Why the buff couldn’t be the opposite way C.mp > EX RCF > C.mp > EX Izuna it’s hard trying to land a regular ex RCF less dmg on c.mp/c.mk at least give him sum hit box buff on the c.mk then.
Thats exactly what i said when the buff was announced. The problem with rcf is landing it and most people will just throw you out of it.
Just DL’ed AE (XBL) an hour ago. (and I’m still groggy as hell lol)
They nerfed a lot of his stuff but it’s mostly damage.
some you guys knew already just wanted to give ya’ll numbers.
cl.FP, c.MP xx FBA does only 285 now, (in Super it did 315 iirc) so yea they took about 20 points of damage away from FBA and 10 from c.MP.
cl.FP (1 hit) xx EX.RCF, c.MP xx EX.FBA does 379 and c.MP after EX.RCF takes a bit getting used too.
I haven’t been able to land a AA-CH into U2, the changes make it a little bit more difficult.
c.MK, c.MP xx FBA won’t work if you don’t have the charge for a split second.
c.MK still does 70 damage.
Can you comment on the FBA grab range?
Can you burn all your meter on ex.rcf xx FADC, c.mk, c.mp xx ex.fba, izuna?
Grab range doesn’t really feel much better at this point, but I could be wrong.
It’s difficult for me to comment on the FBA range, I only really used it to combo. I could never really get the timing for the izuna vortex. So far though it feels like it’s improved a bit or it could be my method of practicing it (Rose training dummy on crouch meh). But feels like a small buff, maybe it’s time I started practicing it lol
I haven’t been able to hit ex.rcf FADC, c.mk, I doubt it works.
how much more damage does jHP, HPxxEX RCF, cMPxxEX FBA do over jHP, HPxxRCF? (basically for spending 2 more meters how much more damage do you get?)
i did some calculating back on capcom-unity and it came out to about 50 more damage for those 2 meters. how off was i?
first combo does 421 damage
second combo does 286 damage
In a match, if you have the meter and have the timing down (I’m slowly but surely getting used to it) then do it. Vega’s other combos don’t nearly hit as hard anymore.
Also for the Vegas out there that can’t CH, ST, you have to learn now since CH, slide got damaged nerfed. Otherwise CH, c.MK is probably a better option for mixups and such.
ah god dam it
Any thoughts on how the six frame low forward improves Claw’s footsies?
Any changes to his scarlet terror properties I know a lot of speculation was going around about it awhile ago but don’t know if it was dismissed long ago.
It does nothing but improves footsies battles, c.mk is a really good tool for counter poking now.
There are no changes to his ST still the same ol’ anti air. As far as I can tell, nothings changed about it. You still can’t FADC, no ultra’s can be connected afterwards.
well either way i’m liking his ex roll to ex wall dive…they dropped the damage on his crouching strong and forward along with ex wall dive…damage is now 180 from 200…but when both ex moves are used in a combo, u can do about 400 damage and the link from the roll isn’t that hard…at least not for me…
Just saw that page…
Ex roll > MP > EX Wall dive…
Don’t care about his nerfs even more. XD
Good luck hitting someone with an EX roll outside of guessing a fireball.
Honestly I don’t mind Vega’s changes, so far. His new 6f cr.mk is pretty nice for counter poking and whatever. The first thing I tried in training mode was ex roll , cr.mp, ex FBA, looks like sex, but probably now extremely useful.
I was playing my friend’s Yun tonight he played him in 3S, but haven’t played that game in years. He doesn’t know all the broken shit and he wasn’t prepared for his links and such since it was his first time touching AE. But yea be VERY afraid of Yun and his brokeness. I still won 80% of the games but he didn’t really know how to adapt Yun to the SF4 engine, and later in the night my win percentage went down probably 70-60%.
You can get the ex.rcf, c.mp xx fba by beating people with normal moves as anti-airs. After trying to learn Yun my friend chose his main in Super Sakura, who’s c.FP is probably one of the best normal AA’s in the game, when you beat their AA you can go into cl.FP xx ex.RCF. I still havent got it in game despite landing ex.rcf.
It’s a so so buff. his bnb jump in combo (J.hp,cl.fp,c.mp xx EX FBA), does 359 damage in AE, compared to the (J.FP, Cl.FP xx EX RSF,C.MPxx EX FBA), which does 421. The damage is ok, but imo not really worth the meter at least 60% of the time.
damage over options? ill take the latter.
