I found a video shows that it does work but it’s not really worth it IMO
Is it me or did the c.mk xx hk pw FADC > cl.mp xx store > U2 midscreen got easier ? The U2 hitbox buff probably made it easier, maybe it’s possible to do that combo on others chars. Did you guys tried on the rest of the cast ? I only got successful with Decapre and Hugo
Doing any combo relating to U2 just seems easier now. Also regarding elena doing anything against her is annoying. Idk how many times iv gone for cr.lk st.lp.st.mp xx Pinwheel and had the st.lp whiff against her. It sucks cause i end up going kind of flow chart against elena since so many things whiff against her so i end up just going for really safe minimalist block strings/combos. causes me to lose games sometimes cause im afraid to do anything so i miss opportunities.
I’d like to know the real frame data on cl.s.Mk because its not throw invincible first frame then airborne like the patch notes said. I get thrown out of it a lot. Maybe they also changed the duration of the airborne frames?
I would like to know as well i’m tired of being thrown out of a move that’s suppose to be unthrowable.
Edit: The move can be thrown now it’s only unthrowable frames 1-5 , it’s 6 frame startup. So it’s really easy to be grabbed by a EX Command grab.
Ok maybe its just me, but obviously Zangief has gotten much stronger. Im having a hard time approaching him in our matches now. For the most part a lot of players are a lot more aggressive and dont give me much time to think and once gief is in its like a “Fuck you im doing whatever i want” fest. I use to be able to start off with f.s.hp but even thats not that safe now thanks to his walkspeed and s.mk has been grabbed…a lot.
Ex Pinwheel should now be used as Juri’s primary anti air for pesky jump attacks. Honda jump strong, Bison jump fierce, Blanka jump Hard kick/Hard Punch. Beats them all clean every time.
Or you know. The crouch strong and fierce which beats 90% of all air normals in the first place because of their range and angles.
Don’t abuse the EX pinwheel too hard or they’ll take it away.
Why are you approaching Zangief anyway? Fuhajin’s and stand far medium kick. He cant win
But what happens if I wanna go in on gief?
Then you probably like losing because he will chew you up close range when you advance. You jump or divekick, he does lariat. It will always at least trade. You get outpoked up close, green hand combos. Drop a link? SPD city.
You can occasionally catch a cross up opporunity off a knock down but boy you better hope he didnt block.
Valid points be valid.
