charged v-skill is -1 on block
EX mujnikyakyu is -2 (don’t know why you’d ever use this)
first hit of down+P rekka follow up is +1
yup. even with meter EX ressenha has a shitty hitbox and seems like not many active frames. its easy to make her AA’s trade or whiff at weird angles or timing. best thing for her is to chicken block in those cases. i think it’s her biggest weakness.
i think if they mash jab, the down+k follow-up and the down+p follow-up are both frame traps and will blow them up. down+p like i said is +1 on block for first hit.
but yeah, if you don’t know the karin matchup it seems like she has all these amazing mix-ups ond overheads and cross-ups, but they’re just gimmicks. she does have safe specials for pressure but her mix-up game isn’t really guess-which-way-to-block. most of her cross-ups and overheads are pretty useless, she’s more like frametrap/throw mixups just like every other character in SFV, with her good normals and walk speed.
i think she has alot of untapped v trigger potential. like i said altho most of her follow-ups are gimmicks that can be stuffed by jab, first you make them jab or DP your follow-up. then you can do the back+K to bait. next time if they press buttons you can do the down+P to frame trap them. then when theyve been conditioned not to press buttons you can go for the gimmicks. i think there is alot of potential for netural game rekka mix-ups and not just hitconfirms into v-trigger. right now ive been mostly using v meter for v-reversals tho since her defense is not great.
NOBODY should be excited about survival mode. it’s an abomination. this type of thing is really sad to hear because a) combofiend is clearly being forced to say it and b) it means patching that horrible mode is unlikely to happen
sigh, every single thing about SFV outside of the gameplay is soooooo bad
Some of the SFV tracks are really great. That’s a nice little lick at the start of this one. Does this actually play during the game? Because I haven’t heard it.
It plays character themes in all online modes for me, including ranked. I dunno. I switched the menus to play character themes the first time I turned the game on so maybe that’s why.
he was sort of a weird caveman/barbarian dude in KI2, i think, but they reimagined him to be an viking immortal in this game
in KI2 there was time travel involved (or something like that), but in this game there isn’t, so i guess the reasoning is… this is the same tusk from KI2, just alive for 2000 years and is now a modern badass, instead of the dumb peabrained character he was from KI2? idk
all that matters is his gameplay stream was really cool (he might be the coolest character they’ve done so far) and he has scandinavian metal for his theme song
if you have time to kill and want to see how he works, feel free to check the gameplay stream out
long story short: he swings his sword a ton and does massive damage and his forward throw is guile suplex
