I’ll just wait and try him out:

Combofiend says something totally the opposite of what SUPER GAMING PRO AUSTRALIA said…

BLAAUUUGHH

COMBO FIEND:

Hi All, here are a few of the things I noticed about Guy from the one time I got to use him:

His c.sh is delicious. In the console version, it took some timing to link c.sh into s.mp, but now it just flows as if you hitting c.jab, or so it seems to me. I foresee a lot of damage coming from dudes who are fiending and get a counter hit when the opp goes to throw them.

His s.rh seems a bit faster when I used it and it actually had a continuous hitbox that didn’t trade!! Normally I’d have to time it a lot more strictly to see it hit, but it felt a little cleaner and it didn’t trade like I normally expect it to.

If you play on the ps3, then you’ll be able to land combos with ease. I play on a ps3 with a vizio monitor and when I got to the arcade, it totally felt natural. On that note, gootecks and myself were thinking the game is a little slower (barely noticeable) than console ssf4.

The fact that the TC hits all chars now crouching or standing is awesome. It seems that if the strong hits, the game automatically will let the fp hit regardless of the distance. The shoulder is a still range specific though.
I know his jab hit box is amazing, but I was able to fend off all of the twins divekicks by hitting jab when they went to the air. I thought that was pretty cool.

His flippy grab move seemed a little crappier. When I play the console version, I do the move and press punch anytime I see movement, regardless of range and the game gives me a throw if the opponent’s not ducking. In the arcade, I felt I was getting beat out a lot more, as if the range on the throw box shrunk or something. Maybe that’s just me.

I didn’t get to use close s.mk as I was too busy mashing other buttons.

I believe his jab shoulder is faster. I hit the TC into jab shoulder, into ex shoulder in the corner. Is that possible on the console version?

I felt the startup on his ultra one is better. There is a delay on the console version which makes it crappy, but in the arcade, that ultra came out quick.

Things I’ll have to test:

His ultra 2. I hate that ultra, but since it got better, I’ll look for applications.
S.mk combos.
See if Guy still dies to Ryu c.mk

Please take these impressions with a grain of salt though. My knowledge of frame data is nonexistent and I mainly play by feel, so everything I notated was how it felt. With the xbox and ps3 being different, it could just be me. I’m sure you guys out there will give a more specific write up once you get your hands on it. I’m happy though, he seems more complete instead of the 90% character they shipped out on the console version. He’s definitely a B character now.

DaRabidDuckie · December 21, 2010, 1:10am

WTF? Super Meat Boy for $3.75?

You all need to buy this, like… right now. Like right the fuck now.

Also, the Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is on sale for FIFTY CENTS. That was a GREAT game.

Guy

Terrible.

Target combo still whiffs on crouchers. On hit.

Flip throw nerf isn’t that noticeable, really.

st.MK is faster, but still horrible.

cr.LK is quite good, but still doesn’t chain. No additional advantage on hit, so it’s really no easier to use once you land it.

Shoulders don’t seem significantly faster. Still a long way from what he had in Alpha.

Two-hit overhead is nice, but it’s not a game-changer. It hits quite slowly; the person I played against backdashed out of it before the second hit. If nothing else, at least you won’t eat a crumple because of it.

Didn’t try out the EX run-slide stuff but a second-hand account suggested that it’s not that useful, if only because it’s still stupidly unsafe, and unless you predict the fireball, more often than not, you soak it with the run anyway.

Nothing else that really stuck out to me. He’s largely unchanged, if a little less lop-sided. But still awful. Fucksake.

hmmm. I might want to start learning another character just in case.

Severin-X · December 21, 2010, 2:23am

Grats on the new dog man. What happened to you being scared of dogs?

Bring him up here so he can play with my Rotts and Pitts

Bigopinion · December 21, 2010, 2:23am

definitely read through eddie’s post quoting combofiend before you definitely decide to learn somebody else besides guy, that’s just one random wombat-puncher

TheJokerCPC · December 21, 2010, 3:15am

We just got a pitbull puppy at our apartment too. His name is Rocky and he is half Colby half Gator

Arson · December 21, 2010, 3:18am

From what I’ve seen Australia’s best player wouldn’t even be top 10 here in America… He wouldn’t even be the best Akuma player here. Don’t think that was him, but just saying… Some random Australian dude may not be very reliable. I don’t consider Guy anything close to terrible -now-, so I think he’ll be fine in AE.

iQuick · December 21, 2010, 3:20am

I’m on Antioch at the Shoneys chillin with my friend. I’ll be at gg soonish.

JFord78 · December 21, 2010, 3:22am

I’ve never been scared of dogs. I just never found a dog I really liked. But I got him for a discount, he’s the pick of his litter, I didn’t pay for him, and he’s friendly dog.
