Honestly man…I don’t think Viper’s nerfs are that bad. She’s still a rapist imo.
Also - NewDrew, Arson, Pat, Graham, and Hiryu…check your pms yo.
I like how Capcom decides to nerf characters based on their performance at Evo. lol Whatever. Better make Cammy better.
Speaking of hot muscular chicks… I’ve never seen so many likes on one comment in my life.

I never used Honda’s LP headbutt anyway, it was always super easy to bait out and safe jump and I rarely got hit by it against Hondas…I just think it’s funny that Capcom takes these changes so seriously: 4 versions now? Goodness…
I mean, some things HAD to be changed…Rose’s U2 was just a “get out of jail free card”, it was obviously broken. Blanka’s fierce ball he could keep doing it to some characters and they couldn’t punish at all…those are the types of “balance” changes that should be done, but everything else doesn’t need to be fiddled with…so we’re going back to buff Dhalsim and buff Honda? lol Goodness.
I don’t think Blanka Balls are comparable to Rose’s U2. She could activate it for free and essentially win a match since she could at the very least just chip for free with them. Even characters that can’t punish Blanka Ball could very easily deal with the move. How does Blanka get ball opportunities? If you’re letting him do it from full screen, Blanka’s asking to get lariated, DP’d, or even just jabbed. If you let him do a jump in blockstring… well you shouldn’t let Blanka jump in on you. If you let him walk up to you, he’s probably not doing real blockstrings.
I was hoping they’d nerf blanka so hard he wouldn’t even appear of the character select screen.
Tell that to T.Hawk and any other character with a slow jab. It wasn’t a “guarantee” it was very spam-worthy…it was specifically the FP Blanka Ball that not every character could punish correctly. Heck even Fei Long had issues with it and the sole fact Hakan did ok against Blanka in Super was because he could hit the ball after with a slide…
Blanka:
We made his roll a little less safe, and removed his portrait from the character select screen. We hope to encourage players to forget we ever made him.
If Blanka is sitting right in front of you and is able to do a Fierce Ball and you can’t punish it on block, that is pretty silly, but you can’t say that “never” would happen or people were playing wrong, lol…
HAY GUYS WATCH OUT, I HAVE A SAFE GUARD BREAK MOVE, NO FOCUS FOR YOU AND YOU CAN’T PUNISH ON REACTION! That is what I was really getting at…
Well what I mean is- there are bad matchups for a reason. T Hawk - Blanks is by no means in T Hawk’s favor, but he does have an option (albeit difficult) which is to DP on reaction. I believe condor spire trades with hori ball as well (timing dependent). I think it’s pretty stupid to nerf Blanka, who’s not a good character, so that people don’t have to do difficult counters when there are other characters that can do the same thing. From that range, Ryu can do low forward xx fireball. Honda can headbutt. Bison can scissor kick. Balrog can dash punch. Most of those moves aren’t even punishable by any character yet Blanka has a similar move that’s punished by 90% of the cast and then is nerfed? Anyway, complaining isn’t going to change anything. Just wish ol’ Jimmy were better.
basically I love when they change characters people’s reactions are hilarious

I like Blanka too, I use him, they just wanted to make him play like he was played before, which was never ball spam…
I understand what you are talking about but specifically Balrog’s dash can be focused, and Honda’s FP headbutt is punishable so you can’t just spam that all day…Bison scissor is an issue but you can focus part of it and play the 50/50 game in the middle of it; it’s more of just making sure he is a complete character…he is not great, but he’s not terrible either…EX electricity = no more jumpers…stand RH, crouch MP, he’s got some good tools…stand jab is nasty…he has turned gimmicky but I don’t see anyone just plowing over him if you know the bad matchups (Balrog, etc)
Blanka is fine, he actually sort of needed that nerf. And any smart player isn’t spamming FP ball all day over and over, they are going to toss one or two out, bait your DP or Spire or buttfart or whatever you’re trying to do to stop it, kick dash in and start shenanigans. Good blanka players are bitches that are complaining their character is getting nerfed. Scrub Blanka players are bitches that are complaining the character isn’t good enough. I totally respect a blanka that uses the tools he has to rape, nerf or not. That player falls into the neutral blanka rank, or as I like to call it, “oh, I won already? ggs” rank.
TL DR: Fuck Blanka.
At what point does the prompt buff/nerf, flip-flop chara changes not become a joke to you guys?
This is a hearty patch (which may as well be another revision), but not more than a few months after the last version dropped.
Marvel 3 is getting a true upgrade full game in the SAME year it was released.
I guess it’s pretty exciting to most of you and the community, but it’s actually outrageously stupid to have to constantly adjust to new alterations frequently before being able to play the past versions for any decent length of time. It doesn’t make you a better player or readily adaptable by having a diff chara/mechanics every 2 months, all it means is that developers don’t possess a certain vision for their games anymore, content with allowing a conflicted community to directly, and continuously, shape these games into one clusterfuck after another, so long as they’re able to profit.
But I guess it’s cool. Something to talk to about right? fgs = MMOs
Incoming Akuma nerf, I can feel it. I hate everything.
they get no money for this its FREE so I don’t see the problem with this update plus Yun is kinda stupid
I’ll say Super def was the best version so far really who was number 1 in that game you could argue it all day, but in AE its clear it’s Yun/Fei.
rather get yearly or bi-yearly updates than 10 years of no new games
other gaming franchises are way way more guilty of this than SF come on a new Madden/COD every year for 60 dollars at least SF was reasonable SF4 60 Super 40 AE 15 AE12 FREE. Madden/COD 60 60 60 60 60…
but I do agree character’s should not be changed because of people bitching about it, but changing characters like Vanilla Gat and AE Yun is justified it’s clear they out class the majority of the cast in their versions, but nerfing Super Abel, Bison, Honda , Sim etc in AE wasnt needed it was clearly due to people bitching about them
Viper seems to be another victim of this in 2012 but overall she didnt get the nerf bat too hard imo
Patch is going to be free but while patch is downloading they’re going to ask if you want to buy new COSTUME PACK and show a picture of Oni Akuma in a Thundercats Lion-O outift. With a message that says if you buy pack during patch download then you get $3 off but if you wait then you’re going to have to buy an online pass just to get access to a special menu to buy the costumes.
Don’t miss out Josh. Act now. Presented by Capcom…
I’d buy the shit out of that costume
I’m not exactly sure how Dhalsim’s charges are going to actually affect gameplay. Overall he’s not really doing much more damage. I’m excited about the potential for combo after a yoga blast. Maybe we can make that move (non-EX version) not suck anus.
Also, regarding Blanka. EX ELECTRICITY IS THE SHIT. Danielle has been playing with me like every day for over a month. She uses the fuck out of EX electricity and it’s fantastic. I’ve never seen it used much before. I’m definitely going to try to implement it into my Blanka game more.
I cannot possibly like this post enough. This shit is so true. Watch he will either get another nerf or get an arbitrary “unusable” buff.
I read though some of the list and while I dont have a problem with them changing the game again, I dont really understand some of the changes. Like is it just people whined enough about move X so we change it no matter what it means? I mean reducing stun by a few points on Bison SK seems like an odd choice? How about adjusting the fact that a char with such a safe offense and amazing footsie has 14 million ways to wake up safely if you knock him down. Guile gets back his 3f air throw, that move alone shut down so much stuff in super why it was fine in AE?
I am happy to see they are adjusting some of the hit boxes so that certain TCs and what not hit crouchers. Then again watch Ken and Rog get that but Guy’s shit still whiffs on half the cast. I wish they would release notes saying actually why they did something or at least the thought process behind it.
