Skrull really is underrated. He has options that no other character has. If someone pushblocks any of your ground strings, you can punish with M command grab. With drones, your meteor smashes become safe, which are free crossups/fake crossups. After EVERY combo ending in Inferno, you get a free 50/50 with air command grab or ground command grab.
Defensively, I think his qcf moves have invincibility frames (or really crazy priority), but it’s unsafe of course.
I’m standing in dark alleys with a trenchcoat on, asking “What do ya like? Marvel? Got everything you need right here.”
I think just standard juggles and the like with Claw Iori do more damage. With no meter you’re pretty limited to just rekkas, even off of command grab if you have EX Iori. Also without neomax or EX super to end the HD shoryu>HCB throw loop with flame Iori, it doesn’t do great damage. Claw Iori’s Neomax seems better to me. I don’t think Claw Iori’s slow overhead and arguably better neomax and command grab make up for the lack of DP and fireball. Both characters do good damage and are very fast, and have basically the same normals set.
Beni is good, he’s got pretty much everything one could ask for, but I still don’t know that he’s number one. Even if he is, it is very close with several others. Several of other characters have 1-frame command grabs and get big damage off of them. Also Bala said Beni has a 1-frame DP, which he doesn’t, which hurts his argument. He can combo off of his normal throw, though, and he has one of the best Neomaxes in the game, if you ask me. His execution may be above average but not to the point that it actually pulls the character down, like Elisabeth.
“Sticks, buttons, copies of the game burned to floppy disks…cheeseburgers. What you need shawty?”
Yo my team is the best. Did y’all know if you select yurple color edit you do more dmg and get slow drive meter regen? Also you jump higher so hop pressure is more ambiguous.
(Guys forgive me. For some reason I’ve been in a really good/whacky mood the past few days)
I’m finna go stand on the block and sing “Guantanamera”
Hey fuck everything you guys have been talking about, especially that bootleg tier-list. Leona at bottom was my cue to it’s validity, regardless of what bunch of “top players” comprised it. I swear to God, everyone in this thread would get straight wrecked by even a decent Leona. Many of us already have. But that’s not the point though because “EV’BODY GUD”. But this motherfucker right here is a fucking Swiss Army Knife(all-purpose) because THATS-WHAT-THEY-PUT-ON-A-CHART-ON-THE-IN-TER-NET-FOR-ME-TO-SEE. Meanwhile, my other character HAS WEAKNESS because he was traumatized as a child and no telling what he’ll do in a stressful situation. That’s what they told me! What happened to the Chin or Terry or Joe or Max, etc. bottom barrel? Oh I forgot, it’s a new week. Shit is a joke. There’ll be another one in a few days for you all to “discuss”. Counter-fit ass shit. Fact remains that game needs to have a few more major or large tourneys under it’s belt so that the PLAYERS determine the tiers, like always. If you listen/read what the “renowned” players views and perceptions are (both jap/latin/us), it sounds all screwed. You don’t have a good idea of what exactly they’re basing it off of. It could even be that they think Leona’s lips aren’t as sexy as Yuri’s or something. Hell, many of the best players can play their ass off but can’t even explain the reasoning behind their actions or it sounds like they’re mentally retarded. I’ve had full discussions with quite a few of them. And it’s why I still do FlyMike shit. Because it keeps me sane. And guys still hang on every word, just like this tier-list will be the blueprint for what you guys will think or characters that you’ll feel comfortable playing. And you know it.
But like I said at first, fuck that, fuck whatever. More important shit to be worried about. Like this:

Think I’m lying when I say don’t contact me after this drops? They pushed it back to Feb. 28, but I don’t mind it marinating in the oven a little while longer. If anything, this puts my plans for FR in jeopardy because if I get that same intense feeling of euphoria from years ago, oh God. Have mercy on anything else. And if this game isn’t your thing, fuck you also. Go out and get some fresh air. SSX is fresh air being stuffed into your lungs from a random massive drop. Shit, if I tried to play seriously again I’d get(or borrow) recording equipment just to capture sick runs or trick battles. Fuck what combos you can do on a dummy. We got combos against GRAVITY and mother nature. Yea, kinda feel like a little bitch now huh?
Fuck you. Fuck all of you. I’ll have a reason to turn on my PS3 and sit in front of the tv for hours again. You dudes better get your KoF MMs before this shit comes back into my life.
Tier lists is teh fail! I play ash for instance and obviously he has weaknesses. But when it comes to characters like Ex-iori, I can even see how he was placed lower than claw. Now with ex-kyo he doesn’t have a fireball fine whatever but he has armor on his punches to compensate. Overall I feel like when it all comes down to it a character is only as good as the persons playstyle. People normally wouldn’t play ash aggressively if they did cuz yea he is a charge character and people automatically gonna think “defense and keep away”. But i play him aggressively. Why? because I simply know how. So yea fuck that list trying to categorize balanced characters lol.
Just got my ticket for Radiohead for Thursday March 1st in Atlanta. So fucking pumped. Tickets were expensive as hell but I figure I owe them something after pirating all their music. So that means I’ll be there Thursday night for Final Round, probably leaving Monday morning/maybe Sunday night. If everyone wants to pitch in I could go ahead and buy the hotel room now if anyone else wants to come Thurs.
I’m looking forward to SSX too, I was a big Tricky fan back in the day. this one looks proper.
I just copped Uncharted 3 today (late i know)…I loved the second one, and this one seems to be just as epic and i just cracked it open…fml for liking so many video games…still tryin to practice some SFIV when I can…KoF has taken a back burner placement on my dresser…also, cant help but be a lil smidgen hype juri is pretty much confirmed for cross tekken…
Holy shit. Mike that trailer is incredible. I damn near caught a buzz just watching it. Soon as that one chick (Kaori?) launched off the cliff and activated the wingsuit I was sold. As if I wasn’t already.
You know what this means don’t you? You gotta get an XCock so we can play together bro (pause).
Also, I know this is totally me stroking my own ego but I keep going back and reading my convo with Cale on my new handle and cracking up. I get to, “I’ll drop another 10 to change it. I’m fucking stupid I don’t care” and lose it every time. That whole convo was classic.
