Right you are. I shouldn’t get worried until release. As long as he has his mobility and disjointed hitboxes, he’ll still be a decent character.
This is stupid.
What’s the point of taking away the shippuga loop? If I don’t do the loop as combo starter I will add more hits later on in the combo. With Zero it will ALWAYS be possible to reach the hit stun decay limit.
They’re just taking away something that contributes in making Zero’s combos unique and interesting.
I don’t even care if Ultimate Zero is going to be a little bit stronger or weaker, I just want to play an entertaining and unusual character.
Goooooooooooooooood stuff. I’m not too sure what to think of the Shippuga loop being taken out, I’ll believe it when I see actual footage. (And me testing it next week)
Some new Zero tech discovered. Cancel Raikousen with Buster before the lightning appears on screen
I saw that too. That was sick. If that’s still in the final build then that will open up some awesome combo and lockdown potential.
Maybe we can do s, j.m, j.m, Raikousen L xx Buster, Raikousen L again, land, …
I personally think they’ll omit that from the final build of the game.
His j.2H, j.H still works but the timing’s a bit off now. But it defo works. To get a rough idea of what I meant by “it pushes them out”, try the combo right now against Tron you’ll notice the upper half of her body gets pushed far back. Well now, small characters are like that and larger characters get pushed out even further.
Shippuga may still be possible but I don’t think 3 loops will, he definitely crosses underneath EVERYONE on the 2nd rep though.
Also cos of the hit-stun deterioration after a j.Z-Buster hit-confirm into L Raikousen, he can only go for 1 rep of jump loop, not 2. Though this needs to be re-tested after NYCC with a L Tele instead of Raikousen.
Good stuff! I am glad to know they didn’t completely fu** his BnB’s.
Could probably fix the j.2H, j.H combo by jumping forward instead of neutral jumping like most people do. That’s what I do on Sent and Tron anyway.
Also, the Shippuga loop can be linked with both standing L and crouching L, so one might work if the other doesn’t, not sure. I couldn’t imagine why they would remove it though, but it’s not essential to getting big damage with Zero.
Shippuga assist also no longer causes soft knockdown
After playing UMvC3 at eurogamer I can confirm that zero can now OTG without an assist using OTG dive cancel into buster.
^ Awesome find! Dunno why I didn’t think of cancelling the dive. Sick!
gdlk. Man I can’t wait for Ultimate now…
I was going to make another combo video just abusing everything in vanilla before Ultimate came out, but now I think I’ll wait and just try to make something fancy in Ultimate.
AWWW YEAH!!!
When theory becomes reality I get all warm and fuzzy inside.
also.
The buster out of lighting dash will likely let you get 3 raikousens on each assist extender. TK L raikousen->L/M raikousen buster cancel->L raikousen->TK H Sentsuizan. Lol Zero
Thanks for that!
Now people already confirmed the two technologies was going to try first…
one was the if the raikousen canceled into buster would still make the lightning (confirmed in the video posted these days), the other one was this you just confirmed…
This is awesome but a little scary. I wonder what Zero is going to be capable of with all these new little techs. So far it all seems like little upgrades but I can already see something being broken haha.
Good for us though 
hopefully not too many bandwagoners jump on board 
I hope if anyone else finds any nice Zero cheese like that lightning > buster thing, they keep quiet about it till after release. As far as j.H push out… I get the feeling he’s still gonna have much better combos than the jump loop now, although I imagine it’s still possible anyway.
Air M command dash > buster cross up > L lightning dive cross up is gonna be really hard to block if it works I bet. Also H lightning canceled into buster is going to cover so much territory, it’ll be nice vs run away people like phoenix. Get that soft knock down without the risk of whiffed H lightning… can’t wait.
in the beggining of fight, charge buster before it starts while walking back, then jump + proj/beam assist, M lightdash into buster into command dash will be bananas…
I’d like to check if is possible to do launcher, MM L lightdash canceled into buster (buster hits and then the lightning bolt hits) into another lightdash (L or M) into relaunch… if possible, will be insane…
Can’t wait to hit training mode with Ultimate Zero
