I was trying to find information regarding a situation and found something which I’m still not sure of. Is it true that specials done as a reversal attack gain armor breaking properties in Street Fighter 4?
Yup, that is correct.
Thank you Mandel. :tup:
Would that mean even a fireball done as a reversal would armor break if someone knocked you down and then charged a focus from across the screen?
I did NOT know that reversals armor break, holy crap that explains a LOT.
MAN Capcom listened to the scrubs who hated getting raped for waking up from older SF games…
that also means that focus attack wouldn’t be super powerfull to use for wake up either espcially for cammy since her armor breaking attack is spinning knuckle…
It’s late at night so I am confused, do you mean that Focus attack doesn’t work on her waking up, or that she can’t wakeup and focus? Hecka tired right now.
I can’t believe I’ve never even tried to Focus wake up before. It seems smart. I guess it’s an entire 10 or so years of playing SF without focus that makes me not use it LOL
edit: Also, I’m seeing too much green under your Locations. You guys all need to get PS3’s!!!
And, I just watched my friend play an hour of Fallout 3. That is the most visually amazing game I’ve ever seen. It’s too much for words.
Will it be just as easy of a mod?(sorry for being offtopic) Never really modded a stick.
I didn’t know that either, shit. I’ve seen it happen with non armor breaking moves and didn’t think twice about it.
check it:
If capcom didn’t give reversals armor breaking properties, then Focus attacks would be too powerfull against certain characters like cammy and rose and chun-li if she doesn’t have bar.
This is what would happen to Cammy if reversals didn’t have armor breaking properties
Cammy’s armor breaking move is spinning knuckle, and that shit has hella start up. So once someone scored a knockdown on Cammy she’d have no choice but to eat a lv3 FA as she got up, with no chance to escape (unless she had an ultra or super).
still with me?
Here’s with what’s in the game now
You knockdown Cammy and wind up a FA, as she gets up she does a reversal Cannon Spike and breaks your armor even though it’s not an armor breaking move.
I got you now. I just had a fun ass session with Wenzel, I have no idea how Mandel and Mike played that many games in a row, we played 16 games and I am freaking beat…
nolan and I played around 50-60 that night as well
WTF, I typed Wenzel but I was actually playing landersauce. I’m super groggy, GGPO.
I learned to absorb fireballs and then dash forward. This may or may not help Gief.
I heard Nolan’s Sakura is an issue now. WTFUGGG happened to C Vapor?!
Sakura sucks, tell him to go back to C. Vapor. Sakura is hella gimmicky and has shitty anti-air.
In other news, this game is fucking LAGGY AS SHIT. No matter what. I fucking only play 3, preferably 4 or 5 bar connections and the shit still gets the nastiest fucking lag spikes. I hate it. Why won’t anyone invite me to play except when I’m on HDR?
I really hate that command throw when they’re waking up is a viable option in this game. If you tick throw me, sure, I’ll take it, but I fucking hate getting SPD’d, him doing a green hand, and then just SPDing me again.
I really like Sakura and her fun combos but it annoys me to no end when my 10-hit does as much as one of Sagat’s 2-3 hits. Also I hear she’s bottom tier now, worse than Vega?
I dunno, I think Sakura’s good. I think her and Cammy are the best console characters by far right now. The jury’s still out on Gen but I can see him being up there after a while. Sakura’s got some good shit. Ex uppercut is good, kinda like a bootleg ex messiah/hamburger kick, ex kick dp thing is good too punishes fireballs and is safe on block, easy to juggle ultra, she stuns quickly, has mixups after ex hurricane kick, etc.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
EDIT-Out of all the posts people make concerning their issues with the game, Elias’ posts are by far the most amusing/entertaining. I’m not too sure why but I laugh everytime he gets mad at the game.
Sakura’s EX kick DP move beats out Bison’s EX headstomp, so she is automatically good for that. And Nolan showed me some sick mixups and IMO the only true marvel-style Reset I have seen in the game so far. Pretty ill.
I think it goes Cammy>Gen/Sakura for console characters.
then …>Rose. DAMN she SUCKS SO BAD, I seriously was looking forward to using her but Capcom decided to make her worse than Cammy is in regular ST, and that is BAD. She’s even worse than Fei Long in HDR, I mean she seriously has NO redeaming qualities.
Rose is still fun to play at least.
I’d say Cammy seems to be the best console character so far, unless you count Gouken.
Fei Long seems pretty decent, except that he doesn’t do alot of damage which makes me sad. His mix ups are pretty funny.
I played a dude who did nothing but runaway with Dan, it was amazingly effective.
