Now, does she have a 16 frames advantage after a knockdown to use our new and improved lp elbow with 4 active frames? Sadly I think it will be +0 at best after EX command grab
I started playing SFV as Laura, but switched to Alex after he was released. But now I’m seriously considering coming back to Laura for Season 2. She looks definitely amazing. Will she be able to do Ex Clap + hp bolt outside VT?
Nope
So does this mean that her st.mp didnt actually get hitbox adjustments and ex fb in vtrigger on block isnt +7? Aw. Eh Im still ok with her changes.
It did but not the way we thought. And I think the fb will still be +7 due to the changes in how it hits.
yes, provided I interpreted the patch notes correctly… after Vtrigger command grab she recovers 15f before opponent, so LP elbow will hit on its last active frame. link c.MP on normal hit, link c.HP on CH, 3f trap on block with s.LK/c.LP. same goes for EX grab in or out of vtrigger
other stuff that looks like it should work on paper but needs tested.
MP elbow follow-up. dash, s.LP - stops 3 framers and will hit a backdash before it is airborne.
f+HP is no longer a follow-up to these knockdowns. since KD got 1 frame longer, and elbow is 1 frame faster, you will run out of active frames right before they get up unless you manually delay your move 1 frame
Forward throw. immediate f+HP - since it is now 1f faster, hits meaty so you can link c.MP on hit, c.HP on counterhit. only -1 on block
Anti-air elbow. immediate f+HP, same as above.
Unless they changed lp elbow’s startup, it won’t hit on its last active frame after ex command grab.
frame 13 - 1st active frame: -2
frame 14: -1
frame 15: +0 [hits]
frame 16: +1 [wasted]
When you look at the frame data, the numbers listed for KD advantage are equivalent to how many frames your opponent is laying on the ground without a hitbox. You can’t hit them until the frame after that ends - so now that EX grab is +15 on quick rise, you will hit on frame 16 and be +1 on block
I’m still in shock. Practicing new oki. That was my biggest fear but she still has options. This is the first time I’ve EVER played a character who got buffed. Like ever. I know there is still a lot to flesh out with the whole cast and gief looks impossible but this is like the best Xmas gift ever so far haha.
Same here. I have some sort of tick in me that makes me select low-tier characters from the get go. Most of the time they stay trash, but this is the first time one of my characters got buffed almost across the board. Who knows if she will be dominant or not, but for the first time I’m playing a character people will be forced to treat with respect from the get-go, not just because I started landing big damage.
I think I’m gonna main Mika now. Farewell boys
Been lurking for awhile… so this seems like crazy talk. Seems.
Laura is too good now, looks like I’m moving to FANG. I need that low tier OS
Alex is also worse than before now. We have the choice.
Just, oh god having her link cr.lp into lp elbow from her heavy punch. ITS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE AT ONCE!!!
I confirm that the EX fireball is still +7 in VT in the live version. They either forgot about that or they didn’t notice at all…
Guys, please don’t get excited, she sucked in s1 and will suck in s2.
Thats the spirit. If we keep that up maybe she wont be nerfed in season 3…
Wow sorry, but did cr. MP xx VSB always push her so far back? She bounces like half a screen away right now.
They needed to fix her fireball, not give her a damn 1 more frame on vTrigger gimmick. Sorry.
