Yeah there’s no way a fucking motorcycle can’t OTG. Gotta run over bicches.
I want Iron man changes. Any info on that?
Any Changes to Thor?
Is it me or is Ryu now a more powerful wizard than Dr Strange? The list of buffs for him goes:
-A new Hadoken that travels instantly and wallbounces, but must be charged (qcf.S)
-A new SRK, Hadoshoryuken; not much is known about the attack (dp.S)
-He can cancel his dashes and wave dash now, and his dashes are farther
-He can cancel his overhead into launcher or specials
-He can cancel Tatsumaki Senpukyaku into other specials
-He has a hyper that buffs his other two hypers; this makes Shinkuu Hadoken ricochet off of walls, and Shinkuu Tatsu now creates a whirlwind that covers most of the screen; some believe it also buffs him in other, more passive ways
-With X-Factor being viable in the air, Ryu can now double up on Shinkuu Hadokens in his standard bnbs
What exactly is the story behind all his buffs? Is it the result of staying too long under that waterfall?
His mightiness has been significantly increased since Vanilla
Someone said he had a mighty speech assist but I doubt that. It would be amazing to have Thor show up and start encouraging your point character to bring glory to Valhalla on behalf of the Odinson
Honestly I hope they just improve his normals more than anything else
Strider takes super bitch damage, I think he’s fine where he is. It’s not like we’ve had time with the character to make a judgment.
Wolverine was definitely overnerfed. I hate the character but I still feel bad that it looks like he’s been made mostly useless.
Zero nerf to buster kinda sucks for certain combos but it’s not the end of the world, he’ll still be strong as long as he has his loops and pokes.
Dormmamu flame carpet knocking away annoys me a bit, that was pretty important for combos… but maybe if you put an assist with a lot of hits (like jam session) on top of them, it won’t matter.
I have a feeling Rider and Firebrand are going to be really good. Riders pokes… wow.
X factor in the air is a significant buff to Ammy and Ryu… think about it.
How low did Strider’s health feel to you guys? I mean what exactly is super bitch damage?
Strider’s weren’t getting hit that often on stream.
I am curious to see how Ghost Rider’s motorcylce interacts with She Hulk’s long range Sunday Driver.
Traffic accident?
rofl, did you seriously copy my list straight from GFAQs?
Are there any match videos that show this happening? Need it for the Dorm forum.
no, wolv was nerfed just fine, people who actually played with him properly will still prosper if they choose to continue using him… other people that just mash with him will always get that swiss cheese move then get punished which is going to be music to my eyes.
On the part about the flame carpet knocking away. You can look at that as a bad thing or a good thing, bad for midscreen combo extentions but in the corner it should work still unless for some reason it bounces them too high to continue. But if you look at it in a good way, people that play dormamuu as a zoner, flame carpet is actually a buff pushing them away.
And as far as x-factor in the air, I was thinking about it for characters I use such as storm and doom. Like I’m wonderin if you can hailstorm, x-factor drop down before the hail is over then double hail storm. Or doom comboing into the air with his finger lazers x-factor into another finger lazers or hell finger lazers x-factor then continue comboing… not sure if that would be possible but time will tell.
It’s not even like Ryu got a ton of tournament play outside of Chris G. I think Capcom just feared he was too “ordinary guy” and wanted to make sure there was a reason to use him over akuma. The way it’s sounding he could end up being better than akuma at this rate. Having cancellable dashes is a huge buff. You’re actually gonna have to worry about him when he gets close. Technically he could cancel his dash in vanilla but the the frames you had to do it were so late in the dash that he might as well not have been able to.
So many under the radar characters with potential like X-23, Jill, Morrigan, Felicia, Iron Man etc are going to blow through the roof in Ultimate. If they got nothing but buffs look forward to them eventually doing some serious shit in tourneys from a good player.
Wolverine will be fine as long as he’s viable with more work than face rolling on the stick.
If only Doom got the cancellable dash from normal’s treatment. All he needs in my opinion.
It’s not too late though, there’s still going to be development and changes before the release which is why I’m taking Tron’s j.H knockback change with a grain of salt.
The cancellable dash from normals treatment would basically make Doom OP. Capcom isn’t going to allow him to tick throw and counter hit all day and be able to dash through advance guards. That would make him way too good. I really like his ability to dash through normals but if they were to give him the ability to cancel his dash into normals they’d have to then take away his ability to dash through advance guards or he would be able to completely kill advance guard without assist and be pretty much the easiest character in the game to play. You have to have assists covering him to keep his offense going or at least have XF gimmicks backing him up if he’s by himself.
Yes I did, sorry for that. But yeah you get the idea, something is wrong with the amount of buffs they are giving Ryu. No matter how bad you think Ryu is previously there’s no way you could have put him lower than mid tier, and now they are giving him buffs they should have given Hsien Ko.
A lot of the nerfs sound really shitty thus far.
I’m just going on reports from this thread mostly. Only does that when OTGing it sounds like.
I mean… flame carpet > assist usually pushed them out enough for zoning anyway and also lead to mixups. Flame carpet was +2 on block so it actually let you continue offense in some situations.
It’s not the end of the world but I never really had problems keeping people away from me anyway. I liked carpet resulting in combos more than I did for it pushing people out.
well, the air xfactor is a buff in and of itself for sent. that’s a lot of hard drives, and apparently it resets you in the air, so you can refly with it, go for the flight magic into hard drive or whatever. and let’s not forget he had a semi-infinite with it in vanilla MVC3. the fact that xfactor is in the air now buffs just about everybody.
I think it’s still good if you’re using it offensively. I think it only pushes away when used for OTG.
Ryu is awesome. Anything that makes Ryu more awesome is a good thing.
