Didnt buy AE. Just waiting for SSF4 AE Turbo.
just wondering, but why does everyone feel fei is “top tier?” he seems almost exactly the same as he was in super… maybe i havnt played a good fei but i’m not seeing it. the people that beat me 3 weeks ago are the same people that generally beat me now. If i beat them in super… i still beat them now. i really dont see how fei isnt “mid tier.” but maybe that’s because i play vega. Yun and yang are extremely hard matchups with someone competant with them because vega doesnt really have the tools to keep them out. Fei on the other hand, i’m just not seeing the “omfg top tier.”
Word is Fei has trouble with charge characters.
For the billionth time: I DON’T KNOW YET.
All I have been saying the whole time is - when the dust settles, and if Super was the better game, what reason do we have not to go back to it. That’s it. Not “OMG the twins are broken!” or “Wah my character got nerfed!” or even “the game is too hard now!” No game is perfect and no matter what the version we’re probably going to have to deal with some form of BS. Which type you prefer is a personal preference. But if we looked back and felt that Super was the better game, then why not play it? In the past we didn’t have such options. Now we do. We should be willing to do and try new things rather than be resistant to change because that’s how it’s always been.
I’ll…keep that in mind, thanks.
Juri, Dudly, Makoto, Dee Jay, Gen, Dan, Guy, Adon, Sakura, Sagat, Gouken, Fei long, Ken
All characters that got significantly better in AE.
Guile, Balrog, Honda, Bison.
Top tiers that got a bit worse in AE.
All the rest are mids that got a little worse or better (mainly a little worse) or stayed the same.
Now you’re gonna all whine because out of the 39 characters, 2 happen to be a bit better then all the rest?
Puuuh-lease.
Super is dead and thats the way it should be.
almost no bad matchups, and he smokes a few pretty good characters
Many will argue that the most balanced of the SFIV series was Vanilla, some will say Super…NO ONE says AE. Arcade Edition, the worst possible thing that could happen to Street Fighter. It has become abundantly clear that the twins are overpowered. If you look at big tournament results you will see that the vast majority is Yun/Yang. You want to win those tournaments you almost have to be Yun, Yang, or Fei. This is not the way a fighting game should work at all, Super still had characters that were obviously better than others but not to this extent. The twins seem to have a good defense and the BEST offense there is. You want to throw fireballs all day? Palm…build some meter and punish. Their rushdown is sick. Their divekicks are half screen mixups that you can control the range on, anyone who doesn’t play the twins bitches about them. I’ve seen threads similar to this where people say",oh give it some more time", what people don’t realize is it’s been out for a year. The first time Daigo played he even said he couldn’t believe Capcom was making them this good, one year later everyone is still saying that. So why would you buy an Super Really Un-Balanced Fighter IV? Well in a recent interview Seth Killian stated that if AE drug in enough money the would probably make an extension and if they add new characters the sure as hell better make it more balanced, god knows they need something to balance as a lot of people are dropping it. I love the IV series, but I will absolutely hate it if I’m stuck with this un-balanced piece of crap. I’m assuming anyone getting on SRK forums for SFIV are big enough fans to buy AE, but if you haven’t already, help the community and yourself by getting it. I know the people of Capcom are aware of the dissatisfying taste that they’ve left in people’s mouth with AE, but maybe if they see people are willing to buy their product that the series isn’t dead and they need a new one extension.
Ugh.
top 8s in majors obviously has nothing to do with those just being the best players. its obviously just the characters carrying those guys. yun and yang win every matchup 10-4. this is all just a ploy to get people to buy 3rd strike. they should have balanced the game so all matchups are 5-5. thats how real men play. all of japan hates AE. they only play it because theres nothing else to do in japan. i cant believe they made the game unbalanced on purpose to make more money. capcom dosent know how to make games. they have only been doing it for 20+ yrs. they got nothing on the guy who invented chess. they are also obviously going to listen to what every terrible player says in youtube comments sections and release a patch next week. its so stupid that im going to have to learn anti yun/yang strats. i should just be able to faceroll my controller and win. palms are stupid and unblockable and cant be whiff punnished. every time yun does an ex lunge, a virgin becomes pregnant. im gonna go slit my wrists and set my house on fire. fuck crapcom

Have fun fellas.
i thought his CW got nerfed… What matchups were bad in super that are now good in AE?
just FYI but chess is unbalanced because white goes first.
it did, but not in any way that will affect a good player. his mk cw has the same defensive purpose that hk used to have, and he can still use ex. from a distance it works the exact same way
as far as matchups, honda, chun, and guile got easier off the top of my head. ryu and gief are also borderline 7-3’s for fei now
From a casual/stream monster point of view AE is garbage, seriously the most boring stream I’ve ever watched was NCR; mainly because of how unhype it was to watch the twins just stomp everyone out.
And the people who stayed loyal to their super mains? Well you can ask fchamp how that wen’t lol
Yet CEO was very, very fun for me.
As for NCR, I loved watching Inflitration tear through almost everyone.
So, opinions.
She was she was just bottom tier. Unless you’re Vryu-sensei then she was 7: 3 in her favor against everybody.
CEO was hype because of Mike Ross, other than that it was just Tokido styling on everyone? I’ll agree the matches without the twins we’re still fun to watch but I have a feeling there’s going to be A LOT more twins at tournaments in the near future. You had random dudes who picked up the twins making top 8 at NCR why wouldn’t more people pick them?
They’re gonna patch it eventually. It is CAPCOM after all. How many different versions of sf2 did they release? So they’re gonna release more content or at least patch the two demi-gods of the game. And the patch is probably gonna cost money and we’re going to buy it…
Except Capcom would be stupid for doing so. They got away with release AE on consoles because everyone started to hate MvC3. It’s obvious AE was made “worse” so people would be desperate to turn to either 3SOE and buy that, and then go out and get SFxT.
Plus Capcom hasn’t gone past a true 3rd part for a SF series in a while. Like…SF2 long.
And this
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
AE’s been out for less than a month in the US, if the Twins are really that bad it’s something to deal with a few months down the track, not argue about with barely any personal experience, taking the same few japanese players’ opinions and using them as your own.
Why are you leaving in combos and footsies?
