[@steveweast475]

Sorry I didn't have the time to make this letter any shorter

[@schnabeltiertv]

where I live, there is this homeless guy I sometimes see on the street. Through years of never brushing it, his hair turned into what looks like one single dreadlock and starfires hair looks just like that.

[@sirreginaldfishingtonxvii6149]

It's the optimal strategy. Whip someone with that and they get knocked out cold. That thing's a monster of a weapon. The deadlock.

[@Nparalelo]

Thinking about it, her super does tell something about her character: she's a heroine. She lunches you into space, as far away from the earth as possible, before launching her ultimate attack, which would otherwise destroy an entire city. So, nice storytelling through gameplay there. Also, it is a reference to the opening of Teen Titans. But yeah, it could be way better.

[@Stolanis]

I know it's a long time since the posting of this video, but even so I'm *SO* happy to have found someone who nails down exactly what's wrong with NRS's flying characters. I like how they updated Ermac's look for MKX so he isn't just Red Palette Swap Ninja anymore (although I preferred the initial concept art that made him look like some kinda magical Scarecrow figure), but the one thing that really turned me off to him was how he moves: he just kinda *drifts* around in the air without any sense of dynamism or intent - it doesn't feel like he's flying so much as just floating around like a leaf on whatever wind currents catch him. You could argue that Ermac isn't supposed to look physically dynamic because he's more of a mage than a full-contact fighter, but that *definitely* is not true where Starfire's concerned - when she punches you, you stay punched, and as this video points out she has the same problems that Ermac does in lack of weight and force. NRS, I love your character designs (most of them), but the animations just don't do them justice.

[@Rhannmah]

3:00 i was literally about to say that the hair in the comics really remind me of how Answer's scarf moves (and it moves beautifully)

[@CoxTH]

How to fix her super: Enemy slams with his back into an asteroid, Starfire grabs him by the neck and then decides to go boom.

[@snuffysam]

Or she could just speed herself up to fly past the opponent, then make an explosion as the enemy flies into her. Use that “the enemy should continue moving at the same speed” idea to her advantage

[@pochiluis0570]

Her hair is just hair on fire instead of hair made of fire

[@ToyRanno]

The super should have ended by having the opponent it in asteroid having Starfire grab them flip them towards Earth then activate the self-destruct spirit bomb thing, giving a reason for them to be halted and having them be redirected back to earth

[@jamesmatthews2166]

Starfire has 1 projectile: she looks like a zoner Batman has 2-3 projectiles: rushdown as fuck

[@Rylopero]

IKR. Making assumptions before she even comes out. She looks like she has a lot of rushdown potential. If he was looking for a batgirl-like character, i know shes not as hard hitting, but Supergirl can do the job. Honeybee mixed up the meta with Flash. Who the hell plays Deadshot anymore? A lot of his opinions were very biased. I didnt see a problem with the floating hit mechanics. The hair was nitpicky at best. And like we mentioned, we've barely even seen her play. If anything, she looks like she plays a lot like Hawkgirl did

[@jamesmatthews2166]

Badluck_ Ryan god bless you and the fact that they force her to come down from her flight if u use her starbolts and she seems like she will be like similar to batgirl in that she completely changes the meta dude to the fact that she can fly over projectiles

[@Adobedits]

James Matthews Aaaaaand look how Starfire turned out. Probably 2nd best zoner in the game.

[@XxzanesterxX]

So this is the dude proliferating the idea that netherealms animations suck. Well they do and it's about time they change. You mentioned arcsys animations in your Rock Howard video and I'd like to see some positivity on this channel. GuiltyGear and Blazblue are downright gorgeous. Blazblue continuum shift was my first anime fighter and I was immediately struck by litchi and tager's incredible animation.

[@dylancross1039]

Zed And let's be honest. When it comes to Grapplers nobody does it better than Tager

[@midenarithmos9200]

Can we talk about fedora guy who fights with Michael Jackson dancing moves while using butterfly knifes as his weapon? Obviously I'm talking bout Hazama here, He has one smooth -criminal- and good smears movements (well every other cast has it too, but I personally think Hazama is the best one) that honestly feels satisfying to use and watch. Especially his coat, gotta love how his movement paired with his coat making the move even more graceful to see. (And if someone wants to animate cape motion then look no further than Terumi, the guy has long ass coat that flails everywhere but doesn't look random at all)

[@Skallva]

@@midenarithmos9200 Hazzy's smooth amimations are one of the reasons I main him. Every single one of his moves feels like an incredibly stylish taunt and I love how he wins his fights by literally dancing on his opponents. He's way too much fun to play and watch, that's a sin in and of itself.

[@midenarithmos9200]

@@Skallva yep, While everybody busy hitting each other, Hazama over here busy Dancing. His combos doesn't look like Ragna or Terumi which is brutally hitting people, but a smooth graceful movement that connects with each other. And when He got hit, he doesn't screams in pain or having painful expression. He keeps composed and mocking the enemy with His sarcastic screams and taunts. And by far, the best idle animation in BlazBlue (including Terumi) Even when doing nothing His idle animation feels like mocking You when You're down on the ground. Hazama is just a wonder to see and play as.

[@sunthi9619]

nobody who plays bb would say they did good job with tager lmao. hes gimmicky as fuck

[@migueeeelet]

Another thing with Starfire's hair: It should be curving upwards, because of the fire. The comic covers depict her in motion (hence the trail) so her hair doesn't have to follow this rule. But when she's idle? Definitely have that thing rise up. Maybe have it do like Answer's scarf and mimic her path, showcasing her flying speed.

[@tristancarter4324]

all they had to do is study how hair reacts in water kinda like the ghost from Dark Shadows and have it be more unruly also showing game cues in visual telling is great to have so they could of made her hair be more in flame in reference to her beam meter so when full her hair is basically a flame and when low it like a simmer at the ends of the strands

[@nobrainz9222]

For some reason you sound like Maximilian Dood for the beginning of the video... Genuinely creeped me out for a minute there

[@themocaw]

I mean, one quick fix they could have done would have been to include an invisible portion of the hair below the visible portion that does nothing but spawn more particles, so that it looks like her hair kind of dissolves into particles down to her feet or so.

[@ainowallen]

that Synphogear instrumental (from S3 i think) music at the begining Hyped me a lot ! Even before starting to watch the content xD

[@jamesmatthews2166]

Red hood is optimal as a anti zoner and set up character and well the current strategy is zoning but the top zoners are goin to get nerfed in the next balance patch and if u havnt notices the only zoner that can actually deal with starfires air mobility is deadshot who will also get nerfed

[@tpalabra6568]

Ehhh, meta's still haven't changed. See, the problem with these characters is at its core, so I don't think these problems can be solved with balance patches.

[@tristancarter4324]

@@tpalabra6568 the problem with zoning in these games is that they 1 do to much dmg or too weak 2 combos in these games are so long and as such when u have a combo breaker mechanic how do u balance how combo heavy characters would challenge them A good fighting game should have no matchups worst than 4-6 so every person in the roster should have a 45% chance to win out of 10 versus any member if not then it will be a problem that will only gets worst Also another thing I'm hating now in games is skill cap like overall games try to lean to a casuly approach but when you have a character that do 50% health in 5 moves versus on who have triple the inputs and only do barely 30% dmg then your games bad I shouldn't have the only reason I play a character is that I like how the look when it one who plays the same functionally just better

To me it looks like her hair is on fire, when it should look like her hair IS fire.

[@kennetharias6601]

"Quick Rant" = 12 minute run time? Hmm...

[@0ctopusComp1etely]

Honestly if they just had a gradiant that made the types into effectively pure, blinding yellow/ orange by the end, it would be hard enough to distinguish between the fire effects and the "solid" hair that it could have been an easy way to cheese the effect. I'm baffled they didn't at least do that much. They could even make it stretch or look like it's extended when she moves really fast, matching the fire effect they already have. It would definitely need work, but I think it would have sold some of the speed and flair.

[@dracocrusher]

Easy way to fix the super: #1- The enemy is blasted into space and ends up slamming against a meteor, which causes they to bounce back slightly. Not only is this another hit to make the move feel stronger, it would also be pretty easy to just throw in there since they've already got plenty of meteor assets to pull from. Which leads to the other change.... #2- Have Starfire fly around behind them before activating the blast. It's another few frames of animation, but that's not really a bit deal at all because we now have a bit more time to work with because of the whole "bouncing off the meteor" thing. So if Starfire floats around without moving for a second during that before causing the blast, then that'd make complete since because the match always has to end on the ground AND because it could be done to make it seem like Starfire's figuratively skidding to a stop with her flight in space after flying in one direction so hard for so long.

[@mismismism]

Yeah, weird minor things that seem like they could have been tweaked. I wish her hair flowed like that, it woulda been dope. And yeah, the super, just have her super charge the beam when it hits to make a huge explosion under them, then have them gain speed on each laser hit and stop by slamming into one of the huge asteroids that are already there.

[@super_cyb0rg226]

First, they should have put so muich more emphjasis on the acceleration that they're doing and realize and then at the climax, if they did a Zack Snyder time slow as she zips full speed right past her opponent and then sends them back to earth with the explosion coming from the _other_ direction. I feel like it has a much more logical feel to it.

[@RockLegend2A]

I fucking hate how she looks in this game, and I'm a huge fan of both the comics Starfire and *especially* the Teen Titans Starfire.

[@robdermeister3916]

...I guess a wizard did it.

[@Tachyon836]

In the comics, starfires hair only extends out like that when flying. It's not an actual looping and curling length of plasma. It's a contrail of where she has flown prior before to getting where you see her currently. If they would've had her idle animation have 6ft of flaming hair animated in some cycle behind her it would've been canonically incorrect.

[@mermalade_]

It isn't that there needs to be 6 feet of flames, but the fact that her hair does whatever it wants to do in the physics engine instead of being key- framed really takes away from the readability of the action. See the Necali video on hair and dynamic engines. Furthermore, according to what you have stated, then they have already made her canonically incorrect by having her hair clumped and flaming at all times, including when she is idle. The fact of the matter is that they took hair material, added gradient to the last third of it and just added a particle effect, instead of the hair material turning into the flame particles.

[@Tachyon836]

Why do you need to read her hair? There is like one attack where she actually uses her hair you have to combo into it anyway for it to be effective. It's range isn't deceptive and it's super easy to avoid. If you can't read it, that's on you. And no, her hair does more or less resemble that in the comics. Again, it's not always super long. It just appears to be on fire. You can judge the animation, but it's like that to stay accurate. In moves where she flies, you can see her hair elongate and look more like the contrail.

[@marshalmaycry9063]

so i re-watched all your NRS animation critique videos and while i think you're a little too hard on them at time, i can also recognize that i'm bias, i really hope that they improve in the ways you've pointed cause i love the game and some characters have just been so off putting due to how they move. Like, on paper they are my type of character but in game i'm just so disinterested. watching your videos helped show me why. so while is a year late and you might not read it. i'd really enjoy watching more Critiques like this on NRS and maybe some time you could do one how they got things right, i mean you praise street fighter so often and game isn't perfect or winning awards

[@phantomgg7790]

On your thoughts on game balance. Seeing how games like league of legends during season 6 and 7have completely defined the meta of mid laners by "who can nuke minion waves the fastest". Which fills the duty of what league players call. "Wave clearing" It just makes me wish game balancers in anything that resembles fighting games would go by the rules of launch date. "Okay six zoners, six melles, and six of something else" keep the roster evened out and well distributed, but so often the balancers show biased and favortism towards creating certain stratagies and it just really ruins the games.

[@Hpalhazred]

For a DLC character, they didnt put much effort on her animation!!! but Atom is way worst.

[@itsleonard9234]

I like the hair. But it wasn't Nov NH everywhere like Tyler said it was

[@Tachyon836]

Starbolts aren't lasers, they're explosive energy. Small ones act like bursts of radiation. Bigger ones are massive explosions. That initial blast is super powerful because it's her beam, not a one single starbolt. The big explosion at the end should tick you to the kind of explosive power she can generate. She disintegrated multiple asteroids as well in that. Not even a nuke could do that.

[@mermalade_]

NRS could have added an explosion effect to help with the reading of that attack. Again, not nitpicking the character strength. Just the design decisions that went into making the character

[@Tachyon836]

You don't gotta read it, just know that it's a blast that you need to block. What does that statement even mean? Like how is it not able to be read? It's a beam. It moves, block the beam. You need a clue it's a big explosion? It shouldn't matter what it is, just don't get hit by it. Like what? Even if on hit the explosion seems too small, so what? You don't gotta know where it's going, not like you can do anything. The animation is playing out. I mean where's the explosion when Superman punches you into the sky? Or when you hit the ground from Batman's super? It's pointless to nitpick on stuff like that. It doesn't matter. It's not some inconsistency or evil for attacks to look weaker than they actually are. It's a staple within fiction actually. Whenever Superman punches someone, you don't think it's going to send them through 8 buildings based on how it looks. But you know because it's Superman it's that strong. Same basic principle, even works nicely because Starfire is an alien just like Superman and her power source is the sun. Just like Superman.

[@marshalmaycry9063]

Beni calm down😆 u don't *need* Starfire's hair to unclump either, but people kinda want it to not be a big clump😅 get it?

[@wickedjester3330]

It's supposed to be realistic not a comic book your critiquing a character that no one hasn't even played yet. you don't even know if her armor pieces will change her hairstyle or even her suit yeah you can have your own opinion but your pulling in other games to make a rant and coincide with injustice 2 that yiu cant make and also you spoke on her movement her movement is how it is in the comics floating and or even flying in the air. You also brung in marvel and you can't bring in marvel either because this is a dc video game not a marvel video game. And finnally to get to get ultimate you talk about her not being in one frame but in injustice 1 superman does the same exact thing. You bring in physics this is a videogame not a science fair. Also she is a zoning character you should've known that. You hate starfire but you haven't even played it so your whole discussion and rant is really flawed.

Quick FYI on EVO and zoning: Took another look at top 64, there were ~4 Deadshots total. None made top 8. Black Adam shows up a lot. In top 8, Tekken Master's Adam got blown up and his other appearances were pocket picks which also got blown up. Catwoman is considered top tier because she has tools to negate zoning and do tremendous damage for it. Aquaman won, but zoning wasn't the problem. Trident Rush was. Yes, Flash got second, but it was because Honeybee is really, really good and he was using trait in ways too few other people are. Anyways, people are largely figuring out how to defeat zoning in this game, and the game is actually moving away from projectile spam fests and becoming pretty dynamic. Maybe not quite as dynamic as GG, which you really like, but hey.

[@aclosh2983]

I know im late, but, the problem never was high level play they can figure out any matchup even if is 7/3, the problem is the casual or the not that advanced players who just get zoned out to oblivion making the game extremely boring, if u never get to see your character do cool shit or the other character doing cool shit, then is boring, the same problem people had with guile in sfv

[@BainesMkII]

I have to disagree about Starfire's face being one of the better ones; the first thing I thought upon seeing her was just how bad her face was. As for her super, I expected the asteroids to be there for the opponent to slam into one of them. It was a let-down to see the opponent just drift to an unexplained stop. The unexplained return to Earth was a further disappointment, particularly as the solution would have been so simple. All they had to do was put Starfire on the other side of the opponent before doing the final blast. Like: Opponent slams into an asteroid, Starfire catches up and grabs the stunned opponent (either pulling them out of the rock or catching them on the rebound from impact), spins around 180 degrees (so the opponent's back is to the Earth), then does the big blast while letting go (so the opponent would naturally be blasted back towards the Earth.)

This will not only match how the person flies back to earth, but also not give me an aneurysm because SOMETHING THAT HAD FORCE APPLIED TO IN SPACE CAME TO A HALT OUT OF NO WHERE!!!

She does so many spinning attacks, yet not a single time there is an animation where she gets like a ring of fire around her thanks to her hair swinging around. You'd think they made all those spinning animations specifically for that, but I guess not.

[@psv2]

Here's how her finisher should go: 1) She uppercuts with an energy-charged punch OR blast 2) As she flies up, the background should change from blue to white to dark indigo-violet (no black since she's dulled out) to show her going up in the sky, leaving the atmosphere, and flying into space. She should also have a slight orange glow from her hair. 3) Have her quick charge after the few blasts she pelts her opponent with instead of stopping to charge up and explode in outer space.

8:18 ISH. Her left hand blast isn't lined up correctly. Best seen I. The slow Mo segment

[@NIN10dohNUTS75]

Wow even Teen Titans Go gets her wispiness right

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

There are comments across the spectrum of that show (I watch and enjoy as well as looking forward to the movie), but a generally positive aspect is their use of Flash Animation. It’s incredibly fluid all the way down to their walking. The fact that NRS’ MK9 and XL and Injustice series looks so stiff is puzzling.

[@Rylopero]

Starfire plays like Hawkgirl. She has a lot of rushdown potential

[@Adobedits]

Badluck_ Ryan hahahaha

[@just_2swift]

Adobedits hehehehehe

[@JordanJumpin]

I can’t unsee the soggy Cheeto hair now lol

[@vocalcalibration8033]

Yeah that looks bad.. .I've always thoughts so but could never really pin why.

[@thedude3065]

I'd be more upset about sub zero

[@ChromaLuke]

After watching Starfire's weird super, I think this is how it should go: Starfire flies towards her opponent and punches them once or twice before delivering an uppercut that would send them to space. Then her flying to space and chucking laser balls at them remain the same, but after that, instead of a self-destruct wave, she would fly behind the opponent, hit them to send them flying back down, and fire a large beam of laser at them dealing tons of hits, sending them back to Earth(or whatever platform they're fighting on).

[@InterstellarBountyHunter521]

ChromaLuke I like the idea of the punches and then the uppercut. Like u said she should still do the blasts that knock you into space but after that, she should grab the flying opponents feet and throw them back toward the earth, finishing the super by tossing a condensed ball of stardust that results in the supernova-like explosion. (I wouldn't do the giant laser at the end because of supergirls super)

[@Gyork_]

I think they should've tapered a bit as a quick solution if they didn't wanted to sacrifice realism by swirling it and watnot

[@valcliffb8558]

What the actual hell is the point of her sending the opponent into outer-fuckin-SPACE if they're just gonna land back neatly into that boiler room? It's not as if the environments don't change once someone gets knocked into a different zone....

[@jasonalen7459]

I too hate it when video game designers get space physics wrong Don't worry, you're not the only one ;)

[@princesssleepyhead8043]

*except this attack this looks good* I don't think that made it into the final game

[@ddranimestyle]

It looks like a blurry, pixelated jpeg you thought had a transparent background until you imported it into photoshop.

[@alevtinamikhailov1537]

Injustice is fun if you're just being dumb and never look into these crap. But when you do, the game is actually crap. Japanese fighting games FTW.

[@elliotterodriguez]

Icer Zerocool way more fun when you start getting into it unlike Injustice 2 it feels like a crappy version of SF4 with comic book characters sprinkled in. I couldn't get dog shit playing this game.

[@milkmanlennyface3639]

Icer Zerocool WEEEEB

[@leorickaldana366]

I agree. I enjoy Japanese/Japanese-Inspired Fighting Games more because their attack animations just look way more believable.

[@KusanagiXV]

We're not weebs (except me) its just Japan makes better shit tbh

[@dylancross1039]

GardenHoseblanka1 "Functional" as in it functions if you don't know how the human body moves at all

[@deviousdelibird]

The annoying thing about Starfire's hair (in her original 80s comic book series) is that it only glows when she's in motion. So if the studio was concerned about the amount of work her hair would take, they gave themselves MORE work with the permenant flaming raccoon hairdo.

[@howareyoumoreofaclownthanme]

I'm not trying to defend the animation, just offering a possible idea for what they were going for. It doesn't work for the majority of the roster but I can reasonably believe people like Superman or Supergirl or Wonder Woman screeching to a halt to try to get a hold on the situation again. After all, they regularly fight in space. Doesn't fucking explain how Robin, Catwoman and Batman would stop, but they managed to cover... some of their roster.

[@VieneLea]

Thanks a lot for this video, it was really fun to watch

[@everythingperidot2144]

probably gear peace for hair

[@joshmc1104]

Imagine starfires hair looking like the scarf from shinobi on ps2

[@PopeFireTheStarfireGod]

StarFires classic costume is freaking god .

[@yikes6758]

i dont think answer's scarf is actually determined by a physics engine; I think it's IK rigged, and it's pulled along a path by answer's root skeleton. I figure if you froze answer in the air, the scarf would hold whatever position it was in when you froze him. Make a 20-bone long IK-rigged skeleton, just in a straight line, and pull it around, and you'll get a similar effect.
