ah man, I wanted the Yun army to stay small and compact, now there’s gonna be tons of Yuns tier whoring once ultra hits.
Don’t worry, they’ll disappear again. I only dropped Yun for Cammy because I like my divekicks being +60 on block.
I just seen another video which shows Yun using Ex Shoulder to punish a fireball and then cancelling into Red Focus… A pretty neat application right there!
Not really been discussed therefore thought I would mention it even though Im sure its been in a few peoples minds.
Something i’ve seen Kazunoko do recently is cr.mp > TC > lp.shoulder blockstring, it’s both a frametrap and a hitconfirm, builds approx. half a bar on block and TC > lp.shoulder is obviously a true blockstring on top of that.
I didn’t know crMP left you in range for that.
That’s really good.
Yeah point blank cr.mp is OP lol, in range for throw too, you’re basically still right next to them.
Was it just a rumor that the landing frames were reverted??
Someone from here tested it at ETC apparently, but so far we have no official confirmation from capcom.
It’s something a bit hard to be sure when testing I think
I do not believe the landing frames were reverted
Yeah I’m wondering how you can test something like that? I HOPE THEY WERE REVERTED… but I doubt it =[ also thanks for the cr.mp , TC xx lp shoulder tip I like that. Is TC xx lp shoulder really a true blockstring? A lot of good players in my area eat me for doing mp xx lp shoulder…
Finally got time off to travel, so I went down to NY to try out ultra.
After getting pressured to death by Oni on stream, I found out that Yun heavy dragon kick is fully hit invincible again. However it’s not throw invincible. I’ve also tested out the dive kick and it’s still 6f recovery.
Thats good to hear, shame about the divekick… it would have been a nice bonus but certainly happy that hk dp is hit invincible still.
Yes really a true block, the only time the opponent can get a reversal in is the 1 frame gap between cmp and slp, if the cmp is meaty then its a full blockstring.
Yun HK being fully Hit invincible is good enough
Sudden interest in Yun again, and those videos of late about killing Akuma seem useless, or am I missing something? They require a reset.
looks like not only is Yun getting his HK upkicks invicibility nerf removed and his cmd grab throw range nerf removed, but his j.mk can now crossup opponents (who knows how good of a crossup it will be though) and his ex rush punch is now +1. Also seems like the divekick buff was removed.
Final Changelist:
Yun
Far Standing MP damage increased by 10 (50 → 60)
Crouching MP damage increased by 10 (50 → 60)
Jumping MK active frames reduced by 4 (8F → 4F); Crosses up more often
All versions of Zenpo Tenshin now do 1 damage (0 → 1)
Ex Zesshou Hohou advantage on block increased by 2 frames (-1F → +1F)
From Capcom Unity
Didn’t notice there ever was a divekick buff. But I’m also so stupid that it took me almost a week of playing Yun to realize I wasn’t making bad jumps, his j.mk just doesn’t crossup.
I suggested +1 on Ex lunge punch and Cross up MK and yall called me crazy lmao. They should have kept his DP nerfed I think. Would make for more smarter play. Guess my crying paid off. He’s a top 10 character with these changes I think. And not because of Red focus which I think is a little overrated on Yun considering he has Genei Jin. Not that it’s not useful because it is, it gives him more options. I do wish his DP was nerfed now though.
Damn them changes. I was expecting with the arcade Ultra version Yun would be in top 15, but now I’d say he could be top 5. The only thing stopping him from the top 2 is T Hawk and Sagat being good. Damn Now everyone is going to get back on the Yun train lol…
I sort of dont like the +1 ex lunge… I mean sure ill abuse it but… its something thats so brain dead that we will see the yun army grow again and shouts of autopilot appear. Would have rather had the divekick buff.
Either way, Im happy hes definite top tier again (also thought he was top tier in 2012 but it was debatable).
I still call you crazy, EX lunge +1 is OP, looks like were getting in free. If you’re good at delay tech, your REALLY getting in for free.
Nope he would definitely be top 3, if not the best character in the game. Ex shoulder under fireballs, ex red focus, dash forward, ultra 1, + more. Don’t underestimate how much Red focus and these buffs help him.
I truly hope some of these changes aren’t for real… I want this to remain the Yun brigade, not a Yun army.
