I wonder if the CA works like Alex’s, where it goes into an alternate follow-up sequence on whiff and/or chip kill?
Her stats:
Health 2
Power 4
Mobility 5
Technique 2
Range 3
Only female above 3 on Power
Based on season 1, this means she has 900 stamina.
While the stats are of course meaningless, I would think somebody loaded with counters would get a higher Technique score.
Here comes nu Ibuki
Maybe 925 or 950 is in play. It’s been pointed out to me that the Stamina numbers aren’t consistent.
In my opinion, it will be closer to Nash or Necalli’s.
I can see her at 950 max but I expect something like Cammy, so 900.
But yeah, the stats are stupid, Akuma has 875 HP (which is dumb) and 3 points in Health.
So, when does bae get her own sub-section?
That’s insane. Has anyone looked into the stats and see if there was any semblance to real life numbers?
I know technique is supposed to be subjective I guess but what about the others? Her have 4 power seems off… like that should have been at technique or something
Akuma has 3 health so… yeah.
Akuma gonna get buffed to 887.5 health in the next patch
I think these stats are sort of the characters “canon” stats, not in game stats.
yea I’m pretty sure that is correct… after actually looking at them.
Her move list:
So qcb+K is definitely her dandy step (or vanity step in her case) and she has different follow-ups based on the strength.
Parabellum is the ice slashes and like lightning legs it can be done either with a qcf motion or by mashing P. I don’t get why they keep adding back mashed commands, especially on pretty technical characters like Chun or Kolin.
Her double jump is done with d+MP like Chun’s head stomp and can be done during a neutral jump too which is very interesting.
f+MK is probably an overhead. I dunno if we’ve seen b+HK yet.
She definitely has an air throw.
That leaves us with Frost Touch and Hailstorm… one of them is the iceball. I guess it is Hailstorm due to the name and the command motion. The other 3 are therefore the counter grabs, which means you have to choose if you want to counter low, mid or air. Maybe the EX version covers all three options?
I like how the name even sounds like Dandy Step. Woshige so stronk
i think she has two counters
the v-skill one goes through attacks and does the second slash
frost touch is the one that goes into a cutscene
quote me on this shit b
Yes, Frost Touch is actually her counter command grab. In the trailer they showed a ground and an air version but it looks like on the ground you also have to choose between low and mid/high attacks.
Depending on the startup and the properties it might actually be a really good AA.
- An air throw and not a throw off a special (like Cammy’s hooligan), that’s great.
- A command jump with down, I’m not sure about that choice even if she makes an ice plateform besides her feet. I wonder if we will be able do use it like Sadira double jump in KI or do it fast like Chun Instant Yosokyaku.
- Sniping Kick, Blizzard Heel, it’s interesting. It doesn’t look like she have a great AA (but she does have an air grab, a high counter and HK can work), so I assume the sniping kick will be one, maybe like Chun Back HK or Urien Stand HK. Low for the other is my guess (like, she hits the foot of her opponent with her heel)
- So, I wonder if she will be able to use every follow up of her ex step or those from the medium (it might like Decapre though).
- The crouch fierce animation in her Brinicle combo is the backfist (stand HP) ?!
- Still perplexed about that low kick in her target, because she has two differents target, 2LK into 2MK and 2LK into 2HK (the animation tells me it’s a crouch roundhouse but I’m still unsure about it)
- Also, what can her jump into grab could be ? We did see her regular jump so it can’t be a jump off the vanity step. Is it the Light Kick follow up into grab instead of MK ?
- Wonder if her ex counter will beat everything or be specific.
- Piano input for the parabellum, that does not surprise me and it will be even faster than the command to do it after her target.
- I would be surprised if her ex hailstorm have invincibility.
