Good shit. Thanks for posting that up. That’s pretty fucking awesome news.
ive been playing sim a lot tonight on teamspooky stream
he really is buffed.
cause everyone does less damage, its like he does real damage now for his combos…
ultra 2 is sooo good vs fireball zoners, can punish from half screen.
ex fireball is too good in fireball fights since it doesnt disappear anymore.
drills are safe and you can actually do legit blockstrings/setups off all of them.
Wow, damage on the flames makes A LOT more sense now. Almost like it was a typo in the original game, with upflames doing less damage than b.HK and BnBs doing the same damage as a throw. I’ll have a reason to incorporate upflames now. HK upflame should still be an instant-kill though 'cause that move is IMPOSSIBLE to land, lol.
I’m really hype for Dhalsim.
I linked jumpinging hp->down back hp->down back hp for the hell of it some times in sf4, now I can do it for 300 dmg + lots of stun! Yes, he does more stun I believe, but I didn’t have time to look at the numbers!
Can someone confirm if s.hp is actually shorter? I was watching sabin played and I couldn’ tell =[. Also it looked a tad slower on recovery or is it just me being paranoid?
Yeah i could tell right away that sim is much better off, good matches… The safe drills blew my mind when i saw you use em. And yoga blast on Counter hit was a massive chunk of life. Now that sim can actually hurt people and not die in 2 combo’s…or at least as fast. He’s gonna be a force to reckon with. Guess i’ll stick with em.
Sorry for doubting you capcom:bluu:
Wish I watch more of the stream while you were on sabin.
For people who have it I have some test requests.
Is anything cancelable that wasn’t before, like the second hit of b.hp? Does short slide still only cancel up close? Is anything noticably faster/slower? Is sims’s bnb still retarded against ryu/ken? anything new that combos like db.mk xx fire? How much better is his throw range? does b.lk link into itself?
Sorry if this stuff was seen in the stream.

Check this konkrete.
Sim looks really really good in Super. This actually looks like an uphill fight for Sagat. I really didn’t think Sim would be buffed this much. We got everything we wanted except for better flames (startup and invincibility wise).
Got lucky enough to test the waters, and here are a few of my alcohol-hazed notes (keep in mind I only played Sim about 5 games, so these are very rudimentary/preliminary observations):
- EX fireball going full screen really is an improvement. Opponents can no longer just walk backward when close to full screen to avoid it. If they’re low on life, they’ll likely either neutral jump or jump forward, in which case I was able to lk.slide forward, and aa with st.fk
- Ultra 2 has a very unique range, but like Sabin posted above, works great against projectile spammers. My only gripe is that I tried to teleport midair a few times and the ultra came out instead, but that’s because I have less than perfect execution… if you’re in the same boat, prepare to use the forward-down-down-forward+PPP air teleport LESS, because this will at least occasionally happen. Also, if missed, it’s punishment city — it’s gotta be amongst the worst recovery in the game. I’m fairly certain I’ll be using U1 for a majority of my matches.
- I played with his drills a little bit, and didn’t notice a huge difference. Then again, I pretty much only use them to gain position after jumping over a projectile. How I long for the old school drill power.
- There were lots of rumors flying around about his st.fp being shortened, I couldn’t tell a difference at all… I was still punishing early fireball animations from close to full screen.
- EX up-flame = 100% the same
- I noticed I was in fact lasting longer, esp against Sagat. Sagat having 110 damage for all 3 tu’s is VERY noticeable against Sim. 5-5 or better for Sim now, imo.
He’s going to be much more enjoyable to use now that he’s been buffed. If I get lucky enough to test further, I’ll be sure to report any findings.
Good shit. Thanks to all posting info/impressions. Sim is still going to be my main no matter what, but it’s good to know he’s tipping the scales a little more in favor of being a force to be reckoned with. That will at least make up for my mediocrity in skill a little. :bgrin:
Now that I’ll have a better Sim and T.Hawk as my meat + potatoes secondary, I’ll be a happy camper.
I can’t believe this shit, guys… This is awesome! 'Sim, I’m looking forward to keeping you as my main. 
SO. DAMN. HYPED
Damn Arturo,
Nothing against Sanford’s Sagat but shit… final tally was 18-5 Sim… I know it was just casuals but that stat alone is encouraging.
Also… It kinda looked like the b.fp headbutt has more range? or am I just imagining?
Holy smokes, those drills are fast now! He was tick throwing people left and right off lk drills!
And Sabin even tick threw Cody off a blocked mummy at one point.
Good stuff.
Very nice demonstration there.
Is it just me or is the start up of Tower now a little bit quicker?

amazing news… that’s too good to be true…
i’m sticking with sim for sure !
Whoa! Seeing Sabin play Super Sim is freakin’ sweet. I’ve been worried but this vid put a lot of my fears to ease. It’ll be fun to do real damage with his BnBs now. Stoked!
Here is a couple of matches of me playing SSF4 and Dhalsim… Not anything special, sucky gouken opponent, and a low quality stick, so bnb was hard to hit:P

I played SSFIV tonight, Dhalsim is awesome!
His drills starts way faster now! And he actually DOES damage!
im happy for you sim players. he got way better buffs than honda did. im probably going to drop honda in super and i was thinking of picking up seth but now it looks like sim is the better seth and not the other way around.
sims matchups against all the new characters look all in his favor now.
