Hope they still have some tweaks left for Bison, he is a buff or two short of where he needs to be.
You’re not actually dash-cancelling the EX-RFA though, so RFADC doesn’t make sense.
EX-FA is the actual name for the normal 2-bar focus cancel out of a normal/special, that has no armor, unlike the neutral stance FA, which has armor. EX-RFA is just an extension of the terminology.
Red focus crumple, or RFC also makes sense.
I disagree. If I had to choose whether to save ex meter or Ultra, I’d save meter any day. 3 meters is also much more affordable, and it creates many more opportunities.
What’s the point in saving the ultra anyway? It’s not like you’re gonna use it anyway lol
Agree with Duaie. They made Bison’s super cost 3 meters and deal more damage. Simply as that.
Exactly … it is like 3 Bar Super … if this 3 Bar Red Focus stays it will change the way you have to play against Bison when he has 3 Bars ready and is sitting on Ultra 1. It will also make light SK pressure more scary because a whiffed light can lead to cr.mk > HK SK RFA Ultra 1 with +400 Damage … which is really kinda scary. This is some kind of balanced comeback factor for Bison. I dont want to overrate this but I honestly think that this is the best buff he currently got in USF4 !!!
Question:
This should also be possible of any normal hit confirm like:
cr.mp > st.mp RFA Ultra 1
st.lk > st.mp RFA Ultra 1
As far as I understand the mechanic the RFA can also be used to cancel a normal that is EX RFA cancelable --> like st.mp !? Are there any other normals that are EX RFA ? Is cr.mp or st.HK cancelable ?
Cheers
It depends on how much faster they make exRFA. As it stands, even with 4 frame faster startup, it’s not fast enough to combo off most mediums, only fierces and special moves.
The range is also an issue
Especially for Bison
I know this is probably old news for everyone, but I was in training mode and I noticed that far mp does 90 damage… I’ve never used that normal, so I never noticed that lol. That’s a lot of damage for a medium!
If they don’t change the damage on that move, then there’s no reason not to use st.mp instead of cr.mk (which does 65 damage) in a combo after a close st.lp, which is also a 2 frame link so it’s still accessible to players with garbage execution like me. With that and SK dealing 10 more damage, that’s roughly 10-20 more damage off of FADC combos! YEAAAAAH damage bitch!
Also, cr.lp, st.lp, cr.mk -> SK (203 damage) will now do 230 damage. Punishing with cr.mp (80 damage) will also be pointless, since the range is not that bigger than far st.mp. That’s something I guess.
Bison got +30 damage in his combos, basically.
Guys we should all pick up a character. All of us, and become a new race, the master race!
It’s time my brothers and sisters, it’s time for us to become one.
I hear your calling my brethren, We ought to make the pilgrimage on a holy Tuesday.
I’m probably going to just add Ryu to my roster of characters. His limbs are dinky as fuck compared to Bison, Rog, and Rose, but he has so many goddamn tools that I feel like I’d never complain about that crap again. I used to not like him, but playing him in Marvel has made me like him more, for some reason.
I was gonna do that, but online makes me hate him, and I’ve dropped Ken.
I was gonna go with Justin 's picks or Cammy. Which were Rufus/Akuma/Sagat/Gouken. Issue is Akuma is indepth after that decent level, making him a crap secondary. Sagat is stiff as hell, I can adapt I guess. Gouken is just not me I think, I cant stand his wakeup options along with his hit box. I don’t mind going dumb with Rufus, he still gets blown up by Guile though.
I hate Bison now but I keep going back lol, plus I’m curious about Ultra.
You are have the same problem every Bison player has lol.
He has the best normals and one of the fastest forward dashes in the game. Right when your foe thinks your gonna dash up and grab then, roundhouse or close s.HP to the face!
I might learn Rolento, but no way will I drop the Dictator
I use both the evil characters right now and have a pocket Cammy. Of the two evil ones E.Ryu is better by a lot. He has ok mobility and he can play a pretty good poke game. The downside is that his major damage is too dependent on st.cl.hp and its hard to trap into it for me at this time. Working on that though
I’ve tried Fei Long and never looked back ever since, he’s everything Bison should have been. But since he’s gonna be poop in ultra, I might go back to Bison, or jump on the Rolento bandwagon.
Fei was my recent one I’ve been trying. Also tried Oni and Cammy before him lol. The nerf bat on Cammy and Fei is what’s making me a bit iffy about them lol. Fei more than Cammy.
Ugh, and why do I lose to the most yolo stuff from Balrog? How does a 5-5 matchup annoy me more than a 7-3?
