Didnt know if you guys knew this too or not but FADCing a regular GT while ur opponet is in hit or block stun really catches them off guard and is great when u r really putting the pressure on.
[EX Focus Cancel] afterwards, Rufus will now be at a maximum +8F. This will allow for new combo opportunities.]
Hmm, FADC-ing in corner should net you +8.
Pity U1 start up is 9…
Cl.hp is 6 frames, which means you can combo into that. Off a hit confirm, I don’t think you wouldn’t want to FADC out of that. But a punish from blocking a move like Honda’s Headbutt, the damage output is significant.
I wondering if it’s possible to instant dive TC after that… drooling at the possibilities. More ways into U1!!
atm, ch cl.mp can be linked to cl.hp, which the above changes, expect to see more styling lol!
[Target Combo]: Hit box of the 2nd hit has been enlarged downwards, making it easier to hit crouching opponents.
Would be finally nice to TC all shotos… and hopefully Honda, Chun and Blanka
everything rufus does is so expensive.
ex messiah kick fadc ultra = 3 meters
ex tornado fadc combo = another 3 meters.
Actually, Rufus has the most ways to combo into ultra without meter.
- TC
- j.hp (against grounded opponent)
- j.hk (air)
- f.hk
- f.hp
- Galactic tornado (corner for all, midscreen for some).
- normal SS (corner).
- FA
lemme clarify: all his good fadcs are expensive
Wow I had know idea. I think the best plan of action for the new +8 on ex galactic is to go for a target combo U1 if you have the meter and if not c.hp xx hp galactic tornado. Seems very deceptive as if maybe a footsie game could be negated in a case of a whiffed sweep, you could ex galactic xx fadc, c.lk-c.hk, raise the rufus. This buff is gonna rock imo. Still wish ex messiah wouldn’t go over opponents oh well.
im happy with the changes although the u2 doesn’t do as much damage as before, it can now be used as an option to make those harder matchup against certain characters easier with a flow changing ultra.
what im really excited to see is the stun from the ex galactic fadc! i wanna experiment on more mixup and setups (:
instead of focus attack dash cancel after ex gt, doing lvl2 focus might actually hit instead. So Ex Gt, lvl 2 focus, the dash to combo
is there a visual clip of the new EX GT?
I just tried to work it out and I don’t think level 2 focus is possible. Rufus’ forward dash is 20 frames, so take that away and you’ll be at +28 before you focus. Unfortunately, his level 2 focus takes 17 frames to charge and 12 more frames to execute. Unless I’m missing something, the combo is impossible.
I welcome ANY changes to Rufus. TC not whiffing helps a ton in some annoying matchups, I’m wondering if the change in hit box will uncover some new tech/combo potential.
Fadc ex. Gt adds some new (not amazing) options. Like if guile is in the corner and his bitch ass wont let you get in, something you might do (on block) is Ex gt -> FADC -> St. Strong(CH is a free ultra) for expensive pressure. If it leads to any kind of knockdown I’ll take it.
Whiff punish Ex. GT -> FADC -> TC (or even better Inst. Dive kick) MIDSCREEN sounds really fancy.
Fancy Pants Get Off My Machine Bitch Setup:
Cross up Mk -> st. short -> St. Fierce (strong) -> Ex. GT -> FADC -> (cr. jab) -> st. short -> St. Fierce -> Fierce GT -> Midscreen Ultra.
(obviously on those who apply)
Just imagine one jab on a crouching honda! Hahaha
At least he got SOMETHING
You guys are scrubs you want ultra 2 to AA, the moves meant to punish fireballs, but anti airs aswell !? wtf, it does everything cammy ultra 2 does and more, the nerf was needed stop whining and stop relying on ultras to win you scrubs.
Lol angry Cammy fan alert. Get that filth out of these boards. Just because Cammy is the rushdown chump compared to Rufus(Rush down champ) doesn’t mean he should have worse Ultras.
His U2 only counters fireballs from 2/3 of the screen and the AA use is particular. The nerf made little sense. Rufus is a character who was clearly supposed to have great Ultras, now it’s subpar.
Before it was an OK AA and OK anti projectile hyper, now it’s subpar AA and an a decent fireball counter. I know that’s more than you can say about most characters, but just look at Rufus’s ultra 1.
So your saying Rufus should be getting rewarded for getting his butt kicked stay free you scrub.
That’s kinda how all ultras work. How does stating this make me a scrub? It’s part of Rufus’s character. He’s supposed to be a rushdown character with a lack of projectiles but great ultras. The fact that Cammy is a worse rush down character with mediocre ultras is something you should take out on the Cammy boards. Keep it out of here ok.
Cammy has great ultras and not dumb how you want ultra 2 to be, basically your saying rufus relies on getting beat up and needs ultras to win matches stay free.
I never said Rufus relies on his Ultras to win,I’m just saying he was a character designed with great ones in mind. If you’re going to be a little kid about this(and write like one) then this discussion is over.
Saying hes designed to have great ones in mind is the same as you saying he needs ultras to be a competitive character anyways this discussion was about how dumb you people wanted ultra 2 to be.
Why do you even bother?
Take a look at his other posts, he is either a troll, or a child.
Lol, troll? Is that what you resort to calling me a troll when i gave a perfectly good reason why the nerf on ultra 2 was needed, you just can’t take it.

Dude this kid is a straight up troll. All of his posts are him just doing the exact same thing in every other character sub-forum. Just ignore him and he’ll go back to the gamefaqs message boards.
