Mega Man,PAC-MAN,Cole,Kuro and Toro have low health because they are joke characters. They are intended to be bad
Sakura, Elena og Elena just have the standard vag-tax (Alisa is a robot)
Does that mean she has a fleshlight tax instead then?
Poison having 950 health. Female confirmed!

Really? I can agree with Elena and Guy - where the hell did their hitboxes go? - but Alisa feels pretty complete to me.
Well i did her trials and played around in training mode, but i can’t just see here compete with the other chars with the current tools. Like whats her meterless hitconfirm outside of abc launch? Whats her game plan?
I could understand if this was true with the other characters, but Cole (A freaking Super-hero/villain) being considered a joke character is pretty weird as pretty much everything about the guy is serious.
Also,apparently Cole was seen as extremely overpowered and was heavilly nerfed during development due to him winning all of Capcom’s internal tournaments, so likely his heal wasn’t nearly as bad during development.

I’ve been working with her for some time now. Can’t say much about her gameplan for now since I’ll only learn that once I actually start fighting people with her, but she feels a lot like Poison but with a lot more damage. A pokey-rushdown character that can zone as well. Gotta see frame data for frame traps and such.
But yeah, there’s something deeply wrong with Elena that I hope it’s due to her being a somewhat incomplete hacked version.
Happy about this, team british boxer is go
I don’t get why julia hasn’t got vag-tax though. She a solid character at worst and the health nerf probably wouldnt be much of an issue for her :L
I think PAC-Man and Megaman are obvious joke characters.
Kuro/Toro/Cole might have low stamina because they are console exclusive.
Are you sure that Pac-Man and Mega Man will be released for 360 too?
Well, i mean their whole data is on the 360, thanks to the hackers, so I’d assume they will make them available for download eventually along with the DLC characters.
Actually, Jack-X does have links with his squat kicks. They just require good timing and can’t be mashed out. His ground punch works great for zoning similar to C. Viper. His anti-air DP is near invincible and leads to a free juggle. His normals do have slow startup but have awesome range. His machine-gun punch has very fast startup, is relatively safe and can be mashed if someone is trying to lock you down. He’s not as bad as you say he is.
His kicks is not a link, its a target combo. Also the first part rep does not even combo. And when i said links i was talking about linking 2 normals into specials, because technically his lp dp to lp dp is a link, or jump fierce to st.fierce.
Groundpunch is slow as hell, and its not safe on block. Ton of supers can punish it or alpha counters.
LP anti air does not have invu, only mp and hp and they dont give any juggles and only do 100damage. Also it has short range can wiff if they emptyjump. Also weak against crossups.
[INDENT=1][FONT=Helvetica]And i dont see how machinegun punch has a fast startup is relevant, you cant input it without buffering from a normal so the startup is (almost) irrelevant. Mashing specials with no invu during blockstrings is not a good idea. Did you mash ex leggs with chun online by any chance? lol [/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Helvetica]And no, he is not kuma/blanka bad, but he is weak.[/FONT][/INDENT]
Oh, in that case, target combos seem to be the way to go.
During a blockstring, no I don’t mash legs, and I don’t use Chun. I meant when a character is trying to advance and lock you down.
DP is still an anti-air nonetheless.
A big character like that, what he needs is a command grab.
Geez, I could feel that sass all the way over here.
Now that I know Julia hasn’t been hit by the Vag-Tax i’m gonna try her out.
I hate low health characters.
Btw about that target combo that can be “bugged”. What you do is his 3x mp target combo, and after the second hit you do a far standing fierce and cancle the startup frames of the fierce into ex specials or super. Not sure if this is a bug or intended. He can also do this from a raw fierce. So you can do kara anti air or charge punch for slightly more range.
