Of course you can go hands on with Super Street Fighter IV, and get chances to win an early copy of the final game on PlayStation 3.
Well now I don’t want to head down to LA, PS3 ftl
ummm…if anyone who has a modded box, hit me up? Bye the way Donut Dojo this Friday.
Tell us about the adjustments for Gen.
Tsukamoto:
In America, many people are saying that Gen has gotten weaker, and those rumors have infiltrated Japan as well. So I imagine there are many people who want to hear about this.
Okada:
Yes. Word on the street is that Gen has gotten weaker, but I think that rather than saying he’s weaker, our adjustments to him have been to make him more like Gen. The most important point was to give him more variation between his Crane and Mantis styles. Being able to effectively use his Crane and Mantis styles is what will bring Gen to life.
Sano:
First, we’ve changed the jump for both Crane and Mantis. In Mantis style his jump arc is a bit higher than in was in Street Fighter 4. Also, in IV, if he does a backdash and the invincibility runs out, he was considered to be in a grounded state, which meant that he could also eat a big combo as well. But for Super Street Fighter 4, he will be considered airborne, so all he will eat is the counter attack, so this is pretty good for Gen. Also, for Crane style, during a jump he will stay in the air a bit longer, so it will be easier to land jumping attacks. While there were many people who felt that the low jumps made attacking easier, in IV there were a lot of instances where Gen would hit the ground before he could get his attack out, so we made our adjustments with this in mind. We also sped up the startup on his Medium Punch and Medium Kick, that many people felt were slow and heavy. Now it should be much quicker to get out.
Okada:
For his specials, we’ve made his Oga wall dives faster, so it should be easier to hit opponents with. If we were to put this in numbers, in IV after clinging to the ceiling and then going for his attack, the attack came out on the 10th frame. In Super Street Fighter 4, now it comes out on the 3rd frame. So, its 7 frames faster.
Sano:
We’ve shortened the recovery on the Mantis Super to 4 frames after hit, and the startup on his Crane Super has been shortened by/to 10 frames, making it easier to hit with. Also, for his Crouch Hard Punch, which is pretty important for him, we’ve increased the hit range of it, and on counter hit Gen will take airborne damage. In the Alpha series, this was a move that if Gen landed would lead to big damage, but on counter hit Gen would take big damage, but this time around we’ve done things a little differently.
From what we’ve heard it sounds like Gen has gotten stronger - what do you think his rank in the tiers are now?
Sano:
Having moves that come out fast and with good priority don’t always make for a strong character. Gen has always been about technique, and that hasn’t changed. Now, I just feel that his ease of use has gotten fairly better.
What other areas have been adjusted?
Okada:
For Gen, basically there’s nothing we haven’t tweaked - we’ve adjusted more or less all of his moves. He has been strengthened to really bring out his technique. The adjustments we’ve made that are a bit off-course from that is that his Medium Kick, Cancel into Rapid Slap (Hyakurenkou) loop combo is a lot harder to do now. With this loop combo, even if the opponent blocked, Gen could bully them with this, and it was kind of one-sided for Gen. The flow is basically Medium Kick -> Hands -> Medium Kick -> Hands - maybe this is something that people can’t ordinarily do, but with a rapid-fire pad then you can keep this up continuously. We had a lot of Gen players telling us “This isn’t how Gen fights!” and as its not really Gen-like it was taken out.
Tell us about his new ultras.
Okada:
The Mantis ultra is based off his old “Shitenshuu” touch of death move, and the Crane Ultra is a powered-up version of his Oga wall dives. For the Mantis ultra, in the same way that you can combo his Crane Ultra I from the Waterfall Kick, Gen can combo the Mantis Ultra II from the Waterfall Kick as well. If you have confidence in your rushdown, Mantis Ultra II should be interesting. Crane Ultra II is a mid-air ultra, so if you match up with your opponent’s movements there should be plenty of ways to hit it. It’s especially good against opponents with projectiles. For example, it can be a good counter against Fireballs. So if your opponent is just randomly throwing Fireballs against you, Gen can use this ultra to really make him pay for it.
How many setups are we looking at for Friday.
I think my plans for Friday night at least changed, so I might be able to roll out.
Since Rivival is awesome, we now have, temporarily, Super Street Fighter 2 ready to go here in Santa Rosa for the time being… We should make something happen.
Cuthroat’s setup is not for sure as it doesn’t belong to him and the owner is going out of town for a while. We’ll either post here or text somebody if that changes.
I missed something, we doing an old school gaming session somewhere? If so I nominate Last Blade 2~
Nick, I didn’t think you posted anymore 
If Friday Dojo is still on, we can get all the setups we have there in Santa Rosa. How many do we have?

Sorry… my bad…
I meant Super Street Fighter 4…
Haha… Super Street Figher 2…
I’m leaning towards going since my original plans changed slightly. Also gotta love Hooman telling me I have to go to Donut Dojo Friday’s because things aren’t the same without me there.
I’m hoping that meant that everyone needs some random ass commentary all night during matches hahaha
I hope we can get 3 Super Setups for Friday
See you guys Friday, also. On Wednesday, if you guys were ever just thinkin about goin to Starbase, this Wednesday is gonna be sick as fuck. Lots of heads from all over the bay are comin. Wednesday at Starbase is gonna be crazy. I’m planning on having 5 setups there.
