The SFV Lounge: SRK is ALIVE. AE Hype is BACK! DISCORD going the way of DISCO

Kolins V-skill was crazy for a V-skill considering some of the ass tier skills in the game. I assume it’ll still connect on a counter hit.

Been learning Ed this week… fits like a glove, pissed I hadn’t tried him earlier.

Funny, I was thinking just last night how good he is and was hoping he wouldn’t get nerfed to hell…

I love that you use the word “was”

I’ll stop S2 from here till the 16th.

Shit. I was cautiously optimistic that Capcom can’t be this stupid before the notes, but it looks like out of the main s.MK poke abusers (Karin, Cammy, Juri) only Karin got the nerfhammer.

This is a S2 style overnerf, taking her from having the best poking s.MK in the game to not even up there anymore. Even characters like Chun and Rashid have better s.MKs now (which they never use since they have much better low commitment pokes to throw out there).

Cammy’s is still -2 so

But don’t even mention Juri’s because it’s -4, all they’ve done is brought your st.mk in line with hers. Having a poke that you can press at range that’s -2 but so fast the opponent can’t contest is a stupid normal and promotes thoughtless neutral.

It’s not a significant nerf, it will still be one of her most deadly midrange tools. Only the start-up nerf is a major factor but due to st.mk’s pretty nutty hitbox I doubt Karin players will stop using the button. 7f at -4 felt justified to me, and I hope they at least retain it’s start-up.

Karin’s s.MK is 8f startup at -4 ob now. Juri has the better s.MK now I believe, since hers still has the quirk where the 1st hit comes out faster (5f?) which gives you the benifit of stuffing out a retaliatory poke while throwing your own out.

I like additional active frame added to throws.

purbeast · January 4, 2018, 5:38pm

Are there patch notes about the nerfs to the netcode for AE?

NCK_Feroce · January 4, 2018, 5:43pm

Soon®

GetTheTables · January 4, 2018, 5:50pm

Abigail buffs make me scared for the future.

So looking across the characters, it looks like everyone’s jumping heavies got at least hurtbox adjustments and a lot of them got hitbox and hurtbox adjustments.

Hard to tell what it means but like the jab and command grab changes it seems to be one of the themes of the patch.

Neclord · January 4, 2018, 5:52pm

Karin st.mk is really strong. I think the nerf is justified.

N-no it has nothing to do with me being a Laura main I swear!

Plaid_Unicorn · January 4, 2018, 5:53pm

Lol

Capcom 1 uped themselves from last year when I didn’t think possible… GGs

Only first hitbox which doesn’t have the poking range, second hitbox I believe is 7f

They’re practically the same now, idk why it got nerfed on start-up but the -4 is completely justified.

YorKeY · January 4, 2018, 6:06pm

So this is a small patch then huh, they didn’t change characters even 1/4th the amount they did for season 2.
Even if this isn’t the full patch notes, it’s probably gonna be only half the amount of changes we got last time, nothing wrong with that though.

Spada · January 4, 2018, 6:10pm

Capcom right now

Volt · January 4, 2018, 6:21pm

Soon was actually soon. Kinda.

Good morning everyone, what are Ryu’s VT1 buffs?

amrraed · January 4, 2018, 6:43pm

What changed with the illuminate asshole?

GetTheTables · January 4, 2018, 6:48pm

Also, unrelated to patch notes it was lame of nature to snow just enough to make the drive into work suck but not enough to get me out of work today.

Actually now that I think about it that is surprisingly similar to the patch notes.

PristineButtons · January 4, 2018, 6:49pm

Vega? Saw buster claw change or something.
Fang?
Also, fuck Juri and the future Juri army in advance.

Jocelot · January 4, 2018, 6:52pm

I’m gonna miss Cr.HP into Sweep for Rashid. But ahhhh well, coulda been worse!

Paradise1955 · January 4, 2018, 6:54pm

@“DevilJin 01” goddamit I went to sleep and didn’t get to see, the cr.mk sounds good tho. Do you remember any other changes?

Laggu1926 · January 4, 2018, 6:58pm

Fang got damage increase on all sotoja (+20 on the fierce one),hitbox/hurtbox adjustments, vskill has a hitbox now while in vtrigger 1, 3f less recovery on ryubenda (not too sure bout that one)
