Eh, most to everyone else is also getting these changes, so whatever.

Very nice - Never going to complain about more damage. Especially in this sort of game

Huzzah! Law’s Anti Air is now viable as an anti-air! Half the start up, invincibility frames, and more damage. Law’s major buff for sure!

That had armor?!
I’m really bummed about dragon knuckle not causing crumple state anymore. That move setup a lot of reset options, but maybe EX will still cause crumple.
Either way I’m hype for anti airs. Somersault is going to be amazing for poorly spaced jump ins.
Same here, those anti-airs were sorely needed. That was my only aggravation playing as Law.
Also, could you tag off of the crumple? it seemed like whenever I tried to (searching for re-stand/reset gimmicks), he just went into the knuckle anyway.
"• Fury Fist Rush - Reduced push back on block"
Sooo will EX FFR be punishable now also? curious because Somersault L/M are only invincible against air attacks.
"• Machine Gun Arrow - Can transition to One Two Elbows up until the 3rd hit of Machine Gun Arrow"
omfg
• Dragon Knuckle - Crumple Damage ->long blowback normal damage
Reduced push back on block
• Dragon Knuckle Combo - Removed armor properties
I used it as anti-air. But atleast now flashkick is an even more usable anti-air
But I still don’t see why they would nerf this, it wasn’t really overpowered or anything… too many people falling for the 2nd hit I guess then they should remove the armor on Hugo’s moves too… makes no sense. In 2013 there is no reason to use the “Dragon Knuckle Combo”, as I notice people hitting my armor WAY to often to even try delay it without armor
EDIT: Forgot to ask, what does it mean to have “long blowback normal damage”? like what does a “long blowback” look like? Does it look like the last hit of HP fist fury?
• Dragon’s Fire - Damage 120->130
• Run Up to Drop - Damage 120->130
what attacks are these? ah… it’s the throws… google ftw…
Flash Kick - Midair combo counter usage changed to 2
What was it before? If it was 1, does this mean the trial where we need to do alot of them in a corner won’t work anymore? I wonder… atleast flash kick itself does more damage and we may get more damage even if we can’t get in so many hits in a juggle, cause of lower scaling with more damage per hit
• Dragon Knuckle - Crumple Damage ->long blowback normal damage
And I ask again in case you didn’t see it in my last post. What does “long blowback” look like? last hit of (hp) fist fury rush? meaning we can only follow up with a flying dragon kick (maybe)? and knuckle combo in corner? Or is that more like it does now on a midair hit? you probably know as little as I do I just have to ask in case “long blowback” is a normal SF description
Do you guys think Law can still connect a cr.HP after HK flash kick in combos after the patch? It’s a big buff to have an anti-air but I think Law is going to be boring without his big tag combos.
Law can’t be boring! :razzy: He is just way to damn cool to ever be boring. And he’s still going to have most of his fancy stuff outside of flip kick combos isn’t he?
Soooooo… am I misunderstanding something about the juggle count and how it works? Going to steal a quote from Lone Dragon:
Sooooo would the increased juggle count make Somersaults juggle better?
Sorry if this is a silly question, my extent of juggle system understanding is “try it out in training… did it work? Awesome!”
then they should remove the armor on Hugo’s moves too… makes no sense. In 2013 there is no reason to use the “Dragon Knuckle Combo”, as I notice people hitting my armor WAY to often to even try delay it without armor
