The Return of the Thigh: Chun-Li SSF4 Thread

I see that the + on hit is nice, but honestly I’m quite disappointed in the +1f startup. In your opinion, do you think this move generally got better or worse? I’m quite bad with frame data, so I can’t really tell just by looking at those stats.

Most important for me is…do you guys think this will affect the sniping ability of her s.HK?

1 frame wont make that much of a difference. I think the move got worse overall though. There’s hardly a benefit of +1 hitstun if you cant combo anything after.

1 frame is impossible to notice. if someone think they do then they are just imagining. 1 frame is 1/60 second.

Thanks, your thoughts on the startup sounds good to me nevertheless because I rely on that move against large opponents walking towards me. I also thought that having a 1 frame improvement on block would be good, but I then realized that s.HK is almost always used at max range anyway so the benefits might not be substantial.

I forgot to give my thanks to Venomish for going through the comparison. Thanks, it really saved some time.

I tested out the new cast and it works on Cody, Makoto and Hakan as well. It was successful for each new character 10/10 times. Please verify this. Thank you. :slight_smile:

I apologize if this was already assumed knowledge among you folk. :confused:

Edit:

I made a few videos to show my mates. Decided to share the love.

Chun-li’s frame data for SSFIV is out now :smiley:

YES!YES!YES!

My friend and I were surprised at who we found it working on O_O. Ibuki, Akuma, Guile, Ryu, Ken ect. I’m about to go test the entire cast blocking and doing their reversal. I can’t make a vid yet, but i think this could be huge! This could give chun the scariest corner game bar NONE.

EDIT: hmmm. It seems i am a scrub. Can a real Chunner check this out please? : )

Scariest corner game? Shit needs to be fixed. That’s ridiculous. As if SSF4 Chun couldnt be even more dumbed down. :confused:

I did a quick test for the returning cast and the setup also hits against Guile, Akuma, Gen, Dan, Sakura, Chun Li, Dhalsim and Dictator/M. Bison. Seems like the same culprits from SFIV remain.

Chun Li can reliably reversal EX SBK and Kikosho out.
Akuma, Dhalsim and Dictator can reliably teleport out.

Here is what i’d like to see happen

Chun to have a hcf kikoken.
Kikosho to be a bit stronger.
Ex Hasunshu to have 2 hits instead of one so it can’t be focus attacked.
A better AA
A little more health like 50 more

The last post in this thread was made in May. This thread was talking about the release of Super, not the release of Super for Arcade.

Why necro a dead thread?

In addition to that, the suggestions you made would break the character.

Word. West asked me before ‘what more could you possibly want from this character?’.

I told him ‘nothing dude… just don’t take anything away. :lol:’.

She’s really solid as is. Dunno why people are making suggestions for her to go overboard. Capcom’s new balance philosophy seems to be “nerf nerf nerf” anyway, so not having too much would be a good way to avoid that and remain solid.
