Wait…so you’re not playing Cathy? I’ll play Cathy. MiniCathy is gdlk.
What happened to Kira and the standing 1080?
Gatherings.
Matt said no to Kira a while ago un(?)fortunately.
Petra is fun.
Fiona is silly.
Elsa is a Belmont.
Kamui does a lot of damage.
holy shit latif just smacked clakey and not with his hands either.
I mean, I could still end up playing Kira. There are a lot of arcanas I want to test out with her, but there are things that were done to that character that I can’t comprehend, the most notably being that 5B is air blockable now. I hated what I felt when I played her at NEC, but in all fairness, I didn’t know wtf I was doing. Regardless, I wanna mess with other characters too.
Clairice opinions? Wanna play a good character, i like the distant claw swipe things, but cant tell if thats viable zoning or simply for combos… (seems like alot of recovery…) Also good combinations for her?? So far I’ve only seen earth…
Basically Im operating on a month of hardcore ah1 play but even all the old characters move/combos look different. Wanna play this but with so many games i wanna play comming out want a character with great/all the tools (i played fiona in 1 so yeah i dont know.)
Really, every character is good in this game at this point. I’ve seen 3 tier lists from Japan, and none of them have more than two tiers (Those being “Fucking good tier” and “Really fucking good tier”) . Every character does a shitload of damage. The only reason I’m considering straying from Kira is that I love her AHF incarnation so fucking much (she’s my favorite character to play in the history of fighting games, fun wise) that trying to play a bastardized version of her would make me really sad. That, in combination with my tendency to have a new main each game, is gonna make me look hard at other characters too.
EDIT: Standing 1080 won’t happen even if I do main her lol.
I’m going to fool around with Zenia and Big O the shit out of somebody. Right after that is Weiß, she’s looking kind of popular but her knife pickup mechanic calls to my instinctual Vega like need to jam shit on my fist and mash buttons.
How do you even do a standing 1080 without Earth Hyper Armor or clashing with a million hits?
Quickly, I’d assume.
Anyone know where she is from?
Look at this Emilie lol --> @tekkenLili on Twitpic
Harada tweeted pic.
Ricky Ortiz is fuckin godlike.
Well, I played Dr. Catherine Robotnik colors first. But I was like “Eh, she’s cool I guess.” But then I played Elsa and was like “Holy shit this is awesome.” It’s probably cause I did random arcana with Elsa and got Luck the first time, and apparantly that arcana sucks with most people except Elsa? I dunno. I was told Luck was bad, but then when I used Elsa and got Luck everyone said it was good, you just have to know a lot about the game to use it successfully first.
Fuck knowledge, I’m rolling mad dice. If I can’t play a game with random in it, I’ll force my own random. Super Loli Fighter 4 Arcana Edition.
Edit:
Also, I was told by multiple people that there was absolutely no way to homing cancel backwards, and stay backwards. Anytime I try to HC back out of a string, my character would then start homing forward. I asked a lot of questions like what if I hit the button again, or this or that, and was flat out told no, you have to move forward at least back to where you started and that it’s safer to move HC forward instead. I’ve seen in several videos, what appears to be, people HCing back out of a blocked special and doing a whiffed 5A to cancel out of the homing before it even starts. So not sure what’s going on, but unless that’s NOT a HC, you can definitely go backwards without going forwards after the fact.
I wish I owned this game. I want to play it so bad. If only there were a player in Greenville who were going to buy it. Someone who normally invites people over to his fucking cold house, gets his heat fixed, and then cancels because of the icy roads. Oh well, one day maybe.
truck is fucked
back feels like rolento doing grenade supers in it
alan wake is gdlk
play-asia is pissing me off
spreadsheet!!
seriously bring ranking battles back
i can’t wait to hear someone says this in person!
Back homing has startup invincibility, for one thing, and can be canceled before it moves forward; you can even cancel it into airborne shit before it touches the ground. It’s definitely useful for making people think before stringing into something with lots of whiff recovery (like Kamui 5B>5C string; 4D in between the moves and watch that shit whiff, then punish the fuck out of her).
I havent recieved the shipping confirmation yet, but hopefully it’ll be here by next week (PLAYASIAFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU).
Regardless, I’m off Tuesday, which means games are going down…if people want games. Post up or call/text/send a carrier pigeon to let me know if this would be agreeable for you.
So I landed at RDU last night.
What is good with SSF4 in Raleigh? Are there any casuals/ranbats/tourneys to get in on over the next few weeks?
You can use those attacks like you said to stop from going forward. I was thinking you were wanting to use homing to move backward and stay backward. Sorry =(
Oh don’t feel bad, you weren’t the only one. But if I understood it like that, I’m sure others would so I wanted to post up when I saw this in vids.
