Her long reach, slow airdash, and random projectiles kinda remind me of Faust (but that might just be because I inadervtedly relate most fighting games back to Guilty Gear <.<)
I htink it was a joke, since everyone says every new character is the new cable 
Somebody already got ‘she’s the new strider/doom’ in earlier 
You think Cheireitou is reliable enough to use as a go to DHC like a Shinkuu Hadouken? For example, you think itd work off of something like Deadpool’s guns or Joe’s Six Machine/Mach Speed?
I only just started playing VS recently and immediately fell in love with Hsien-Ko. As long as pendulum shenanigans are intact she’ll join my team of MODOK and Wesker.
I just noticed Hsien-Ko throws a Yashichi as one of her random projectiles. Bet nobody caught that one.
But does she have like 500 anti-airs?
This is the best thread title.
Good shit/good find. Thats seriously a cool throw back.
Funny that it hurts in this game when i loved seeing them in MegaMan 8 
You have to be within range of the first or second sword to DHC into it I think, so comboing from a laser or such will be tricky.
It just moves so slowly.
Agh that sucks. Probably shouldnt DHC into Hsien-Ko from a full screen move then, unless its to dark force.
I noticed, but didn’t have it’s name in mind (should now, though!) I just always think of it as “that uber item in all the awesome Capcom games of old!” I wonder if it has any special properties here (increased damage, assured dizzy, etc.)
Also, a few thoughts:
> Does anyone else think that the Chain-assisted pull seen here: [media=youtube]W06W2keSgrU&t=2m20s[/media] At the 2:20 mark, might not be a pendulum cancel, but a special 8-way-airdash-alike function, such as spiderman’s web zip / Spencer’s air movement?
> Do you think she has the EX version of her weapon throw (where she rolls 3 spike balls along the ground) in this game in some fashion? I could POSSIBLY see that making it in as an assist myself, and it’d be pretty ace as a good OTG in / near corners.
> If her Gong was changed to a reverse DP, wouldn’t that potentially mess up the ability to tiger-knee back jump with it, depending on how long this game holds commands in buffer? Because of this, I really hope it stays qcb, personally.
> I think Chiereitou will be a great DHC… as long as you keep the enemy within a char space or 2. I could imagine it being one of the best “Number 2 of 3” DHC options, if you’re going to do 3 Hypers, since it hits for a comparatively long time, and leaves them pretty high in the air. So Deadpool close BANG BANG -> Chiereitou -> Chaotic Flame would probably be awesome, for example.
> However, if Tenraiha still has full-screen knockdown, it could be a nice DHC; not for damage, but to allow you to get close to a full-screen opponent after they’ve been hit by a hyper that left them standing.
Her Air Dash looked cancelable. In one video (can’t find it now) she takes one step back then immediately stops and goes into a combo string.
Yeah her gong is pretty good even if it doesn’t reflect beams. Something I saw, and if it has been mentioned I am sorry, that gives her an interesting air approach is mid air gong, then forward dash behind it. Not sure it it’ll work but it looked like it could be possible from the looks of [media=youtube]r6BEAShHefc"[/media] at 1:14. Hell the gong “projectiles” stay out so long you could likely ground gong, air gong then air dash. Perhaps even air gong, air dash, low assist to set up an unblockable?
And Robo, don’t be too sad at the lack of Strider, he was one of my favs too, hopefully DLC will be kind to him.
umm, I think it was always dp, maybe a version difference? I pulled that move from a movelist. qcb is gong.
As to the ES anki, probably not. It might be the most ass move in all the vampire games, and it can’t overcome the congealed hate.
At least to the first one, I think that’s just an immediate pendulum cancel.
Also, fuck the people who think she’s too moe; always making mountains out of molehills. Her voice is just as lilting in VS; it’s just that Marvel 3 is a much chattier game than the VS series and because of that, the English VA is saying words instead of grunts. Juggling weapons is awesome and I don’t even care about the fall on ass opening.
You want an overabundance of moe, you play dat Arcana.
I don’t get it either, but you know how it is, no accounting for what bugs people
Your last point is exceptionally valid tho’, Hsien Ko ain’t got nothin’ on Cute!
I’ve been wondering if Tenraiha’s spikes fall fast enough to DHC it from air hypers.
Air Hyper DHC Tenraiha bringing the opponent back to the ground DHC Whatever sounds sooooooo sexy.
In VS, she could do a lot of things after a instantly cancelled pendulum, from double jumping to airdashing and even using another pendulum. So my guess would be no, it’s just a regular pendulum.
TK Gong was used as an AA in VS, wasn’t it? I’d say, without the ES Gong, there’s not much of a reason to actually TK it.
did he edit that from pendulum or am I just crazy?
Fixed. While I’m not particularly fond of her voice, I think it’s fine for her character. My favorite VAs so far are Dormammu and Sentinel’s. Love that stuff.
I really like Phoenix’s. When she goes DPh “I can’t control it” so epic.
LoL, nope, didn’t edit it. I was trying to parse what you meant, lol. Understood now. I saw others talking about Gong being changed, to prevent Houten Geki overlap, so I was refering to that (rather late, however).
Didn’t know of HATE for EX Anki, though. I personally disliked Chuukadan more… Anki was at least a nice way to get a bit more damage during Tenraiha, sometimes… (Pursuit was preferred though…)
It’d be great if if they started to fall from the height of the opponent, but I suspect they’ll simply fall from “hammerspace” at “slightly off screen” area…
On review of vid, it seems she did the Pendulum out of Super jump, so I guess the momentum is from a modified super jump. It’s cool if it’s just pendulum, of course, but a special upper-angled chain-dash would be kinda cool, too.
Hmmm, I’d figure it’d be nice simply to double up gong-waves, and punish people who try to fireball backjumping. The duration of normal gong here remind me of old ES Gong anywho…
