so after thinking about it, fei will be slightly worse than he was in super
i think he’s back to losing to all charge characters, and some of the even matches he had back then will be worse
Easily. You could even claim he’s been reset almost. Each gradual buff has eventually ended up being offset with these new nerfs. Any other nerf to his frame advantage could have easily made him the worse rendition yet.
I think still think he’ll be a good character for good players, us lowly live warriors are going to find it tough again though.
I’d be surprised if Mago doesn’t go back to Sagat.
yeah, only way mago sticks is if there isnt a character who is clearly better
i think all but the dedicated fei long character loyalists will leave
so am i crazy for thinking the rekka 2 nerf may have unexpected advantages.
like if people know to punish after 2, then rekka 1 just became much more safe as people wait on the punish the second.
also, they will be itching to hit a button after 2, so a delayed 3rd for counter hit wont be a terrible idea
I was thinking about that as well, it’ll definitely change the theory around all rekka usage. It’ll be impossible to know until we get time to flesh it out with 2012. The question is, how much will it really change about rekka 1? Do you guys often play people who attempt to punish the first one? I mean I typically don’t see it unless it’s obviously a really poorly spaced one like I drop a combo and they block a fierce rekka deep. If they opt out of punishing in that situation hoping for a huge punish after a second then that’s pretty awesome for us.
they usually dont go for a full punish, but they will hit a button to poke me out of further pressure
Seems like Capcom has begun releasing AE: 2012 Beta change list.
I’m anxious to see what they might toy around with for Fei Long in this round of tweaks and location testing.
Special canceling crouching mediums become possible. Rekkaken series screen carry reduced by 3/4.
I’ll go ahead and quote Star Wars.
" I have a bad feeling about this…"
if anyone is paying attention, theres a decent fei on the beta loc test stream on srks front page
edit-bodied by a honda. he did manage to take out a really good chun tho
I’ve been starting to wonder if the Rekkukyaku hitbox adjustment will somehow affect the times where when we perform a corner Shienkyaku xx FADC Rekkukyaku and our opponent gets shift to out of the corner but all 3 hits still make contact.
Does anyone know if there has been footage of location tests that might show if this adjustment has or hasn’t had some effect on this?
For me it will be bad i dont think we can’t use any of the wake up cwing anymore besides i used to use lk cwing on wake up and when it crossed up and it was safe now it looks like we’ll get punished for it.
Hey guys I wonder if you could all help me. I am trying to find a file that was posted on SRK a while back and I hope you all can help. The file was a link to a 9gb file that had videos of all the players hitboxes. I am trying to get that file so I can get every characters hitboxes down as well as add the AE hitbox changes to further assist the AE app that is on the iphone. So your help would be extremely helpful
Hit up Emblemlord in the Sagat forums mate. He’s just done that with Sagat. I’m sure he’ll point you in the right direction, he’s pretty helpful.
He doesn’t like me because when we played each other he was laggy as shit and he didnt like to be called out for mashing DP during block strings. He went on to say he “I don’t mash” but replay shows him mashing DP hard. Thanks anyhow I will ask around
why did you have to “call him out on it”? its punishable, and for every mash tactic, theres a counter tactic. i’ll just lay this out there. some of it you may know, some you may not. not just for you, but for general use to anyone else who may have a problem against mashing
-chain cancelled jabs and shorts cant be mashed out of. you can do stuff like cr.lk, st.lk, step back for mash bait. if no mash, you can walk back in and throw., or cr.jab rekkaX1 to counter hit a crouch tech short
-stagger strings like the one i put above are very useful. they train people to not press buttons, therefore opening up more offensive options
-if you time late cross ups on wake up to apply pressure on wake up to dp characters, the cross up dosent always leave enough block stun, and creates a mash gap on block. this is where you see players block the jump in and immediately grind the corners
-to beat this, you have 2 options. dont cross up, and jump in with fierce/roundhouse. this is tricky because it usually requires a canned setup because of feis heavys not having cross up boxes. you have to make your jump in meaty and space it so the reversal dp will pass under you
- the other option is to time your jump late like you normally would to beat a reversal, and dont press anything. just late empty jump throw. if they are mashing dp, the empty jump will still cause the reversal timed dp to whiff. also if they are block/dp mashing, they cant stand tech your throw, while waiting for your crossup to make contact
mashing works, but it still carrys a huge risk if your opponent doesent have meter. the most important tip against mashing IMO, is to make the most of a successful bait. always go for a max punish combo or ultra if available. they will think about it the next time if the risk equals the loss of a round from a 300+ combo
on wake up you can use magos step back cr.lp rekka. it takes a bit of practice to time properly, but basiclly you start backing away when they begin the wake up annimation. time your cr. jab late enough so that you can hit any wake up jabs/shorts, and also block a reversal
This was a while back and he mashed during my BNB but with PSN and lag it messed me up. It’s cool I learned a lot from when I last face him. This all took place way before CEO in fact so I have leveled up a lot since then.
lol. yeah, unfortunately you cant do shit about lag mashing thru your combos on hit. the counter tactic to that is to not play vs laggy mofo’s
argh. one of those nights on ranked. from 3300 all the way back to 2500, then back up to 2701.
so much losing
Mike, back to Fei again?
yeah, have been for about a month or so. mostly training mode
im really rusty in most of the matchups tho. like i know what to do, but i dont react instinctively to anything
EDIT-more losses. calling it a night @2400.lmao
i actually won more when i started trolling people with chicken wing 50/50s towards the end
