Counter hit cr.MP still links into far.HK

You can jump in Fireball and buffer 2 up motions so if it hits you can combo into the roflcopter when you land. You can combo ultra off a jump in HK and HP in the same way. Can combo off a counter hit dive kick too. Only the fireball set up is remotely hit confirmable.

862

Na but honestly where is this coming from lol? I remember reading before that it doesn’t combo off a deep jump in.

863

man i don’t know, why did you wait like 2 months before telling us this shit? If you’ve really been to vegas, it didn’t happen yesterday…

864

Not everything happens in Vegas.

865

Pre-code is out, so ^ might just be playing that. I will play it on tuesday XD

866

Source?

I remain dubious about any information pertaining to minor tweaks until such time as I have the retail version in my disc tray.

867

Well Im not making any comments until I have SSFIV in my xbox 4 days before it comes out in 4/27/10. Which for the next 2 days all I’m doing is practicing and seeing what they have done to Akuma and how i can benefit from his nerfs.

868

what i want to know is what percentage of the returning cast, including akuma, is going to geet a new special move to play around with? has anyone heard anything about any of the returning cast getting new moves? or even different normals?

869

Akuma has no new moves. Very few characters actually got new moves. It is mainly frame and hitbox tweaks

870

oh…well at least i won’t get my hopes up now. thanks scrub goku satsu, i suppose you cant name who got these moves can you??? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze

871

He has no proof at all… i don’t trust him!

872

No Scrub Goku Satsu is the real deal lol i’m sure you already know…i was kinda hopin ryu got that kick back but i doubt he’s one of the “few” he was talking about…or was he.
Scrub Goku Satsuuuuuuuuuuuu save us with your divine inside intellect, who are these “few”, you don’t even have to say what the moves are we just want to know WHO get them.

873

Guess my post was overlooked. Pre-code is out, all characters available (shhh!) and I’ll play it myself this tuesday. The rest of you will have to wait till April :smokin:

874

Supposedly the pre-code demo is sans tweaks and re-balance changes. Could you confirm for us once you play it?

875

I will, partially. I already don’t expect new moves other than the second ultra, and believe that the Akuma-nerfs already posted will be those I can confirm. I’m pretty sure that tweaks/balance is in this code, I’ll know in about 6 hours from now.

Don’t expect that I will confirm any unannounced chars though, or this will be the last time I will play a pre-code from Capcom :smokin:

Keno play tested Super SFIV. His thoughts:

http://www.gytnews.com/articles/interviews/the-players-choice-episode-4-keno-on-playing-super-street-fighter-iv.html

Summary from what I gathered:

  • Sagat is health and power nerfed BUT remains top tier. His ‘scar’ move invokes invulnerability on all his specials.
  • Ryu is essentially unchanged.
  • One of the new characters yet to be revealed may well tie with Sagat as top-tier.
  • Seth is arguably tied with Sagat as top-tier.
  • While Guile has been reworked, he remains low tier
  • Gen has slipped and is considered worse. Regular hands has more push-back, nerfing his offensive game
  • Balrog remains unchanged. His new Ultra invokes 700 stun and ushers in a whole new play-style for him and is very usable
  • Juri and Cody are the better of the (currently) known new characters. Guy is at the bottom.
  • Gouken has an Uzi
  • Akuma has been nerfed by way of his fs.hk.
  • Adon is very powerful
  • Vegay has been reworked via pokes and his equipment doesn’t fall off after being farted on.
  • The game as it stands currently is very promising. The new characters (including those we’re yet to see) are solid competitors and will likely see top-eight tournament use.
  • Gief’s Seth match-up is going to be even more nightmarish.

That’s my recollection from one listen. Check it out for more details.

The point of me sharing this is to confirm that Akuma’s fs.hk nerfs remain in the current build and are likely set in stone. Start reworking your game gents.

  • Gouken has an Uzi

I lol’d.

878

I’ve played SSF4, and can confirm 3 of the new chars (legally 17th of February, which it is GMT+1 right now)
Look for the “SSF4 Hands on”-Thread soon

879

Just let us Akuma players know anything and everything about akuma. From new moves(if any) to real info on his 2nd ultra and how slow is his f.hk

880

Come now lad, 'tis the morn of the 17th, bring us information by the gallon.
