Flash Metroid playing some Fuerte in the iNerd stream: http://www.justin.tv/inerd18/b/262583017 Go to 1:15:45 for the matches.
He said that Fuerte was top tier (not sure if serious or not) - still not sure how to feel about a top tier Fuerte. :wonder:
I’m hoping he’s still mid-low tier… but with everybody more balanced. I sure as hell don’t want everybody playing fuerte
Hes difficult to use…d oubt he will be that popular.
dfyb - havent seen you since last years tourney… where you been?
^
in the 1st round do you think that the chun player didnt jump after the whiffed st.hk? or was it really punished by u2?
Was it a blocked far st.HK? If it was, it’s punishable by U2 on block.
None of the people playing against Metroi’d Fuerte seemed to know the matchup… Plus they just didn’t seem all that great. Did that Akuma really have to eat so many U2s? Seemed like he could have jumped out of some, but if not, holy crap.
Took a long break but getting back into it. Hopefully this summer I can play with the DFW scene more often. Been warming up in vanilla and think I’ve improved but I was always awful so we’ll see if anybody notices haha – always had trouble with RSF back then but I picked it up pretty easily shortly after picking the game back up again. Going to pick up some new characters when Super hits but still want to main Fuerte. I made the mistake of relying on random online battles for getting better – only really learn bad habits that way, so I’m going to try and play mostly with local scene and known players online.
He was probably caught hitting buttons instead of being careful - I see Fuerte’s U2 like EZmode vanilla kara TU FADC ultra combo.
3 frames, completely invincible, huge ass damage, midscreen range. If you insist on hitting buttons on an unsafe block string, you’re eating that.
In other words, once Fuerte has ultra, now you have to treat Fuerte with ultra 2 just like how Sagat/Ryu was in old vanilla with 2 EX stocks and ultra.
imo the akuma player didnt know fuerte’s u2, he’s doing unsafe blockstrings + meaty c.lp/lk.
too bad the stream didn feature a lot of tortilla, so we can confirm if the hitbox was really adjusted.
Except you can’t FADC cancel if your move doesn’t connect. It’s really not like that.
I’ll warn everyone now, this new ultra doesn’t mean auto win! Far from it…
Wow Fresh Machoi made U2 look absolutely devastating.
I’m so happy for all the Fuerte players.
I think Mexicopter has to be in the top 5 Ultras in Super, even though we haven’t seen the true potential of Soul Satellite, Shout of Earth, etc.
so i played some more last night, i think cr rh hit box has been moved out more! seems like it reaches farther or his active frames are longer. i caught valle doing cr lk on my wake up and he got punished. im still trying to figure out wat kind of stuff this ultra can punish so i just throw the thing out all the time. now we know even light pokes on elfs wake up are dangerous.
cr.rh does seem better range wise, but I have been thrown out of it, so its still on a bit of the slow side.
Pretty much anything on elfs wakeup will get caught because no move has startup+recovery<3 frames. This doesnt take into account stuff that leaves the ground like srks, or as I found out last night Roses cl.hk
1 more day till the official release!
I was playing my early copy most of the day and the online system is awesome!
