I’d take AA Mantis U2 or invincible Ex Oga.
And stun

that knockdown will be such a great advantage in so many matchups. along with +10 meter for gekiro, hands will succumb to be a mere s.mk xx hands poking tool.
I’d take Crane Normal Buffs over everything they gave us. Even leaving Crane c.HK where it was in AE.
Kind of disappointing considering they gave bigger buffs to already strong characters like balrog but who knows. Hopefully this isn’t all-comprehensive, sort of like the speculative changes from super to AE, etc.
The untech knockdown is nice but I don’t think i’ve ever combo’d into a hk gek in a real match anyways, and it’s a pain in the ass to even finish in the first place.
Time to practice AAing with it! lol
Interesting changelist, but I want to see more information.
- EX roll change: Will there be any differences to EX roll startup or travel speed for the different versions? This could be a big buff, but only if it’s useful for punishing fireballs on reaction, where I feel Gen is weak.
- HK Gekiro knockdown: will there be any changes to hitboxes i.e. will hk Gekiro combos still be highly character-specific? Potentially, this is a huge buff.
- Roll FADC combos: if hp x hk Gekiro is not character specific, does this mean that you can now do roll fadc hp x hk gekiro and get an easily confirmed untechable knockdown on everybody? Either way, it looks like a good damage buff.
- U2 startup: does this mean that U2 off EX hands is no longer character specific? And on that note, will you get crossup Oga setups after combos into U2 on all of the cast? (that’s really the most use I could potentially see out of the thing).
I always felt that for such a technical character Gen doesn’t offer enough reward to justify the time investment required, and I thought big buffs were definitely warranted and necessary. Will be interesting to see how this works out.
I really don’t think the roll FADC combo is going to be worth it unless you can incorporate HK Gekiro for a non-techable knock-down. I bet scaling will be pretty hard and Hands would be the better option.
Would it be good to used as a reversal between like a blocked cr.MK xx fireball? If you read it?
If you’ve been walking back or down-backing for 60f, sure. But some fireballs may extend the hurtbox forward too long that you may whiff some hits within, making you susceptible to mashed reversals.
Ok so stupid question but what are the Devs talking about with the snake strike? Hands or Roll?
Roll.
Thank you =D
So now we can roll FADC Ultra 1 Hmmm Can’t we already EX roll though projectiles? If the roll was a bit faster this would be good but it’s so slow on start up I rarely ever hit anyone with it. I usually just fadc throw or dash back out of it. I Personally think it’s just a waste of meter right now.
What Gen really needs is more damage\stun with his attacks to make him more high risk high reward and an invulnerable start up on his wall dive to escape corner and cross up pressure. But then he would be top tier and do we as Gen players really want that?
Yes. At least we’d have a top tier that required thought, (Viper excluded)
LOL Yeah I kinda do too lol
Some nice changes but like many said they feel so random, like they don’t know what they want Gen to do.
They want Gen to do little bit of everything that does not involve a fireball.
Unrelated note: Fei Long thread (and some more) is full of saltiness. They think SRK whiners played a huge part in Fei’s nerf. There were LOTS OF Japanese whiners complaining about Fei/Yun/Yang, and I believe they affected him more than SRK (why else would they hold loketests in Japan and Japan only if oversea wishlists were that important to them?). Were we acting like that during transition of Vanilla -> Super?
Yes. I personally blamed people like rokotsu for everything.
Just a reminder it’s a **LocTest **as in Location Test not a loketest lol But yeah I agree, This is a Japanese made game. I have a feeling people complaining on SRK has very little if anything to do with what changes they make in the game.
