Don’t know if this is on a stream or if you have to be at NYCC, but SUPARSTARX keeps updating his twitter with news on the SFxT patch that is coming:

[S]#[/S]sfxt [S]@[/S]AutoMattock [S]@[/S]OSRyanHunter Julia ex lunge punch wall bounce

IU | SUPARSTARX ‏[S]@[/S]SUPARSTARX
[S]#[/S]sfxt [S]@[/S]AutoMattock [S]@[/S]OSRyanHunter heihachi dome buff, max version unblockable

My thoughts:
Capcom seems to be listening to the more ok suggestions for change. I don’t know how 5f throw will change the game, but we will see. There was a reason for them to be 7f to start with. As for anti airs on tekken chars. Maan I really think tekken chars will be superior now:P

And lol at Dane for being right about Heihachi buff haha

i stand corrected…

yay!

Nah not today. Might go to Berkeley if you guys go though Sunday.

AA, and combo off wall dive IMO

Vegaman · October 12, 2012, 4:42am

did you play Vega in SSF4… or AE… or 2012?

Jamp · October 12, 2012, 4:44am

That Kazuya change makes it sound they’re making EWGF cost meter.

No mention of Cody… But these aren’t all changes obviously.
And what is up with Cammy getting something she already has?

Vegaman · October 12, 2012, 4:50am

Claw only needs 1 or 2 buffs at most. Overhead comboable on crouching characters, and/or CH hitting (and safe on block) crouching characters.

roknin · October 12, 2012, 4:50am

Wait, am I misreading that? Cammy has been able to EX Cannon Strike out of HC since launch. Unless again, I’m misreading that.

Or worse they’re removing it, which I hope isn’t the case (it’s not the most useful thing but it has its place).

Also, damn… Julia gets 2 BUFFS? WOW. TC’ing off that would be meter intense but hey, gives me some ideas I use Juri as a battery for her anyway…

Really interested to see how this shakes up for all the characters. Especially the AA’s.

Songi · October 12, 2012, 4:51am

LOL @ Julia getting more buffs than anyone and Xiaoyu’s first buff ever being totally worthless. I’m hoping Tatsu proves me wrong and comes up with a use for Ex Hakkesho.

Bunnycap · October 12, 2012, 4:55am

Tried him in SF4, got blown up. Thought some of the changes in super were cool but didn’t main him. Upset with ae. 2012 was cool, i’d swap him out for rose every now and then. Stuck with him in this game because i’m disgusted with my SF main’s status in this game.

Vegaman · October 12, 2012, 4:57am

then not sure why you feel that way… lol. Cause if you mained him the whole time I’d completely understand

Bunnycap · October 12, 2012, 5:00am

I grinded to C+ rank with him in every update, but I was a serious cammy player. I think Vega is fine in this game. I just don’t want to be the only kid that doesn’t get a shiny new toy, ya know?

To be fair though in every other sf game I played claw was cheap.

roknin · October 12, 2012, 5:03am

As a Rose player, I feel you. Hell, Capcom took her toys in AE then gave her back like, two lol. :shake:

Bunnycap · October 12, 2012, 5:05am

Fellow Rose player! As of now she is my new main(playing her since super) in ae cause there are too many Cammy players. And as much as I love that character, i’m sick of mirror matches.

Akhos · October 12, 2012, 5:08am

So the update was essentially SF X TK Arcade Edition?

Did I call it or what?

Although…Heihachi’s fully charged chrome dome being unblockable seems like it’d be…nasty. Unblockable set-up in the corner with Ken’s HK tatsu? :badboy:

EDIT:

LOL, people have been asking Capcom to fix this game. Now everyone is whining because Capcom is giving a FREE update to try and fix the game.

OZleon · October 12, 2012, 5:10am

Sounds like a nasty reset :tup:

roknin · October 12, 2012, 5:10am

Yes indeed! And I hear ya, seems Cammy picked up in popularity lately, which is annoying lol. I generally hate mirrors too, but for some reason the Rose mirror is fun.

EDIT:

…

Songi · October 12, 2012, 5:11am

Don’t try to act all innocent and wonder why everyone hates Heihachi. You’ll be getting even more hate after this update, I’ll stick to my non-herp derp characters thank you.

Ben_Perkins · October 12, 2012, 5:12am

Need more characters and costumes and stages everyone buy this update

roknin · October 12, 2012, 5:15am
