I’d imagine the reason Viper doesn’t have her hair down is because her hair is the Crimson Viper from which she draws her name.
That’s just a guess though.
And suddenly you can’t throw fireballs at Viper any more…
Yeah her hair is part of her persona so she isn’t going to change that as long as she’s doing business.
You haven’t played against a good Viper then. Viper already makes throwing fireballs impossible for like every character. Only super perfect placement of fireballs works against Viper. Anything else and you get seismoed or burn kicked or psychic super jumped on. Viper is like Fuerte in that she’s another “can’t throw fire at me” character.
Naw, it’s not like vega’s ultra, you have to actually jump and activate it. Or can it be activated on the ground? Also the range doesn’t seem to be enormous so fireballs are ok. Anyways you shouldn’t be fireballing viper in the first place. Seismo says hi.
Also seismo> SJ> Ultra 2 anyone? Seems like easy mode free ultra from anywhere on the screen. Still i wish the ultras were there at the same time. They don’t really have the same purposes.
Apparently one of the guys who’s going to be at the event has already confirmed that you can start the Ultra on the ground. Though I’m going to assume the Ultra has different properties on the ground than it does in the air.
Yeah you’re probably right. All the Vipers I play just abuse her feints and forget she’s got a real move under there :lol:
Anyway, they should have kept the name “Death Penalty”. Not sure how that would have gone do in the US though lol
Do anyone have a image of Vipers third costume?
There is a very small image on the Japanese SSFIV site. This is the only one, since the costumes weren’t shown at the recent fight club.
then capcom should change her name back to maya and let her hair down as a 3rd alternate costume.
In a video I saw looks like EX TK has slightly faster activation(maybe I’m crazy), definitely has a little more sparkle on it. Also didn’t look like they improved her FA in any appreciative way from the video I watched.
I saw the video and yeah it looks faster or at least flash going across the screen now.
I want to know if anyone knows if any of Vipers move throw the opponent to the wall for a wall bounce?

Enjoy the bad Viper player.

Looks a tad like Bayonetta
Thanks!
Thanks!
Looks to me like a few of her normals might be faster. Hard to say for sure though, maybe it’s just my imagination.
Ex knuckle definitely looks faster, though, and has a different lightning effect or something.
The whole Video I was looking at c.MK trying to see if the hit box is longer since it wiffs unless you hit them past your ankle
On the EXTK discussion it?s crap but it does have it?s uses. Personally I find it incredible for chipping with against jumpers too scared for me to Seismo chip. The elephant in the room for me is how random it is…the rate at which it stops short/doesn?t cross up etc is too funky for my liking. May as well bump up the damage a bit and give us ultra juggle off aerial connect seeing as it’s balls though - don’t bother speeding it up cause I don’t ever expect it to hit anything but an aerial/blocking opponent anyway…
My only suggestion is that they fix ultra 1 ? i.e. if it?s blocked/whiffs, let?s just skip the extra 200+ frames of the game telling me I suck and drop the punishment down to maybe 30 frames so I can get back into the match. Also throw invincible DP would be nice. Oh and the uniboob and lack of batty need to be rectified immediately, that?s a problem…Overall though she’s almost perfect. The better characters + several hitboxes just need fixing. I do wish her double kick was better though…I really like it and it stuffs a lot of ninja turtle crap (Balrog’s jabs) but it’s sooo punishable I hardly get to use it 
if nothing else gets changed they can buff that or give me a usable FA.
So do we have any info about if the ultra can be comboed off a siesmo or AA F.TK ect?
