblue and guilty gear had that, they would suck.

Anyway, as for my thoughts about the comic, I just found even more reasons not to go back into fighting games.
Rather not be called a "n00b" by a 12-year-old with rich parents just because I was man enough to go without gems.
Davtwan

Of course, defensive Pyro still has his place too. His airblast works wonders in preventing projectiles from attacking pushes and buildings and there's the Homewrecker as well.
I'm just saying, Pyro isn't strickly a defender/supporter. His flanking ability can do wonders.

[url=#user_comment_138165]@Pyro[/url]
Hold on there. Pyro does have his place in offense. He is on the Offense Tab after all. What he lacks in attacking people in a frontal encounter, he makes up for it in his ambush abilty. He works differently than a Scout or a Spy, but his HP and airblast ability helps his survivablity.

well, axtinguisher is more for "axssasin" pyros, whos soul purpose is to ruin everybodys day whenever possible.
homewrecker pyros are useful, but not the be all end all.
I personally just airblast and reserve shooter em.
Pyro
almost 13 years ago
Axtinguisher is a crutch. Real pyros Homewrecker and learn their place as defenders of others. Not saying a pyro is a bad class (its my second favorite) but it is most effective defending engineers and medics from spies, scouts, demoknights and w+m1 pyros and lighting large attacking groups on fire.

Sometimes I don't really notice the gem system when I play a match. It doesn't annoy as much now.
I do wonder what would have happen if they approached SFxT without the gem system. This game could have been a lot better.

Why does capcom feel the need to make MORE DLC? There must be enough money in new characters and recolors to not need to add STAT boosts. Also, when you factor in that it's not a free game, this COULD be getting to the point of greed by now.

...oh lol, the auto-block gems? They're shit. They only work if you're not attacking, and they take bar. I hate to say it because it sounds like elitism at it's finest, but if you're having problems with auto-block, you should probably just get better at the game.
