C.viper Arcade / DLC changes SSF4

oh man, I know. It’ll be interesting to see what they have changed. But, like you said. Not worth getting your hopes up. :slight_smile:

Unless Capcom decides to “Genify” Viper, there’s nowhere to go but up.

Give her back all the vanilla frame advantages. Idk why such an averagely ranked character gets nerfed so hard in the first place
EDIT: So we’re gonna hear about it tuesday?

yeah that’s right. Someone will link all of the info here for us to talk about. I’m kinda not getting hyped about it though. Just because I’m expecting it to be vague information and it’s probably not set in stone (as in they could change the moves again before release) but hopefully we get some solid info :slight_smile:

Bigger hitbox on U2 and that’s it apparently lol

-_- sad day for viper players…the overpowered characters better get nerfed

Shout outs to Capcom for buffing an Ultra that never got used!

Though in all honesty in comparison to what happened with Ryu, Cammy, and Rog we got off scott free.

The Rog match up is slightly not as bad as we don’t have to sit there and take standing jabs all day. lol
Ryu looks like he got more nerfs.
Cammy already got nerfed the minute they announced TKCS is gone. That match up is going to be in our favor now.

That being said take all changes with a grain of salt as they aren’t finalized yet.

I guess we should be thankful for no more unnecessary nerfs.

As for Cammy being nerfed it sounds more like they are making CVS Cammy to me. Which is definitely not a nerf. Even more frame advantage on her normals, and now way nicer links off of light attacks. EX TKCS is still in there and Cammy gets hella meter (and really wtf else are you going to do with it?) so I wouldn’t get excited about Viper having an easier time just yet. Her walk speed is faster than Balrog’s and it sounds like she basically got his jab spam with all the reductions to her normals. At best this match up might go up a half point for Viper.

Rog nerfs are good enough though. No excuse not to land FFF after headbutt now.

Ryu will still be bullshit, but fuck you meaty c.mk! Solar plexus nerf is good news too, but that more ambiguous cross up tatsu sounds like I’ll need more meter on Viper. ><

Wow, that’s it? Buffing U2? Dear God, Capcom…

Well, at least no nerfs for Viper, and Rog will suffer big time if his headbutt whiffs/is blocked. Also, maybe Headbutt > Ultra is gone? If so, sweet.

I more or less feel like Capcom just decided to flip us the bird and gave us something to go f*ck ourselves with :confused:

Guys
think of the possibilities we could now come up with U2 being better
CH cr.mp SJC U2

OH GOD

So basically nothing will change? :expressionless:

I am disappoint. Lol

Profound Sadness…

Ok i dont play this character, but i think its better not to ask for rebalancing, since you dont know how things will end. Look at Seth and Cammy’s situation. That is “change”. Maybe they want to give U2 more spotlike since its shit compared to the usefulness of U1.

^
Well, if they wanted Ultra 2 to get more use, I think it was the wrong way to go about it lol. Unless the hitbox change actually means something, Ultra 1 will remain the Ultra of choice for Viper players.

If that’s all that’s getting changed about Viper, well, I guess I can’t complain. Would have been nice to see some buffs, but might as well be glad they left her as she is and watch everyone else get nerfed up the arse.

What are you talking about?
Vipers can’t win consistently anyway. I gave up on winning a while back and decided that U2 is the ultra of choice.
FOR TROLLING

From the loke-tests, I believe that there was confirmation on U2 damage being upped.We’ll see how things turn out in the end.

GIVER HER CAPTAIN FIRE DAMMIT

Haha…I was thinking what it would be like if Viper could “feint” her burn kicks mid-animation and have instant recovery like Akuma demon flip palm recovery. Can you imagine how sick that would be? She would be Mag-fucking-neto if that was the case. TK BK feint instant recovery j.Fierce for high or instant recovery land, c.short. lolol

LOL you guys, those posts genuninely made me laugh in a good way. But you’re right, we’ll see how Ultra 2 turns out. And if she could feint BKs, that would be the end lol. I would fucking love that, just to piss people off. The average players hate BK shenanigans enough as it is because they can’t block, being able to feint that would cause people fits.

Oh my days. Someone pitch this to CAPCOM lmao.

I’m gonna use U2 for a whole day today. Fuck it. Lainy Sky your comments persuaded me.
