I saw this Shazyy few hrs ago in streaming, it’s mind blowing how never-ending his pressure is, you literally have no time to have a moment to think about a strategy. His V-Skill usage is on point against every jump, good zoning and here people can see why Cody doesn’t need fireball invincibility on EX Zonk, he just toss 'em out to make the opponent guess when in range for it, if it’s blocked he’s plus anyway. With VS and some hits taken then he could pop VT2 to get the party started and then there’s no place to hide since Cody can hit you with rocks from far or just command grab you once closer and that shit seems endless for how strong it is. Cody has good possibility to pass unnoticed in S4 rebalance debates, this Shazyy guy just shows how good this character can be in good hands.
His VT2 disrespects fireballs so the last thing he needs is more anti projectile shit. Plus once he gets in with that trigger that disrespects fireballs he now can tear you apart with command grabs and unblockable setups that loop into more shit.
He’s not top 5 good, but he’s good.
Is it really expensive to pull some cel shading filters though? If KOF looked like Fantasy Strike, it would have done better.
Iirc this Shazyy guy didn’t never show up at tournaments, who knows why.
If only it worked like that in real life lol
Having a fireball reflect that have some startup isn’t disrespecting fireballs, since it is a ghetto Menat’s V-skill.
The unblockable setups all come from the command grab and landing that command grab is way harder on anyone good than you might actually think, cuz the range is ass.
VT2 is not gonna make Guile come to you, it is not gonna switch the tides vs a Sagat that is smart about his shots.
Cody loses to heavy zoning and to heavy rushdown is also a significant issue cuz of his lack of mobility. Play Cody vs Sim, Menat or Guile a lot and look at how strong his projectile disrespect game is lol
SNK was purchased by a Chinese company with deep pockets. If they want to make a good looking fighting game, they definitely have the financial backing.
Yeah, watching a Shazzy highlight video is not going to sway my opinion on the character. Cody has way more losing matchups than winning matchups. He loses to most zoners and characters with strong rushdown. The only winning matchups I can think of are Gief and Alex and that’s not saying much…
200 lp gained in ranked tonight. Could do more, but my mind isn’t quite there.
But here I commence my path to super gold with Falke.
Why the fuck does Rashid still get dash up combos from CC. If Urien lost his so should Rashid. Still one of the most stupid buttons in the game.
Jesus lol
Super Diamond baby. These ken matches should be archived as an example of SF5.
Urien still has CC dash up combos, it’s just not the big boi combo from S2, which is fine.
Now that’s a Super Diamond Ken player
Urien still can do the cr.HP after a CC st.HP, just that he have to charge it.
You know who is insanely bullshit ?
Kolin, i swear to god that her st.HP in VT2 is the single most overpowered normal in the game. 8 frames startup, hits mid, lead to dash up 350+ meterless damage and can go up to around 500 with CA.
It is stupid regularly since she have to ex vanity to get the big numbers but in VT2, its brain dead stupidity at its finest.
Yeah kolin you can get by with just V trigger, it’s pretty whack.
Like others said, Urien can just charge his s.HP to make it plus 5 on block and cancelable and that version allows dash up combos still. The regular one is still really good either way.
Rashid already got nerfed, so just have to hold the rest now. You got the king to keep him honest now.
A lot of characters get dash up combos on CC. Why would this something to complain about?
Highland dont like good heavy buttons. It’s been known since Season 1. Just works out that he now plays 2 characters instead of just one that have heavies that are too honest (well dash up ryu sweep isn’t too bad). I say give Sagat one derpy CC button so Highland can fight fire with fire in S4.
Sagats st.hk is pretty powerful, but it doesn’t hit low so it’s ok. I just hate Rashid’s cr.fierce, always have, spammable BS. Does it 4 times in a row.
If I had to delete characters he’d be up there, I’d rather fight Cammy or Guile.
That’s what people said about KI “oh yeah Microsoft publishing it and they got millions of dollar so clearly big budget will go into the game”. Game ends up with 6 characters at launch and gets switched from one indie company to the other to finish developing it.
SFV similar deal. They got Sony behind them, but Sony obviously only put in enough of a budget to get the game to release at launch. Marvel had 3 companies that eat and shit grips of money in the development and publishing for it, but MVCI.
Companies with lots of money allocate budgets to games and it’s not all the time they will allocate a big budget to a specific game. Fighting games are notorious for having short budgets thrown out to them while Resident Evil 7 gets all the money poured into it. It’s only like NRS and Bandai that bother putting money into their fighting division stuff.
