There are rants in "I have no one to play online with" fashion on SRK, Heavenly Spirits, and GameFaqs boards. It seems you guys are just scattered on different forums and dont run into each other online (or dont use it at all since "no one is playing anyway")

 

[Black Shroud]

Since many people seemingly cant find online Sen competition and are scattered on different forums, I created a centralized gamertag thread for Sen players, to be used as reference:
http://spirits.kaillera.ru/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=10899&p=15137#p15137

If you play Sen, post your gamertags and I will add them. I will also post the links to this thread on several forums where Sen players can be found.

[Moreso, Sen has NO CHIP DAMAGE, which makes the muti-hit moves (mainly chip damage dealers in all the previous games) useless outside juggle combos. This goes for Charlotte's Splash Fount, Ukyo's Snowfall, Jubei's Eight Aspects Blast etc. So if opponent has 1 inch of life left, having those moves wont help you at all.

Wow, someone finally made another fighter where you can't tick someone whose low on life to death?!

I rathere enjoyed that about the Rival School games. Makes ya earn your wins.

Well that's one + for Sen if nothing else...

Alternatively, adding a specific counter button like The Last Blade (no tick damage on Speed mode) would make it more interesting.

So now, chipping is cheap?

Considering that Samurai Shodown had alot of moves primarily oriented to deal chip damage (I think every second character had a tool that could be used to deal more or less chip damage), having moves like Charlotte's Splash Fount or Ukyo's Snowfall dealing no chip damage is weird to say the least.

By your definition, all other games in franchise dont make players earn their wins. Bravo.

It's always been cheap in my opinion.

Don't mind me, it's just my prerogative.

 

[Black Shroud]

In real life if someone hits you real hard and you block that atttack, you cant say that you sustain 0 damage, and if you used up nearly all your stamina, even a blocked hit would knock you down, thus real life is cheap as well.

Yes chipping is cheap even in Darkstalkers and the SFA series if you chipped someone to death they called it a cheap finish.

 

[SNKorSWM]

If it were considered cheap, it would have been banned in tournaments.

Interesting thing about Vampire Savior was that you were awarded no points for cheap finishers.

Rather nice incentive for those who play for score.
