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

oh no fraud giefs don’t have their baby move to whiff into piledriver anymore cause they don’t know how to get close normally the world is ending!!!

You cannot shake the faith of a true devotee of Neo-Shadaloo. Your persecution only assures me I’m on the path to salvation.

Now he’s more honest in a honest game!

Looks like you can actually keep Gief out with fireballs in this game.

Well, not quite keep out, but at least annoy him.

I really wonder what all these general hurtbox/hitbox “adjustments” mean. Plus with some of the overbearing moves (and grabs) getting more recovery frames I wonder if Capcom wants more whiff punishing in s3.
Hard to say though. Looking forward to the English patch notes for more clarity

I think most of them have to do with improving the general anti-air situation.

Capcom wants 3 things this patch.

  1. More whiff punishing according to these hit box changes.
  2. 2 frames of input lag shaved off thanks to the unreal 4 update coming soon, making it easier to whiff punish.
  3. More people bitching about the netcode being worse because of those 2 frames of input lag being removed thus indirectly making the online worse.

Actually you’re right. Vega had 50 frames of recovery instead of 52 and that’s the reason why they added 10 frames.

So all command grabs have the same amount of recovery on whiff?

Pretty much.

Holy fuck Abigail’s cr.lk being +5 on hit is so fucking huge what the hell.

Death to all jab aa

The Gief thread makes so much more sense now. I should have known.

The 3 frames more of recovery on the knee attack hurt a bit, but I fail to see how that is the end of the world to Zangief.
You will have to be more careful when applying it. I will just adapt and keep going as usual.

I’m happy Mad Catz is back, i’m too used to TE sticks, will never use a Hori again.

@Volta explain yourself

Theyre changing the way AA jab and some other grounded AAs interact with jump heavy buttons.

Part of me wonders if the increased pushback on hit thing also applies there. Maybe trying to nerf the 50/50 situation after as well if you happen to still make it work.

Theres also a bunch of grounded AA improvements to characters that needed them.

If there’s a season 3.5 Abigail is gonna fuckin get it

Ok I admit it, Savagery, Blonka and Twinblades are my alternate accounts.

and by it

you mean more buffs!!!
