a gamacharge from the air 0______o, liesssssssssssssssss
The video quality is pretty questionable, but the source for my speculation is Hulk doing a downwards gamma charge (just like the 2nd half to AA Gamma Charge) at about 1:37:01 in this archived video. I don’t see any visual effects from AA gamma charge (upwards) before it comes out- it just looks like a normal jump into a downwards gamma charge.
Right now Hulk is solid as long as his feet are on the ground, but his air options are weak, like puny Banner’s. Air gamma charge could shore up a big weakness in his game.
Looked like the normal anti air gamma charge to me. Who know’s though they might actually give him an air gamma charge, it would make hulk very happy… You wouldnt like hulk when he’s very happy.
That is definately a normal AA charge (L - H). Having an air charge would be too good.
The new armor is crazy though, I can’t even believe how many matchups just got crazy easier.
Do we have video of his s.:h: actually absorbing multiple hits? As it is, I already have plenty of players say things like “What?!?! I clearly hit Hulk <insert number > 1> times!” If it’s already in the video, I apologize: I’m at work and I can’t check that video out until my next break in 90 minutes.
So, I watched the Hulk UMvC3 matches in the video linked by LiesInc - while there’s no evidence of the s.:h: absorbing multiple hits or not, there was actually a very interesting happening during one of the matches. At one point, Taskmaster does his Shield Charge command normal, delays, and then does launcher (sorry, I don’t have the time, but it’s one of the next 2 matches after the match that LiesInc directed us to). During the delay, Hulk did his s.:h: and the armor actually started up in time to block the :s:. I watched it twice and I’m pretty sure that s.:h: gets it’s armor much faster. I still have trouble believing that they would give Hulk multi-hit armor on his s.:h: though.
i’d probably prefer the armor starting right away to having it take multiple hits LOL
I thought that at first, but after thinking about it a little more, I was less excited. While it would be helpful to fight against people who use :h: attacks for frame traps, it wouldn’t help against people that are attacking Hulk with jabs. Consider the following common situation:
Wesker dashes at me and c.:l:, c., c.:h:. Right now, we can’t armor this unless we get a headstart. If we try, we get hit by the c.:l: too early and eat a combo. If our armor started earlier in this same situation, we would block the c.:l:, then get hit by c.
. Since the combo would actually start with the c.
instead, we would actually take more damage because damage scaling would start 1 hit later.
In short, longer armored startup is a double-edged sword that can be helpful in some situations, but if relied on too heavily, can actually be more of a hinderance than what we already have. That said, if it starts up super fast and is multi-hit armor, Hulk is going to be way more scary.
Anybody catch the 8 year old Hulk user on the EVO streams? All he did was st.H,S, and he got top 50. People freeze when fighting Hulk, and they get caught pressing too many buttons. If an 8 year old can get that far with Hulk, think of how well a real Hulk player could do…
I don’t want to knock the kid though. He made some VERY smart decisions with Gamma Crush punishes, and his Sentinel was fun to watch (empty jumps into throw!).
People are calling hulk cheap now that the kid was tearing people up, I can’t help but laugh, I wonder if we will see a lot more hulk players now.
Yeah, seeing him get so far made me both happy and sad at the same time. Happy to see a kid do so well - he was very talented for his age. But also sad because before seeing Noah, I was upset that I didn’t go to EVO and after seeing him do so well made me a little more depressed that I didn’t go.
People obviously didn’t know the Hulk match-up at all. Assuming that I’m still this confident of my abilities come EVO 2012, I will do whatever it takes to go.
Ha, same feelings here. If he got 48th, think of what a real Hulk team could do. People weren’t even punishing a blocked S! And think of people pressing buttons after a +5 AA Gamma Charge. Man, we both have to make it out to EVO next year…
Hulk’s new move, as spotted by Karsticles on GAF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbUP1Y4te9M&feature=youtu.be&t=39m10s
Looks like something that you might be able to use to trade with fireballs or beams against zoning opponents?
It doesn’t look like a projectile to me, but it does have some serious range on it.
Is it that standing M looking move? I’m having a hard time seeing it
Yes, it looks like a longer range, faster standing in which Hulk is turned towards the camera instead of away.
Alright, it looked different but I wasn’t completely sure since it only happened once and it happened pretty quickly. On a seperate note, do any of you hulk users plan on heading to DEV? I plan on heading out and repping hulk at a major.
@Hulk’s new move
Do you think this was all of the move? Hulk just says “Hulk…” and then the move is canceled into a Gamma Charge. Is whatever he’s about to say just cut off by the Charge or could there be something else after this?
I’m sure the recovery was cancelled, but I can’t imagine there was more to the actual attack.
I want some specifics on this move. Does it have super armor? Can it be comboed from max range? Why use it over st.M or st.H?
