AE 2013 Yang wishlist

I hope you’re right man, that Rekka nerf for Fei was too much.

About Yang, giving him better walkspeed + 3f s.lk is insane, he’ll be able to whiff punish even better than Fei, which is crazy to think.

As a Rufus/Yang player, sweeeet!

IIRC the walking speed is for a majority of the cast across the board. The video said his short was increased but not as good as AE, so I will safely assume it is around a 4 frame start up. But because of the far strong changes and the hitbox range increased on his jumping forward, this will open up a variety of frame traps especially since his walking speed has increased.

How will the new walk speed affect his super?

Increased walk speed + jabs = stutter step jab pressure for days!

Well it helps with the resets. I doubt it’ll change anything about his super loops though. They’re mostly done by dashing or by LK Teleport.

I thought about this for a bit, maybe while in SeibuEnbu two standing strongs mach dash short repeat, or two standing strongs strong rekka far standing strong. We will just wait and see.

I went back to my old main Chun after 2012 came out because I like a solid ground game that Yang lacked after the update.

I’m glad they are giving him a lot more tools to work the ground now. Have to go back to him. 2013 can’t come early enough

Yang has a strong ground game. It requires a lot of practice and knowing frame traps, safe divekicks, and especially not over extending block strings. This also comes with knowing the match up. Just because he isn’t on par or as simple as some of the other characters, it does not hurt putting in the effort knowing the characters Yang is up against their strengths and weakness.

A damage buff is always great. But just as a side note, doesn’t anybody think that Yang being a Stun monster sounds better? Either way, the buffs so far look sweet. Can’t wait for some more buffs to make him on par with the rest of the cast.

P.S. Oh please don’t nerf Fei’s rekkas; giving Yang the tools Fei will lack with changes like those will bring in a flood of Yang players in the next update! D:
Lol, not to sound like a greedy bas*ard, but I like it when fewer people play with the character(s) I roll with. :smiley:

I also preferred a damage buff instead of the changes he’s getting. I feel that his mixup game right now isn’t bad at all, the only issue is that people can guess like motherfuckers on you because you just aren’t scary in terms of damage. With the cross up and faster walkspeed though it makes his mixups a lot better. I guess that’s better.

Also, it’s better if more people play your character. More stuff to watch, to learn from [and to steal hee].

And more people there to steal your stuff… boo! :wink:
