KILL! The Urien SFV thread!

Unless Aegis (or something similar) is his V-Trigger but can be performed many times (similar to Alex’s V-Trigger), we won’t see multiple Aegis’ on screen. It’s quite likely it’ll be a V-Trigger or CA, and not be performable multiple times upon activation. Personally, I think most CAs are not utility based but are used for damage and cinematic value, so my hunch is on Aegis not being a CA.

He could end up getting his old Super Arts as EX moves, like Ryu, Ken and Alex have, probably for EX Metallic Sphere and EX Chariot Tackle?

Having only one Aegis at a time is possibly the worst nerf you could apply to a character

One Aegis would be a huge bummer.

I could see EX Sphere being a weaker Temporal thunder, since EX sphere was ass in 3S. I don’t see anything but Tyrant Slaughter being his CA

I’m thinking Capcom might make Urien full motion. Would make sense considering the changes for Vega

Nah, they’ll definitely keep Urien charge but may give him motion Super, seeing how Alex mostly retained his inputs from 3S

Weren’t all his supers motion in 3S anyway? He’ll probay just be the same character fundamentally just a few changes to make him fit the SFV system and not be busted

The best part about 3S was that he was still only mid tier even though he had busted stuff. Well really Aegis was the only thing busted about him. If it wasn’t for Aegis and no absolute guard he would be lower tier like he was in 2I and pretty honest overall.

I’m betting they make him hybrid charge/motion. Something similar to Necalli/Chun.

That’s what he is in 3s.
Good bet. Lol

Aegis as a CA would be dumb. Aside from Sim’s potential mixup, CAs are just raw damage and they should keep it that way so there is uniformity. V-trigger is where they can mix it up. Rashid’s is pretty lame though so if Aegis is anything like that… it would suck.

If they fuck up this character I’m hiring an old gypsy to put a curse on capcom…

Aegis should work like Rose’s orbs. Pop your v-trigger and you get two charges to expend when you please with qcb+p or something.

Make him extra thick. Solid. Tight.

Keep the suit rip intro.

Give him an alt where he wears a suit so his intro is him ripping out of one suit to reveal a second suit underneath it.

aigis is gonna be v trigger and work exactly like rashids except it wont move forward but it will have aditional damage and juggle potential so it will only be useful on confirm ofc.

I’m not going to get my hopes up at all they make urien cool.

He’ll look like Urien but all his moves and animations will be from Blanka in IV.

He is going to be tough to balance. I definetly feel that he has the potential to be powerful in 5 if they keep his moveset though. In 3s the only thing that good about him was aegis since other zoning tools like longe range pokes and a fireball weren’t good in general in 3s. Also knee dive also could be strong if they keep it where he is pluss if he hits them on the toes. And aegis could go either way. It might be ridiculously cheap giving a potentially high damage character a 50/50 mixup that leads to high damage. But they could balance it by giving extra scaling (i hope not as bad as ryu) or make it so he only gets 1 aegis (i hope not since it is only useful in the corner.

Sigh i remember how wide eyed and innocent i was when i created this thread, before this game soured my soul :frowning:

Chun Li always keeps my soul whole.

Just need some teenage ninja and I’m all good.

Naked man would be cool too.

Why so much theory fighting?

Urien is going to be hard to balance? Compared to what? Zangief vs Fang? Laura vs Chun? Nash vs Bison?

The game already is in need to rebalancing. Snowballing this idea that hes going to steamroll the cast because he has an air fireball lol…this is how you make devs overreact and nerf the shit out of characters. We already had 50/50 blender setups with Mika and shes still mid tier.

Look at beta Bison.

Please. Let Urien be great. The character is already doomed and he doesnt come out until the end of the summer.

His CA is the shoulder tackle and his V is the Aegis
