to be fair, Ryu had that in ST…but the fact Poison has it is cool, it should be noted that not everyone can do that.
i thought seth more specifically said that not only can you do sweep xx fireball with ryu/poison, but that sweep xx fireball dash cancel actually leaves you at advantage for them
yeah if you dash cancel it you be at advantage…but ironically enough, Poison can combo after her :lp: fireball… I jus thought it would be self explanatory o_O
I missed Ricky’s Poison? Phooey.
I’m watching the stream right now, and I can’t help but think that there is some overall philosophy that the player base at large is missing that won’t come out until weeks after release. It sounds like Ricky was playing the same sort of game he always plays in AE. In the same way, the commentary during Combofiend’s fights seemed to indicate his past experience with Rolento in Alpha. Knowledge of Rolento combos + King knee combos = Combofiend wins. It’s looking like people are (understandably) reverting back to what they know instinctively. I want to see the replay of Ricky’s matches to be sure, but I suspect that Combo’s tactics seemed to be better tailored to the new game. Maybe positioning will end up being much more vital in the game?
Here’s a thought I had as an example: My day 1 team is looking like Poison / King. Someone on stream mentioned that King is obviously deadly when he gets in. Could Poison on this team, instead of being about raw damage, actually be about setting up launcher combos into King Knees and whatever else?
Just a thought.
you didn’t miss anything Robbie…Ricky’s Poison didn’t do anything amazing.
I’m hoping Jago uses her when he goes on stream later.
Ricky’s on stream using Poison right now if you wanted to catch it.
Why are people in the chat trying so hard to say Poison = Woman. This is annoying, people are willing to kill a character’s originality to feel okay for having the character in the game. This saddens me.
Don’t wanna start any discussion, I’m just stating what I saw.
EDIT: I’m pretty sure our decision of tag partner for Poison will play such a major role in Poison’s overall effectiveness in high levels.
Ricky just hopped back on stream…looks like I was worried about nothing. KbaG is looking amazing, her mixups are still looking super tricky, and someone on commentary even mentioned that Ricky tends to favor more rushdown oriented characters (like I expected).
…and is it just me, or is Ricky not putting any gems on Poison at all?
Ricky has no Gems on Poison~
No, he isn’t using gems.
And yes, her combo damage might not be the best but her pressure looks incredible. Her fireball feint is a godsend, not to mention that the first hit of WoL looks completely safe.
c.:mk: xx WoL does pretty good damage.
I just noticed the battle ranking after the match. Lol, AAA, shoutouts to SNK. xD
Poison is doing really well without any gems. She is doing really well some someone who does decent damage.
It looks like a good wiff punisher Cr. :mk: that is, however nerd josh just bodied Ricky…
I’m really happy with Ricky’s Poison, even though he isn’t playing her 100%.
I’m in love with dat Aeolus feint.
I really wanna study the c.hk xx feint advantage. With her range it looks like we can create a good pressure string, especially in the corner.
idk Jamp, Ricky is just playing very basic~ sticking to fundamentals, so i can’t really say anything because hes solid, but its kinda boring…
That’s what I meant by him not using her 100% - he rarely uses LMT for example. I actually find her basic gameplay fun to watch - specially with Aeolus feints and the heavy Aeolus pressure.
Also is it just me or does her throw look like it has better range and damage than most?
i said that awhile back, it seems like her throws do alot, but i think its still like SFIV where most throws do the same damage, but doing meaty fireballs after her throws is really good or even a meaty LMT~ lolz
but the range seems the same, its just she can get in there with those fireball cancels.
so do i, if it’s anything like viper tk feint pressure/advantage i’ll be so happy
also a side question that I’m interested in for my other character i want a heavy execution based character do we know who that may be yet?? I also hope it’s a female char but who knows
