Fucking christ. Fei Long’s new ultra is a counter.
Well there goes any hope for a useful ultra for SSF4.
suuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre. dont like the input to balrog new command grab ultra :360: :360: :3p:. why does balrog need a command grab in any shape or form :smh:
btw here is a replay of last night stream for ssfIV at ces. also I think all ultra got nerf in the damage department.
Balrog’s ultra comand grab doesn’t seem to do much damage though. I’m fine with that.
Though, Fei Long should’ve had an ultra command grab, not some shitty counter. If playing Hakumen in Blazblue has taught me anything, it’s that Counter move aren’t that good, super or not.
you wouldn’t say that if you play cs. those counters are real.
His counters are good in CT. It’s their application that limits them. If you overuse them, you’re still gonna get baited and throw countered. It’s the problem with all counter moves in any game, you have to use them reactionary, rather than anticipatory. Furthermore, even with the Yukikaze change, It’s still not gonna be used that often.
His counters didn’t change much in CS. his Jump. D has a follow up now, and his 5D lost it’s big damage follow up. I’ve heard rumors that the active frames on his 6D and 2D were actually nerfed by 2 frames.
Again, I haven’t played CS, but all the high level play I’ve seen don’t use his counters more than once or twice a match, which is the number you should use them in CT. Reason why CS hakumen looks so beast is J.C and 4.C. I am going to abuse those moves soo much.
I dont know bang counters are super real. he counter jin dp and 5d. just sayin. fei long counter ultra might have a 1frame startup and be super real. we dont know. I wish it was a command grab like you said but fei long command grab know sucks so it dont think it matters. I just think that fei long just has to suck cuz he is fei long(somebody not name J.Wong prove me wrong). Oh yeah I think that rufus is going to suck in super and vega is going to be top tier. Watch.
All of Hakumen’s counters are active on their first frame except 5D. Even yukikaze activates on it’s first frame and still is only situationally useful. Fei’s command grab isn’t great, true, but it’s still useful and I think, good. It has several frame traps. And after a forward throw, fei long can do fw.mk overhead then ex tenshin, and if they dont reversal they eat the throw. You can also do a super tick throw with tenshin cuz it cancels from normals. You do a crounching jab cancel into ex tenshin and the opponent has 3 frames before they eat it. They have to either reversal DP, or jump and no throw techs. I’ve caught a lot of people with this and is a better option than low jab, walk forward and regular throw if you have meter.
So his command grab is good, it’s just not a fundamental of his gameplay.
Dwaine, looks like they already nerfed Snake Strike real good lol!!
oh I saw and vega got a overhead. I’m telling yall vega top 5 in super
Apparently you can focus attacks without having the “necessary” life to do so. Kinda hot.

And just like that, my fears are put to rest

and just like that I get to cry myself to sleep.
I dunno man, I think the counter ultras are gonna be more useful than you think. You gotta play the game first to say that it’s gonna suck.
of course it loses to a command grab. its a counter what counter you know beats grabs. did you see the damage it did to t-hawk tho that was like 60% and that t-hawk so you know he has that gief health. that counter ultra looks kinda good but i wouldn’t use it against command grab characters but everybody else.
Counters are bad. They’re impractical, They always have and they always will in every game. (Third strike parries are different and more like coked up instant blocking.)
Would you rather do 60% damage every 5-10 matches or would you rather do 40% damage that can be practically set-up every match?
Depends but they might have made his first ultra combo-able but nobody use it last night. that why you have a choice.
So I don’t know why I never mentioned this, but there is an MMA fighter named Marius “Raging Demon” Zaromskis. The dude is one of the most insane strikers I’ve ever seen, frequently KO’ing his opponents with flying knees, headkicks etc. Best part of it all, he comes to the cage/ring dressed as Akuma. Here’s a highlight reel link, and keep an eye out in the next few months b/c he’s making his USA debut in Strikeforce against Nick Diaz who is one of my favorites. Should be a war…
