im surprised i have not seen this yet so i figure i will try 2 get the ball rolling. Im a rufus main and i must admit that ex messiah is probably the strongest move in the game. Although its saved me alot i must admit that its a little bit overpowered…any suggestions on how to “fix” rufus?
Lol…ex messiah can stay…it can be baited and such.
he has to many ultra juggles…which makes his comeback potential so crazy…
idk he doesnt need too many tweaks.
Make him die in a motorcycle accident or hotdog eating contest.
He needs to eat more cake.
Make the bouncing of his stomach less disgustingly hypnotizing?
Overall he seems to be in a good place.
Give him better facial hair.
i spit out my juice with laughter.
that tummy :looney::looney:
Nerf his health a little and get rid of one of his ultra setups.
Preferably hit by a bigrig.
Make his moves safer. They aren’t safe enough.
Galactic tornado should give him +1, not -1.
Messiah Kick needs more mix-up options. 4 isn’t enough.
The microsecond of time you have to punish his ultra is way too generous. It should be safer.
His ultra hits people in the air or on the ground for full damage. But, what about UNDERGROUND? Geez, Capcom, it’s as if you didn’t want this guy to win a match. Fix this.
I’m fine with the way he is…since not people use him online anyways…
just his ex snake strikes seems to do way more damage than it should…
maybe also decrease ultra damage since he has so many ways to connect to it…
Give him Dans ass-slap taunt…
He’s fine the way he is.
This. Only things I’d change are the ‘forced whiff divekics’ on Gief, Balrog, etc. Where you divekick and it just pushes them back… Target combo needs to work on people when they’re crouching… and Fragrance Palm could be a little faster.
That’s really all I want.
Give him a better Alt. Costume
That is all really.
His divekick shouldn’t Always lose to a DP.
This isn’t a tweak for rufus but a tweak that should be made to other cast members.
dive kick overhead:wgrin:
God no. Keep it so they can block it low. If I see someone blocking my divekicks low I can get ultra for free.
No, that’s fine. Rufus has to have some sort of weakness, and fireball/uppercut traps are pretty much the glaring weakness he has.
Agreed.
crossup dive kick done right snuffs DP completely son.
if your talkin head on collision well then you are asking for too much then sir.
Just remove two Ultra setups of choice (preferably Galactic Tornado in the corner and the j.HK) and knock his health down by 100 stamina points.
Everything else about Rufus is pretty fair. EX Messiah is punishable and so forth.
…Yeah, and while you’re at it just delete him from SSFIV.
…He needs that health because he flies at people body first in a game all about fireballs and uppercuts, and those ultra setups aren’t that overpowering. A lot of them overlap.
