Spy Headquarters : C. Viper General Discussion

I give it an ok out of ten.

is it just me, or does her new Ultra look pretty dumb?

pretty much all of the new ultras either look dumb or overly flashy. fuck the looks if its good though.

Viper’s new Ultra will attract the kids for sure. :lol:

I actually like it though. It’s better than Akuma’s Tazmanian Devil Ultra.

I thought of a good o/s for a hit confirmed ex seismo, sjc fadc attempt, use the same method as you use but hit fa twice so if you miss the fa and a sj comes out an early sj mk will come out and hit most of the ranges you would try to sjc fadc. Note this will only work if your sj is a forward one. Also you can do a jump lk if you’re fast enough, os bk doesnt work tho cause a bk will come out after the dash due to the long input window.

Edit-lk os might be the better option, cuz it hits after a FFF where a jump mk will often whiff and resets obviously

The new ultra reminds me of some of Dantes moves from Devil May Cry series.

yea I was talking with a friend about it. Its probably not gonna be more useful then her current one. I can see newer players being more attracted to her 2nd ultra though, since it wont be as hard to hit.

Yeah, her first Ultra will still be picked due to the many ways she can land it(unless they decide to strip her of all her cool stuff.) Her 2nd Ultra seems easier and safer to land. I wonder how much damage her 2nd Ultra will do.

looking for a good viper player on xbox live (xTSKxGYN0C1D3x)

When the next C.Viper podcast DevilJin?!

Using counterhit c.mk -> ex seismo on TAPs on reaction. Feels good man.

Yeah I’ma throw down another one soon when I get some free time. Got a few new things that I’m learning so I guess I’ll put that together in the next one.

Sooo Viper’s new alt. Finally saw a good pic of it. Looking awesome. Can’t wait for it! Still hoping they tweak her cr. mk for more range…but I’m not getting my hopes up. But to continue with her alt…it almost looks like a biker suit. Just gotta get a helmet. That would look pretty bad ass.

I hope they buff all of her normals but I don’t think they’re gonna go through with it. I think Capcom sees Viper as a character that negates footsies though it would also be nice if she was better at actually doing footsies herself. I think El Fuerte is better equipped to just not ever need to use footsies than Viper is but whatever. It’s not like her normals are that bad. If she had more tight block strings I’d forgive the normals. Maybe just make her f+MP overhead quicker.

Oh and the alt is bad ass.

yeah I hope they buff her normals as well. I at least want a normal that can AA reliably, like that c.mk animation for her s.hk and more priority maybe.

Yeah they definitely don’t need to nerf her, that’s for sure. Didn’t they add an extra frame to her f. tk? If that’s the case then I see that move getting stuffed even more. :frowning:

Anyone got a list of changes that they made to Viper from beta to retail?

Quick shout out to DJ for getting 3rd in a tourney recently.

Also, I got 4th in a pretty decent sized tourney yesterday as well.

Vipers movin on up in the world!

nice, got any vids to post? Did a handful of exhibition matches against 2 of the better blankas in the scene tonight to help with my strat posted in the Match-up thread. Will hopefully have those up soon. Always fun to see Viper styles evolve. Mine is completely unrecognizable from my early days.
Btw, Coos’s Sig = win.
