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

[Marmalade_Jones]

Anyone else not dropping their mains or trying anyone new until the Season 3 characters start rolling out?

I am sticking to Zangief no matter what. He and I go 25 years of history together.
I am not dropping him because of a few not very significant nerfs. Hell, if he was made the bottomest of the tiers, I will still stick to him.

I stuck with Link in Smash for 18 years

In the end I dropped him

Sometimes you just gotta let things go

18 years of Smash? Why don’t you take your own advice and drop that game?

[Volt]

I think that’s the first time a fighting game character has ever gotten a patch NOTE.

At least for a major patch.

Balrog. S2.5. Never forget.

Because I have a job and have to put food on the table for my family, I wasn’t able to enjoy patch note day like the rest of you bums.

So instead of wading through 450 posts and 15 pages just give me the low down.

Is Kolin OP?
Is Cammy still OP?
Is Ryu god like now?
Did they nerf Laura and Rog?

Also I already know about the VS being -8 OB and +2 on hit.

I’d give you my classic Twinbraids “reee” post but I’m not gonna drop for her for some shit like that. And at this point in my game I can’t keep using that move as a crutch.

Lay it on me.

At least read the post I tagged you in, bitch!!!

[LockM]

Is there a general SFV SRK discord, an overview of all the SFV SRK character discords?

[OceanMachine]

I thought someone said they were working on implementing the UE4 fix to input lag?

Yorkey said that.

You gotta treat yorkey like twitch chat sometimes

I meant someone relevant.

@TWINBLADES Here’s the real legit breakdown.

Kolin seems like she’s going to have to hope her VT2 is the business to survive. Other than some of the ice slide targets being more safe and bhk being better, she seems about the same or not much better on paper. Can only really know on launch I guess. Lots of hit box change stuff that can’t be seen in notes.

Cammy is still OP. V Skill is plus 7 on hit now so you can land max range c.MK after that shit now. V Reversal is minus 4 (technically punishable) on block now, but fuck blocking. VT2 is probably where most of her other real buffs lie.

Ryu and godlike won’t be in the same sentence this Pro Tour.

Rog and Laura got berfed. Basically some of the shit you hated about them got nerfed and replaced with new shit you will hate. Basically you will hate them.

Link wasn’t the problem

smash is

Smash is the reason I’m here today

Smash is good and pure!!!

Yeah and all the OG SF players should stop playing the game they’ve been playing for 20+ years

No

I will never drop Smash

Well there is technically and it was in the last thread title. I’ll leave that up to @Froztey to notify and change thread title when he feels necessary.

[Genistar]

Due to the vanity step change kolin did lose corner set ups that used it. Don’t go to the kolin discord. They thint she died.

[Pertho]

Sticking to smash after finding fighting games is like drinking Natty Light after finding Shiner.

[Evil_Canadian]

DISCORD!!!

[LockM]

Cammy is still OP. V Skill is plus 7 on hit now so you can land max range c.MK after that shit now. V Reversal is minus 4 (technically punishable) on block now, but fuck blocking. VT2 is probably where most of her other real buffs lie.

Regarding the Cammy v-skill change, she previousely was +6 so she theoretically should be able to link st.hp reliably on hit. (Un)fortunately there were many situations where she ended up too far and the 1st active frame of the st.hp tended to whiff and it got blocked and you died because of it. It was very finnicky and most people went with the safe option. Damage wise it’s not a buff as she could do it before, it just wasn’t reliable.

Beer is shit in general so I’m disagreeing on principle

[Genistar]

I think Kolin should be okay. Apparently light vanity corner set ups were a big deal to her. I think what capcom wants to do is make it so vskill isn’t a crutch. Kolin’s will still do so anyway but now the punishment is bigger but the reward is smaller for a regular hit. If you didn’t rely on medium vanity gimmicks, I think you should be okay.

Kolin:

St.hp damage reduced, sounds like it launches on crush counter now rather than a standing spin

This isn’t a big deal to me because it was my go to whiff punish button. Damaged be damned it’s still a damn good footies button.

St.hk has a larger anti-air hitbox reaching behind her

I mean that’s cool, I guess. There was more than one issue with that button being used as an AA so I don’t really care. If the follow ups are still inconsistent then I’m still not using it.

Crouching light kick during MK Vanity step was nerfed (more pushback)

This seems like the most pointless nerf wtf. Like what Kolin player was abusing one of the most telegraphed specials that made c.LK a problem?

Okay whatever next one…

Jumping Heavy Kick had an active frame removed, presumably the one that makes it such a good jump-in

Her cr.lk -> cr.hp target combo from MK Vanity step was changed to -2 on block from -8

What is the point of this? Unless because of VT2 making VS actually good I don’t know what the point of this is. Did Capcom think Kolin players are abusing this move?

Her cr.mp -> st.hp target combo from MK Vanity step was changed to -8 on block from -2

Okay… I mean sure I’ll take it thanks Capcom.

V-skill is +2 on hit, -8 on block, 3 frames more recovery and builds less v-gauge

I’m mad about VG and more recovery but I less unga yada yada. One of you fucking little bitches snitched to capcom. You better hope I don’t find out which one of you it was…

You can steer yourself slightly in the air when using HK Vanity Step

That’s kinda cool but I’m not sure what problem this solves. Vanity is very telegraphed move so people don’t really fall for it like that. But ever so once in a while you get a dummy with it. Maybe this will be good for more hands on resets.

Critical Art has a taller hitbox and collision box (presumably can use it better as an anti-air now)

I mean sure thanks Capcom. I always felt like she should be able to consistently AA with super totally not sarcasm

Low counter damage increased (both regular and EX)

OOOOOH WOW IT DOES MORE DAMAGE
totally not sarcasm

She’ll still be good but your online tactics have been dealt with :razz:

There ya go

I’ll wait for AE before I scream.

@Bea_Iank and @Volt are you guys okay for matches tonight? I should be okay for the next hour or so if that works for either/both of you.

Kolin will be fine imo. The biggest nerf is vskill. She benefits from the command grab nerfs, she still kept her little pressure from throws, her basic mix ups a still intact, corner mix ups need a little adjustment, and vtrigger 2 might fix the damage issue she has.

[DevilJin_01]

Hey at least you got Cammy.

[Evil_Canadian]

Abigail got a lot of buffs

@KingCrimson I’m available if you need another warm body in the lobby.

[Trife88]

I would totally give Cammy another shot with 15 minutes of lab work if I could use her freaking Doll outfit…for some reason it doesn’t work on PC and I’m not cashin’ out on no damn Cummy outfit…It does look good though…no…NO…

Ok fuck the suspense…what IS Karin and Juri’s VT2 in detail?
