Oh my bad I forgot to update you on SRK, this is old news on Facebook. I’m not even trolling man, not ever trollin…
You play Sim, who seems to have gotten buffed in AE. That alone should get you a win or two from the frustration of getting in on him.
This made me lol
Grats on top 10 Chris ! Can’t wait to see your potential in AE, Florida is gonna Represent at CEO !
@Vicente Shenanigans your XBL tag? I seen that name in SRK live and chatted with him.
Me too, dude.
Sim certainly did not get buffed, for the uninformed. He got damage reduction across the board. The only thing that has improved with AE Sim is the addition of db.mp, db.mp xx flame combo — which is seldom used from the massive amounts of AE footage I’ve watched.

So what if his damage got slightly nerfed? From the changes I read on Eventhubs, it seems the combos got weaker, but other parts stayed the same and also partly got better to help his game. Looks like there will be less combos and more poking. Sounds like he is going to be even more of an annoying keep away than he was already.
His b+HK was buffed wasn’t it? That thing was already gdlk to begin with lol.
They actually adjusted the hit-box on it. It’s lower than original, so now deep jump-ins can work against it; however, the buff b+ mp will stop jump-ins all together.
actually VicenteFLA is my gamertag but I do remember you destroying me online once when i used to main Balrog lol
Who do you main nowadays, Vicente? Did you go back to Sagat? Sagat is back to being better than Rog in AE, it appears.
Sagat, maybe, will be a top tier character again. He’s actually even against the twins and Fei-Long. The sleeper in AE is Vega. He’s sooo good.
Vega, seriously? He is already one annoying ass character in Super in the right hands. It’s probably time that they make Vega a [tournament] competitive character again. He was a nightmare in ST.
Puff puff pass bra

They [Church] thought Galio was crazy when he suggested the world was round. With Balrog and Rufus out of the equation, Vega can easily place high in tournaments with favorable or even match-ups with top tiers (Twins, Fei, Makoto, Seth). Vega is the new Balrog…
how are Balrog and Rufus out of the question? Those two aren’t even Vega’s hardest fights in Super (Chun-Li, Abel, Viper all come to mind). Vega could aways place high in tournaments because in Super he is a good character but is difficult to play with and underplayed. If anything he’s probably staying right in the middle. I doubt a character with a shit reversal and no anti air, no way to combo his ultras is at the top.
If anything the character to watch in AE is Sakura. She’s been sort of slept on in SF4 series but in AE she got so many buffs and she wasn’t even that bad.
Tournament speaking, Balrog and Rufus won’t be played much because of better characters like Yun, Fei, Makoto, etc… and I don’t care about Super’s match up chart (which is silly comparing to A.E.). Vega has a good anti-air, but an average reversal. Both are good enough to win you matches. Only time will tell, and I agree with Sakura being a beast
Balrog actually has a decent time against the twins according to top players. btw guys Vega’s reversal in AE actually has invincibility, even though it’s still just as safe jumpable.
No invincibility has been seen on Vega’s Scarlet Terror in AE, developers were thinking about it but in the end it was never put in. EX still has projectile invincibility for one hit but that’s about it.
So that’s his reversal and one of two anti airs.
Yeah, people were asking about that last night at Johann’s. That, unfortunately, was never more than speculation from the AE loketests, because if Capcom was going to give something as game-changing as a viable, invincible, damaging reversal to Vega (which would OBVIOUSLY break the character, given that he can’t juggle from or even FADC EX Scarlet Terror (rolleyes)), that would SURELY have made it into the official “what’s new with AE” developer blog posts.
