Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

I just can't manage to remember any attack schemes. Well I can but as soon as I'm fighting someone I'm back to random button mashing.

I think it's because of the "stress" added in multiplayer. Like you have to think and act very fast while being under permanent pressure.. I'm playing on xbox. ;x

You learn the combo buttons pretty quick, then it becomes a case of mashing the shit out of them till you know what they do haha. Cervantes is boss, very good one to start with, voldo is also amazing, so SO confusing. WHY DOES HE KEEP WALKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION?!

I've always liked the look and general feel of the games, but one thing has bothered me. It's bothered me so much one day I destroyed a copy of SC4 in a cold, calculated rage.

It's simple: The combat system is built on counters and countercounters and other reactive things. In a match between people this is a great thing and makes combat unpredictable until you get a feel for the play style of your opponent. However, in the hands of the CPU opponent this becomes a nightmare of bad AI.

In that split second between you pushing a button and the effect being played out on screen, the game can determine the proper counter in a time frame too short for the human mind and counter literally EVERYTHING you do. Winning against the most advanced CPU settings becomes a matter of luck and waiting for that 0.1% chance it'll flub a reaction so you can do the longest combo possible before it can regain the unfair advantage.

I hated that shit so bad. It cost me sixty bucks and I didn't even care. I was that butthurt. I'll never play SC again, no matter how pretty it gets and no matter how flexible the character creation is. The game outright cheats to beat you and that is not acceptable in this day and age.
