Scissor kick stun was nerfed in AE. All they did was revert the stun back to its vanilla/ssf4 level.
10 damage buff on ex srk and target combo having more leniant input really doesn’t change anything. target combo is more of a flashy thing then a damage thing, people only usually use it when they have someone stunned almost dead in the corner and want to do something flashy like “target combo xx lp srk, ex srk”
You know I do wonder if this was all planned out in advance, i.e. they made particular nerfs just for the purpose of being able to undo them later.
Why would they do that?
because its capcom
would they really consider nerfing seth because of 1 seth that made top 8 at evo ? I think this is absolutely bull**** but we can never be sure in these kind of changes. So far most of them got revert back to their super incarnation with minor nerf/buffs…this really gives an idea on how it is going to be for most of the characters…
I agree with you, Super had the more interesting fights and I would hope they will try bring aev2 to the same level.
Im also convinced that ae was unbalanced and Yun/Yang makoto heavy to build hype for 3rd Strike online, they are a business, the day before 3So gets released we are handed the Dev logs for the rebalancing of SFIV… the time scale was decided months ago.
They need to keep players (casual and hardcore) interested and buying content and games to make** MONEY**.
3so will be bought while we wait for AEv2, uMvC will be bought while hype is built for Street Fighter vs Tekken, then I’d almost garantee just as SfxT is released we will get a trailer for Darkstalkers.
I disagree with anyone who wants damage at SSFIV levels. I get a much bigger kick out of erasing a huge chunk of my opponents life bar for a mistake, rather than taking a measly 200 or so damage.
Higher damage output gives more weight to every decision and thus makes matches more tense and exciting, IMO.
Nah, I don’t believe in a conspiracy theory. Balancing fighting games (or any competitive game, really) is hard, especially if you’re only looking at a few months for development. Blizzard has reverted nerfs in just the same way.
ok im listening. explain fei.
Wow, they are actually buffing decent characters with no trade off?
S tier Hakan and Dan inc?
Isnt Fei almost identical to how he was in Super bar a new way to combo to sweep? maybe the Devs thought he’d be fine but didnt bet on those who played him as Dan teir in Vanilla sticking to him?
Or… or
Maybe thats why Fei is good, so they could Prove there was no conspiracy when really they had it all planned out in their evil corporate street fighter lair of deceivement. ay? ay?
Edit: said the same thing twice
It also makes it easier to win from one or two lucky decisions, as opposed to having a stronger overall gameplan.
Shit goes both ways.
the version that could AA you for jumping in at the cost for no meter?
It forced people to strengthen the rest of his game more and anti-air with other tools.
I’ll admit that’s a valid point. Still, I’d prefer higher damage overall. I liked Super, but one thing that made it somewhat boring for me at times was how tame damage seemed, generally speaking.
???
so what are we now, a low tier hero?
If anything, playing a solid Honda in Super forced YOU to strenghten your game, especially when approaching, and forced you to find other ways to approach with other tools other than jump forward or your standard go to poke.
Guessing wrong in Vanilla cost you much more than it did in Super. It basically forced you to think a bit more.
hopefully they will buff hawk good this time.
but i really doubt capcom that they will do it.
stink tier stays stinky tier.
that makes him SS tier whahaha.
Super was so shitty IMO. I’d rather have three characters run a slow death on the rest of the cast than have fifteen useless characters.
after seeing what they did, i think they will try to make all characters higher tier.
this means maybe they won’t do to much with the twins and fei.
let see what they do in the end.
i like what they did with zangief.
hopefully he can go under all the fire balls with his c.hk.
stinky fireballs makes him mad.
