Usually I don't have a problem with this (I play CvS2) but a lot of the combos/tactics being used are the same, boring ones I've seen for years in older match videos. In my NorCal vs SoCal commentary at WT7 I made a comment when I had the mic that "I've seen this match before, haven't I?" was actually just a joke, but since then I actually thought, "Wait, this is true!" Alot of people use the same character the same way which makes it seem boring an monotonous. Now if people whored out those characters, but had a distinct style of playing them I wouldn't be making this post. At West Toast 7, I played 3 Akihas, by the end of the tourney and a time to sit and rest and think, I know how to win against any Akiha in the US. Also watching the people play at the finals, and how they play I know how to counter alot of these common characters (Knowing does not equal executing against them, fyi).
Agree 100 fucking percent. Playing casual MBAC at a tourny I went to and NetPlay, it has gotten to me that the same singular combo is used for every Wallachia, Akiha. It is one reason I find myself hating MBAC every time I am done with a round if NetPlay. When I had no idea how to play and I introduced a local game store to MBAC, I had a lot better time watching people learn characters and vary how they played then what I see online.
"But it works!"
Indeed it does! Keep on using the same combos again and see how long this game will live for. Keep on using the same tactics for a certain character, the game won't be able to develop.
Werd. Another thin that bugs me about the way MBAC plays.
"How can we take you seriously Mizuki, you fucking suck."
I suck too but I am seeing it as well so, proof.
