Too many people blowing things up as usual here now a days at srk.com.
Yun and Yang are phenomenal characters in this game, however too many over zealous comments here. So many people are looking for nerfs, omgosh they are too overpowered and can’t be stopped that I’m sure the majority of the people who don’t sit to really think of ways to actually try and figure out ways to stop them.
Japan doesn’t know everything here, and just because they haven’t figured out bullet-proof options to stop Yun and Yang doesn’t mean that players here can’t. Forget the entire notion that they are overall better then the US players. I don’t care about that, because that has nothing to do with figuring things out to stop other characters, considering anyone can do that, if you actually put the effort and don’t try to quit. Yes, sometimes their are characters who simply are that good and there’s really nothing you can do about it. However just this past CEO 2011 should’ve told everyone here that Yun and Yang don’t run the show in AE. I mean, 3 Twins in the Top-8 and not even one of them made it into the Top-3 spot, with Marn being the closest at 4th.
Yun and Yang are powerful, but they look to be nothing more then the New Vanilla Sagat, which is absolutely fine. Hell Vanilla Sagat and Ryu would shit on some of the things Yun/Yang would do. You want to know being a truly overpowered character? Go back to Champion Edition when Dictator clearly was #1 in that game bar none and demolished the entire US scene besides one single player who shall not be named that kept winning every tournament w/o using Dictator. Now CE. Dictator was an overpowered character who deserved merit of receiving nerfs because their really was almost no way to stop his bs from happening, his only two arguably slightly tough fights (slightly meaning that instead of playing fully asleep against your opponent you had to actually be half awake against those two) would’ve came from Ryu and Guile, and that’s with the Ryu and Guile player playing basically almost to perfection. You could literally be winning the entire round, have Dictator one chip away from victory and then having him land double knee press and its good game for you, even at 100% hp.
I’m also guessing most of the people whom are complaining about Yun/Yang have never played other Street Fighter games as well. Look to Capcom vs Snk 2’s very own Blanka…I swear he had No Bad Match ups in that game whatsoever. Look to ST. Sim the guy was a monster and was an even more intimidating character in his game then the Twins in AE, yet even Sim wasn’t winning every tournament.
I feel many of you over exaggerate things way too much and take too many things out of context without properly going through all the reigns to figure things out of how to play against them first. It’s like what Justin Wong and Alex Valle stated in the youtube video speaking about Yun and Yang to other players in that video when they claimed “Yun/Yang are OP”. They said the Twins are strong but people just need to play and garner more experience against them. Then with that knowledge you can try to figure things out against them, and the outlook will no longer be as bad as you assumed.
Sometimes you’ll get that stupid character who’s just that good (Tekken 4 Jin ~ JFLS dealing 60% damage+launcher+inescapable on block wtf?!, MK2 Mileena ~ Sai projectiles equivalent of SFII Sagat Tiger projectiles but 10x more broken, Street Fighter II : CE Dictator ~ infinite lockdown setups, more then half life dizzy combos that can lead to re-dizzy ocv combos) but Yun and Yang in AE are not on that level, so keep playing and stay competitive.
