   You know my favourite part? It says, in the second combo, “see the Advanced Section for more details”. What the hell is in the Advanced Section that’s harder than this?

      It says “advance tactics” not “advanced combos” or anything scary like that.
      It looks like it refers to “ground recovery” whereby an opponent, after a knock down, can get up off the ground in one of various ways (quick stand, roll to the left, roll to the right, delayed wake up).
      Fairly straight forward concept that can encourage some mind games and be exploited as a tactic.
      Don’t worry, it looks like these are as difficult as combos will be (although I’m sure, as always, there’s some crazy stuff that’ll be created).

   I remember looking at an FAQ for Guilty Gear XX way back when and it was at that very moment I came to terms with the fact that I would never get any better at the game!

   Well for those of us who take these games to the next level, its all kinda straight forward =]

   CR – Crouching L – Light, that type of stuff looks way more complicated than it sounds. Try explaining the jump in kick then sweep kick in the same way and you see how it only looks long and complex.

   This is why I suck at MvC. They’re not even straight combos. They’re combos that have ifs and buts all through them based on what the other player does.

   Fighters these days are more and more like turn based strategy games – It’s just each turn is just .01 of a second.

      Um…. I would hope that the way I play the game changes based on what the other player is doing in a fighter….

   “this setup requires you to hyper combo-cancel into Berserker Charge”

   That’s actually a line? I feel like I’m reading a bad sci-fi novel.

    Reading the list of characters is the closest i’ll ever come to that game.

    I play games for enjoyment and just enough of a challange to stave off alzheimer’s, not for a goodbye outside world, total obsessive mind fuck.

    That looks a lot easier compared to BlazBlue as someone else pointed out. Most combos in MvC are always started with a normal crouching kick or punch before you move into the rhythm of it.

    And to be honest, try doing a complete lifebar drain in KoF. That is hard as.

    These are much, much easier than you would imagine.

    In MvC games, there is a thing called the “Magic Series” which allows you to link light attacks to hard ones without having to time the hits exactly (this is called “chains”.)

    Seriously, once you understand the difference between standing and crouching (it involves holding down 😀 ), then these combos are not really that crazy.

    Agreed, I remember when guides for fight games consisted of “walk forward and spam light punch” or versus another opponent “hit heavy punch whenever they get close.”

    never saw the point of doing long combos, simple button mashing will get your job done. Might be useful for harder modes however…
