Hey I know NO ONE plays Reg. Yashiro but did they remove missile might bash (HCB+P) and million bash stream (HCB, QCF+P SDM) like in 2k2?
Takuma is also a fairly decent projectile character, and has like one or 2 mix-ups to boot.
no way man. the only change i’ve seen is that his f+a will now otg the opponent.
(whether o. yashiro’s does the same is to be seen)
I always found him to be a gimmicky character that is pure rushdown in high level play. What are these mixups?
Takuma? Fireball into the running grab makes his fireball unblockable and unrollable at some distance.
Edit. Did some UM Takuma research for shits and giggles. source:

meaning(literal translation by yours truly),
-fireball super is like 00 version, became a DM
-far b priority worsened
-running gram became a command throw, seems throwing distance is uselessly short
-it’s now possible to reflect fireball with qcb+punch
-zanretsuken looks invincible vs high attack? If so Takuma earned an antiair;;;
-low A seems to have shorter reach
-with three power gauge stocks it’s possible to do SDM ryoko, this is a lottery winner
so is Arcade infinity the only place that has this in America right now?
What about internationally, besides Japan who obviously has the game right now?
To quote Yashiro himself “NANI?!” I wonder how much ownage Orochi Yashiro can dish out with THAT shit…
Korea got one. It’s in Isu Theme park I believe.
Can someone tell me what new things Heavy D! has besides his new Shadow DM?
A few more people today were using EX Mode and after a good amount of competition I’d say EX Mode is pretty much on par with Advance mode.
The big difference is the walking speed in EX Mode, it’s fast enough to incorporate a few rushdown tactics. People are already starting to come up with mind-games using the new and improved dodging.
Also of note, I don’t remember him being able to do this but Geese can now reverse Reg. Geese’s A.Reppuken. It makes me wonder if can you can reverse other close range fireballs like Ryu’s, Robert’s and Yuri’s. I didn’t get a chance to test though.
Reverse? Hit them with their own attack?
Only if the fireball is done really far away, when the opponent is down. If you do the running grab after I have blocked a fireball, and I use the alternate guard glitch, you will always whiff the running grab and eat a combo.
So…this unblockable still exists in UM then?
I don’t think the f+A as OTG is very useful…perhaps useful if you need that extra damage for the kill, but if you OTG you will probably not have enough time to set up a guessing game on their wakeup. Especially after hcf+P, it would be more advantageous to go for his many ambigious setups.
i dont quite understand that last one
quite a mix bag there, pretty pleased though
And what the fuck with that geese being able to counter his shippuken, you’re right you should be able to counter roberts yuris and ryos and whoever else, also can blue mary counter it to?
It means that a well stocked Takuma will be an even bigger pain in the ass than in regular '98. Since you don’t need to go into MAX mode to do a SDM, the scary factor of eating a ranbu is increased x10.
so i um now if you just do an sdm without being at max it requires 3 stocks?
so what happens if your at max? does it still eat just the one stock minus the intial stock you’ve used to max up, also is the damage the same? OR i’m completly fucking this up and you can only acess sdms using 3 stocks and maxing up does not allow you to sdm now
max mode and sdms still work the old way, just that you can do sdms without entering max mode at the cost of 3 stocks now
if the dm is like kof2000 takuma then he can go for kick grab -> fireball dm -> unblockable setup
hopefully that info about normal grabs being even easier to break wasnt true?
where in the blue fuck are some recent quality match videos!?
from the cluster of arcades in socal, unless i’m missing some underground mexican secret arcade, Arcade Infinity is the only arcade that has it in the US(we pre-purchased the japanese kit before the US price announcement), and FFA isn’t getting it until April 10th.
Pharaon is postin some vids:

Players seem to be kinda fucking around but you’ll see some new O.Yuri stuff in the 2nd set.
