Not as many as you might think. Cody’s crack kick being airborne is something that a lot of people already thought it WAS airborne for that matter. Plus while overall it’s a pretty hefty buff it does come with down sides. He loses a lot more ground if he gets poked out of it. He is susceptible to things that previously would not work on Crack kick (For example all of Gief’s Green Hands cause knockdown on airborne opponents. Dudley would be able to combo after a short swing blow instead of only being +2F. Sagat/Ryu/Ect would be able to do an EX Fireball juggle if they hit Cody with a fireball during the airborne frames.
It’s MOSTLY a good thing (like 80% of situations it’ll be safer, and it’ll give him some decent mixups and let him get out of the corner easier if he lands a knockdown.) but it isn’t ALL good.

yet,
ibuki - neckbreaker slide harder to connect with aiborne crackK.
Sliders - dhalsim, vega, bison, guy, cody himself, hakan, blanka, ibuki, and elfuerte will have a hard time in timing to slide.
can i ask for more? i really hope crack kick can be feint just like ken Fwd + HK.
Man the Akuma thread on Capcom unity so good. Reading balance requests shouldn’t be this entertaining, I think even someone who barely plays SFIV would love this thread.
Funny he would bring that ex TK buff up. Lol I played a first to 3 against him 2 nights ago, and in one of the matches he made ex thunderknuckle come out by accident and lost a round cause of it. Lol. Other then that flawless execution though. All of those changes seem pretty warranted, but if all of them were to occur, viper would would sure move up in the tierlist a good amount. Not to mention the nerfs the current top tiers are going to get… Vipers would be jumping for joy.
First allow me to say this, I’ve been maining Seth since he was introduced in street fighter he is a great character in my mind, Capcom thought outside of the box on this one and i thank them for that. With that being said, Seth is not a top tier character.
How many tournaments has a Seth player won?
Name 6 tournament Seth players that you know (You can’t so I’m saving you the trouble)
The reason being is because Seth is a low tier character maybe mid tier. Because he has no health and low stun. One mistake with Seth and you get combo-ed then your at half life, then one fierce punch and your dizzy, and after that follows a KO. Oh my and dont depend on your ultra’s to try and make a come back, you must of forgot that your ultra’s do no damage, so get in there young Seth with no life lead and rush to your death!
Hell even if your winning lets say your opponent is at 30% life and your at 90%, if he hits you with an ultra your both at 30% life or he may have the life lead! (Depending on the character of course)
You have to play a perfect round every round to win with seth. ( if your playing someone that knows what they are doing)
Seth has no defense you only have one option with him and that offence, they took away his turtle capabilities after super.
All I’m saying is
Seth doesn’t need to be nurfed at all just buff his health and stun a little bit and he is fine.
Is Akuma really the most hated character or is this all Infiltration’s doing? Between Akuma, Seth, Cammy, Viper, and Fei, I find all the other characters except maybe Fei to be more annoying and a pain in the ass to play against. I can’t believe he’s so far ahead of the other characters I mentioned. That thread should definitely pass the Bison and Evil Ryu thread for most post with ease.
