I always get beat by pyrrah. Shes the only character in this game who seems “too good”.
High Damage, Good Mix-ups, Really Safe, fast.
Had some good wins with lexia yesterday but always some quirks about online ranked…
Few things that grind my damn gears
Crossbow happy enzios… Really… Fuck him… Everytime I see his card pop up I cringe although I’ve still seen some play him good
Cervantes gun shot… Gay… Some throw me out like hadokens
So many seigfrieds… I don’t lose all the time to seigfrieds but it’s not my most favorable match up… decided to play some quick ranked before work… 3 matches… 3 seigfrieds… No lie lol
Hate hitting him multiple times tryna wear him out only to be hit by that sword 4 times and die
Finally have some free time this weekend so I’ll be able to go into training against a seig dummy
4K (not 4KK), 3K, A+B, agA if they’re getting cute with sidesteps. I also like to go for throws in between strings.
God damn, finally managed to play and I’m in love with this game. Love the gameplay, graphics look amazing and the super-hard AI is actually quite fun to fight against. Viola was a massive disappointment. Her damage is laughable and she’s awkward as fuck to play with. And I see why people have been hating SCV Ivy.
Everything else just feels right. Pat is lots of fun - JUSTICE! - and being able to change Tira’s personae without risks by using BEs is just awesome.
Time for an SCV forum?
It shouldn’t that shit costs two bars. His combos on the other hand would make me rage lol.
Viola has pretty good damage. This gets said so many times and it won’t stop being true. Viola can confirm most of her strings into a ball juggle and that thing goes FOREVER. Use a single brave edge and you are doing 120+ damage in one combo. SCV Ivy however… hope someone is figuring out some stuff with her.
Not saying she’s bad or anything - specially since I’m not experienced with 3D games enough to know what’s good and what’s not - but I expected something quite different. That being said, my time with the game was limited, so I might give her another try once I’ve got the game at home.
I’d be down for it, but it ain’t my call.
I picked up Algol as a secondary character. He seems to give more people trouble more so than Natsu. Most players punish me when I get into possession mode or they CE me when I do a teleport that leads into Possession. A few more people haven’t been teching natsu’s bombs which is a good idea, they only receive little damage and they dont get juggled. Where as Algol, I can force an approach with those dark bubbles, and the qflip attacks he gets is very good. So glad I picked him up as a secondary, he compliments Natsu well in regards to match ups in my opinion.
EDIT: Those stabbing attacks that Pyrrah does makes me salty as heck. It does so much damage for a single hit and it’s fast. <.<
Great gameplay by two top Korean players.

I have been considering getting this game for some time now, but is the things I hear about Lizardman being terrible true? He was one of the things I was really pumped for, and while I know early tier lists and whatnot are very unreliable I’d like to check anyway.
people on 8 way run think lizardman is possibly the worst character, but the game is still really really young and it’s impossible to say how things will go. From what I can tell, lizardman is easy to use and does a lot of damage, so even if he’s “the worst” he can’t really be that bad…
Just don’t give a fuck. I decided to play ZWEI from the very beginning, and I’m playing ZWEI until it turns into a situation in which playing him is giving your opponent a free win.
All the cast does so much damage, that even low tier can win with a few correct reads.
Plus Aeon is full of gimmicks that is working and will work online for months to come.
I wish I could say that about Devil Jin…
Oh well Raphael will be back in the poor mans tier once again soon enough.
Setsuka/AP also isn’t too difficult to use here either. the justs feel alot more lenient imo
When it seems like so many characters can do pretty nasty damage off both mids and lows, the one who can only do it off mids with bar is not really that happy.
My fear is lifted then, I just didn’t want to buy the game to find my favourite character being a complete mess (Poor Ivy players). Time to hit the lab with Aeon and see if he earned his wings 
Just be prepared to put in some work and watch out for over using BBB vs good players, vs bad players spam that BBB like it’s all you know.
You can get him through online? I just sat and grinded Quick Battle until I got him.
I played 2. One was terrible and made me think the character must be trash. Then I ran into one that knew what they were doing… Owww… She seems pretty good.
I take it you haven’t run into Natsu yet then?
Unfortunately, yes. He was my favorite character in the series, but he is absolute garbage. He’s slow-ish and does decent damage on single hits, but can’t really combo, since his few combos start on moves which competent players shouldn’t get hit by, which makes his overall damage low. Even if you do land a combo starter, his combo timing changes based on body type (Which is going to be different on all custom characters, making practicing online a pain) and all of them can be escaped through air-control after the first hit. His CE is absolute trash. It’s slow to come out, the homing on it doesn’t always work, and I think you can only combo into it from 33K (Which has slow startup) since it doesn’t hit in bounce, knockdown, or pretty much ever.
His BE’s are mediocre as well. The only one you can combo into is the unblockable fire when he flies, which while good, does low as fuck damage (Takes 2 meters to do 35-ish% life) and anyone who knows the matchup can sidestep it after blocking anything leading into it. 6B+ABK doesn’t combo into anything and can’t be combo’d into. It’s slow to start, mediocre damage, and easily blocked or sidestepped. To all intents and purposes it is useless. 1B+ABK is decent since it starts combos which do decent-ish damage that can only be escaped after the second hit Le Gasp! and does shield pressure, but again, slow to startup and easily sidestepped.
On the flip side, he has some good mixup options on downed characters trying to get up, and I’ve won rounds where after I landed one good hit, they just couldn’t get up anymore. He’s not unusable, and I’m trying really hard to keep using him, but if you play any other character (Especially if it’s someone good like Algol, like in my case), you will find the difference rather glaring.
TL: DR You can use him and win, but he is really bad and you’ll find just about any other character giving you better results. Playing Lizardman/Aeon means getting frustrated at a gross lack of options.
Gimmicks is all he has. As soon as people figure out the matchup, he’s pretty much fucked. Took my friend a day or so. Actually that may be a lie… he finds new shit every time we play, like that you can just poke him out of the startup of all his aerial attacks (EX or headbutt) off of a block.
I really need to learn this. I’ve been playing too much SF4 getting ready for a league. SCV is too much fun. I brought it over to a party and everyone was having fun. Arcade sticks + Party = Win. No alcohol needed.
