El Fuerte General Discussion Thread

Being in the background is a death nail for being playable. T_T

EDIT: That’s not a focus attack. Abel has Urien’s tackle in SFxT. I was playing Poison/Abel at EVO and I did it randomly as I switched blocks. It’s just like Urien’s aka a back charge. I can’t remember if it was kick or punch all I remember is you can charge it and some versions have wall bounce.

if thats true…fuerte can be reallly good in this game, and i wont mind if splash is unsafe in this.

Ibuki is in one of the stage backgrounds and she’s just been announced. It was her actual character model, too, not just a poster.

Spab, those pictures bring me hope…Very amazing find indeed.

CSword123 · 2011-08-19T14:59:02.000Z

Yup, when I saw that at NY fight club, it brought me hope. Ono really likes Fuerte doesn’t he? I mean although a he is a troll, he still does show some appreciation for certain characters. Who knows? Maybe R. Mika will be revealed too?

Anyway, I cannot wait for rage that will ensue whenever he gets revealed. Salty tears will flow, and I will drink them like it was agua de horchata.

Getting really sick of getting booted out of lobbies by PP monsters who’re scared I’ll take their precious points with Elf.

Not true. The three Shadowloo Devas (meaning not Sagat) can be seen on the African airport stage under certain conditions.

Balrog not fighting - In background.
Balrog fighting, but not Vega - Vega in background
Both fighting - Bison in background.

Also, Tron Bonne was frist shown as a background character in MvC3 and Peter Parker was a background character in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. If those two are fighting instead, they simply disappear from the background. In Fuerte’s case, it’s more ambiguous than, say, the twins appearing because that billboard can be there even if he’s fighting since it’s not actually himself in the background.

And if Fuerte’s not in, there are a lot of characters I’m excited about, namely Julia, Raven, Ibuki, Poison, and Kuma, and I just hope my Tekken waifu, Xiaoyu, gets in.

But an El Fuerte X Mika team being unveiled would be so awesome, but I’d prefer that we get MIka X Karin and El Fuerte X Zangief.

@Phyrgian That’s Ibuki’s friend, Sarai, they have the same ninja uniform.

invite them to endless.
Open a can a whup ass, kick ass and smash ass.
Use cans of brass ass (ex run) to protect your ass

I swear. Fuerte has to be the most hated and counter picked low tier character in the history of ever.

El fuerte is cool. Fuck the haters

Edit: Dawgtanian sent me this the other day via twitter, I thought you guiys knew aboot it though. Goin’ with what Spab showed.

KumaOso · 2011-08-19T19:59:26.000Z

People don’t like:

Not being able to derp their way out of mixups.
Characters they can’t catch.
Characters that are highly unorthodox.
Characters that are unpredictable.
Characters that make them look like idiots.
Characters that are goofy.

And finally, as Courage Wolf once said, “There are no such things as difficult things. Either things take time or they don’t.”

That’s not Ibuki. It’s one of her fellow ninja peoples.

Blanka, Honda and El Fuerte sadly will not be in SFxT.

Vanilla · 2011-08-19T21:36:26.000Z

The only thing to take away from that SFxT screen is that Capcom is actually aware that Fuerte exists.

Densuo · 2011-08-19T21:38:59.000Z

I wonder if I should just start recording random fuerte matches on replay channel…

KumaOso · 2011-08-19T22:45:23.000Z

Wow, the Viper players are so emo with their character’s viability. We’re so emo on our character getting hate for all the wrong reasons.

this. The minute I read about crMK stuffing lunge punch clean and I went to Next Level, everytime the person I played with threw a lunge punch I threw crmk and I hit him out of it EVERYTIME. I only got hit out by lunge punch inside of combos.

another thing about crMK … im in the lab with the loop… i will post as soon as i finish testing it out more…but i think we may be on to something with meter… since his defense sort of sucks i have been going for even more full blown offense… using meter

I’ve been thinking of crLP x3-4 and run in with EX run to see what I can do. A lot of players seem to love pressing buttons after a set of 4 jabs.

crMK from guile, or Bipson crHP which beat fuerte’s pokes after his 3-4 jabs.

yeah that could work but i would go for EX run back -> Tortilla or crJab x4 to sMP (counterhit) xx run mixup … i have been using EX run stop based off of how far i push my opponent away… i have been hitting 4x consistantly with crMK (on character so far)…just time it like you do RSF when you use EX run to stay in bcause it is his fastest…its 8 in the morning and i have a horrid head cold so if i need to explain it again pm me …cause i know i may sound crazy right now lol… but it is possible to do the crMK loop and get more than 3 hits

I’m glad to see ppl aren’t just hating on my fuerte.

A couple of days ago, had this guy hate messaging me that hes gonna slam me all over the forums, get ppl to boycott my matches, i should learn how to combo, i give sf online players a bad name. Thats how i got all my pp points is by doing the same move 50x. All because i took his arse to splash mountain lol. Dont know what he was complaining about, splash mountain a free ride lol.

Densuo · 2011-08-21T01:57:10.000Z

That’s our new slogan. Splash Mountain. A free ride.

POST VIDEO AND SCREENSHOT

I DEMAND THIS BE EL FUERTE’S NEW WIN QUOTE: “What are you complaining about? Splash Mountain’s a free ride!”
