Wow…thought I was the only one…
In the original SF4 beta tests they were overheads but obviously that was broken and they took it out in the final version. Face it, Viper would be incredibly sexy with overhead burn kicks regardless of how broken that would be.
I think the only reason people are saying she got buffed to beta status was that one lone comment from Seth Killian saying C.Viper is looking real good now, which I’m fairly hesistant on believing since no other info has proven this so unless something new came about in this second stage of development I’m not expecting anything.
Wasn’t only Seth. n3ss said the same thing over at NeoGAF.
But yeah, I’m not seeing it so far. But she might have new stuff/alterations we don’t know about or properties of her new ultra that aren’t publically known. Plus I keep reading that the current preview build making the rounds doesn’t have all the balance tweaks in. Guess we’ll see in a couple months.
Either way, it ain’t gonna bother me if Viper is around the same area on the tier list than she is now.
better normals plz. i don’t like try to hit people w/ my ankles.
Her FFF is by no means too easy, for a bnb it’s actually incredibly hard if you simply miss the feint for her standard punish combo you eat ultra/max dmg punish. They better not nerf her hp tk.
has their been any info at all with changes for her in this game?
Overhead BK would be overkill, lol. Plenty of people piss and whine about that move anyway, if it had overhead properties I think they’d suicide.
I should be happy that they’re keeping her relatively the same, but I’m thinking what’s the point if they’re just going to keep her pretty much the same but with a new Ultra and one extra frame on her HP TK(why?) instead of giving her a bit more new stuff? A new move perhaps? I’m hoping that’s not all the changes they’re going to give her.
Screw it make BK overhead. People will just have to remember to block high now. lol
Yeah I’m still wondering about the rumor where they said every character was supposed to get one new special move. I mean freaking SAGAT of all characters got a new special move AFTER getting “toned down”. So he got some nerfs but got a buff in an entirely new move. This is considering by default Sagat has basically been buffed agaisnt characters like Gief now that lariat has been toned down. Sagat was the last character that needed a new special move but he got one. I will be kinda dissapointed though if Viper is only tweaked by a frame or 2 on a couple normals or specials. I was hoping at least a new special move or something that would add a totally new dynamic to her. Well…either way she’s still easily the most unique SF character Capcom has ever offered so I’ll stick with using her. I’m afraid Capcom is gonna make Ibuki boring. :lol:
By Sagat’s new move are you talking about that thing is this video where Sagat laughs and the screen flashes black? [media=youtube]6XzWkGGHHyM#movie_player[/media]
No I’m talking about his move that makes him teleport and allows him to cancel into teleport from focus attacks and keep the charge.

So what do you guys think of her new Alt? Not sexy enough imo.
Yeah it’s a little tamer than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was gonna be like some Underworld/Bayonetta junk but then I remembered that it’s SFIV and not some mature rated craziness. Considering what some of the other females got “Cammy cosplaying as Dic ROFLMAO!” it’s definitely one of the better ones. Especially if it has 10 different colors I’ll definitely be looking for Female Guyver color.
Her alt’s alright. I was expecting a little more though, but I think it’s cooler than her old alt(don’t slay me for this lol.) Should look cool in certain colours though.
I’m bitter that Sagat gets a new move like that, screw it, make BK overhead then, lol./jk
EDIT: Lol, Guyver, give her Gigasmasher or something.
It’s alright, would rather for her to be in jeans, braids, cleavage revealing shirt, and cap or Mama-viper.
Yeah, I guess I can understand the idea behind it, but I’m still a little disappointed. Maybe it’s because her current alt is very similar to her default, I was expecting something more.
Don’t get me wrong though, I’m sure it’ll look even better in motion.
I would have liked a Bayonetta costume though if Capcom had gotten hold of that game instead of Sega. Bayo’s shotgun feet would have went well with her fireheels I think, lol.
Have there been any new/better pics of the new alt besides that one old, small one? Couldn’t get a real clear look at it but tight leather seems nice/appropriate. I’ll take that over the apron outfit Nakky talked about.
edit: nvm, just saw the dev blog. Yeah she looks like an extra in the Xmen films lol…still has that camel toe through all that material. Whatever, I like.
I like it other than it makes her torso look really long and it has a ton of wrinkles in it.
Viper could easily be top tier. I don’t understand Ono’s reluctance to break her like that. People are reluctant to try her as it is because of the execution requirements. You can’t mash anything out with her and she can’t take much damage. A few startup frames cut here and there won’t bring the noobs flocking.
