Ohhh, fancy.
It was time for Heidern to come back to the fray.
He is looking quite fun to play there.

NCK_Feroce · February 22, 2018, 10:30pm

Something wrong with that?

GetTheTables · February 22, 2018, 10:38pm

That’s gooooooood shit. I forgot KOF XIV had that second round of DLC chars. A pleasant reminder.

DevilJin_01 · February 22, 2018, 10:38pm

I only play Capcom games and only the Capcom games that I like.

Which is why I’m waiting for Anniversary Collection so I can play more of the Capcom games I like.

TWINBLADES · February 22, 2018, 10:39pm

All the Brazilian reps are coming out to play

Bea_Iank · February 22, 2018, 10:43pm

Now if only they were to bring back the original Brazilian of the series, Richard Meyer!

Veserius · February 22, 2018, 10:59pm

st.lk very good, oki problems, electricity isn’t very good, VT2 is overrated, slide is what people think Vega’s is, sweep is like Karin’s, cr.mk doesn’t make any sense, no 3f sucks, good AA, hp blanka ball is useless outside of whiff punishing with it raw, his jump is weird, v-reversal is ass

FengShuiEnergy · February 22, 2018, 11:05pm

Ivy still has her huge knockers I see.

@FilthySpecs what time will be a good time for you tonight so we can set up the training lounge?

Idk i played like 10 Blankas last night ranging from diamond up to ultra diamond and i dont think i got hit once by slide under a fireball. Every time it hit it was random catching me not crouch blocking.

Think that’ll change pretty fast once people start learning him. Like if you throw a fireball from at least round start position it’s extremely easy to slide under on reaction. Anything past that, just keep walking forward or coward crouching until you’re in that range. Bad Ryus will keep throwing fireballs, good ones will stop throwing them since they will get punished. Either way you stop them from throwing fireballs.

On top of all of the other options he has EX command grab is projectile invincible, his VT1 horizontal balls are projectile invincible and his up balls are full invincible on start up and projectile invincible as well. Basically in the long run you’re not going to be having a very successful fireball game vs Blanka. Guile and Nash at least have the recovery and frame advantage on block to bait his tools better, but Ryu is just gonna be walking on eggshells to throw any fireball.

Nah. Inside round start distance he has to guess for fireball punishes. Thats where anyone with a good fireball game will throw them. 90% of the cast has easy punishes from round start and further.

Its easier and less risky to just try and jump or coward crouch. Inside half screen distance also makes slide into a ryu crouch hp punish on block. Slide comes out pretty quick but there is a decent period on start up where its vulnerable to projectiles. Thats why i was saying it might be one of the few moves in the game where its better vs slow projectiles.

I dunno if you can call that range inside the “guess” range. If you’re throwing fireballs at that close of a range that’s basically the “i want to use fireball as a poke” range. Which sets you up for Blanka’s buttons any way.

If you wanna throw fireballs at that inside range then that means you’re basically letting Blanka play footsies with your fireball. When that happens you then have to deal with things like…

His long ranged 8 frame sweep which Ryu can’t s.LK, sweep or even raw ex fireball punish on block at max range. Risk reward completely in Blanka’s favor here as he can fish for something that can CC any of your buttons and will guaranteed CC your fireball attempt. Giving him HKD and free safe jump/mix up. Unless you’re sitting on super (which probably won’t happen too often with Blanka’s offense) you’re going to have to stop throwing fireballs if you dont want to be put in a bad situation very soon.

c.HP which has slower start up, but also CC’s, is only minus 3 on block and pushes back on block.

EX command grab which is projectile invincible and can punish on reaction from that range.

Add in VT1 and then you’re dealing with projectile invincible blanka balls and his new ground shave rolling move that is also projectile invincible. Ground shave will hit you at that range on reaction and can juggle when held down.

Then add in all of his constant movement based shenanigans that punish you if you throw a fireball at all and it’s just going to be way too much for a Ryu player to control. You just wont be throwing many balls at a Blanka that understands their data. The random ones that dont care to learn the character you’ll get by, but i give it a few months before the people who still are using Blanka know their options and you can’t throw much any fireballs.

I’ll have to take a look at ex command grab as an option but you’re litterally describing every Ryu vs non fireball character match up in the game.

Pick a sweet spot between flailing crush counter and reactable fireball invincible move and play fireball footsies. The difference is Blankas jump is worse and his crush button to flail is gonna be slow or unsafe if blocked

Daemos · February 23, 2018, 1:18am

His first voice line is totally what Bison says during his Ultra 1 in SF4. He later does Bison’s Ultra 2. Pathetic! You’d think he learn to stop copying the master after all these years.

A10metal · February 23, 2018, 1:32am

Ewwww

Evil_Canadian · February 23, 2018, 1:41am

heidern owns

Ivy is cool although her outfit looks a bit off for some reason. I know its supposed to be an update of the sc1 look but it feels kinda ???

Heres hoping that she plays like sc1 sc2 ivy, instead of her ruined versions in sc3-4-5

amrraed · February 23, 2018, 2:29am

God bless you

Doctrine_Dark · February 23, 2018, 2:37am

Heidern is the shit. I’m a huge fan of Leona, but I miss seeing Heidern teamed up with Ralf and Clark

The original Ikari Warriors were always one of my favorite teams.

Trife88 · February 23, 2018, 3:38am

If the KOF game felt as GOOD as a SF game I would have played it…but that’s also not an excuse because nothing is stopping me from playing old KOF games that I liked

I’m not afraid to say I mainly play SFV because my two characters feel good and they look good…only thing that triggers me is the wishy washy netcode at times and I rather deal with that than play some bootleg Mugen lookin sprite anime game

Blanka sucks

Gamogo · February 23, 2018, 4:53am

Well, Blanka is certainly still Blanka. Christ this prick will forever be a chore to fight against.

Trife88 · February 23, 2018, 4:59am

Feels good CCin’ his command grab though
plus just blocking a few balls to push him closer to the corner which leads to easier punishes on reaction is fine with me…jump if you want I know I’m not

I’m going to hope by a week now people will have a better game plan when using him…his shit will not fly in this game so I bet he’ll have amazing VT comebacks

Not sure if Capcom is predictable or I’m just lucky but they really gave him a Sonic The Hedgehog like VT lol I like it…well how about this Capcom…

pls GIVE AKUMA AN ONI SKIN
Give Juri an Akira Rival Schools outfit!!!
Juri’s a biker…Akira’s a biker LETS GOOOOO
