OceanMachine:

Very happy about the version select. Though there will probably only be Bedman and Raven mains on Rev1.

Except Raven mains are happy with Rev 2 changes while Bedman mains are sad but otherwise OK

Humour

Humour (British English) or humor (American English; see spelling differences) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humours (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), controlled human health and emotion. People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. Most people are able to experience humour—be amused, smile or laugh...

Raven seems to be one of the few who, on paper, became significantly more interesting going from Rev1 to Rev2 imo; his changes are actually pretty legit

I’m aware you were trying to be funny. But the thing is that jokes aren’t funny if they don’t make sense.

bleh, nevermind

PVL_93_RU · 2017-03-26T18:28:51.000Z

Watching Kazunoko beat Rion and Samitto with Raven makes me happy.

yeah i actually think Raven is better in Rev2 on paper.

The 6p change doesn’t really matter(can still 6p 5s, or CH 6P xx command grab(which now gives you 3 excitement), Kugel nerf is only really bad if you aren’t creative(watch that archive to see how kaz handles it), slash super draining excitement is whatever as you’re generally using it for round closing or as a reversal when you won’t have excitement anyways, stance change negatively impacts the Pot matchup but i understand why they made the change with the overall changes to how his meter mechanics work now and that matchup is nice for raven anyways.

excitement gain being overall easier is a huge buff, faster impuls with excitement is a buff(helps top end damage+blockstrings), and most characters got weakened.

So Raven on average does more damage, stance is a way bigger deterrent for zoning+more useful to option select, he should be just as good at keeping momentum when he has it already, but it’s a little harder to get that started and anti air combos require a bit more timing sometimes.

Plus due to the changes in his mechanics, Raven players have started to lab more because there are good reasons to do different things now. Making the character more interest, less linear, and empowering people to hit the lab is just going to make him more fun.

If it didn’t make sense you wouldn’t have understood it.
You just wanted to correct the initial reactions to those changes to show that you know the scene. It’s cool bro.

Veserius · 2017-03-27T03:03:06.000Z

just because we get what you were going for doesn’t make it funny or well constructed.

OceanMachine · 2017-03-27T03:08:09.000Z

Ok

He’s not wrong, gotta swing my e-dick somewhere and SRK is perfect for that

drunkards_walk · 2017-03-27T07:42:49.000Z

One cool thing about Rev2, May lame loops are going to become a lot more crucial, which is a pretty fun aspect of the character imo

Skiegh · 2017-03-27T09:53:35.000Z

New trailer is great, and the song in it is amazing. Getting similar feels like I got from the first Xrd trailer.

TheDarkPhoenix · 2017-03-27T19:01:25.000Z

Looking to get into this, how good is Jack-o?

OceanMachine · 2017-03-27T19:05:28.000Z

She’s low mid right now and will likely be lower in Rev2

Naeras · 2017-03-27T19:17:49.000Z

Which means that she’s a good character overall. If you think she’s fun, pick her. She can absolutely do work for you.

Raging_Zoroark · 2017-03-27T19:34:08.000Z

Jack O is mad fun to play as (but not as much to play against, right @OceanMachine ?). You build an army to help you in battle, you can enhance it, protect it or blow everything up. Her normals are decent overall, she has options on offensive (crossup, command grab and overhead) and her execution is actually pretty simple.

The only thing I don’t understand is why scrubs think she’s hard to use:

O⊥S 『Nightmare Entity』 (ShadowClawZERO)

I keep my screenshot for laughs.

Jack-O is pretty strong. Technically she’s weaker in Rev 2 but mostly if you’re very servant-reliant

Her new Aegis should definitely make things interesting

“Decent” is a gross understatement, dude. She’s up there in terms of normals.

The only thing I don’t understand is why scrubs think she’s hard to use:

I suspect the guy in the screenshot plays Jack-O. =V
She does have some difficult things though (setups that use minions to greatly extend combos exist), but overall she’s one of the easiest characters to pick up imo.
