Maybe I’m understimating Blade or overestimating the giants, but I can see Blade using the yoyo dash being a way to tell them “hey guys, kill me please.”
Not really. Maybe against Lightan who can spam jabs, but vs PTX I can see the C version of the dash getting him way over the other side of the screen where he can’t be reached easily. Yo-yo dash doesn’t have much recovery so he could get away before he gets hit. Basically, he just has to get in and start attacking the giant, and the moment they move and try to hit him, he uses the super armour pause to combo into yo-yo and dash behind them before their attack comes out.

I don’t think this was posted before. More Frank West footage.
this is probably old news, but i was playing ptx heavily at nyc fight club and noticed that many of his moves involving his shield auto-block now. for example you could shoulder charge through a hadouken and it would be blocked instead of doing damage. i also noticed this during a mirror match when we were both spamming 2a, i saw that i was auto-block the opponents 2a during the recovery animation of my 2a and vice-versa. i don’t know if everything is auto-blockable though i would guess that certain moves can break through it but i was mostly fighting a bunch of tekkaman blades that night so i didn’t get a chance to test it out against many other characters.
lol squirrel, youtube comments aren’t worth preaching against.
…
holy shit, this is awesome! D: hyperventillates That could end up being even too good…I hope Gold Lightan gets something similar or that just isn’t fair.
@wolfox: I know, but sometimes I can’t help myself. Some people are just too stupid to go uncorrected.
So PTX’s shields are finally working now eh? She could you use that help.
And yes, I said she - apparently PTX has a female personality… at least according to the onboard computer.
Oh, I did not notice that, yeah seems like throws will be more useful now if these kind of things can be done.
As for Capcom giving Zero too many things, yeah he does have many tools, but I’m not sure if all these tools won’t be used in a way to become too OMG unpredictable, his attacks aren’t as complex to figure out as other character like T.Blade or Ken for example, so I don’t think he will be a a pain in the ass to fight against, and if he ends up being overused Online, then he will be less surprising in the crazy combo department. But this is all a speculation based on videos, the game isn’t out yet so we just have to wait and see how good he is.
i gave that electro guy some thumbs down. what a silly character he is. lol.
anyways, if they did that, I think it would be a pretty enormous buff. I remember watching those nico vids recently posted. u could tell a lot of matches weren’t being played srsly or just had huge skill differences; i.e. tekkaman jump into ryu’s tetsumaki super. but noticing lightan getting hurt when he’d punch a projectile, to me, made it kinda balanced. how else r u gonna beat them without either long distance attacks, specific assists for closer hits, and clock-running? i think it would make them pretty fuckin dangerous.
You get in close to them and do a combo on their super armour, then when they move to try to hit you, you baroque and block it. You just got chip damage from that attack so you can continue the same strategy.
Most characters can use this strategy to do some hefty damage to giants even if they lack a projectile. Also, you can always just save up for a level 3. Giants are fragile (they only have 1 life bar) and cannot afford to be hit by a level 3 super.
Also lol at PTX being a female. I’m still going to refer to it as male.
Anyway, if it’s true that PTX’s shields now work the way I think they do, this is a HUGE buff. Probably one of the most significant improvements for PTX so far. This means that PTX can now use riot tackle to close in on projectile spammers without even having to worry about using baroque to make it safe. It also makes 2A poking safe against Karas and Tekkaman chains.
Wow. If lightan get’s nothing I’m going to be pissed.
If Mega gets nothing, I’m going to be extremely pissed.
I wish I could be excite. But I’m not. >:
Well some people said that gold Lightan gets more life.
He already had the most life in the game to begin with. If they give him another 30000bil hp or something, I can see him having the durability to afford to be able to just barge in on spammers.
He did get a little more life, and he also has new tools. Dropkick is totally nuts now, and B chop causes freefall.
I like how dropkick goes across the stage, but it won’t necessarily do any better to save him from Tekkaman diagonal lariat spam, unless he can attack the lariat with his foot.
Gold chop causing freefall is nice, but what can he do with it? PTX at least has OTG hitting moves that he can make use of when he lands a knockdown move.
It would be nice if Gold Stomp hit otg now.
Freefall is gdlk, no matter what. He will be able to use that, especially in this game, I’m sure there’s shenanigans to be had there.
OTG Gold Stomp would be the single best buff that you could give a giant when he has a move that causes free fall.
Shit would be off the chain really. He wouldnt need a shit load of buffs like what PTX is getting.
Well it would give him an answer to PTX’s OTG 2C nonsense.
PTX got bunch of new freefall moves. B version Chainsaw and 6B4B now cause freefall.
I hope they didn’t nerf the missiles any more though.
What’s this about ptx getting auto-block? Not sure if it’ll be bad or good, but why is ptx getting so buffed up!?
We already knew lightan’s chop causes freefall/knockdown, but I don’t really see it being all that useful. I’m sure you can 2B, 5C, 41236+B, bbq, 5B, 2B, 4B the same way you would in CGOH.
The dropkick buff does seem useful though. Punish full screen spammers should be possible, but we’ll see how it plays out.
In addition to otg gold stomp, the initial stomp should also be an overhead!
I’m falling in love with PTX, but he doesn’t seem to need all these damn buffs.
Autoblocking shield will benefit him VERY much. Riot Tackle will probably charge right through everything now.
Other question: “Baroques are less potent”. What would you mean by this?
Probably means that the damage boost have been reduced.
idk. ridiculous comebacks are lulz.
