ESF 1.3 Flash Tutorial.

Is it possible that the first release of 1.3 will have included a little flash tutorial like 1.1 had? Because I know when I first played ESF 1.2, I was owned, didn't know a thing about the game, melee and stuff. I bet 1.3 will have even more changes, so will someone make a tut? Thanks.

This isn't the "final" release so theres probably going to be even some more stuff added who knows. So probably at this time there might be instructions on how to do things in the sub forum or whatever is being planned to handle the open beta questions/bugs.

If you need help join IRC at irc.gamesurge.net and join #esf-help that is the official help channel of ESF and ask your question in there when the time does arrive. Remember do not "idle" in #esf-help you will just be kicked out after a duration of minutes if your not talking.

Okay, but if you know anything about it, please PM me. Just tell me why, I won't get pissed.

I thought 1.3 IS going to be the final release. They're going to release more versions?

No. ESF 1.3 is the last release, but what they're releasing is testing versions of ESF 1.3. So, what the community is getting is not the final build of ESF 1.3, just the testing version.

I dont want to dissapoint you much but,
1.3 isnt going to be THAT different from 1.2.? ..

and to be honest, the "Pro-Gaming" in ESF is always going to stay the same.
even if they did add more "eye-candy functions" to attract more noobies.
It wont matter to you atall, since in actual 1v1's or official matches.
everything is pre-determined and rules will be same for each country.
thus most used melee will still be 1.1 basic melee, they might change it abit but it will be the same for us..
after 2 days of getting used to the new features youll be as good as you were at 1.2


<-- my opinion !

Yes, ESF 1.3 will be much different than ESF 1.2. The whole melee system is being reworked, new models, FX system, buddy system, and so on. Besides, you can't say anything yet until you've tried it, and as cliche as that sounds on these forums, it's something to stick by.

A "pro" doesn't use the same tactics from an outdated version just because they worked long ago. A "pro" learns to adapt, and uses what is given to him. Trust me when I say you're going to have to do quite a bit of adapting in 1.3.

*Attempts to get the thread back on topic*

Just wait until the final release. I'm sure someone will have a tutorial out by then, or several.

+ i suggested this about the flash thing but i was only refering to the new melee system .. when you post a thread be sure 2 check with the search button if others asked about something before you ...

and Yoruichi ... bealive us there's alot going on for this new version wich will change the tactics of the ones who play this .... because in 1.2 everyone prefered not to use advanced melee because it was too static and it was only a matter of luck and i mean .... it was just taping the correct arrow .... but if you would read the design documents you would see that the new advanced melee in 1.3 ( when it's done .... because in the beta of the beta that will be realeased there's no guarantee that the new melee will be incorporated or at least fully debuged ) is more like prince of persia style ( more or less ) bataling out in real-time , dodging , atacking when you please doing your own combos like teleporting behind your enemy atacking from the back and your enemy might have predicted that so he teleports to dodge and atacks with a normal ki ball ... etc etc ....

I think the best totorial it's to lear it I don't think it's that hard

The final version will probably have an in game tutorial.

But as said. This is not a release. Its more like a window for the community to see whats going on and help with the development.

Yer, all of this will be nice. Noobs don't have to come to us saying, " How to we play". Perhaps you can make it when they join a server or make a server of there own, that a screen popping up telling them if they want to try out this tutorial. Btw, welcome back Grega, a bit of a surprise eh? >_>

Let's get one thing straight: If you meant I was a n00b, Guzzie, then you're wrong. I just dont wanna waste my time learning how to play the game when I've played it a million times. So just a tutorial with all the new features.

Hey, Grega's back from being Possessed!

So, with this open source beta, it's like loads of little releases? Wow.
A tutorial may come along at some point but if John gets better at making them (the 1.2.3 one was alright), he could do it if he wanted.

I hope to God it does. That would probably be the most helpful thing / best feature ESF team could implement. I can't begin to imagine how many players quit this game because they're getting owned or don't want to take the time to learn the game.

@Yoruichi: Based on your post, i'm under the impression that you've never played 1.0 or 1.1. The jump from 1.1 to 1.2 was imense, you had to adapt, the rules changed. About the rules being the same in each country, America has different rules in 1 v 1's than Europe does.

don't know who xin is but kai and raik are an excuse for exploiting. And most of the pros follow them.

In any case he never said he was a pro. He just said a real pro adapts to the new stuff. If you cant do that than its your problem.

I like how you follow me around in this forum, despite not knowing who I am. Keep talking big, kid. If you can't adapt, you're not a pro. If you think using a gen beam is a sin, you're not a pro. If you will only fight under certain conditions, you're not a pro.

Have I upset you with these words? Then you're probably not a pro.

Oh snap.
