He’s hard to throw, also he feints on wakeup.
Does the lost of throw invencibility on the EX Seismo helps on that?
No, it just means Viper players will hp tk feint, which is easier on reversal than it is normally.
So you think that this nerf you’ll not affect Viper players at all?
you’re just going to see way more wakeup hp tk’s and hp tk feints.
I wasn’t aware up until now that HP TK has 6f of invincibility… guess I should be reading more about other characters’ frame data
But EX Seismo has 13f, so it’s still a nerf for her…
Yea but she gets a wakeup/reversal that goes up and doesnt take meter
I agree that Viper should be nerfed harder, that bitch! :rolleyes:
lol she is the least of our worries! Abel and Seth are 2 of my weak spots. I dont think Abel needs any buffs for 2012.
LoL
But I think there’s hope in the Abel MU because of the horiball and EX upball KD.
You have a few more safe options of damage / reversals now.
I honestly don’t see why Taku says the Abel match is even. Blanka doesn’t have options after a knockdown. It’s at least 6:4 in Abel’s favour. I remember in Vanilla, that match was listed as 6.5 - 3.5 on the Japanese wiki. Even on their change request page, it lists Abel as a very bad matchup for Blanka.
Yea having 2 guess all day plus having few options = not a fun MU for us. I almost cringe at any Abel buffs. I try to play footsies in that match, but mess up and get hit with one step kick and its lights out.
I swear Juri just doesn’t have a hitbox. Nothing works on her and I keep whiffing mk cross ups >:|
i’ve mentioned before i think it’s even because he cannot get in on you. All your normals smash him. He’ also pretty helpless on wakeup there are tons of things you can do to him. Yes he does monster damage to you off of one mistake and his mixup on you is pretty annoying… but so is gief… i still find it even.
Latif is impossible to throw. I don’t want to give away too much of his secrets, he’s nice enough to give me huge sets so i’ll keep what he does brief. But what he does against unblockable is a mix between hp tk, and ex feint (for invinc frames). mostly he just HP tks and either it hits or it misses and he accepts the hit.
I use too many normals he just rolls right on in and smashes me instead, way tougher than Gief for me. What normals do you use to keep him out best?, on reaction to him or do you just toss them out?
Looks like Blanka may be announced for SFXT in Brazil. I hope so!
Looks more like Oro actually, like the comment below says… Ono’s Blanka with a missing arm. Poo, I’d love team Kuma/Blanka.
ugh
:lame:
