[quote name='JEKKI']yeay rite! dont u kno???
whenever u play aginst a character, u gotta build your stack up in accordance to how hey drop gems.
that's why it's like the only character worth playing as is Ken becoz if u choose someone else they can easily build a counter against you.[/quote]
according to my friend (moondabor), he said there's pretty much one way of playing: an escape stack and an attack stack.
also, dan is playable. if you only attack with large attacks, you're betting that the opponent doesn't get a red gem.
interesting decision on the diamond trick. according to my friend, they softbanned it at AI... people knew about it but didn't use it. i think it's a bad decision. diamonds, imo, were meant as escapes, not as attacks, which is why i felt that the 50% atk was fair.
