I’m not sure that if you press it during the animation that she shoots more servbots, i’m pretty sure that’s the case. I know i’ve seen it happen at least twice so far. I’d like to know a lil more about that too.
i’m probably going to drop her. her assist getting nerfed that badly plus j.H knocking the opponent too far to connect anything but drill (from what i’ve read) is a no go for me. its good that she can perhaps zone better with shooting more servebots at a time.
if anything i feel like she should have been beefed up so i could use her on point AND give her better zoning options, keep the gustaff flame assist the way it was and call it a day.
Bandit Boulder being cancellable makes me happy. Gustaff Flame nerf hurts, but I always liked her better on point, and being able to do OTG combos without the help of an assist makes her better at that.
Instead of getting assists to help her combos, get assists to help her get in and use her on point.
I wish. Cancelling a.H into air Drill rush off of a FF air dash instead of a :atk::atk: air dash can be such a pain (lingering inputs) Started working on a.HxDrill combos. They all seem to scale pretty hard.
I really hated the Gustaff Fire assist getting nerfed but oh well I’m still using it. It means that I have to be more careful when throwing it out to pressure or keep out opponents
After playing the Evo build the biggest thing I noticed that no one else has mentioned is that the hitbox on s.M is much smaller. Doesn’t have the phantom range like it does in vanilla. My bnb combos no longer work. Back to the lab once UMVC3 comes out I guess.
Bandit Boulder being cancelable sounds nice; it’s jump-cancelable, right? Could lead to some nice combo stuff.
And I’d be careful when dealing with rumors regarding speed of attacks (Servbot Launcher in the OP). The Comic-Con stream made everything look faster than it actually was because of the quality. It tricked the Hsien-Ko boards into thinking her normals and movement speed were buffed.
the j.H not only knocks the opponent back further, but it also hocks them upwards a little also. This makes hit confirming into c.L or s.M impossible - unless in corner HOWEVER due to the fact that the opponent is in the air longer after j.H makes hit confirming into drill even easier. So that’s awesome actually.
So, did anyone get to try out that new Servbot launcher? Seeing as she can fire off three of the little guys now, can you use different strengths to cover different ranges in the same salvo?
Hey folks, I demo’d Tron at the NYC fight club event seeing as how she’s my main and all…
Anyway, I’m rather heartbroken by the changes so far. j.H is nearly useless and her attacks off of j.S (previously my favorite move in the game) seem to prorate a hell of a lot more. My j.S bnb no longer worked because it made use of a drill. Another huge nerf is her trap laser does NOT work if you do a combo into OTG assist and fire a shot off. They simply get hit by the pellet and tech very quickly rather than getting trapped. This move is now 100% only for zoning, and it was always horrible at that. Folks were saying the shots got sped up but I really didn’t feel a difference in the starting animation. Maybe the bullet travels faster? I couldn’t tell.
Tron fire has zero invincibility whatsoever, but we knew that already. Servbot launcher still feels mediocre but its always nice to fire one while the opponent is coming in to keep them trapped. I’m not sure if you can shoot multiple shots.
Talked to NerdJosh a little bit about her and he feels that she honestly can’t do anything anymore.
is it just me, or are some characters getting hit hard with the Nerf bat that REALLY don’t deserve the nerf bat?
Tron and Haggar especially (Sent too, depending on your opinion of him). I’m hoping Capcom’s gonna come through with something amazing for these characters to totally make up for these nerfs but… I just don’t know
Yeah seriously, I honestly thought Tron and Haggar were perfectly fine in the first iteration. Tron is a flawed powerful rushdown+battery character with limited options, and she can be put third on a team just to use her powerful assist (which greatly limits her potential when she comes out though). Haggar was also powerful but much worse in combat than Tron, but I feel the tradeoff was that his assist is much better.
I always thought that’s what Capcom went for, but since they’re making these assists useless I’m not sure what they quite want from these characters. I’d be fine with the assist nerf if they at least buffed them on point or left them alone.
Maybe they think really high HP means a lot in this game? I really don’t know what’s going on with these two.
Haggars assist nerf is perfectly understandable IMO. Even with the damage it does to him, people could throw out the mayor all day just waiting for someone to fall into it since it gave a HARD knockdown, which we all know can easily lead to a characters death in this game. For a GTFO assist, that’s too good, making it a soft knockdown still allows it to be a good GTFO assist without being a crutch.
The same can be said of Trons assist, although it needed far less of a nerf due to it not getting a hard knockdown. Capcom went overboard on that assist, necessary nerf or not.
It’s their on point nerfs that are blowing my mind. The j.H tron nerf is completely contrary to how they wanted her to be in vanilla. Remember how Seth went into heavy detail regarding her s.H and j.H pre launch, and how integral it was to her game? Yeah, capcom just pulled a 180 with this nerf. The s.M nerf is further proof of that.
And the trap gun nerf is the stupidest nerf I’ve ever heard of. It was ONLY usable in combos because it’s one of the worst projectiles to ever zone with, and now it’s not even possible to combo into (according to furious liver). It makes 0 sense. Combine that all with her nigh useless command grab, and you have a character with only 1 good move, that still sucks because it murders her combo potential.
I know I sound negative, and I still hope capcom will come through with some REAL buffs (you don’t count servbot launcher), but right now, I have only the disappoints.
