Oh these bitches are just trolling now!
Did the translator forget to include the sarcasm?
Meanwhile Uryo is looking mighty happy with that 87 win streak with Sakura. lol that fool isn’t ever coming back to Viper.
He likes the young chicks I guess.
On a more serious note, has anyone actually messed around with Ultra 2 yet? Yes yes, I know it’s still bad compared to Ultra 1, but maybe the hitbox change allows for some funny new shit.
This is probably going to infuriate somebody; but have any of the people complaining about top Japanese players opinions of Viper being tops considered that Americans, generally, just might not be very good with Viper?
I remember Tokido got blown up by Jayce the Ace a couple times so I don’t think so.
You’re also complaining - about other people complaining.
Also, Honda - Sagat, Gief - Seth. 'nuff said.
ill take what daigo says seriously when he actually learns to play the character
he got shit wrecked the one vid i saw of him using her which leads me to believe he knows jack shit about her
Well I don’t know about Daigo, but Tokido said he is going to pick up Viper so he can become more familiar with her and understand her weak points better.
I’m thinking by the time he gets his Viper to 15,000 he’ll change his tune about her being top 5 lol. I’m looking forward to his findings.
Got some extensive play time in today, and yes, shes pretty much unchanged (although you knew that). So the only thing really to comment on is how her matchups change based on the other character’s changes.
Ive played the Akuma matchup more than any other because that’s who my friend plays, and I have to say, not much has changed here. You have to look out for the U2 hitting lower, and for some reason demon flip to dive kick got better because it beat my fierce tk every time rather than trading like it does in Super. Again, I dont know if his flip > kick got better or her fierce tk got worse but something is different here.
Played a good Blanka, although the recovery arc on horizontal balls was shortened, I was unable to punish it with a plain old strong tk. So I guess just keep using seismos to punish… The player and also my Akuma playing friend seems to think that the distance on the floor sliding punch is longer but I didnt really notice. Ill have to look at the info they post about his changes more closely. Tried to grab more when he did hop but like I said, he was actually good, so catching him was tough.
Played against Jason Wilson’s (owner of the arcade and all around GREAT player) Yang, and managed to beat him. New matchup so I pretty much played it safe, Its important to look for and determine when the other player is trying to start dive kicks so keep an eye out for the first part of their jump. It helps that they cant do them as low as Rufus and also have slightly more recovery on a blocked one. Another guy that goes there a lot, also started playing Yang, and his gave me a bit more trouble because I didnt play as safe and he was pretty good at not finishing his rekkas and getting grabs on me.
Other guy that Played Yang also plays Cody and Bison very well, and those matchups feel almost exactly the same. I KIND of felt a good difference just in terms of damage in the Bison matchup.
Thats really all I can think of right off the top of my head, I may take some notes next time I see anything different or weird. I practiced Yun and managed to pick up some stuff pretty quick. I can see why Daigo thinks fireball characters are screwed lol.
This is the last edition of sf4 viper ever huh?
was that the vid where he faced against a honda?
Lol Viper players are so pessimistic.
I main Viper and i think she is a great character. Yes she has really shitty matchups versus certain characters and yes c.mk has a stupid hit box but that dosent make her horrible. She has probably the best comeback potential in the game and throw that in with full screen pressure, and scary mix-ups that lead into meterless ultra juggles i dont see how everyone here is saying she is ass.
I can see why the Japanese think she is top tier, she is a great character.
naw man, shes not ass. shes good, just that she can get beaten down so easily…
I believe in Capcom. Capcom will reward us with Captain Fire in the last update.
…yeah.
Her ass, on the other hand…
OH MY FUCKING GOD
and here I come with false hope again
I think her lpTK hitbox got improved --
I think her whiff recovery on 6hk got improved --
PS: Yang’s so fun to play
I get to mash out 3f jabs all day
Hitconfirm to cr.mk to bullshit damage rekkas
FUCK YEAH LAUNCHER KICK DIVEKICK U1
Lmao
Now I want Lauren as the new Viper.
…fucking Capcom
Talking about her getting old reminded me -_-
Her boobies are smaller now in AE. This is so completely true.
Ask ANYONE that has played AE.
FUCK
Aren’t they better separated now ? Seems to me, from seeing her alt1.
No, they’re just more flat now. They’re still uniboobs. D:
As my friend says, they look like hamburger buns.
This is why 85% of vipers never get better.
