Juri is to cheesy for Mago to seriously play. The thing that interests me is how they are all over the roaster. Are they pretty much saying this game is balanced. You can play any character even in the competitive scene. I only play the characters i like fyi just hoping people will actually do that now (which is still unlikely cause some people aren't good enough to play who they like)
I thought most people DO pick who they like since the majority is still Ryu or Ken.
@ #8
When did i say it wasn't?? The person above me said get off my character so i was stating the obvious. He'd never play her seriously.
@ #10
Can't tell if you agree with me but I'm gonna have to say no way in hell that 7 out 10 percent of people only like Ryu or Ken. They are just easy to use on an online level of play.
Wow #12 owned me so super hard I shouldnt even be living anymore. I shouldnt waste time replying to you, but for general knowledge I didnt say anything about his gameplay which was above decent btw. It was just plain boring compared to his Fei long or Sagat.
Pwwwnneed :)... right
@14
Lol, I was jk. But it's kinda funny that you'd find Sagat and Fei Long more exciting than Juri. That seems to be the exact opposite of the usual EH trash. He's usually jeered for his Sagat/Fei play. And Juri is a unique character.
Funny enough though... I actually agree with you. Not because I found it boring. Because I personally am NOT a fan of Juri's playstyle.
EH has been doing a lot of 180's recently. Now ppl love the Daigo/Ryu combo and they find Mago's Sagat gameplay exciting!
The comment section gets more bipolar by the day.
Cheers.
@4
I've been playing her since super and her gameplay isn't awkward for me at all. Idk, maybe characters feel different to everyone because of everyone's different playstyle preferences. I can respect that.
@15, yeah stream monsters are kind of crazy. I hope Mago main Juri, so people can complain about juri.
Next I hope either Daigo or Mago plays Hakan/Gen/Dan/Rose - any of them, although I'm wondering how they play as Rose - but I think using low tier characters would be fun to watch.
@11
It might be just me but I find Fei to be really really boring lol. Mago's Fei is really good and all but idk it's just Fei. I didn't really finish the vidro's either lol maybe if he fought an incredibly hard match up it would have been more exciting but it came down to the opponents for me.
#7 hmm i watched a minute of it and what i saw was fireball spamming, random dive kicks and a random ex pinnwheel. No footsies no rushdown, no blockstrings. Thats pretty much what every juri scrub does. Even Juiceboxes Juri was better then the minute i have seen from Mago
Can't professional players just have fun/mess around with characters?
@Aluppoj
Yea, People here are just pathetic!
I remember when Mago started playing FeiLong everyone was "FeiLong is so cool to watch"...a few months later: "FeiLong is sooo boring to watch". It's the same with Cody; at the moment everyone is so excited to see Momochi's Cody...but wait a few months and you will see "Cody is so boring to watch" comments all over the place.
@13
I'm not sure what's "7 out 10 percent". Lol.
In my personal observation, Ryu and Ken are actually quite popular. Maybe it's cause they're the main characters, maybe it's the hadoukens, maybe it's the flamming shoryuken, maybe it's the familiarity with the moves or maybe it's cause they're easy to use. There just something about them that makes people only pick them without bothering to try anyone else even after a year and still having fun.
I suppose if you are not playing the character you like, it's cause you're priority is not fun.
@smorgasboard
Members from the Eventhubs forums tracked character usage twice on over 4,000 matches. The combined total for Ken and Ryu was roughly 25% both times. While Ryu and Ken were the two most used characters, they were not anywhere close to the "majority" ( > 50%) contrary to your claim. In fact, a majority of players (75%) do not use Ryu or Ken.
Note: The numbers were calculated during Super. Additionally, someone posted the character usage numbers for Japanese arcade during AE but I can't find it. I do recall the numbers being very similar however.
