Short Interviews w/ AfroLegends and Damdai

The HF XB360 community dried up the second HDR came out. I occasionally play some HF on there and still find quarter matches going on surprisingly. Don’t expect to find ranked matches though.

Could be worse, nobody could be on, like Dive Kick (really would’ve got into it, too). I’ll check it out when I get a chance.

Chun doesn’t have a floaty jump, just HF projectiles have shorter recovery - and ST Chun players whining, can you believe that? That same jump gets pretty annoying in ST since shotos’ and Sagat’s projectiles have been nerfed and her Kikouken recovers fast, which means she is often free to punish predicted projectiles with jumping attacks. The higher altitude of her jump arc benefits her more, since in CPS-1 she’s mostly vulnerable around her head.

The projectile is pretty good for zoning non-fireball chars, but does not work so well as anti-air and come out slower, so it’s way worse in combos. Her cr.fwd is not stupid as in ST, and her far standing strong does not hit low, therefore she’s not that footsie monster. She’s relatively weak under pressure, sort of like Guile and N.Sagat.

Sorry, I’m having a tough time understanding what you’re saying. HF Chun doesn’t have a floaty jump like in ST? And her HF fireball has shorter recovery, too?

She’s already weak under pressure IMO anyway, at least she sounds like a glass cannon in HF, if I’m understanding you correctly.
