Thatâs all for now. The changes are much more radical than I expected. It will be very interesting to see how it turns out, and also how popular it will be.
That means Krauser low tier, Eiji lightning fast fireball and Ex Geese full screen Raging Storm, hahahahahh.
At least Geese DP will be safer or less risky, it was only useful comboing from lows the A version, and C version from C in the corner for q.max.
Thanks Remxi, Rogueyoshi, BiGGDaddyCane and a11111357.
Lot of changes, AoF team buffed, specially the fireballs. Weird the change to 6A in Ex Ryo. Nice zoning with Robert with CD and 6A. I just hope they make a little less strict the timing to pull off q.max combos, just a little to make more fun the gameplay and more reward to save the MAX activation (less damage) and execution, ohh and keep the same lenght in ex pow bar :wgrin:.
And Lucky wasnât buffed?
Lol, he will always be the joke character, even within the Sports Team
Hey, SNKPâŚFUCK YOU.
Iâm still curious about the fact they nerfed Krauser but BUFFED Geese.
Can someone explain what the hell is up there?
Doesnât seem like he got much at all. And it seems like theyâre buffing everyone but Top 3. Beni & Brian are going to be stupid as shit now.
wow, everyone buffed! awesome
98UM was probably my favorite 2D fighter nowâŚbut 98 UMFE is going to replace it surely.
Canât wait. Tier Lists arenât what I thought at all.
I canât wait to play this game, I wonder how long we will waitâŚ
Vids damn youâŚVIDS!!!
Yeah vids will be nice I wonder if heavy d will have some new combos.
hereâs hoping those 10 characters are either brand new or from other games and not EX version of already existing characters.
are you even going to frosty faustings
today?!
thereâs only 2k2 UM and itâs for xbox I donât have a stick for xbox, besides I havenât played 2k2UM in a while.
I like melty blood but Iâm a complete noob in that game
I might just go and watch though
damn thats some sf4 style changes. brian and ex geese = lmao. ex geese and o.yashiro seem like more of a lock to any team. ex geese was already a fav and now yashiro has a FAST empty jump into low mixup w/ close D. idk how fast his close D is, but its pretty fast and in the older games like 98, all close heavy attacks are faster than crouching Bs. so thatll be harder to block than chris or kyo empty hop into low b.
The new av is alright.
But donât get ahead of yourself. >:|
Haha, Fuck you Wolfgang, Get Dat Nerf Hammer Ya Top Tier Bastard.
