That a good thing?
Hah. It would be, but likely it doesnât interact with hypers at all, just like MODOKâs shield.
Lei Leiâs normals look sick. Those normals + the super armor special, seem like they could be ridiculous.
about gong:
We canât be thinking in mvc2 engine rules. Itâs entirely likely that in 3 beams follow different rules for reflecting than bullets do. Against ammy theyâre just eaten, donât have any wonky reflect effects at all, and its likely to be the same with beams. I have a personal guess that beams will kill the gong shockwave while being cancelled too, but thatâs largely speculation.
about her projectile, I get the feeling that it might not interact with other projectiles at all, but go through them, but have them go through hers as well. I think the vids support this, but I need to rewatch them to try to be sure. This would be bad for her in general, but good for certain assist setups and when the projectile is a stun.
Actually, didnât Cold Star get reflected and Ammy ate it?
Yep, Ammy wound up eating a couple of hits from a reflected Cold Star.
you shut your mouth this instant
C Cold Star might not be affected. Maybe
Wassamatta bro? Afraid Ammy might have to do some work for a change?
puts on shades
You may be right. I would be really mad if her projectiles went through Dark Holes thoughâŚ
Cold Stars are like Chunnerâs lightning legs assist. Amazing if it hits, but if it doesnât, say bye-bye to Ammy. One of the recent Skrull videos posted showed him using his teleport attack and connecting with her (as an assist) in the middle of the shots.
I think he was talking about Amaterasuâs Solar Flare (counter move), not the projectiles. At least one of the versions of the counter reflects projectiles IIRC. So if her counter doesnât reflect beams (the beam just gets negated), then heâs assuming that something similar will happen with the gong.
I always put in work. puts on Ray Bans
I meant the C version. Where she jumps. IDK if the gong would reflect back up forward.
you guys misunderstood me entirely. I meant Ammyâs anti-projectile solar flare eats beams and doesnât even try to reflect them.
I think gong and Cold star would basically cancel out because its an even number of hits (altho cold star takes so long to fire it might outlast the gong)
Solar flare is where we have to look if we want to understand how the gong shockwave will work.
Taskmasterâs arrows get reflected back down at him, so I dunno.
But weâve seen cold star get reflected and ammy eating it.
But that wasnât entirely mashed out. And she wasnt blocking. The official vids always make the âoldâ characters look super dumb.
I was just saying that they donât just cancel each other, gong wins. Ammy is at the very least forced to block.
It probably depends on how far Ammy is shooting from. In [media=youtube]_APiY9nEycw&t=0m51s"[/media], Amaterasuâs shots are so fast that she gets hit out of the move by the reflected shot before the next one comes out, so they donât negate each other. The same thing would probably happen to C cold star, since sheâs guaranteed to be close to the gong wave during that version, and we know from the reveal trailer that projectiles get reflected back in the direction they came.
Damn you Hsien-Ko! Me & my bitch will be back.
Iâm gonna be reviewing A LOT of DS/VS vids because i know NOTHING about her abilitiesâŚnot that much anyway. i wasnât looking forward to her when i heard sheâd be in the game (Huitzil woulda been better), but she looks pretty good. Iâm pretty sure her dash will crossup, post pendulum trickery, takes damage well, deals OK damage, then of course, GOOOONNNNNGGGG. If gong is an assist, that may force ppl to counterpick with teleporters. iâm more looking forward to pendulum as an assistâŚarmored pendulum will be fuckery when you canât pushblock it, canât counter it, AND the point character can hide behind its animation so they cant see whats going on.
Can someone whoâs familiar with VS answer some questions for me.
How does her IAD work in VS games? Is it just u/f~f?
Does gong reflect some of her own projectiles?
Yeah, in the vid with Ammy Lei Leiâs gong reflect the cold star back pretty quickly. But in another vid it didnât reflect Chrisâs shotgun but cancelled. The shotgun blast does good damage, looks like with projectiles we have to look at the damage and health. Gong seems to work if the damage of the gong is greater than the damage of the projectile. Arthurâs lance reflected but also destroyed the gong where I believe Ammyâs cold star didnât completely kill the gong. It was still moving. OR I may be wrong.
I think that was a case of the shotgun blast being multiple projectiles at once. The ones in front negated the ones behind them, is my guess. Amaterasu fires one projectile at once, and quickly, but apparently not quickly enough to negate the reflected one except maybe at longer ranges.
