I wonder if they also buff Lightan.
Giving him a low would be a welcome thing for sure. I hope that they do since we can pretty much definitively say at this point that he’s the weaker of the two, and from what I hear, PTX is getting buffed. He’s always been my favorite of the two though. Waffle bot FTW!
A low on it’s own wouldn’t be of that much use for Lighty. He needs a good overhead to go with it. (he probably has some of those)
2B should be a low, like PTX. He also needs his dash to be made safer somehow. Make him able to block during it or something. Anything to help him get past lariat spam.
As for the riot A tackle, it just seemed to send Ken further than usual. Try it with old PTX in the japanese version. If you do 3C and combo into A version riot tackle, they won’t go the distance of the whole screen.
The PTX in that new vid definitely wasn’t using B version either. It didn’t go far enough.
I also like how PTX’s chainsaw super seems to be an overhead now, and deals around half a Karas lifebar worth of damage. It’s still unsafe as hell on hit, so you’d better use it only if you know it’ll ko the opponent, but now that it’s so much more powerful, It’s going to be doing that more often.
Dash is w/e, just don’t use it against someone who can lariat, jumps are safe as hell.
As for the overhead, he’s actually got a few. I forget which ones off the top of my head cuz it doesn’t matter since everybody just blocks high, but I know there’s like 3.
So, yourmother told me to post, so…here I am! 
I heard that something happened to Karas and that he’s not quite as good in the US release. Is that true?
Why yes, that is true. haha
Actually we can’t be totally sure yet, but from the looks of it, he has at least 1 significant nerf. His “instant-anti-everything” sword spin got nerfed, as now it starts behind him and then moves forwards in front of him, rather than just appearing instantly in front of him. This should somewhat limit its usefulness as a counter (especially on reaction) since it should take a few more frames to become active.
This is really cool news.
In other news, I sincerely hope the new characters aren’t totally lame, like Chris Redfield or some shit.
See in my eyes any RE character would be fine so long as you could still hit a human zombie in the head with a zombie crow…
I think that Chris Redfield wouldn’t be a ‘summon’ character like Jill was. After all, RE5 Chris is the one who’s popular right now. And he’s all about punching boulders. RE5 also had mind control parasites instead of zombies.
Though, the satallite gun would be the coolest level 3 ever.
take away his ability to cancel into slide from the charge…on hit or block and that would take away the infinite
I’ve always wondered why they decided to do this. It’s become a completely integral part of his gameplay though not just in the infinite but in all his pressure strings too. It’s almost like they wanted him to be able to infinite with that, it’s just too obvious that it was going to be an infinite IMO.
he’s got a point there
Chun’s lvl 3 always combo’d like that …at least air LL her best move looks the same. Bet they took away her infinite though : / less hitstun on st. LL would really hurt her as her bnb dmg would go down quite a bit and no infinite : /.
she probably still has her jump C infinite anyways
that’s a bit drastic. They don’t even need to remove his ability to cancel into slide, they just have to decrease the aerial stun time of the slide or something.
will this game ever be released for the ps3?
I guess somebody has to ask this every few days or so…
They have no plans to release it on either the PS3 or 360. This is mostly because the original arcade hardware was essentially a wii, making ports way easier. Seth Killian said that if there was a ton of interest then maybe they would consider porting it, but don’t hold your breath.
anybody know the release date ?
Winter 2009
now they’re saying january
