It wouldn’t even be worth using double ultra if it decreased time though. It only lasts a few seconds right now. Less time wouldn’t even be worth it. That’s why I’m wondering if they’ll hit time or damage.
Full U1 lasts for like 15 seconds. That means it would last for 9 seconds in UW, which is more than enough time if you want to use it for a single combo, which I’m sure some people do. Probably not enough for a 4-bar, 3 fuhajin combo, but if you want to pull that stuff of in a match, you might as well go with solo U1.
SFxT top tiers aren’t in stone.

Also everyone agrees that Cammy and Akuma are the best characters in SF4. Fei and Adon are right behind, Seth and Sakura and Viper all make the top 10. The tiers are plenty defined in the upper levels for SF4. It’s only the mid and low levels where people have more trouble, but that is the same as SFxT.
Agreed that SFxT may be the boringest fighter to watch. However in playing it, characters don’t feel horribly neutered like quite a few do in SF4. Overall characters are stronger, and feel strong. It certainly has its faults but it feels a lot closer to 3s, ST, Alpha than SF4. It certainly is a much more honest game.
Look at the amt of complaining bout SF4, it dwarves any other fighting game. Every rage thread seems to be about this game, and it isn’t characters that are the most criticized (most fighting games will have one or a few that are complained about) it is the BS mechanics. Cause the mechanics are so fucked up, it is an incredibly frustrating game to play.
juri u1 doesnt add any damage so… doesnt really make sense to make all her normal attacks worth 60%, all it does is grant ability to chain combo… lol seems like it no matter how much extra damage you can get with a chain combo it still wouldnt be worth it so actually the time thing makes more sense
U1 isn’t even about combos its about the mixups/resets for lots of unscaled damage. The current 15 already goes really fast. Especially if you fuck up and get knocked down or hit with a super it ultra. At 9s might as well just go back to one ultra.
Myba it’s still worth it just to get access to U2 though? I have no idea since I don’t play her.
I play against a Juri player that has loads of mixups and resets with FSE and i’m literally scared shitless once i’m knocked down and he activates that Ultra. I’m no Juri player but i think reducing damage is the way to go with FSE.
Maybe because you hold forward on you stick/pad render yah ability not to block?
Any who when can we expect some videos of the Japan loc test on the 21? Would love to see some new ultras
I won’t be at a loctest until saturday at the earliest, Sunday definitely. It will be interesting to see what surfaces in terms of video/photos since there are clear prohibitions on both in place on Capcom’s info page.
I guess it will depend on individual game center owners/managers as to the extent to which this will be enforced. Probably be pretty hard in a packed venue, though
Yeah that’s what i was thinking, NO WAY Juri players would even have time for two nice combos, they still have to worry about opening them up.
Feng Shui Engine and Ultra 2 sound like a dirty combination… Hope to see it work out for you guys.
Curious, how badly is El Fuerte affected by the delay cahnges?
I thought it would be bad but iPeru doesn’t think delayed wakeup would hurt him much so I’m really confused.
Well, since loketests start tomorrow… it’s hard to say.
Meanwhile, I’m with iPeru on this one. People seem to forget just how adaptable Elf is as a character. Sure we all want to win and we all play to win but this Elf man plays to find new breaks, new openings, cause psychotic breaks in the opponent and get down with super dynamic cooking time.
Seriously, Elf needs to get a cameo on すすめ！キッチン戦隊クックルン. Maybe he could replace that goya hatin’ Sage. Just sayin…
If the game came out tomorrow, I think I would have no problem adapting, maybe a week or so to transfer over my meager skills. 6 months from now, though? By then I expect to be a bit more set in my habits. I won’t turn down the chance to play as more characters, though, even if I’m not particularly looking forward to any of the 4 who’ve been announced. Who knows, maybe I’ll find a grappler I can use in Hugo, kinda like how I just loved playing as King in SFxT.
Console release date is July 11th according to:
http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/25729s/epicbattlecry-skirmish--215---tony-rhymes-with-sony (at 7:00 minutes)
The release window is “july 11th-13th for north american consoles”
Why does that date sound familiar?
O right, that is LITERALLY the EXACT days that EVO2014 is being held. What happened to “BEFORE” evo?
You can probably buy the game on July 11th at 10 am and EVO starts at 11 am. 
marvel day 1, ultra day 2
dat 24 hour technology except for a few americans who flew to japan and all the japanaese players.
Spreading this around. The fuck at Elena’s overhead startup
finally some location test footage
