Dural is banned and this is not changing, she is not available to play in arcades
Watch this video and you will never ask this question again: [media=youtube]09vWeWyR_jA[/media]
You do realize Akira can do the same thing right?
Show me.
…what?
The first move did over 70% life, most likely 75%. Counter hits only add, at most, 60% more damage. Assuming there wasnt counter hit damage youre saying that akira shoulder does about 45%(give or take about 1.whatever% since it depends on what the actual percent of life taken) of an opponents life…ok.
Maybe I’m just missing something. What to I know, I’m just a newb. [walks away]
WTF? Is there something I’m missing here? How the hell did she do so much damage off that one move?
Broken boss powers + counter hit damage + derp
no…
Taka does his hcf+P. This move has auto block properties, and it can’t block EVERY attack though. Dural OM’s to get the best angle, and does a “perfect” body check, directly on the wall, and then just does a combo go finish. If you think this is practical at all, that’s great. lol Normally the body check will only do around 40-70ish damage depending on how deep it hits and if its CH
So yeah any Taka with half a brain isn’t gonna be trying that move near a wall.
That’s not the point. It was counter hit. Just about any move can be counter hit if timed correctly, but if you’re making a video to just show counter hit damage, why would you use a move thats difficult to counter hit? Just choose an easy one. It may not have been practical for a combo, but it was practical for the videos purpose.
The game was not balanced around Dural… that is justification enough for making the case that he is unfair…
In lack of a better analogy, I’ll use one from Super Turbo…
In Super Turbo, there is this boss character named Akuma who is broken… while he some pretty damn good normals and specials + a fully invincible teleport and air fireball…
In HDR, a rebalance of super turbo, nearly everything about him was made worse but there was still one move that gave him an advantage against every character in the game… the air fireball… no character in the game was designed to fight against fireballs in the air, only across the ground…
In this case, Dural is an air fireball… as weird as that may sound…
None of the characters were balanced to fight against all of the fuckery that Dural has… you could make the case, if Dural was designed to fight amongst the other characters… however Sega makes it quite obvious that they did not intend for that…
In all of these iterations that have been made, they never balanced the characters around Dural… therefore just from that fact alone, you can assume that Dural is going to be unfair…
/hops off soapbox…
Because it does more damage, when that Taka move gets counterhit, and from THAT close, and at that EXACT angle. That’s the point. Have you ever hit someone out of an unblockable in tekken? and the move does 400% damage or more?
And again, Akira has the same move.
But you don’t even have the game yet though, and don’t even know what she does. You probably didn’t know she has 2 styles.
Lol that’s eveyone’s problem. Everyone is just ASSUMING she’s unfair/broken. She doesn’t have anything near as a broken as a air fireball. that was hella cheap and unfair. Dude had legit 10-0 matchups. The only valid argument you guys had that made any sort of sense, was the fact that you can’t play her in arcade.
Dural has never been allowed in any major VF tournament in any game to my knowledge. This isn’t like street fighter where most of the time they create a nerfed boss for competitive play. Dural has devastating combos that are relatively easy to get on people, a throw game comparable to the best grapplers. Dural has always been included in VF to have fun and play around with but I can safely guarantee you that Dural won’t be allowed at any major tournaments.
Dural won’t be at Evo you can count on that.
EDIT: Someone will probably make a video in the coming weeks showing the OP of Dural.
Are you saying that range and angle will augment counterhit damage? If you’re not talking out your arse then; no I didnt know that those thing could cause a move to do around 75% of someones life in a single hit, followed by 4 moves that take the remaining 25% and 1 more hit just for poops and giggles.
Why are you bringing up a different game with different system mechanics and different damage factors? There is no correlation.
Sigh. I played VF4 (vanessa) and a bit of the first VF5. I haven’t touched final showdown though, so yes, you are COMPLETELY right in saying I havent played final Showdown. Congrats. Even if I hadnt played VF4 and VF5 there’s these things called youtube and streams; I would have learned a lot about this game even if I had no background in it at all. Seriously. That’s like saying I dont know what Seth does in SFVAE2012 even though I played before the 2012 version or even AE came out.
EDIT:Your point about Akira having the same move is moot. They have different properties and different advantages. So the move looking the same is completely irrelevant
- Dural is not heavy anymore…she is the same weight as Vanessa
- Rapid mode Dural…
- Has ~100 damage front and back throws, plus they are TFT new and old so they double as the best RO throws as well
- Has a 10f punisher…something no one else in the game has
- Does ~80 damage off a 14f punisher on everyone but Taka
- Gets guaranteed 3kkkk on Taka, any stance, normal hit
- Lacks big launchers…but has the best and most abuseable strings in the game. She has 3kkkk/3kk2kk which is Sarah’s fl kk string, except it starts mid and the first two hits jail, so you have to accept the mixup on block. Mid and you get launched, low and you are put into the same situation again. Then there’s 3kp. Wow so cheesy…mid~mid, -6 on block but it pushes back about 10 feet. The 2nd hit is half circular, delayable, and guaranteed on counter-hit. Gives side-turned situation on any hit.
Rapid Dural is definitely the best character in the game, if not the absolute cheesiest and does nothing but dumb down the game. If she was legal there’s be no reason to not use her. Massive Dural is basically Jeffry with Wolf’s throw damage…why use Wolf or Jeffry? On top of that, having Akira’s P+K, one of his best moves.
Then of course she has p+k+g…16f mid, +3 on block…not exactly the most broken thing ever since you can’t force it vs 2p, but it gets really stupid against a wall. No one else has a move like this.
I don’t think Dural is the most broken thing ever, but she is clearly the best character in the game, and if she were legal you’d be a fool to use anyone else. The fact that other characters can do the same things she can is a moot point…if Akira can do this one stupid thing Dural has, and Jacky can do this other stupid thing she has, and Wolf and Jeffry and whoever can do these things, why would I pick one of those characters can do some of those things, when I can just pick Dural and to all of them and then some? lol
whats the 10f punsiher and the TFT combo?
3pk and 46k+gk, p, 2p+k, 7k works on most characters from back tft. You can do 46k+gk, 4p+k, 7k even on Jeffry for 91 from the back one. Even on Taka you get 4k+g, 7kk. You can get over 100 on lighter characters, esp. from the back one using 4k+g.
Dural is still the boss? God damn Sega mix that shit up… =__=’’
Eh sorry to burst your bubble, but you get more damage by hitting someone from the side(or back) and you get more damage on counter hit…
That looked like both of the above…
Just clearing up misconceptions…
In my original post I said counter hit was at most 60%. Correct me if I’m wrong but the 3 counter hit bonuses are 40%, 50%, and 60%. I thought it was based on the move used, but feel free to correct me and lead me to a source.
Also, the guy, to my knowledge, was talking about the angle of the attack it self not positioning. If he wasnt then he’s free to make some sort of note or reply.
Lastly, I thought you only get the bonus damage from side/back hits after guard break…could be wrong. In any case, do you think that the side hit bonus and counter hit bonus would lead to doing 75% damage in a single hit. (not being sarcastic, I’m actually asking)
EDIT: I reviewed the video and Dural sidestepped before Taka even began his attack, so I dont think it was side hit. I’ll hit up training and test it myself later
Yes but previous Dural was Kage’s mother, and now this one is a clone of Vanessa.
Or something.
God damn Sega fix that shit story up.
