Slayer will just start combos with footsies and his amazing normals. Mappa RC will give you, presumably/potentially, better damage because of timestop, and the new RC in general will allow for some cool things.
Imagine this; 6H (Y?)RC>Bite. Or even something like 2D RC. As long as 5P can actually combo into j.K, he’ll be covered on the AA parts. (It either doesn’t work, or is ridiculously tight in #R.) I doubt he’ll have a lot of his useful links/delayed gatlings from AC, but he’ll still have stuff. Hell, hit confirming 5K>Mappa will be easier with the slightly increased hitstop. Reload style 6K and lack of Mappa feints are, imo, some of the worst traits about him, but I’m sure he’ll still be fun and strong.
Yep, Ky stepped his game up. He’s improved. Everyone else, we’ll have to see in action. I’m expected Sol’s new kick to create some new midscreen juggle combos. Riot Stamp giving a free combo on hit is nice and all but meh. Improved DI is 50/50 to me. Looks cool, great Tyrant Rave buff and command grab buff but still it’s DI. Why not something else that made Sol better at RSTD.
Fb drill was kinda obnoxious anyways. Eddie can play a damn good neutral game with his floating normals and shadow shenanigans. All he has to do is get in once to start the vortex, this aint really gonna hurt him in the grander scheme of things. I know it always hurts to see the OP character get taken down a rung but it could be worse.
Nothing is as epic and Talim (Soul Calibur) and Rachel (BB) nerf.
So let’s see how the returning cast has changed:
-Sol: Dive kick, air DI (who knows, might be relevant this time)
-Ky: Complete overhaul, much more projectile heavy now
-Millia: ???
-May: ???
-Pot: Didn’t he get some new moves or something?
-Faust: Items changed around, isn’t as combo-happy as R+ version
-Venom: ???
-Eddie: DRILL PLZ (just kidding, he’s fine)
-Slayer: Seems to play more toward his original game plan, less crazy combos/confirms
-Axl: ???
-Chipp: ???
-I-No: Changes to her inputs and the RC system mean she may need to be reevaluated as far as execution and confirms go
-Bedman: Seems to revolve around shadow moves/projectiles and setting up his instant kill
-Valentine: Seems to play similar to Mu from BB. Could be interesting vs the GG roster. (Already getting a headache imagining all the shit vs Venom)
I think you need a Nico Nico account. I couldn’t watch until I logged onto mine.
EDIT:
Xrd portion of the stream is done. Initial D up next I think. Kurushii says that DFC is in an hour. Still a couple of stream monsters making inappropriate comments.
I dont think Bedman revolves around setting up IK seeing as they changed the stun on his special or something, either that or I think his IK startup is longer.
EDIT: Then again sone tried to combo into IK on stream so hey…
Nothing really impressive just good clear footage this time.
Well, the speed of the game is great. Not worried about that in the least. Roman cancels also arent as bad as I had originally thought unles they have been sped up. Yellow Roman Cancels on whiffed moves is stupid tho.
