Pendulum cancel is a far bigger buff. Jump cancel combos already up her damage a nice amount. Letting her cancel in the air means she basically gets the second best mode of transportation available. The only thing better than cancels are teleports.
If I could see something on Friday I’d be looking for this…
-Pendulum cancel
-Increased durability on items
-Hitbox on bombs
-Predictable item mechanics
-Reduced startup and recovery on gongs
-Combos off air throws
These are the most important things that would toss her right into mid tier.
Hmm… it looks like your link is broken. Might want to upload it to a Photobucket account or something. I’d love to see it, though.
Friday just needs to get here already. I need it over with. Quick and painless. Then we can get started working on technical stuff.
If I saw even one thing on SteelyHawke’s list (besides the Gong changes, because I think we actually did get that, at least partially), I’d be elated. But what I predict is:
• Chireitou startup is faster
• Can now jump-cancel her command normals
• Henkyo Ki startup is now faster
• Can now throw new items, each with unique effects! FInd out which one does what for yourself!
Meanwhile, almost everyone on Marvel’s side got very nice buffs bar Shuma, who Capcom also seems to hate (or, rather, Marvel hates). I can’t even comprehend the Mags matchup now with his Gravity Tager moves, though I think that’s just a matter of getting used to them. Seeing as it doesn’t actually interrupt your move’s animation, I look forward to bad Mags’ grabbing me during a Gong and him getting smscked in the face. I wonder if he can pull you out of Pendulum…
Morrigan got shat all over and Felicia only got something they took away from her in the first place, oh and they nerfed Toy Touch. Seems like they don’t like Darkstalkers all that much >.>
We should rewatch Hsien-Jo’s video again and forget what Capcom did or didn’t do to our favorite characters in Ultimate. Makes us feel all warm and better.
Dude, Morrigan is a shadow of her true self(She has no spike kick from MvC1, no teleports even though she is a known teleporter, no long reaching tentacle spike moves, no beam hyper and no normal ground dash). Hsien-Ko THE worst example of a transition into the versus series and Felicia is the only decent one which almost no one uses. Morrigan still hasn’t gotten any solid buffs, Hsien-Ko is still shit and Felicia got buffed slightly. They couldn’t even remember that Morrigan’s red/green(rose) color is an old color(they called it new when they showed her alts a couple of weeks back) from MvC3, Hsien-Ko got a vomit color/SENTINEL ALT color(Have you seen her Darkstalker colors? Fantastic colors there) and Felicia got some of the shittiest alt colors in the game.
I’m surprised that it took you this long to notice that Capcom doesn’t like them. I’m not trying to be mean or anything so my bad if you see it that way…
Whoa! Shows what a little hard work can make. Nicely done!
Maybe they truly are trying to keep the series from making a comeback. If one is announced, most people will just think, “Oh, hey, it’s Morrihan and those two who sucked in Marvel 3.” (Felicia doesn’t really suck, but she’s outclassed and no one uses her, which leads to that mentality). This was a prime opportunity to introduce people to Darkstalkers by making them formidable and unique, and to show that it really isn’t dead. I even asked my older brother the other day if he remembered Darkstalkers from the arcade days and he just said, “Is that the one with the booby cat lady? I remember her from Puzzle Fighter.”
Knowing Capcom, though, they’ll just hand it off for Ono to troll all over despite Seth’s reassurance that they’ll try their hardest to make a new game good.
And the fact that they left out EgoLei colors is a little saddening. That’s a cool color scheme and would be a neat little reference to the few who follow the Japanese scene.
I’d like to be positive, but nothing points towards Capcom thinking that Darkstalkers is Not Dead beyond a faint memory of a failed business venture in America. I’ll still play it, though.
All I can say is…UMVC3 for the Darkstalkers is gonna be one rough fucking road, But some of us are ready and waiting. Salty (you damn right I am), but ready. All it means is that if we ever get a reasonable buff we want, even one, were gonna take it to the house and go nuts, I know I am, Gawd forbid, they give us something.
I have a feeling that there was a deal like, “You can use him, but we don’t want to see him represented well.” Or something like that. I think the Darkstalkers also got that treatment.
I think Seth’s even admitted in the past that characters are tweaked partially on their popularity, and that the Brothers Sparda get extra love for that. Which, quite frankly, is bullshit. But I guess that’s what you get in a game meant to be the Fanservice Game (bar Megaman).
lol the funny thing is, no one knows about the Hsien-ko teleport cross up, cause who knows about Hsien-ko, she bad :U (which she is but still), Good Shyit LLND, I wish I could block like that.

Just what the heck is Rantetsu? Also, increased untechable time from Edoga is nice, means that they’ll be in a vulnerable state longer after being hit by it. I have a feeling that the jump-cancelable normals are there, just aren’t listed. At least I pray they are!
Edit: Reading these over right now. I can’t believe they gave Wesker a reward for getting damaged. Just fucking stupid.
Double Edit: Felicia’s Sand Splash can OTG. We are pleased.
