Super fast reversal that couldnt be stuffed.

That ish was godlike im SSF4.

Wait, ads are gone?

When it was first introduced it was. It completely stopped momentum because you could mash it during pressure or on wake up without consequence during SSF4 because she could block immediately after activation.

To me it was still one of the best after the nerf. It never required a combo to link/juggle into nor did it require your opponent to make a mistake like throwing a bad fireball. Just activate and walk your opponent down.

Welcome to the world of Soul Calibur 6!

Help me out yall. I’m not looking for a main just a character to fuck around with.

Akuma/Cody/ed imo.

All their v triggers can be round stealers.
Cody has zonk for movement.
Akuma is self explanatory.
Ed has decent movement and his v trigger is free ins and goes through fireballs and is plus on block.

Ed is my pick for great underdeveloped character. I’ve used him a decent amount and outside his shorter normals he has basically everything, even pretty easy oki off of some Enders.

But in sf5 just having great AA makes you have good neutral unless you are facing a fireballer.

Aaaand I’ll also toss in chun with vt2 in there. She becomes explosive with vt2 and is very fast anyways.

Daigo streaming more Zeku, playing a lot more as OZ.

Yeah, very interesting how Daigo sticks with Old Zeku for most of the round. Makes sense given how he likes to play and Old playing more like a shoto.

I’m liking Sakura’s buffs, I think I’ll go back to her again.

Any videos covering new stuff she can do or things she can do better?

Am I the only one who thinks Juri’s fireball is overrated?

DashX3 > sweep the cfn special. Ryu players dont kno better even with all the buffs.

For what you’re looking for, good old reliable SFV meta character has the best neutral/pressure ratio in the game.

Seeing Abigail force time outs is also crazy. Closest Evil Canadian will get to Honda.

It’s a powerful projectile, powerful enough that you can control the pace of neutral just with the threat of it. I block it, you get a free + on block dash in, you basically win neutral

Problem was that guile already did the same thing with his lp boom, which thankfully got nerfed so time will tell…

Oh yeah, bison and cody can spend a bar and do the exact same thing

Another reason Rashid is cheap. He has cheap anti jump tornado like Mercury. Zone and anti air with one move.

Will Mortal Kombat 11 get this?

Beginning to agree with the sentiment of Kage possibly being lower on the tier list than I imagined. Haven’t been losing much so it’s not personal bias, his VTs are easily two of the best in the game but his lack of a solid fireball with the shoto style normals gives him huge gaps in the neutral. Not going below high mid regardless because shoto kit is solid with his walk and throw options. Maybe/probably top 10.
