I just have an affinity for using High execution and Technical Characters.

Looks like we are similar in ways. Some people truly don't appreciate that. There are those that simply hate high execution reward characters because it's not easy for them. Apparently they want characters to hold their hand and make it as easy as breathing.

Meh. Personally its a combination of

1) I want to fight the opponent, not the controls
and
2) High execution characters seem to be way too good once you've learned the execution. I don't like that. Should always take more than just memorizing inputs, imo.

I'm fine with bob and weave high mobility or stance technical characters...I just don't like a lot of arbitrary input execution lol.


I tend towards more practical fighters (i say practical as in fighting style and "standard" inputs), so its also a matter of perspective.

Now here's the issue Argentus. It's your own personal feel to the game which is cool and all on your end, but there are characters specifically made just like that, it's a trend of FGs that simply will not change. Well if you don't like the arbitrary input execution you can always go for an easier character. Also getting perfect timing on execution doesn't necessarily mean the character at the end result is super good....even those type of characters have disadvantage. Some more obvious than others.

But you also did say -High execution characters turn out to be *way too good*.- Which is not true at all.

phase-4 is a perfect example

 

[DestructionBomb]

phase-4 is a perfect example

Phase 4 is *Not* execution heavy. I told people time and time again that she isn't considered that.

If you mean her poor attempt of a neutral game as her way to be difficult to use against other characters who have a easier time? then yeah I agree. Let's give a temporary fake example of a reward damage.

This is not execution heavy:
~ - 52 DMG

This is execution heavy:
:[H]: - 52 DMG

 

[NeverGiveUp]

Execution has a different meaning depending on how the person views it. Phase 4 may be execution heavy to some people but for others she isn't. I have used several characters that are much more harder and technical to use (Gen and C viper from SF) Furthermore, some people are actually not technical players meaning some players don't perform well using characters that require a high amount of dexterity but nothing wrong with that.

Imo execution depends on many factors like Directional inputs, Just frames (1 framers) Charging a button (Hilde) Rapid 5 button inputs (Honda, Gen,) Slide inputs that require a fast motion etc.

The term "execution heavy" has been loosely used from time to time. I'm going by the base term.

The issue with Phase 4 is that her neutral game is poor and issues getting specific damage in which makes her difficult overall due to other characters having a easier time to throw punish most strings and whiff punish specific setups with low distance variety. Not to mention that people are playing in DOA lag which messes up her timing, you can perform all these in the lab to notch down the timing since it's literally only a few buttons to get damage in but won't exactly get them down in a match due to lag. The input timing to the "On-hit" property is the same as Kasumi. Of course, I will agree that some players are not technical on that aspect but that is a randomized general type of players to go by. If the player feels Phase 4 is execution heavy then it's more of a own personal feel to it..but in a base sense..it's not exactly on par correct. The way I wrote it may sound ignorant a bit..but surely you understand where I am coming from here. If a player truly feels Phase 4 is execution heavy, it's likely a mental thing and adjusting to the character...but telling people that is more of a ignorant thing because it's performance on the hands and how they use her.

If you have a character in Guilty Gear that performs a chain link of 2A > 2A > Fireball, He has a easier execution barrier than a character who performs 236B > 236B > Fireball because you are performing more motions to it than you ordinarily should just to get damage that's about roughly the same (or slightly higher because of the reward for such motions..but it's not always the case.)

EDIT: I will admit, I did quote someone in the past before about which one is execution heavy or not with such arrogance. Didn't mean to disrespect any player because of it, but surely people will find out exactly what I mean eventually.

 

[Yurlungur]

funny enough @NeverGiveUp said exactly want i wanted too

I just meant that in form that phase 4 can be considered execution heavy with her timing and still be considered a bad character

besides nothing is more of a bitch then fucking doing KK as a counter move or Tking +pp

god i hate snk inputs sometimes

 

[J.D.E.]

Phase 4 isn't a character with a high learning curve, but she requires a lot of knowledge of the game in order for anyone to play her effectively because of her tool set. Execution-heavy characters mainly have a high learning curve, but some can be moderate too. Her's is moderate even though she's more difficult than Kasumi because of how her juggle sequences work. Some of them (like Kasumi) can have moderate curve when it comes to maximizing in damage. This is coming from a technical standpoint. Kasumi can be easy to pick up on starting out if you're a beginner, but her juggles take some getting used to with the teleport & delay. That's why I would put her in the range of moderate.

An example of a character of a high learning curve is Lei Fang. Her combos & setups take a lot more execution than you think. Every little situation is key for her to take advantage of from her sabakis to her whiff punishing. Other characters with a high learning curve are Ayane, Akira, & Hayabusa.

Evil Ryu is a character in SF who also has a high learning curve. So does C.Viper, Gen, & Akuma. Kage in VF is a character that requires heavy execution. So when I chose him over Pai & Sarah that meant that all of my time had to be devoted to him & no one else whatsoever in the game.

So execution-heavy characters require you as a player to take up time with those particular characters. In other words, you need to make sure that you want to be a specialist with that character, since you're going to have to get used to them. Furthermore, you'll struggle both in the lab AND during match sessions before you start making something happen, but once you do, it's rewarding.

 

[PuertoRicanStyL]

In VF, I main Akira. It's who I started playing VF with and (obviously) still do. Just doesn't get old bustin out some Akiraism, hahah.

DoA, I use Phase most of the time. But I bounce between her, Akira and Kokoro a lot though. Since I started with Kokoro, I couldn't just completely drop her for Phase cause I have fun using boafum (both of them).

USF4, Makoto. She's pretty much the main reason I even play that game. I never really liked the SF4 system too much, but a online friend did and always tried to get me to play with him. So I bought SSF4AE for $15 one day, found Makoto and started to have some fun with it.

SSF2THD, Ryu. Was my last fighting game I played since my 14 year time skip in fighting games, hahah. I mained Fei Leezy back then. But for some reason, Ryu feels more fun to me now. Part of it is because I can do the juice kick with him now and I just feel like I can style harder with him over Fei. I'll admit, them making Fei's flying dragon kick move into just a fireball motion instead of the ol' Tiger Knee' motion like it used to be, kinda turned me away from him. It just seems like a good move, and to be able to throw it out like candy on Halloween with no risk of jumping forward if you messed up didn't seem fair/sit well with me.. I feel more comfortable playin him in Classic Mode though.. Stupid personal thing, hahah, but it's just how the change hits me.

Seeing these other list like gawd dam! Some of yall play a grip of fighting games! That's a lot to own at one time. Salute.

Just to throw out there. For VF, I like to rock Jean too. He's hella dope.

And also just to say, this game has given me the hardest time to stick with one character. They're all so dam fun to use and have awesome move list.
