Let me tell you what I thought ranged weapons were going to do with a comparison to another game that seems incomparable: Minecraft. Also, you know those fights where you're at 1 hp and you come back and annihilate them? those are a thing of the past cause now, they chuck one thing at you and you die. so much reaction and split second decision making.duck. SF3 is all about reacting in a split second, immediately pressing the advantage, and falling back when you need to. Honestly, go play duck hunt or something, not a melee skill intensive game. Naturally, I often like to take advantage of that and do the lunge move at them again where they can't press me. Let's say I knock my opponent back with a katana or something. Combos that aren't instant aren't a thing anymore. Oh you just finished a trade with them where you came out on top? Good luck pressing the advantage when you have to -you guessed it -duck.

And everytime it's up for them, I have to duck. A lot of 'people' I play basically for the first few seconds of the game throw three shurikens. It slows down the game and creates the loss of intensity So they just get an extra weapon that happens to be completely safe to use. They can weave these attacks in between trades, and if you don't duck, you just lose. And then they hit you with a ranged weapon crit and you take 20% of your hp, if not more. And by the way, your ranged weapon? It tickles them. Remember, the person who gap closes usually loses the trade, so you have to stand and either just duck a lot or take a LOT of damage. Now imagine them having a ranged weapon where they can stand a mile away from you and spam. I mean like 1000-2000 power higher than you, and you literally do negative damage to that. You remember when you got matched up with those stupidly high power guys right? If you're at least competent, you know what I'm talking about. It slows down the game so much and makes it lose a lot of intensity It benefits pay to win players/the AI waaaay too muchĢ.

Okay, now you know that I'm at least decent at the game. I've beaten all the chapters on impossible or insane difficulty. I haven't played that long, but I know just about everything that happens in the community around SF3, the meta, the AI which pretend to be human players, the legendary chest trick, the two hidden jump kicks etc. I'm around 2k trophies with 3500 power if I include weapon power. Before I start, let me introduce myself to convince you that I know what I'm talking about.
