I haven’t noticed the DP trading in the air at all, crosscut DP feels like it could be hurt but if you’re trading - your DP was late. I’ve yet to trade with an anti-air DP with my Juri, Akuma, Ryu and Ken.
I always treat her vtrigger like I’m playing sfxt. Buffer normals on normals in neutral.
Being able to do a 2 cr.lk blockstring confirm is nice. For example, something like cr.lk, cr.lk xx st.hp xx HK release. It’s not much damage but you aren’t wasting vtrigger meter since you can confirm it. Also now in season 2 you can cancel HK release into vskill to continue pressure.
Also I’m always looking for j.lk air to air. In season 1 I would do j.lk, j.mp into delayed j.hp. Then when you land throw fireball so your opponent wakes up into it and gives you nice meaty pressure. Haven’t had time to try any setups with the changed fireball in s2 yet.
Well you must be godlike at DPs because everyone in the Ken thread including the more high ranked ones are talking about their DPs getting stuffed (not trading, I wish it would trade, I could juggle some stuff). Not saying it happens all the time but it does from time to time.
might be inherent muscle memory doing the DP as deep as possible into the opponents jump so you catch both MP hits, I always performed my DP AAs as early as possible
He’s closest to a complete wall in this game. And 2 bar V trigger make his zoning absolutely monstrous for some of the cast who aren’t blessed with anti fireball tools, or rather, high quality ones.
UDK is completely nuts. Probably best anti throw tech move in the game. You can’t tech nor jab, if expecting a throw. Otherwise, you eating 230
Knee bazooka is a forward momentum move that is basically safe on block, and help keep charge. Nothing more to really say
Sobat kick having the hurt box pushed back helps IMMENSELY with his mid range game. Now, he have a forward ( and backward ) moving poke that is pretty challenging to contest.
Loops are still in with 2 bar V trigger.
This is probably the best he has ever been since SSF4. Guile is an easy contender for top 5.
I forgot about his 2bar VT, yikes. I just remember his close pressure getting worse but those are some nice changes. Maybe zoning will be alive and well if he can build a wall
Got connected to this douchebaggery laden lagfester from the UK with Akuma about 5 times in a row last night. I’m on the east coast. At one point he just mashes m.p … Another match he just RQd. I hope they work on the servers so me more. Smh
I keep saying this, but their has been a conspiracy to keep Vega bad since ST. Capcom will not let him be good anymore because of that game.
That and everyone seems to have this delusion that he is better than he is. Even in SF4 people hated Vega, even though he was consistently one of the worst characters in the game in every version.
