wait 1 extra meter for 60 more damage? i guess…
I’ve seen a lot of people go j.hp, cl.hp xx RCF FADC s.hk in Super, if your going to use meter like that might as well let it be for a huge combo. And what options does Vega have with meter other than damage? It’s not like we can FADC a Scarlet Terror or anything.
I barely got to try out the combo but to me it seems really really tight. I don’t know if it’s just awkward looking but i literally landed it twice in matches with 10+ tries that ratio is pretty garbage… especially considering i can link the 1 frame cr. lps about 70% of the time.
My guess is a 2 frame. I practiced it for a while in training and after a while I could land it about 3/4 of the time. Always forget about it in matches right now though since it’s still early but I managed to get it off once and ohhh it felt so good. Really wish you could FADC ST :[
Yea I was having trouble with it the other day, so I practiced not plinking it and pressing mp when he’s rising from the roll. I’m hitting it more consistently now with plinking.
Question. Have I always misread j.HP, cl.HP xx H.Roll as 276 in super? Because it foes 286 in AE. iirc, H.Roll did 160? It apparently does 170.
Can’t be sure though.
they may have adjusted the properties of his roll to have less damage scaling
yeah i calculated it as 50 more damage when i did my research earlier. not worth the meter imo unless it’s against non fireball characters.
EX RCF is +4 on hit. cMP has a 4 frame startup. therefore it’s yet another 1 frame link…
Yea it’s really hard for me to link…I hate capcom for such a useless buff.
I’m finding the link dead easy. Am I the only one?
i keep forgetting to try it lol.
It was like…the first thing I tried. Then I tried getting flashy with the one claw strike, EX.ST on the end XD
His crMK though…gooooosh! Wonder if it’s still an effective meaty though.
The ex-rcf to c.mp is indeed very easy, people are probably hitting c.mp button too early or something.
Still wont hit too many ex-rcf, so meh.
Anyways, overall i think i like AE vega better… ive never been one to overuse the cosmic heel, so that nerf wont hurt me as much as other vega’s perhaps , is the izuna grab range confirmed? i seem to be hitting izuna’s on grounded people much easier (though not ST easy ofcourse)
The c.mk is so great… it was already good and its alot better now.
Oh and on an unrelated note, love the new guile evil grin Vega has become the new airthrow king in ae.
The FBA grab has got buffed, I played an Akuma tonight to tried the FA-dash-under-raging-demon trick. Grabbed him as he tried to dash under me. Also, something weird that happened a few times tonight is an anti-air c.hk, right at the very tip. It happened when I f’ed up my cosmic heel. Probably something to try in the lab.
Played a few games against Gamerbee tonight and once against Tokido.
Gamerbee
-Probably trolling us Florida players but either he’s good at predicting when I fuck up a block string or he just mashes it out. Probably a bit of both.
-He’s been practicing Fei and Ken for AE, probably won’t bring out Adon unless he has too or comfortable with the match up.
-Hates the twins. (can’t argue with that)
-Looked curiously at MvC3, he told me that he doesn’t play it because no one in Taiwan plays it.
On our matches
-He beasted on me but I got a few rounds here and there almost came close to beating him once (maybe twice) since he didn’t safe jump near the end.
-He likes to block string cross up, stuffed him multiple times with ub.mp and airthrow.
-Asked him what I need to do to get better, “learn more match ups” and I have to agree with that, all I’ve really played against is a Sakura. Extensively.
-Called his Akuma rusty after winning around and then almost perfected me to end the game. (lawlz)
- Punished my CH with a DP once or twice…ugh
Tokido
- Didn’t play much of AE, only a few rounds towards the end of the night. Ran with Akuma, probably wants to hide some tactics until the big tournament.
- Commented that Daigo is “good” at MvC3
- There is a casual scene in Japan for MK9, which I was surprised at. He was playing against Arturo for awhile.
On our match
- Not as DP happy as Gamerbee, but I baited out one or two.
- Did good the first round, he wanted to play footsie’s with me and was on the loosing side of that.
- That’s of course until I got knocked down and it all went to hell.
- Should have ST’ed his throw attempts more, I knew it was coming but I didn’t tech in time.
- Asked him what I should to better against Akuma he told me “air to air more” and “block more” which contradicts what I said before lawlz
This post is brought to you in part of NoS energy drink, which I had two in a row at 10 o’clock and I’m still going. Posted in this thread because there is no Vega general discussion thread.
Bshido what system do you play on? I would love to get some casuals; i am decent but could be a lot better. I play on X-box handle is KentaroFA
I play on Xbox but I hardly play online anymore and to be honest I’m thinking about just letting my subscription to XBL expire so I can focus on school. I’m not completely sure AE is really worth the money it cost to get XBL.
i was thinking bout trying vega out, is he better or worse in ae ?
Definitely worse.
Bshido,
Obviously a 6 frame low forward ‘does nothing but improves footsie battles’. I was looking for a little more than that. Is it enough of a difference to make c.forward a ‘go-to’ move in footsies? Is it enough to make the footsie battle against Chun Li more bearable (I couldn’t stand playing against Chun Li)? Or is it just a minor buff?
Also, the better izuna drop grab is great news. Unfortunately, at -31 on block, it still isn’t very viable.
Me playing rather badly with Vega in AE (for the last time)
It’s been nice knowing you guys.
