I have a thought and write something in the other thread before of Ken being killed or sent into a comma by an unknown assailant and so Mel sets to find Ryu and trained him personally.
As for Ryu character he doesn’t go on liking on teaching or apprentices, So having consequences and events lead him to teach Mel the ways of ansatsuken would be seems real and logical for the likes of Ryu’s fictional character rather than just him picking somebody to be an apprentices.
It would be interesting also if he first denied teaching Mel at first because of the intention of vengeance and hate. That would be a reflection of him before in alpha and Dan.
JFC I sure do hope so. However “New Champions” could just as easily and boringly refer to the people that will win CPT events this year.
I like to believe that Capcom knows that if they don’t say something of note this weekend that people are gonna devil trigger in real life but they have done that plenty of times in the past.
Not necessarily, just saying that Menat is one of those characters like Sim where she is nearly top tier, but the effort you need to put in to make her top tier is pretty similar. You can learn some ST fundamentals, learn some wall dive setups that take minutes and now your ST Claw is a threat. Can’t do the same with ST Sim or Menat but payoff is solid when you get them down.
I cant imagine even with the changes that she gets hard blown out by any of the top tiers. Menat is still Menat, people just have to figure out it out like they’re starting to figure out that Cammy still Cammys. Hurricane is at FR and he was one of the guys dooming and glooming Cammy. Hope he does well any way looool
i really don’t think menat menats a good portion of the cast anymore. the lame playstyle always had issues in some matchups even with a buff st hp and 2 bar vt1. now? how you gonna keep akuma out? even if you keep it up for a while, have all the right answers and perfect reactions, your incremental damage is gonna give him vt and then he’s almost definitely getting in. and that’s just how it goes.
jwong vs problemx could get runback now and it would look completely different. way more messy. and i think people are more than just realizing that menat needs work to be good now; they’re realizing that they could put in all that work, or they could go play birdie or whatever, learn the whole character in like a week, and have better matchups across the board.
the few menats left i see are putting a LOT of time and effort into their secondaries right now. and that seems questionable for a character that needs such high commitment
That was going to happen regardless, she already had bad/losing matchups before. It’s just Menat players couldn’t expect 3S Yun Menat to last. Can’t have that much activation going on LOL.
You really shouldn’t be playing polarizing/limb characters without an alternate regardless if you’re CPT competitive. That’s just basic fighting game meta.
Abigail, much like almost all of the intentional design choices in SF5, was a mistake.
The problem with grapplers is that command grabs arent unique anymore. Now you have more mobile characters cracking defenses with them. Makes big bodies spots in the char select screen more abour size than having access to a comand grab.
Either way, doing stuff that violates the visual integrity of the game is kinda bad. You have to eyeball a lot, and if you cant trust that, it makes the game rougher. As much as I like him, Waldstein is that way (claws in his idle stance dont have hurtboxes for obvious reasons).
Ooh, I got a free pie today because Im subbing a math class and its 3.14.
it is but it’s only the first (cancellable) hit which come out at 5 frames, at 7 frames the hitbox gets longer.
It’s one of the best buttons in the game
This is how it looks at 7 frames
Juri’s s.MK is definitely dumb. Like it’s a good thing that Ibuki has cheap mix up stuff, because neutrally that button beats Ibuki on its own.
With the right spacing Falke basically can’t hit any button after she starts blocking Juri without dealing with getting hit by it. If first hit clips take full store combo and you in corner which starts to get into RIP territory. Falke can’t really stop Juri from storing without putting herself at risk so you gotta deal with that no EX meter conversion/corner carry often.
