Balrog is far from a notably bad matchup. He’s 5.5 at the worst. Vega can keep him out all day and once he gets in, if you’re patient, it’s not like he’s a huge threat. What’s he gonna do? Tick throw like a shoto? Mixup those dash punches that you can see coming from a mile away?
Maybe it’s down to experience, but when I see a Balrog pop up on my screen, I smile.
the only real tool rog has to get in is that jumping (fierce or round house… dunno which one it is but it’s annoying) punch. sHK is usually my friend but the recovery on a whiff really sucks and that recovery is usually what enables me to have prime seating in the corner.
if it werent for that one jumping move rog would be free. Keeping him out would be easy unless you were to try to slide a TAP.
Hey guys. I broke my xbox’s ethernet port and also need to get a new fightpad and fightstick before I can start playing again - looking for jobs at the moment so I can afford it haha.
ANYWAY, sorry for not reading this entire thread but I noticed on the first page people were talking about Vega’s U2 in Super being 7 frames. That sounded wrong to me because I thought it was 8 frames, but I just tested meaty (not counterhit) cr.MK into U2 and 7 is right. The whole point of this post was supposed to be to correct that, but it’s too late to not post now, haha.
Overall I’m happy with the buffs. I got the bare minimum of most of my wishes. Safe SkyHigh on hit (still not very useful but that shit was previously the most blatant “FUCK YOU”), +1 better CosmicHeel, partially revived U2, the only thing I was hoping for was that +1 to dash which Vega never got. Oh, and invincibility on some of MK.ScarletTerror’s active frames of course.
Shit can’t you fix those ?
Usually replacing the faulty stuff in your Fightstick is pretty cheap.
As for an Ethernet female socket it is dirt cheap too and soldering it is shoolchildren level.
not american school childern… they’d burn the house down if given a chance
or burn themselves
or the kid sitting next to them, all the while thinking they are being cute/cool.
I think the tournament just started
That Vega just taught me two things! good shit!
me 2
he taught me that U2 still sucks
and he taught me that ST has no i frames.
he plays almost identical to AE
slide damage buff was the only real thing i noticed
We shall only hope for them to continue upgrading and balancing things out dude.
we should have our voices heard somehow before its too late.
ahhhh i made an error… this tourney isnt the new changes… the new changes are streamed after the tourney. this is regular AE
Shieeeet, I didn’t call a single one of those changes. Now, I really want a cancleable cr.hp.
Good job noticing the damage buff, then ;);),9;9;9);),)
it was a trick
and i fell for it
Clicked through all footage of the location test at the AE X SBO event, not one Claw recorded… Disappointing 
Thanks majin, I was going to do that but fell asleep seeing all the Ryu’s/Yangs/Yuns… :-/
This is not gonna be the last version of SSF4 i just know it… it will just be a new game with the name SSF5 but secretley it’s still just a SSF4 edition each new changes to how SF4 looks like is just a update on characeter changes they might add new characters but it would just be like DLC characters even tho your not downloading we’re still gonna pay a 60$ game with a couple of new charactyer with some character balancing again.
SF5 wont be released until next gen consoles
