I know a few of the pairings are pretty weak at the moment, and I’m aware of Karin sponsoring Mika in Mika’s Alpha route, but if Sakura and Karin are in the game they’re the most obvious choice for a pairing. Sakura and Sean makes no sense as a pairing to me o_O
Stalk Ryu and Ken respectively.
Well, Sean doesn’t really STALK Ken. Ken actually recognizes Sean as his student.
Sean and Sakura are essentially the ‘next generation’ of the shotos. Two fighters only in the game because of ryu and ken’s influence canonically.
It had damn well better be both.
They’ve been my favourite pair of characters since I saw their unique TTT2 winning pose.
I think
R.Mika
Juri and the last one…IDK about them…
I came in here to say that Mech Geif IS NOT in this game unless you mean as a background character.
I since this thread is for speculation I will do all by Cody bitching here from now on…and Alex…I’ll bitch for Alex too…
So, say Balrog is in fact the guy with the monkey lips and boxer shoes.
How do you think he’d fit in this game?
Do you think they’ll give him a crossup, at least?
I’m just saying he’s on that stage. It’s like with Tron when people didn’t believe she was on MVC3 because she appeared on that stage and suddenly she’s in. Do all the bitching you like.
I could see the Crazy Buffalo cross up or his second finisher dirty bull that would be cool!
I meant more along the lines of a jump-in crossup.
In SFIV none of his air moves cross up.
Balrog should NEVER get a cross-up imo. He doesn’t need it and is already very solid as is, plus I don’t think he should play like other characters and him not having a cross-up is one of the FEW things that makes him unique among the SF characters imo.
The only problem being this entire game seems more oriented toward offence than SFIV.
If he can get a command grab I’d probably be very happy, but only being able to mix highs, lows, and normal grabs in this game seems like a terrible idea.
A lot of overheads ground bounce in this game that lead to big combos, his probably will. He will be fine without a crossup, or a command grab (I think that idea pretty out of left field and totally unneeded tbh) he doesn’t need one anyway. He is more about frame traps and defense than anything.
Also Air to Air always juggles also allowing for combos. I’m not a Balrog player, but I’ve always considered him pretty good air to air in SF4.
Yea you probably will be able to combo of his headbutt with any normal now. His dashing overhead will probably floor bounce and his dashing low upper will probably wall bounce
Now way will dashing low wall bounce. No reason for that.
Any Balrog player asking for a command grab doesn’t know how to play Balrog imo. Balrog will likely get a overhead punch to ground bounce as someone mentioned and be very similar to his SSF4 version.
A cross up is out of the question and just silly for that character. His ability to put on pressure,close the distance with ease, and good damage output plus his very good health makes a cross-up an unreasonable request.
Thinking about crossups and boxers, which begs the question, why are they giving Dudley a crossup jump-in for 2012?
I don’t know how you can cross up with your arm like that…
Anyways im guessing they’ll speed up his overhead so it can be used more
not the low that sweeps. the one that armor breaks
