SFxT General Discussion #3 - Still Alive

NOOOOO. It can’t beeeeeee. 666 damage in pandora with lili trying out “future tech” God help us all!

The last post I just made in the Gem optimization thread pretty much explains why I think Boost combos are going to be annoying again…

I got no meter…i do ABC Launch and now I have about 2 stock…BRILLIANT!

I like the Law changes, but man that meter nerf hurt! Wondering how this will change my Law/Lei team.

Just stop dude…Sounds like something someone who doesn’t even play this game would say…

Dear Tekken Cast,

There’s someone we’d like you to meet.

Love,

Street Fighter Cast.

Gratz on the win, man.

You’re right, Kuma doesn’t need to block in the stance because of his options. That’s probably why he can’t block in fact. But I don’t really think it’s nearly as dangerous as people are saying once you figure it out. In theory, it’s definitely very good but I’ve seen some holes in it myself and I think saw I Combofiend and Jibbo nab ya a couple times from Hunting as well. So it doesn’t come without its risks.

At least it seems we agree on footsies outside of stance. That f+lp is beastly though (especially because it leads into G-Clef for big damage) but I don’t use lk too much because it doesn’t reach very far despite hurtbox moving back. Do you ever use Double Wild Slap? That’s what I use for ultra long ranges on Kuma outside of stance. It’s -9 on block (or -13 if you add the HP at the end) but if you’re doing it at the right point, the push back seems to make it a bit safer. Plus, EX-Megaton at the end if you want some extra damage .

Ah, so that’s why you play Law first, kinda figured that Law to Kuma tag combos were part of the reason. I agree though, a well placed Kuma combo can turn the match fast. I was sort of surprised you didn’t Fists of Fury on the random MPs you landed because it leads to a ridiculous amount of meter if you end with Shaolin Spin Kicks. Though that meter building combo I use is going to get nerfed… so might not be as useful. c.mp, mp Fists of Fury, c.hp, hk Shaolin Spin Kicks is almost 1 full bar.

Kuma buffs aren’t that drastic but combined with the rest of the cast moving everywhere, you may be right that they’ll be top-tier.

Just a warning, you guys may run into less Ryus and more Pauls. And I promise you this, everyone is going to regret asking for Paul to get buffed, he does such good damage…and now, he’s even better!

Also, Kazuya Cr.Lk nerf? YES PLEASE.

Dear akuma hi i’m Lili. I’m worse nightmare in this version and in the next one. Enjoy dying in two mixs up as always toodles.

Emile de Rochefort oxoxo

True but there may also be more bobs and yoshi’s and lili’s. Honestly I feel bad for people that are just picking up the game again or the ones switching Characters. The Character loyalist ARE NOT going to get bodied with their own characters. All I have to say is, watch out for my boy Jack_Slater_X. Been riding with Yoshi and Paul since day 1.

Rolento confirmed to be the new Paul.

i would have to say that would be hugo but rolento got hurt but i think he still useable.

Hugo has the damage…at least. He can’t be the new Paul. Rolento lost pretty much everything he had. No pressure, no safe chains, his launcher duties were nerfed. Sub-par damage, Sub-par frame traps, Sub-part vitality is what awaits him. lol

I guess Capcom doesn’t believe an utopia is a possibility, it seems.

facepalm ok dude, building about 2 bars of meter from simple hit confirms makes me sound like I dont know what Im talking about? lolz just whatever man. maybe the idea of not doing a long ass combo to build hella meter is something you can’t comprehend, as Motivation+Resolution/Onslaught builds you over a bar of meter instantly from doing something as simple as an ABC launch combo…yet I don’t know what im talking about because apparently I don’t play this game…GTFO with that BS.

Oh noes I pay for gems…i must be the fucking devil then.

heh…heh heh. 1.07 made lili move faster XD she’s already at poison speed.

New patch notes please me greatly.

QQ some more all you Ryu, Cody and Kaz players. Gotta learn REAL footsies now? Boost combos not safe on block so you can’t PR Rog your way to victory? Game must be ass. Character must be bottom tier now. Play some new characters, get out of your little comfort zone. Ryu looks shit? GOOD. YOU’VE BEEN PLAYING HIM FOR 25 FUCKING YEARS, GIVE IT A BREAK.

Palm loop is gone on 1.07 apparently (no surprises there), only thing I can see getting nerfed is maybe some of Lei’s damage from comet kick combos, but compensating with a more reliable DP and (fingers crossed) stance cancelling from normals. Yoshimitsu looks like he might be fun now, his pinwheel is already REALLY good when you tag in Lei on hit or block, now using him as a point character looks much less frustrating. It will be hard to avoid playing Law, he’s already really good, with flip kick being what looks like an awesome new AA option, I might have to stick with Law/Lei myself.

he may have damage but he does not have rolento great pokes or mobility. so he has the problem opening people up just like rolento but rolento can play a better keep away/ neutral game. damage don’t me squat if you your slow as hell and don’t have a grab move with any range.

also they nerf his damage on his normals and gave it to a weak grab that has long startup and no range.

I mean, I’ve used Paul myself since day 1 too. I was just never dedicated to him. I think he won’t be so popular, as his good combos are all hard links. I can’t wait to see all the new Lili players though. I’m excited for the patch after my initial skepticism.

The only thing that would make me truly excited for this game again if a certain person decides to show up and lend me a hand. This game needs more of her.

Rose would be so strong in this game, I imagine her footsies would be some of the best.

Just the thought of having her in this game makes my mouth drool and have some naughty thoughts…:blush: hahaha but I doubt that’s gonna happen. These Ryu nerfs and the loss of Raven’s jumpback shuriken make me a sad panda :frowning:
