SFV lounge: London we have a Problem X. SFV gave us the Burger King again

+2 OH Tatsu would be so good, really makes sense to have that since she is about tatsus. Can’t wait to see what they do to Sakura, Falke and Alex in S4.

out of curiosity? since when can you buy colors for a costume for 1 Dollar?
that seems to be the case with the megaman costume.

They’ve been doing that for every costume with unlockable colours for a while now. I remember mistakenly spending 40.000FM on story costume colours which I don’t have.

so its one buck, 40k fm or unlocking it via survival now…thx for the info.

I missed out on some of the cross over colors. Ed’s got that bomb ass one where he has a stand. Not sure which game it is but it looked amazing in motion.

Oh you mean his Nero costume? Yeah that thing is damned awesome.

Havent really played any of the Devil May Cry games so I’ll take your word for it.

If I had that I’d be playing the shit out of Ed. Still need to learn Rashid for that Viewtiful Joe outfit. Airman is pretry sweet looking too.

They shouls give Zeku a Megaman/Protoman conversion. Make sure we get the whistle whenever he switches from a non-cancel switch.

Claw has some solid options vs zoners but I’d argue he does better vs menat than guile. Think lizard just had a good day vs Guile/Daigo with a character that has solid movement options vs zoners and can stay in once he gets in. No hard counter but has what he needs to make fireballs and long pokes a bit riskier than they are vs other characters.

You don’t use bhp to build gauge? S.hk isn’t terrible since it pushes them outside of the range of punishment any way (even if it’s slow)

It would be nice if her s.mk was more like Eds. Basically the same thing except it anti airs better and combos into medium on counter hit instead of just light.

B. Hp isn’t safe on block.

idea is to cancel into LK.Tatsu oB, you can link into a LP.DP on CC and get a +1 restand on regular hit

I just think sakura’s heavy buttons are really bad.

St. Hk is slow as hell. Only +4 after dash in on CC and +5 if it hits meaty. Her sweep is 10 frames! Like why?

Random thing that occurred to me

Sakura is the only Season 3 character who had a 3 frame normal

Season 2, Abigail was the only character who didn’t have a 3 frame normal

Season 1 it was a 50/50 split (Juri/Ibuki/Balrog vs Alex/Guile/Urien)

In total, we’ve got 19 three framers vs 15 four framers

What’s the 3 frame distribution gonna be like in Season 4 :thinking:

her buttons in general are one of the reasons she’s so bad, but her b.hp is one of the better CC heavies in the game.

But it’s -7 on block, so many things can punish it even at max range.

Other characters have way better heavy buttons that are either positive or still safe on block.

But you always cancel it into LK Tatsu so it doesn’t matter

Yeah I’ve already said you cancel into a tatsu, never raw.

I get the cancel to tatsu. The point I’m getting at is Sakura should have a faster CC heavy that’s safe on block, ya know st. Hp.

her st.hp isnt faster though

B.hp is fast with good reach and is safe with LK tatsu cancel (which leads to chip on block and a combo into LP DP on hit). Sthp doesn’t need to be a crush counter.
