Ryu has…? He certainly doesn’t have enough keep away tools.
ryu has… an aimable shynkuu-hadouken.
…
Yay.
I could give a fuck less about Ryu’s viability in this game. I always got annoyed when someone decided to pick a shoto out of the 40+ more interesting characters in mvc2.
I love her in the comics but I don’t like her in the game that much.
Well, X-23 won’t be having any projectiles anytime soon. Credits to Deva-Princess from Capcom Unity for getting this little nugget of information from Seth himself.
*"Apart from not having projectiles, X-23 plays nothing like Wolverine. The “clone” remark is based on her story, where she was created from Wolverine’s genetic material. That’s it! Additional videos will make this clearer than I could in a 40 page doc, so I’ll have to ask you to wait for a few more of those–you won’t have to wait very long…
best,

Thats the whole point. He’s boring because he’s not viable. He doesn’t have that MAHVEL flair. Why not give it to him?
For that to happen they’d have to really overhaul him & give him new stuff, which Capcom won’t ever do.
Ryu has never really been a rushdown OR keepaway character to me. Just there as backup. Or something.
And nah, CAPCOM has shown they know he needs more to make him viable, like, of course, a controllable shinkuu, and rushdown properties on tatsumaki; though no video so far has shown Ryu kicking ass at all really.
I’m liking X-23. She’s just my style, stupid fast rushdown, nothing but. She’s in contest with Wesker though…
If Ryu had his ‘dark’ transformation from Marvel 1, he’d be more interesting (and it would make some canon sense.)
I’m planning to main X-23.
Her voice is ok, for me, since the comic-X seems to vary depending on the writer involved.
Lol I was just saying the same thing about the Evil Ryu treatment possibly making him more viable in the general discussion thread. He could definitely use a buff and SF fans would be pleased.
X-23 needs a trigger scent buff for one of her hypers.
Hmm? Only time she was really different was when Claremont was involved. Most of the time it was Kyle and Yost (her creators) writing her and she was pretty consistent. Even Marjorie Liu is sticking pretty closely to Kyle and Yost’s interpretation.
Guys, you really need to watch this video. It totally changed my opinion of X-23. She does some crazy aerial strings with her hop cancels (one which ends up in 35+ hits), and her level 3 is awesome.

Yeah, she looked really potentially dangerous in that vid
She looks much more interesting than she did in the trailer.
She looks like a complete rape machine in every one of those new videos.
I WAS telling people she’s nothing like Wolvie.
I like that command grab aswell.
Perhaps this will be a lesson for people to wait until they see what a character can do before labeling them a waste of a slot.
Nah, probably not.
Anyway, X-23’s hop loop combo thing brings to mind Iron Man’s infinite, even though this obviously won’t be quite as potent (as it won’t be quite as infinite). Still, it’s nice to see things like it in the game to break up some of the monotony of combo, launch, combo, bounce, otg, super.
Couldnt be more right.
I dont think the game needs magnus anymore.
Of course it does.
