I wonder if they nerfed Juri jHP hitbox since it won’t knockdown anymore
That shit has twice a better hitbox than Sakura jHP at the moment. It trades with most DP even.
I just typed an entire rebuttal to this, then i looked up the changes which were posted AFTER my last post. I will return and decide whether or not the rebuttal should be posted after i get through these chages,
I think you’re committing to a weird interpretation of that quote. In my opinion, he’s obviously saying that there isn’t going to be some early animation cue that will let someone go into Set Up Number 2 as soon as the opponent gets knocked down. They’ve explicitly said that they’re trying to add a wake-up animation that you will be able to react to, you just won’t be able to react early enough to do a 60-frame long unblockable/safejump/whatever set-up. It’s a nerf to long set-ups, not simple pressure like meaties or conventional wake-up pressure. Against characters that aren’t set-up heavy, I doubt you’ll even see someone do a delayed stand-up, since all you’re doing is giving them extra time to close the gap, possibly set up a cross-up on characters you can do that with, and push their body to the corner if they want. It’s not like people intentionally don’t quick rise a ton in normal matches where they aren’t the victim of set-ups: it’s pretty much agreed that barring unusual circumstances, you always want to quick rise.
At the same time, they appear to be promoting offense with character changes: Chun’s faster jump and higher damage, Ken, Hawk and Guy’s faster walkspeeds, Sagat’s EX knee being +0 on block. I think you’re overstating the effect these changes to hard knockdowns will have on the game outside of hard knockdown oriented set-up characters.
No, delayed stand can only be done after a hard knockdown. You’ll never have to simultaneously consider quick stand and delayed stand.
Thing is Poison knows what a hit to that area feels like. Just seems so wrong for a dude to do that to another dude. However shouldn’t there be a damage decrease if you do it to a woman?
Im not going to explain the whole story, but when i was a freshman in high school, I was witness to an incident where one of my female friends was hit in the vajra with a guitar hero controller. It floored her for a few minutes.
Also its more a result of how many nerve endings both genders are packing down there. Not really which part you have.
What about the squishiness factor though? I mean if Makoto hits you with her U1, a male groin is going to be mush. Yeah female genitalia is extremely sensitive too, but it isn’t getting crushed/squished in the process of the hit.
We’re getting far deep into this, but I believe a punch the strenght of Makoto’s one aimed there would probably cause some internal damage.
In short, Makoto and Poison hurt and don’t like you.
I think poisons groin kick should send the opponent into the sky. The kick itself should have this really played up wind up like the criminal upper in Cody’s U1
