Rufus: AE 2012 Changes

So your saying your superior to all the people on gamefaqs you typical srk elitist scrub.

Patch notes say target combo even hits blanka. Praise the jesus.

Capcom destroyed U2’s utility but heavily buffed what you can do with U1. They definitely reduced the frames on ultra selection which is a sort of a buff I guess.

Seriously though, at least he got something and this does seem to make up for the **** that was the AE update from the beginning.

Yeah. Hitting crouched Blanka is definitely dope.

Sad to see EX Messiah will still go over crouched characters.

Looks good to me.

Amen Brother!

Can you guys think of a reason to ever use U2 now?

Use it as an anti-air troll tool maybe. Even though U2 got some of it anti-air properties back, I’m sticking with U1 because it has multiple setups and the ability to use the target combo on all characters is a huge plus in my book.

Man I can’t wait to Target Combo Ryu and Blanka.

EX GT has a 11 frame start-up.
Fei Long’s 2nd Rekka hit leaves him at -10.

ffffffffffffffffuuuuuu

Can’t you do c.lp xx EX GT FADC into TC?

Well, sure, but probably only if the Fei Long misspaces. Apparently the block knockback for the Rekka’s has decreased so who knows.

Well I used U2 in quite a few matchups in SSF4 and the main point of it was as a deterrent, so I guess I might start using it again. Expecially against low health characters that control the air well like Vega, Akuma, Viper & Ibuki.

Me too, although I think I’d prefer EX messiah not whiffing instead of TC.

I wouldn’t, EX-Messiah on wake up is usually a bad idea and reinforces bad habits.

BTW Omni who did you beat at Xanadu? I saw the results gs.

Ditto^.

Thanks dude. I beat some Cody player; not sure what his name was. Then Steve H’s Sakura pretty soundly. Then Hav’s Yang twice.

It’s funny ‘cuz against Steve and Hav I got the ol’ classic get knocked down with no meter into dizzy into nearly perfected in 20 seconds game Round 1 each set.

Rugal’s Fei Long beat me twice. It was pretty rough.

I think Rufus is a total beast now with 3 bars and charged up ultra.

The “new” target combo is the shit and if you think about it the EX GT fadc combos are pretty awesome free tool he got.U1 is so much better now with even more ways to land it.
If they fixed the EX kick wiffing on crouching chars he could have been shooting for maybe even n1 on the tier lists imo.

One think is for sure tho.Hes much better then the twins now.

I messiah every chance I get, especially on my opponents wake up. It conditions them so bad and I get safe mix ups :slight_smile:

I’m at work. Someone test if only U2 makes this bug, or if it’s a feature due to the wall.

Would be fucking sweet if you could reset with a normal the other way.

Oh wow ( btw im at work to, do you have skype or does anyone so we can discuss this NOW? ) seems legit, looks like youd have to block the other way like a mix up. Can you imagine cr jab xx ex gt fadc u2 in the corner? IM DEF TESTING

What’s there to test? You can see which side Rufus is on during the animation. It’s just a bad gimmick.
