Yeah, especially since a good beam super or Bionic Lancer can either one-shot you or take you down to at least 75% even.
I’m not sure if I like that. If you’re able to land a good combo in your powered up state, not only are your combos gonna get that boost, when it goes out, you’ve probably built enough meter to make up for it.
You sure about this? I haven’t seen Hsien-Ko’s Rimoukon in action and knowing Capcom it probably drains my meter instead.
Wait if you can build meter during sougenmu, doesn’t that mean the lightning loop will now be an infinite?
Oh, dear lord, I hope not.
Edit: Although, they could increase the hitstun on it.
Noob wasn’t quite the word I was looking for… Throwing out random :h:'s to see hit confirms is one thing, pinning someone down with an assist, combined with that ground :h:, his airs normals, and his clone hyper is another. The precision required to open up with Zero is a matter of it happening, whereas the precision required to open up with Magneto is hoping you don’t whiff with the wrong input on those memory reflex requiring links. If you’re feeling the need to get more creative with Zero for definitive openings once you get some pressure going then, yeah, you’re going past the effort Magneto takes, but if we’re talking players picking up a character and getting an easy-in then Zero is by far the choice over Magneto or Dante.
P.S. I’d rather not discuss Wolverine… Ever… We all know he’s too fast for his own good with obnoxious hit boxes, so there’s no reason to bring him up.
They could do something like 1/2 meter gain, it would be fair if they want to make Dante mostly a Devil Trigger based character.
Lol @ building meter in Berserker Charge.
Oh, god, no. NO. NOOOOOOOOOO.
Yeaaaaah, that seems cool. Reduce the meter gain for powered up forms seems fair enough, IMO.
He lost his best friend, let the guy get some candy 
Brokumaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
That’s the thing though, Zero has to get a lot more creative to open people up. J.H is good but against people who know not to challenge it and pushblock or just mash on an invincibile assist, you gotta stop herp derping and start getting more creative than J.H and hoping it hits. Imo, Zero is the hardest of the top guys to open people who know how to block and who know not to try poking him.
Last time I got a clean hit with J.H on a competent player, it was because the first hit was a non crossup and the second hit was a crossup. To open people up with Zero, I gotta get creative and do shit like crossup/non crossup lightning dive, fake overhead into instant low, assist+hienkyaku or resort to unblockables.
With Dante/Wesker/Magneto I do the same shit all the time and it hits.
Dante blabla drones>Teleport>4 mixups
Wesker= Same but with a command grab
Magneto= generic lock down assist>Tri dash up down x 2>over head, low, grab.
J.H is dumb but at one point, you stop opening people up with it.
If this is true, Dante and Zero will be the most broken characters in ultimate. Like not even joking. Having constant access to Psycho Crusher and Sougenmu while building meter will break this game. This change isn’t even funny
I don’t understand why they nerfed Akuma. They made his assist worse, great. Then they made him worse as a character. Not great.
Counterpicks like Ammy got nerfed hard too. Stuff like that also plays a role in tier rankings. When you add that to the fact that we have X-Factor air cancels Akuma can link at least three beams together easily.
He is just fine.
Oh dear lord. Capcom would have to be stupid to let Zero build meter during his power up hyper.
Wish I could say the same thing about Tron. ;__;
1 button teleports being taken away would be nice. Samurai Edge is fine otherwise.
They should make Akuma a much better point character, to reflect his “low health=gdlk” status and his lack of assist now. Things like, an airdash, faster teleport, ability to block after throwing air fireballs (deadpool needs this too for his ninja gifts) Ryu-like air L tatsu, etc…
WHY THE FUCK IS WESKERS GUN SO FUCKING OVERPOWERED THAT SHIT HAS LIKE NO STARTUP AND HE GETS A FREE TELEPORT AFTER IT AND U CANT FUCKING SEE IT WHAT THE FUCK AND U CAN GET A FULL COMBO OFF OF IT FROM FULLSCREEN
/rant
He can demon flip outta the air now…
Really? OMG, it’s just getting dumb now…
15 frame startup for a projectile that you can’t see, travels across the screen in an instant, and you can combo off of? That’s pretty much nothing.
