SSF4 Gen Arcade Changes

I live by FFA in SoCal and I’m pretty sure it’s confirmed to carry it. Better believe I’ll be repping the old man. I really want to see what they did to his Crane normals so i can burn an effigy of Killian if he lied.

just contributing to gen community.

The arcade near me claimed that they would probably be bringing in super. So i’ll definitely be at least able to fill up some gaps (hopefully)

i wish cactusjack would get it her in Oklahoma city but it a small arcade and most of games are either classic or the fighting games are old. i heard it use to have 3rd strike but most of the fighting games are different Tekken versions. so it seems very unlikely we will get one here at least in Oklahoma city.

there is a Game Galaxy in tulsa but i never been there.

so i be waiting for any info from you guys.

AI said they will get it so Ill be there. and if FFA gets it Ill there too.

Let me know if they get it Vanesco!

Ill bring a camcorder and we can film each other!

If anyone gets their hands on AE we should make a list of things we would like to test.

Start listing. I have a car, I’m in soCal, and no distance is going to stop me from playing this game. My execution is on point, so I can make stuff happen.

@SecretCharacter sent you a SRK message man.

I have a few, see what he can do with Mantis c.MP, they said it can be linked after s.LP, and c.LP, but what else (s.MP, c.MP?) also what can be linked AFTER the c.MP lands.

“Crouching Medium Punch can now be Canceled & Both Medium Kicks can be Canceled now, so go for more damage by Canceling into his Specials.” WTF does this mean? you could already cancel into Gekiro, Hands and Super from all three.

How far into a combo can you be and still be able to perform his TC’s. Meaning could you do a bunch of links then follow-up with a TC. **Example: s.MP, s.HP~s.MK-TC **

Can he hit Oga, Teiga(Crane U2) now? They say it’s faster and downward hitbox is improved. Oh… & is it easier to land it after a Focus Crumple?

Should I make a new thread? so I can collect all questions and put them in the main post?

EDIT: Screw it. I’m going to make it. It will make it easier to keep everything together.

Idk which translation you are talking about, but they said “since c.MP and s.MK are special cancelable”, not "they are now special cancelable’. The downward hitbox buff was applied to Mantis U2, not Crane U2, and that crane U2 has faster traveling speed.

Going by Eventhubs. Neither say “since”

they obviously got it wrong.

they got their translation from street i think, so they maybe misquoted him

they got the info from a few people, so it maybe mixed up between sources.

possibly. not saying you were, but just remember not to take their word as spoken truth. they get stuff wrong from time to time

well they usually get their sources from SRK… so I usually assume that it’s accurate. zing…

But I’m not accurate time to time either. I mistranslate it, realize that I got it wrong when I proofread it, then edit it. By the time I do that, SRK and Eventhubs already got the misinformation in the main page.

all good.

Current impressions from several Gen players (besides lots of talks from s.HP xx s.MK TC):

  • Mantis s.HK. High priority, and range seems to be similar to Mantis c.HP
  • Something feels different with Crane s.HK, but cannot elaborate
  • Something with Crane c.MP. c.MP -> trade with c.LK -> c.MP comboed
  • Mantis super -> Crane j.HK connects. Not sure if it happened from before

Most ppl are talking about how strong Yun and Yang are lol

  • jump attack -> s.MP -> s.HP xx s.MK xx LK Gekiro was tried on dizzied Ryu, and Gekiro whiffed
  • but connected on Ibuki without a jump attack
  • c.LK xx c.MK seems to be less useful than s.HP xx s.MK TC. If you put a few crouching jabs beforehand, Gekiro will whiff
  • it was easy to do focus crumple -> Crane U2

:lovin:

AW GODDAMNIT. I hope he just messed up the jumpin…

Nice, improved universal(?) punish.
