I love how effortless juri is compared to cammy... Wow
Wow @ MLG increasing MK prize pool to $34,000 in a couple of weeks....imagine how large SF4/Marvel/SfxT pools could be if Mr.Wizard wasn't such a tool.
At the same time, people just learned about MLG's rule involving extended series instead of traditional Grand Finals. Been amusing watching the blow up.
Dammit Deejay/ThoseGuys maybe I'll use Hwoarang afterall...
I was a Juri main for the short while I played SF4 so it's nice to see her being a respectable force in this game.
Rufus/Law, we're in there.
In all seriousness, the reason why I went with Hwoarang is because I was a huge Kim player in KOF. He feels sort of similar. That being said, after starting to get in depth with him, I'm really pleased with his tools. The vid gave me some more ideas, like tagging out off HK Hunting Hawk instead of going for the usual EX HH > J.HK > HK Sky Rocket. Makes me wonder if J.HK > c.MK > HK Hunting Hawk is possible.
you do know there is no poke/move you can link close HK right? you can only combo into close HK from a jump in hit and its very shity as a counterpoke. You CANT cancel cl.Hk from a chain combo... so so MP chain----> HK ----> jump cancel doesnt work... It wont let you jump. Imho its situational and only use full if you get a Jump in hit. or if you want to confuse the oponent after a knockdown by leting it block on purpose.
Well its clear why capcom didnt let it be SJ cancelable after a chain combo, that would just scream for an infinite combo setup ¬.¬
SF chars that are a bit too strong:
Ryu
Rufus
SF chars that are fine:
Juri
Rolento
Abel
Hugo
SF chars that are okeish but need some help:
Cammy: either give her her SSFIV instant cannon strike back, or make it an overhead move (at the current state its so fuckign slow, I dont understand why its NOT an overhead) and less punishable.
SF chars in dire need for help...
Poison: she lacks in almost every aspect. Strengthen her zoneing game by makeing the fireballs stronger and extending her LP fireball range to full screen. Buff her pokes. Option2: give her a fucking good SRK. She has no real good reversal at her desposal...
Chun-Li: I dont know where to start... yes her pokes are good but her special moves suck. She is a HORRIBLE Tag partner (this applies to poison too). She has too little damage potential. If your spinning bird kick gets blocked and you tag in your partner for safety... guess what. She stops hitting instantly the oponent and flies through, giving them time to punish your partner. She only keeps hiting if it actually connect. Her EX Hashanshu is near impossible to use a tag combo extender (I never got it to work). And I fucking hate her new quarter circly lightning kick move. Imho she needs a little bit of a dmg buff and some fundamental changes in her battle plan:
1. dont make a normal SBK fly through your oponent (stop hiting the oponent) when its blocked and you tag your partner in.
2. give EX SBK better AA propertys and make it wooping wall bounce for follow ups on your partner.
3. extend the ground bounce on EX hasanshu makeing it actually possible to combo it to something when you switch in your tag partner
SF chars that should be exterminated from the game:
Ibuki: yes its that bad
as for the rest of teh SF char I dont any experience, but just looking from matches they seem to fall under the shit category (chun poison) or under the okeish category
and I am starting to like this game more and more and am getting the hang out of it. Hworang with Cammy is insane. But looking at that video I am thinking about juri now lol
I'll play you with my Ibuki. Anyone think he will change his mind? LOL
Easy Vortex with Gate:
Edit: Btw - if they jump to get out of gate, you just start with back+MP instead of cr.LP.
Her anti-air is probably one of the best in the entire game (top body invincible) and leads to huge damage without meter or can lead to Super.
Being said, she is low tier, but I'll just be winning with low tier, lol.
Wow, nice. Xiao x Ibuki looks like they'll be an annoying pair too.
I haven't met anyone on here yet that can deal with her standing LP pressure. Do you have 360?
Fuck your ibuki pressure. ಠ_ಠ
Did anyone on the forums try king yet? I swear he will be mid-high tier.
Anyone try ogre?
I have a feeling Ogre will be straight broken in this game in the right hands. Saw a bit of FilthieRich playing him during Cross Assault. Ogre has so many high/low mixups in this game it's not even funny.
GDI calli, don't say this because I don't want to have to choose an unbroken character.![]()
Not many people are playing Ogre, from what I've seen.
They will be after a tournament or two.
Right now it's a Juri/Rolento/Hwoarang/Rufus bandwagon. Rolento is legit, Juri is just a troll character that will be figured out, and Hwoarang still needs more datas.
The REAL threat amongst these characters is Rufus. Dive kick openings too strong.
