I keep posting in the SFV thread out of habit.
Still trying to feel out chars in this game. I’ve read/watched a lot leading up to this but getting hands on is a different thing. Initially thought it might be Ferry for me but not feeling her (nothing against the char, more the archetype). Couple more candidates to mess with next time I can play.
Also how many ranking matches do you have to play before they let you out of the kiddie pool?
Think I’m gonna stick with gran, then have a secondary for the ferry matchup lol. Trying out narmaya. Not sure how she does in the ferry matchup
“Sagat with a jetpack” is one of the better character descriptors I’ve read in awhile.
“Morrigan” is also an apt comparison tbh.
So can narmaya only link into a medium on crouchers? Her confirms are a little rough and not having any safe specials up close besides ex slash is a pain online lol.
I guess she has 2L stance change cl. 5m on standing opponents I think
narmaya is probably legit terrible and can’t actually open Ferry up, so I think probably poorly.
Also that character overview video is both bad and shallow.
Played one ferry today and the only thing I feel she really brings to the matchup is buffering counter pokes into command dash confirms. Which lots of other characters can already kind of do. Midrange with the threat of ex slash isnt too bad either.
Yea, none of that pressure is real. She has to use the universal mechanics to really open people up. Problem with her is that she has to use the auto combo most of the time to confirm any sort of damage. So you get a lot of scaling. She seems like a character that’s meant to excel in the midrange but isnt quite the best even at that
Her tk air special is pretty decent throw bait. Leads to corner combo and is plus on block
Haven’t gotten to look at her yet, but Twitter seems to not think very highly of Narmaya, swaggy corner loops aside. Is that accurate?
She definitely seems really rough around the edges but still only day 3. Gonna try to play her a little differently today
Got to play this for all of 2 minutes.
Really nice that Gran gets to link a standing M from cr L. Is cr.L + on block too?
Cl. L, 2L, and cl. 5M are all plus
God bless GranBlue ken.
Change ryus cr. mp to cl. mp to being plus in sfxt and you pretty much use the same buttons between the two. The link timings are even really similar.
Gran even has a charge cancel and a special cancelable sweep lol. Pretty much the same character
Also had an OD boot in vanilla with his joudan kick 
Question from a layman:
If DPs can be airblocked but grounded normals (ie, Crouching Heavy) cannot, what’s the benefit of using a DP over an AA normal?
Simple answer is, they’re invincible. Also dps are air unblockable, just have to hit deep jumpins
