I found out the nerf in cr. MK. The reach is the same, but the hitbox only covers half of her leg in height instead of the full leg. It might whiff on some attacks that had lower hurtboxes now.
Yes, nothing changed in that regard.
wtf, EX fireball is +7 on block in VT now??? :amazed: EX fireball > cr. HP/MK is a true blockstring in VT!
What are the frames after her hit grabs? They were all 0 after a dash?
Regular EX fireball always +3 on block?
Looking at the changes like…
Watching that video: standing MK -> standing LP -> elbow. And a bunch of other stuff. She has other combos. My god she is going to CRUSH people.
Good call. H bolt is 0 after dash, but M Bolt follow-ups are both +1 after dash. Was it like that before?
It’s still +3 yes, but in VT it’s +7 now. I still have to realise all the implications of this change.
HOLY FUCK EX GRAB IS PROJECTILE INVINCIBLE
@zektback almost none at all lol. He just got the DP nerf like everyone else.
Watching that video, did they give Laura’s air elbow invincibility frames or something? Or does it connect better early? It seems like it doesn’t get stuffed on startup frames like it used to anymore.
Nope, H bolt looks totally identical and it’s still 7f.
I had heard it was finally getting more/totally invincible after PSX, so hopefully that’s the case.
-8 after mp bolt > P, dash (she’s at +9 without the dash)
+0 after mp bolt > K, dash
What about her CA? Can you get any meaty afterward?
So it definitely got buffed. Good.
Nah, she’s just +1 after CA.
Can somebody tell me how many throws or command throws you need to get 1 bar on S1? Here I get almost 1 bar with 4 throws and 4/5 of a bar with 2 command grabs.
Everything seems to be sounding good so far. Questions:
[list]
[] Considering the nerf to DPs, does Laura’s EX bolt now have armor frame 1? Or can it still get stuffed?
[] Do Thunder Claps still disappear when she’s hit? What about in V-trigger?
[/list]
Damage/stun changes:
cr. HK = 90 dmg (was 100)
overhead = 80 dmg (was 90) but still 100 in VT
forward throw = 120/150 (was 130/200)
back throw = 120/150 (was 120/170)
command throw = +10 dmg on regular grabs (base is 160 for L version); EX version deals same damage but +50 more stun; in VT base damage is 180 (L) and stun is 230, EX grab does 210/280
Also target combo st. MP > st. MK is now +2 on hit (was +1).
P.S. with the M Bolt being +1 after dash you can actually do a meaty EX grab on wakeup after the knockdown.
@NaokiB4U no change in the fireball behaviour and armor on EX bolt is still frame 3.
Lame. Can’t have everything. Does it still hit on the low part of the fireball? If the damage box was just a bit higher it would help this move on jump in tremendously.
@OceanMachine Are you serious? Right now it takes 5 command grabs for 1 bar. and 3 throws for 1 bar.
The projectile hitbox of the fireball looks the same. As I said though EX fireball seems to have a faster recovery, so it might be easier to defend yourself if you throw one and they jump at you.
I don’t think we realised yet that Laura might’ve got her first truly projectile invincible move. Get rekt Guile.
I am. So as I guessed they nerfed the regular throw meter gain but buffed dramatically the command grab one. Overall it looks more rewarding to land command grabs now.
