From the looks of it when playing my games with Nick T. it’s a complete punish Ultra.
It grabs low. Has focus armor like you all know.
It comes out at the speed of fucking LIGHT.
So yeah. We’ll take one match-up like Gief vs Abel.
He can’t lariat anymore. He can’t whiff ANY of his footsies. Without reaction, Abel’s Ultra comes out too fast and will hit. Can’t reliably jump-in on Abel.
It seems Breathless is a complete “fuck you” Ultra. Over the span of many characters, it just seemed to shut down every option once you had “dat meeta.”
Nick T. played Abel 100% at FC. He literally tried out U2 on the first try. Me and him both were like, “Yeah fuck Soulless.”
His damage was upped as you all know his c.fp x roll Falling Sky does meaty damage.
Man, that move looks really silly, like in the Wrestling ring silly, and it doesn’t look painful at all. Must be the reason why it does ASSSSSSSSSSS damage. Fucking Sagats Ultra fireball does more damage. Fucking Capcom, gonna have to switch to Guy it seems. I don’t understand why they gave him another forward advancing attack, this shits unblockable right?
Wtf, it did decent damage, def. More then the tiger shot. And people are forgetting …Abel still has his OLD ULTRA…This is a NEW one. I don’t see why so many people are threatening to give up there characters just because they have a NEW thing, plus his COD safety is changed, and other things will be. And read the post above you MNo made, its twice as good as Abel’s current ultra, so who cares. And it really doesn’t look that bad, I think it looks kinda neat. Look at akuma’s… Freaking looney toon spin.
Shit >.> A tornado into a ground slam, into a backflip into the wall isn’t bad. His current ultra is a few punches and a slam
Because it’s a low grab similer to his Kick/low ending part of his Cod do you think that is what Capcom has in mind for his combo into it, if he does indeed have a way to combo into Breathless?
Or will it just be more mix up? I think Cod -> low version -> Breathless would be cool for less damage but non meter ultra.
I might just be blind but that Tiger Cannon did more damage than Abel’s torture rack. Shit looks corny man, not even remotely scary. They should have ripped off Clark and gave him the Running Three. Also Abel’s current ultra isnt just a few punches, its motherfucking[media=youtube]3XPYV0wr4lY"[/media]lol. I won’t completely ditch Abel, but I already know that I will be playing the shit out of Guy when this drops. Abel is still gonna be a fucking hastle to deal with regardless of what they do, I can feel it in my bones.
Yea sorry I kinda blew up cause ive seen 3 people saying theyd give up because of the looks of an ultra lol. But yea it does look kinda weak. But as teh person above me said I think it needs to be charged? (tiger cannon) cause it really did shit damage but idk
first of all, i think it looks cool. people have getting there hype up too much. i mean look at the ultras we have in this game. punch punch slam, fireball. i mean these ultras are a little bit more epic. second he puts them in the corner. now players can have a real hard time escaping him cuz he sets them up so well in the corner. i also hope he can tag pokes with it too, so people have to play abit more passivle when he uses it(akuma whiffing roundhouses, gief greenhand, lariat.) if what i think what it does is correct im prolly only gonna use versus like sagat, giefster, akuma, but we’ll see.
To touch back on CoD… did we see RYU try to reversal DP CoD on block, or was it just the Sagat video everyone keeps posting, that shows us nothing, since CoD was always -3, and TU has 5 frame start-up…
if Breathless starts up in six frames or less than I’d use it against Gief
Otherwise, Soulless is way too good to ever stop using. Seriously one of the top 5 best ultras in the game
Trying it out in Training mode, I could Reversal TU a LP CoD easily, MP CoD required better timing skills, but I couldn’t reversal TU the HP CoD, although I’m not sure if I was just timing it wrong or not, it’d still come up saying it was a reversal, but the Abel could block it…
You don’t need to provide any test results. The frame data speaks for itself.
You can’t reversal TU MP CoD. I don’t know what you think you were doing…
You can’t reversal HP CoD, or EX CoD. Because LP CoD leaves Abel at -7, you can reversal that, but because it leaves him at -7, no good Abel would ever use that, so in practical terms, Sagat cannot punish CoD with reversal TU.
So, for people to conclude that CoD got safer by seeing that a move that never could punish it, still can’t punish it… well… whatever.
If we can use Breathless in the same places as TT, it’ll be excellent. Also, why can you cancel it, there better be some killer combo involving cancelled ultra or something. But I doubt it.
Well it could possibly combo from c.fp, if the timing is correct. The guy playing Abel did give it a go and it whiffed - so will need to try that out.
because souless is so damn good, whenever you use it your 95% sure its going to connect and do big damage. Either from a FADC - c.fp, c.fp (second hit), through a fireball etc etc…
So i’m still thinking about breathless in the same way, rather than the other potentially more interesting uses - any idea guys?
Yeah but that guy also cancelled into an lk roll from the second hit of cr. fp which you can’t even do and expect to land abel’s current ultra. But by the looks of it it’s an armored grab that you can delay in case your opponent decides to be tricky and whiff an EX tatsu like ryu/akuma so you can simply wait for them to come down and grab them when they land. Since it’s a grab you won’t be able to juggle into it.
