Sorry I had to lol.<div><br></div><div>I suppose it could have been a lot worse.  Still that’s pretty messed up, hopefully a fix can be made soon. Best to find things like this now rather than during a major.</div>

Well Winterbrawl is this weekend lol.<br><br>I wonder if anyone is going to attempt to utilize this.<br>Maybe not it tournament, but it would be cool to see it in casuals at least lol.<br>

<font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>Since you’re bent on reviving the cvs2 tier list you might as well do Bison and Sakura next. Not together anyway. Bryan and Ibuki also seem like interesting choices.</span></font>

Ibuki has already been on my to-do list for a bit so I’ll def invest some time after Hugo x Blanka.

If it gets popular, the tech will be removed, unless they want this game to become as fraudulent as Marvel. Interesting, but not relevant to the character for the same reason I didn’t factor Lei’s palm loop into his tier placement.<br><br>Bryan isn’t even bad; I can’t tell you why people are talking Blanka up and suggesting Bryan for this instead. At least Bryan can be a zoner. <br><br>Then again, I can tell you the mentality of this community right now: do as your neighbor does, say as your neighbor says, think as your neighbor thinks. Air tatsu, Hugo, and other hyped-up crap distracted people from good characters such as Sagat and Bob, plus the tournament play/commentary for this game became a colossal joke because of the bad PR.<br>

Jibbo: how populated is online for this game in Japan? (if you tried it)<br>

<p>And this weeks worst characters are!.. obvious drum roll…  Blanka x Hugo!</p><p>I’ll be pumping out videos on my youtube channel this week starting with the characters individual move set and strategy, then combining team with strategy.</p><p>Hopefully this is the start of an on going series that everyone will grow from, myself included.</p>

Looking forward to this content!:smiley:

It will also be a major plus if there will be actual matches involved. :)<br>

Ugh, Jibbo, get over yourself man. There is no ‘mentality of this community’. People will always say characters are bad, just like people will always say characters are too good. Always has been the way, always will be. There’s nothing wrong with it.

Just because something “always happens” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work to change it, nor that its okay. If nothing else, it could help others think outside the box a bit more, especially in a game this young.

Sounds to me like he’s doing it to provoke discussion and for fun anyway.

To put yourself on a pedestal and say that you don’t share some negative mentality affecting the whole community is incredibly patronising and just a little bit too smug for me, sorry.

Hey man, it’s just advice… :)</p><p>I should have the first Hugo tech video out tomorrow.  Sorry for the slight delay</p>

Wouldn’t it be better though to try to find tech with bad characters using different partners, as opposed to figuring out stuff with teams that consist of bad characters?  In reality people are more likely to pair up someone like Hugo with a character they actually like.  If the tech that is discovered is exclusive to Hugo/Blanka, then at the end of the day it won’t really that useful.<br><br>

@illitrit - I can’t speak for his reasoning, but IMO it’s probably better to team two bad characters up for a couple of reasons…  In one sense, if he teams a bad character up with a character he’s already well-versed with or is deemed “good”, it’ll take away from the point of the exercise since technically he’s still using a good character that could shore up the other’s weaknesses.  If he’s using two bad characters, he’ll be forced to find things that work for both of them, while learning/showing what each character does well.<div><br></div><div>On the other hand, it also eliminates the argument of “durrrr that only works because you teamed Hugo up with Jin” and such.</div><div><br></div><div>It works better this way too, in the sense that a lot of these characters are just simply unexplored; in this way he’s helping to explore them (whether he finds something crazy or not) to at least a basic extent; it’ll be up to the people really interested in maining those characters long-term and the rest of community to run with it and test them with their own team ideas.</div><div><br></div><div>Might be totally wrong on all of that of course.</div>

As dumb as this sounds, thank you. As a dedicated blanka player I can possibly learn alot from this. Im not sure if there is more then I currently know but it is always good to see good players using blanka for once.

<font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>Jibbo please play Balrog. I don’t know how bad he is but thats because literally nobody uses him. Definitely would be entertaining watching somebody play him. </span></font>

Can’t wait to see some Hugo!<br>

Hugo controls the ground with his command grab and overhead normal as well as a few others. hugos weakness is the air. So you look at who has better air to air? Blanka is easily the better air to air player. He has a counter hit groundbounce air tp air move, his ex upball swallows alot of moves, his ex.rainbow ball gets you out of corners and you can control its path, perfect for mix ups and chip damage. Then you have jin with his air kick. Blanka is better for teammate purposes with hugo.
