I dunno if that’s worth waiting for considering Rashid went mostly unchecked and Abigail got buffed up. I don’t see 3.5 changing enough to make things that much easier. At this point it’s just the unga gets shifted around.

It sounds like MOV wants to work towards somewhat consistent 1st or 2nd places and Chun isn’t going to make that happen regardless of what happens in 3.5. If Karin was too fair for Mago, very likely MOV is done.

cammy should be a better pick for MOV, she can play honest and Unga when she wants unlike chun li who HAS to play honest streetfighter in a game where unga is what you need to be considered a good character

He should play canada.

Idk. Maybe stuff stays but for most of the cast it seems like they have a general direction that matches the system changes. Its just that theres a few characters who are out of line and stand out above the rest as top tier. I think they know whats considered too much.

Yeah and either way, moving to a better character than Chun in the eSports environment is the right move.

Waiting for Capcom to do shit is the wrong move. Fighting games are still about picking good stuff and winning with good stuff and it’s not worth waiting for people pressing shit on a computer. You’ll get more done faster either pushing yourself harder with a strong character or picking a stronger character.

They’ll just nerf alex and ryu some more. Oh and necalli will still be on cruise mode.

Chun having a better throw game would be good

Make it long ranged again :slight_smile:

What’s the last tournament with an American win? I can’t remember…srs

First Momochi dropping Ken, and now MOV dropping Chun-Li. Two of my favorite players no longer playing my favorite characters. Season three is gonna be rough.

I dont think she necessarily “needs” anything unless we are in fact just going to have the meta always dominated by a handful of coin flip characters for the next few years.

If thats the case then a lot of characters need a lot of stuff. Real tick throw, season 1 stand lk, and that Guile fireball frame data.

Oh Sasaki is back to Ken again. So Ryu buffs. I’d like Ryu to get his season 1 lp fireball data and a faster travelling hp fireball. Also 10dmg to hp dp. Just because it annoys me that mp and hp are the same.

Who cares it’s not like you arent gonna drop her If they did that :coffee:

That’s the thing. She isn’t going to get anything because she’s too good at what she’s good at to give her much more. It’s just not giving her anything more (more unga, ways around fireballs) pretty much places her out of the eSports meta minus counter picking against certain characters. Basically exactly what she was in IV.

Capcom won’t give her what she needs to survive the meta because she is locked into her archetype. They’re not going to push more than that. It’s just unfortunate that her archetype loses to what is the best stuff in the game. Like if Ibuki has a matchup where she gets out neutraled, she can still catch a good read/spot and start the unga. Chun has no flick the switch option like that.

AE needs to come with a disclaimer…something like you’re old main may function differently in SFV
Might encourage others to try out the New Generation…seems like that’s what Capcom wants…
Can’t wait for Fawaifu and G-Man

Is it me or did traffic here not yet recover from the near death experience we all had a few weeks ago?

People are still on that disgusting discord.

If her V-Skill did it’s job that would be a step in the right direction. Capcom has never adjusted it for the better. Chun really needs Hazanshu at this point a little unga every now and then don’t hurt nobody.

I missed Justin using Karin’s VT2…but did he use it to cover her unsafe moves? I don’t think that’s too smart…maybe trying it once in a match if you’re like 99% in the life lead :^) but I think it’s good for those Primitive Forward Moving Characters and she gets full damaging combos on hit AND if they go for a low she gets full grounded combos if you react quick enough…

Plus add in the fact her VT confirm combos aren’t as good anymore (for her at least)

It’s like Capcom knows it’s Unga but they like it so just give some of the characters counters and some type of weird ass Air Grab (Alex VT2 wtf is that thing)

Always wanted to dp dragons and shit. Thank you Capcom for making dreams come true

I think a few characters would benefit tremendously from new and better vskills.

They can also balance things around like for example if your character has a mediocre VT then give them an excellent vskill and vreversal and vice versa. The ways you can play around with this are endless.

Throw in a second vskill and vreversal and we are set for good!
