Yo Joe, I’m very interested in your Ivy and Viola write-ups.
I hope to hear Ivy isn’t boring as shit after losing half of her stances, say it ain’t so Joe say it ain’t so.
I’m liking what I’m hearing about just defend and the other system mechanics.
So, what stores have broken the street date? Anything big (so hopefully we can git dat soul everywhere early), or just little “mom ‘n’ pops” and stores in chinatowns?
I’m with Dinoz here… you guys need to calm down with your ridiculous assumptions.
Not much in-depth discussion is taking place because the general attitude there is to do that stuff when the game comes out. However, I am one of the few that did attempt some in-depth discussion, as you might see in the Xiba boards.
I wanna main Aeon, hardly any videos. However, you should check out iplaywinners archive from when Filthie brought SCV to norcal, there is one Aeon player…won all of his matches too.
Couldn’t check as many EX moves as I wanted too because people were playing to win and I was afraid an EX might have properties that I didn’t expect so I’d get blown up. People not wanting to experiment >.<
Much of the older cast is the same except for stuff like frames, but for some reason they changed inputs on some moves for seemingly no reason.
Supers aren’t invulnerable but they are REALLY fast.
Ezio seems solid but his guns are pretty gimmicky. He has one gun shot that hits low though and will ringout which is a bit annoying, but you can sidewalk them all into a punish so think he’s a bit overhyped at this stage.
Xiba -> Killik. His properties are a bit different, but most of the basic shit is pretty identical. Heard someone say he has a nuetered version of Asura that is still good but didn’t see it myself.
Viola seems like she has a lot of potential and her super is potentially way broken as it’s an aegis that has a massive hitbox and lets you mix them up with 2-3 different moves before they get out. You can’t really guarantee unblockables outside maybe specific situations (it has holes they can 5A out of but as long as you place your mixup in that spot they shouldn’t get out so mixups seem more ideal than unblockables). Definitely will be an advanced character as she has 2 stances, one with the orb and one without. With the orb she has a good deal of frame advantage, but without the orb if you placed it wrong your kinda up shit creek unless she has a move to call it back but only got like 2 games with it and people were playing to win with characters that hadn’t had a lot of change since IV.
Pyyrha. Sophitia but some weird stuff. 6B+K is amazing though linear and she has Just Frame stab that punishes the world. She also seems to have Cassandra’s command grab (did sophie have a command grab in IV? thought it was just cassandra) which is really nice as you can combo whatever you want after it. Also her B grab deals hella damage.
Zwei. Interesting. He is a bit slow but has a lot of frame advantage and pretty safe launchers. He has a stomp that is mid that hits your foot which is way confusing.
Yoshi. Didn’t see any cockpunch but hasn’t changed a lot from IV.
any work on how the netcode will be for this game? I skipped the SC4 due to there to the slight lag. Something which don’t see in street fighter 4. If this game won’t have the netcode like SF, then I doubt I’ll be getting this. So definitely need to know.
is Ivy shit, or what? I went to 8wayrun looking for relevant information, and there was hardly anything. I know she is nerfed and all, but my biggest fear is if we have to rely on sword stance the majority of the time, since, from what i’ve gathered, her long range moves are ass now.
