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

Street Fighter V

• Hitbox has been changed.
• Hurtbox has been changed.

The mystery continues.

I see Ryu still firmly stuck in the lower tiers.
The VT1 DP’s keeping juggle points is nice, especially with VTC giving him a juggle point after TC, ut the VTC nerf makes it a little worse. It’ll be good to use after a EX Jodan though.

Cammy is pretty much the same, unless the hitbox/hurtbox changes are heavy nerfs.

Ken’s Heavy Tatsu had it’s first active frame removed. Isn’t that the knee bash he does when jumping into the rest of the move? I’m all for the end of onlinery, but isn’t this kind of going to screw his combos?

Vega’s TCs look really good. VT1s lost a lot of damage, but can be juggled afterwards (Except airborne, it got a damage buff tho.)

Karin’s VT1 might drain faster, but I think the cost of Guren Ken was either reduced or removed. Same as Guren Dodge. Might be a lot lower than the 40% it used to be. Not bad overall, looks like the opposite of what they’re doing with Cammy’s VT1.

422

Translation: “lol we nerfed it”

Karin having her c.HP hit behind her seems weird. I suspect this means the move will have a hurtbox that reaches the height of the screen, otherwise that would be another pretty huge AA buff for her.

423

Looks like Gief got nerfed. Pretty hard if ya ask me.
A lot of increased recovery on his anti-fireball moves and pokes. Some of them only on whiff. Still, going to be a lot harder for him to get in.

424

Wonder how good Abby’s vt 2 will be to warrant picking it over 1.

425

Juri :

Some ok stuff but nothing over the top, as expected.

Not sure what to think of her VT1 being 2 bars while depleting faster and gaining less bar from v-skill. But it is what it is.

Would had liked more work on her normals,such as less pushback from st.mp or even add her old forward mp back in the game.

She remains a character that will improve slowly over time but she will not see high spikes in buffs in one go, pretty much what happend in SF4.

Edit : need more info on that light fuhajin, more advantage on block ? more travel distance ? etc etc

Edit 2 : still maining her , i love you girl.

426

Doesn’t seems to me, he gets slightly nerfed in areas where the rest of the cast is.

427

I really don’t get those Ryu balance changes. Not one bit.

428

It seems Mika got buffed. Nice.

429

I think they probably buffed Ryu’s throw stun because they figure people are going to block on V-trigg 2 activation.

150 is decent and if it lands them closer for a meaty he’s got options. I don’t think anybody has a throw stun that high as far as front throws go.

430

The general hurtboxes/hitboxes to jumping and some standing normals are clearly there to reduce the jump ins festival SFV is.

Even Laura st.mp received the same buff.

431

She was nerfed and buffed, so basically, the same.

432

oh Rashid seems to have been buffed overall LOL. Prepare for ten more years of spinning mixers

433

It is the “Screw Fireballs, I want to Vroom in!!!” VT, so it might be good for a few matchups.

434

Buffed? I don’t think so.

435

looks at Alex changes

If that’s true, then that’s a good direction to take the game in my book.
Not sure it’s enough to actually make me try the game again, but it’s definitely a start if it’s correct.

437

Until April 2018.

438

Wasn’t Alex buffed?

439

Akuma’s forward throw deals 170 stun. That is great :D.

Standing Medium Kick
• Hurtbox has been changed.

Oh well, better than adding frames or changing the hitbox.

FANG and ALEX getting nothing 4 patches later…See ya’ll in 2019
