Yeah her ‘command grab’ was more like a parry bait grab. Same with alex’s headbutt. Except you couldn’t really combo alex’s b+hp headbutt like you could ibuki’s throw. Shit was raw as hell because when you got a knockdown in 3s you could dash over them 1 -3 times and just do raw command grab and it would hella catch people off guard.
Things that will be raw as fuck if left intact:
f.mk overhead - it target combos out of b.mk, can be combo’d off (deep overhead, low short xx ex spin kicks); quick, hops over lows… jesus christ
stand jab pressure on larger characters omg please don’t give it as much frame advantage as 3s… without parries this could make for some broken matchups if not balanced right
s.hk or c.hk-s.hk target combo - sets up juggles, resets into 50/50s way better than sakura’s bs
hell, dudley and ibuki’s target combos in general will be buff… dudley’s got low target combos, overhead target combos, frame advantage target combos…
EDIT: lol munky only plays abel because he’s like makoto lite… hell I think most abel players are big fans of makoto
omfg what if she can use hayate cancel like fierce feint fierce? karakusa, hp xx hayate feint, c.mp hayate… or hp xx hayate feint, sweep for untechable knockdown… jump in with fierce, axe kick for a delayed high with frame advantage if they even block, or empty jump low short hayate into karakusa mixups… FUUUUUCK makoto is going to be rape without being able to parry out of her mixups… maybe focus backdash? Oy.
Man, Munky, I always thought Abel was similar to Makoto. So I thought it was completely…natural? I guess when I saw you were hype for Makoto. I honestly think she’s hella raw. Needless to say I think I will be joining you as a Makoto player. Not just caught up in the hype here. I’m making choices.
Sagat - Projectile, Zoning, “Wall of Death” character (my SF4 main, also to take down big dudes like Gief and Hawk)
Juri - Rushdown, Footsies, Air Control, New Shit (Trying to make Juri my SSF4 main, want to change playstyles)
Makoto - Momentum, Mindgames, Setups, FUN!
THE TIME HAS COME!
Edit: Thanks for the 3s clearup dudes, I never got deep into that game so I’m just skimming the surface on knowledge here. I ended up playing Akuma anyways.
This would match up with what Keno said about some of the new characters having buff ass overheads.
Dudley’s dempsey roll is pretty tight. I dunno about the other ultra where Sagat is just like spinning around for half an hour after the KO though, looks cornball.
Ibuki’s ultra with the kunai is on some Naruto shit.
i was just thinking how it’s tight and all to make all these new characters really good, but it sucks that like all the console characters got no love (except for seth who apparently is the best character in the game and i think sakura is supposed to be way better). wtf capcom. and guile and vega are still supposed to suck too? KoOL HA-HA.
other than sfiv i’ve only played one other fighting game…3s. And I played only Makoto…for about 4 years straight. So I’m pretty excitd ya. I was kinda sad that ppl around here don’t really play 3s. But now ppl got no choice lol. here comes makoto lookin pretty intact and 3rd strikey. They made a point in that vid to show her stunning someone. I am all about stun. Turtle Bait Stunnaz!!! hahaha.
PS I also love guessing and gambling. Her super, Tanden Renki, is the ultimate “all-in” gamble: More damage, no ability to block. Doesnt get any better.
Yea, they explain on the SSFIV blog update post (in japanese) that Makoto was the hardest to put in the game, and they wanted to get everything right - down to the dialog, which is not traditional Japanese I think.
I also heard that Gen is going to play a lot differently than his current iteration in SFIV.
