SF X Tekken - Do you think Claw is there?

PlatinumBD · February 26, 2012, 8:34pm

I nearly forgot how long ago SF X T was announced until I saw the title of this thread I remember how anxious I was for it. It’s finally here But how do you guys feel about our Narcissistic, Bull-Fighting, Spanish Ninja making the cut? He’s supposed to be top tier in this game I hear, a turn in our favor finally! He also has some sick juggles I’ve seen.

I don’t understand how he’s supposed to be top tier. Dudley was supposed to be top tier when Super came out, wasn’t he?

Vegaman · February 26, 2012, 11:46pm

Vega’s damage potential shot through the roof. That added to his range and mobility more than compensates for the loss of kara throw. His main weakness is still wake up but anti air isn’t that bad.

Thing is that Dudley was and still is good. It’s not like he was low tier. The guy can combo off a pretty fast overhead and take 30-40% with it as well. Maybe not top tier but still good. Vega will probably be the same way. It’s all a matter of where the line for top tier is drawn at. I do think he’s top 10 though

I dunno… I think it’s silly to attempt to determine such things before the game is publicly released yet. Every time I’ve seen someone use Vega in that game, it has been for an “anchor” character so far. When Sabin was using him last night, he had now idea what the fuck he was doing with Vega at all and when he did try to use Vega instead of Dhalsim, he got perfected.

Really don’t care what tier he turns out to be tbh, never mattered before why now… And Rugal is right, everyone i’ve seen using him are failing horribly or just attempting to the same thing over n’ over and getting by because no one has solid answers for fuk ups as of yet, or hasn’t had the time to figure out how he needs to be approached in this game compared to his SF4 counterpart…

Edit: Although he does look like he could potentially be a problem but not as big of a problem as everyone thinks right now, only time will tell I guess… And that combo is fuarkin BOSS!

PlatinumBD · February 27, 2012, 4:50am

Dudley’s reputation got him that title…I saw Vega Scarlet Terror -> c.mp -> Scarlet Terror in a video on SF x T…That dude will be top 10 for sure He has juggles and pretty good damage output.

Vegaman · February 27, 2012, 4:59am

I would agree with you if I hadn’t played the game. Coming from someone who mains Vega though, and playing him for almost 4 hours straight against most of the entire cast, I’m pretty confident he’s top 10

If he isn’t top 10, I’m gonna find you at EVO and say LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

TrulyAmiracle · February 27, 2012, 6:16am

Psh he aint top 10 <___< he’s hella solid though and thats more than enough for me

"Final Fantasy": The MARVEL VS CAPCOM 2 fan fiction

Chapter 1: The Burning Dragon

In Japan, somewhere in Japan, things would be more easier if we had a map to display the exact location of where the story actually starts.

Wintertime, it’s obvious, because it was snowing.

The sky was beautiful, large snowflakes were floating around and around.

Up on the mountains. Inside the forest.

An American boy was walking on the trial inside the forest. He was lost, all alone, all by himself. He was walking on the trial inside a heavy snow covered trial.

This gives us a question: Where were his pwerents?

He only wears a red T-shirt, along with blue jeans. He was cold and hungry, yes, he was cold and hungry, yet he was too stubborn to admit this kind of fact.

“Dammit, so cold…” He muttered. He kept shuddering. From his eyes, he was filled with anger, and hate. Why? Nobody knows.

He may mutter this to himself, but, he wont say the same thing to other people, especially strangers. Why? Because he was too arrogant for that.

This American boy keep walking, walking, and finds an opening in the trial. He hears a voice, a man’s voice.

“Let me demonstrate this move: Shoryuken! (Dragon Punch)” The man said. He was tall, and wearing kung-fu clothes, grey kung-fu clothes. He was wearing gloves, brown gloves. This man looks around 50 to 60’s. He acts like he was the master. Wait a minute! wait a damn! he was wearing kung-fu clothes?? in the winter time? He doesn’t even had sleeves on both of his arms!! Doesn’t he feel cold??

It does notmatter, what matter was, what was “Sho Ryu Ken” ?? A fighting style? A fighting technique? A fighting move?

“Sho… Ryu…Ken?” The American Kid hides behind a tree, mutters. He sees this man, wearing kung-fu suit, saying this to a boy, about the same age as the American boy. This kid was wearing a red ribbon around his head, also in kung-fu clothes. Looks like the people in this mountain were weird…

" ‘Sho’ means rise, ‘Ryu’ means dragon, and ‘Ken’ means punch, in the first place, it was designed to destroy something, it was named ‘Death Dragon Punch’, since this was too scary, I modified this move to reduce the damage, and reduce the possiblity of killing a person. Now, I call this move ‘Dragon Punch’. Specifically, this technique was an anti-air attack. For most of the time, we call it ‘Dragon Punch’. You could use this move as long as somebody was attacking you from the air. In order to reach for the maximum power, you must focus all your power on the feet, and try to push all the power from your feet up, push all the energy up. After you jump, then, focus all power on the moving punch. The faster you move your punch, the more damage you could make onto the enemy. Remember, as soon as you finish jumping, you must transform all power from feet to the hand. Your hand was the main part where afflicts most of the damages. You could afflict more damage if you jump higher." That man explains, slowly, and clearly. Yet it took nearly 10 minutes for him to finish this explaination.

“Shut up!” mutters the American boy. That man sure takes a long time explaining this technique. “Just do it! dammit!”

Yes, the American Boy wants it so bad. He wants to know how to fight.
Now, This American Boy wants to see how this technique actually looks like.

A tree blew up, was what actually happened. Yet it doesn’t affect the snowflakes floating around. The snow thickens. It made the American Boy hard to see what exactly had happened.

“Dammit! I hate the snow!” The American kid mutters again.

“Now, you may practice this move, the best way to improve this technique was to practice this with a basketball. First, you would throw this basketball up, then, try use Dragon Punch to hit this ball. Make sure that this ball goes up, not going to other direction. This way could increase your accuracy, and power. Good luck!” the man says again. Yes, another long explanation. I hate it, the American kid thinks.

The kid in red ribbon, he had a face of confusion, but with a smile on his face. He wants to try that move too.

“Dragon Punch!” The red ribbon kid shouts, as he attempts to do the same thing on another tree.

Uh oh. He’s just a kid! He was too weak to blow a tree up!

“Ouch!” The tree doesn’t blow up, what had gone red was the red ribbon’s hand, not by blood, but from pain.

“Ryu! What the heck you were doing!?” the man demands.

Oh, the red ribbon dummy was Ryu, all right. The American kid thinks. But he accidentally steps on a branch, which makes a loud crack.

“Who was there!?”" The man was startled, same as Ryu and the American kid.

The American kid attempts to run away, but he was stopped by the man.

“You! What were you doing here!?”" The man shouts.

"Gr…:The American kid looks at the man angrily. Dammit! Do I had to do it? The American kid was not cold and hungry anymore, he was filled with anger. He was angry, why he accidently stepped on a branch!? What for!? To let that man know and kill that American kid!?

“Dragon Punch!” The American kid attacks, and he actually hit the man!!

“Ouch! Ryu! You see? That was how you were supposed to do… but not on my stomach…” the man groans.

“Byebye!” the American kid attempts to run away. Run away from the two strangers.

But this American kid cannot run far. A Haydoken (Fireball) comes. It hits his back, and stops him.

“Dammit! Why do you want to stop me!? Kill me if you insist!” The American kid isn’t happy about the one who stopped him.

“Well, at least you should apologize…” It was Ryu.

“For what? For trying to send him to hell?” the American kid isn’t happy about Ryu either. All he wants was just to know how to do this move. He was still angry, yet his anger cannot melt down the snowflakes around him.

An unexpected force made the American kid kneel in front of the man. It was another man, standing behind the American kid. He was wearing dark purple kung-fu suit, again!? He had wide mouth, and red hair. His red hair was tied. The weird part was, his hair was standing up, it’s like there’s wind blowing his hair up. His eyes were red, pure red, it’s like his eyes were flickering with “destroy” and “kill”…

Another wierd part was, the snowflakes seems never touch him. The snowflakes were preventing from touching him!

“Akuma? What were you doing here?” That man says, he doesn’t seem to be happy to see the new stranger.

“Gouken, Do not misunderstand me, I followed this kid, and it seems that he’s got talent.” Akuma says. The American kid gets angry again, and wants to punch Akuma.

It isn’t a good idea either. Because Akuma’s eye made this American kid filled with fear. This kid stops, and watched him angryly.

“True. That kid actually did Dragon Punch on me. Ouch” Gouken speaks. As in matter of fact, he was quite astonished that the American kid actually did the “Dragon Punch” with only one peek.

“What was your name? Kid?” Gouken continues.

“I am not a kid! I repeat, I AM NOT A KID! My name was Ken, Ken Masters. Dammit! Don’t just call me a kiddo!” The American kid shouts. It seems that he’s too arrogant to be treated like a child.

“Hmm… Ken? In Japanese, we say ‘Ken’ as punch!! It seems that you had talents in punches and fighting!!” Gouken complies.

“…” Akuma was silent. His right hand then goes into his suit, and takes out a book. The snowflakes never touch the book. The snowflakes were actually changing direction, and float to other direction.

" Take this, it’s important and dangerous." Akuma throws the book to Gouken. He says his last sentence, before he walks off. Ken, Ryu, and Gouken could see Akuma’s back, walking silently. It’s like he was filled with sorrow, lonliness, and frustration.

“Wait!” Gouken wants to stop him. He wants to know what it was all about. But… he was far-gone. Akuma was quite fast in walking.

Gouken then read the cover of this book, and he had a shock on his face. He suddenly hid the book inside his suit. This book was actually dangerous!! Extremely dangerous! What was this book all about?? What was the top secret?

Ryu and Ken see Gouken’s face. Both of them suspect that the book must had something wrong.

“Ryu, get a basketball, and practice the Dragon Punch! As for you, kid, Ow!” Gouken says, but he was interrupted by another punch: Ken punched him again, because Gouken again says something that makes Ken mad.

"Ken… what a violent kid!"Gouken mutters.

“What a dummy…” Ken mutters. Both of them were not quite satisfied with each other.

Instead, Ryu thinks “What a guy…”

The snow continues. Even thicker.

Ryu and Ken were now under the training with Gouken. Nobody knows what their future would be like. Theres only one thing that could be sure: both of them would face each other, or even fight to death!

to be continued.

wtf is this shit saved on my phone?

Anyway what I intended to post was:

Pretty confident that won’t happen but the only way it’ll happen is if the tekken characters are designed better than the SF characters

a random izuna drop does a lot of dmg it just gets scaled badly in a combo.

TrulyAmiracle · February 27, 2012, 11:58am

yeah the combo scaling is just like SF4 (1 hit difference or w/e), the combo will go to shit after 10 hits or so, it sucks honestly coz it’ll discourage the use of long and cool/flashy combos as they wont do damage. Shouldve had something closer to marvel’s scaling.

vagabond_zero · February 28, 2012, 7:48pm

The Horror and the disapointment…Splendid Claw (vega’s cross art) either doesn’t have invul frame or only at the very beginning…see at 9:10…

Crush2000 · February 28, 2012, 9:52pm

Never thought I’d say this but i’m seriously tired of seeing vega you can tell that none of these people had any interest in vega at all til this game -_-. I’m assuming it only has I-frames at beginning of start up now if any at all, that move would rape with it being a qcf now instead of a charge if the I-frames remained the same as they were in SSF4.

TriasNT · February 28, 2012, 10:55pm

So, if you get one character almost completely destroyed and you bring the other one with full life at the end of the time, you win the round ? What’s that game ? X_X

vagabond_zero · February 29, 2012, 1:09am

I would not worry about bandwagoners…Vega does’nt seem to be as user friendly as we thought at the beginning…the other day Flash Metroid was complaining on stream about his team not doing damage (Gief/Vega) and ended up droping Vega for Ryu…(Flash Metroid was droping a lot of combos and missing the grab on ex fba close to the corner)

Rugalitarian · February 29, 2012, 2:33am

The thing is, Flash Metroid sucks with Vega.

TrulyAmiracle · February 29, 2012, 2:50am

no it takes the average of both health bars, if you still have a full health character when both of his characters are low on health its obvious who has more health…
