New trick up our sleeves: The Hsien Ko changelog

How disappointing. The only new (spoken) dialogue Hsien-Ko has with anyone is Nemesis commenting on how scary his face is. For written dialogue after beating Nemesis, she tells Mei not to laugh because some Jiang Shi aren’t as fortunate when it comes to being as beautiful as she is.

Wait… that’s… seriously it? Nothing with Ghost Rider or Firebrand or anybody that would make sense. Not even Frank? And she’s vain on top of it? Lame.

Hsien-ko is a classy bitch XD

Well, I took a break from the forums so I could finish off all my obligations and hit that training mode when Ultimate arrives a bit later on in the day. Thanks to everyone for still posting info and what not. Really excited that the jump canceling of her command normals was finally confirmed. Thanks to ll.nd for posting up all that info on her changes as well!

<3

Well, she has one with Dr. Strange, but it is only Strange who has the lines.

(In the intro with her): “And they call ME strange…”
(After beating her): “Your condition… My magicks might be able to help.”

And it’s weird regarding Frank’s you know. I really expected he would say something about her

Yeah, that’s pretty much all her special intros and I checked out the voice gallery to be sure. One little neat thing is now that all the capcom characters in japanese will call her hsien-ko now upon tagging in/dhc.

That’s interesting, the capcom characters I had set to japanese I never used with Hsien-ko. Never noticed it. Did they call her lei-lei or something before?

They didn’t call her leilei in the US version, they would just say their voice clip when calling an assist. It was the same for akuma too.
But now the capcom characters set to japanese will call the characters by their US names. It’s cute having hsien-ko call in phoenix wright in japanese. heh.

Had a Hawkeye player flip out on me in a lobby because I reflected everything he shot at me. Love it!

I don’t think I’m welcome in this lobby anymore. :frowning:

That’s kinda cool, I’m gonna throw in vanilla in a bit so I can see that first hand before I play Ultimate!

Glorious, I was worried about Hawkeye. Gimlet is still a problem i imagine but gong sounds like it’s working well.

The best thing is that without a meter building assist, he can’t keep it up forever…

Her jump cancels make her feel way more solid as a character. I can’t wipe the grin off my face being able to combo mid screen now.

I’m enjoying a lot of these early wins. People just haven’t figured out how to stop running into gongs. Frank is proving to be irritating through, if only for the fact that his photo shot blows right through gongs like they aren’t even there.

So no one has uploaded that UMVC3 Hsien Ko ending yet. Bummer.

Aggh this wait is going to be painful

Do any of those Hawkeyes use his slide? It seems like his only option against gong spam, and even then, Anki Hou :l: might even help keep him out. Any way you do it, you’re forcing him to come to you, which is good. Might be able to even mount a jump canceled offense there. Or you might force a tag out/DHC. All pure conjecture, though.

Yeah, I want to see that ending too. No spoilers!

Man, in a world where airdashing for overheads is no longer safe, Hsien-Ko’s ability to jump-dash and instantly drop onto opponents for a near-instant overhead is really standing out. I’m nailing people with this a *lot. More people staying on the ground means more attempts at dash :d::l:, meaning a lot of people are instinctively blocking low.

One matchup I’m worried about is Ghost Rider. His only weakness is a blind spot above him, or at least that’ from what I’ve seen. Any thoughts?

I’m curious on this as well, I feel a couple assists might be able to help, though short of tagging out I’m not 100% sure on what Hsien-Ko can really do that isn’t team specific either.

Actually the character who is giving me the most trouble is Nova. He moves fast, hits hard, and combo almost literally off anything, and his combos look easy as shit to pull off too… ugh. I don’t know if some of his moves have projectile properties, but I’d swear some are blowing right through gong. I had a feeling Nova would give me problems though.
