360 controller on PC. It’s actually the same exact one I brought to the GameStop Nationals in San Francisco in the SFIV days. Will never forget the crowd yelling “PAD WARRIOR!”
to answer my own question, I did a bunch more testing and zangief’s hurtbox is just reduced when he does ex spd. So karin’s cr.mp into st.mp blockstring, the st.mp is just straight up whiffing when he does ex spd through it
TK SPD AA is it even viable?
So, do we have any positive news after patch ? Hope that 4 frame jump will change our MU, at least we have more time to lariat ?
Yes Alex will soon be available so we can drop Gief lol.
Idk about you guys but I’m dedicating 100% of my time to Zangeif now after seeing he’s getting a Macho Man Randy Savage outfit.
its nice, love that costume.
Much cooler than Rashid or Birdie. I think I’m the only one out there that likes how Ken looks. Necalli is a bad ass.
Alex must be a much stronger character than Gief
Gief is traditionally the weak/weakest character in every SF series
However Alex is the most awaited and favorite character, Capcom must make him much stronger than Gief
Gief is most likely to be a character who are planned and designed to fulfill the bottom tier area in History
Oh my god, I may be the exceptional one who think gief’s new costume is terrible :s
Gief’s new costume is amazing. Randy Savage was the greatest.
There is one particular buff I want, make V-Trigger anti air. I’ve lost a million matches cause I go V-Trigger only to eat a boot in my face.
There are already enough anti-air options for us, I don’t think gief need any more anti-air
I just hope they can make RBG becoming a really useful tools, may be LKRBG is OK but EXRBG is really terrible.
Have a stable combo ender instead of 2lpx3
That’s already enough
Is there any balance change in this update?
Only balance changes was os removals and a bison glitch. Jumps were nerfed across the cast (pre frame data changed from 3 to 4) so that helps Gief.
I’m sure there was some stealth nerfs though.
No! You are not!
Oh! This is something I also would like to be changed!!!
The getting killed from a j.HK while trying to v trigger sucks. I am trying to only activate it from v skill flex now or if the opponent is dumb and throws fireballs too close.
Pad player here. I have tried different pads in SF4. What I felt was :
-Xbox360 felt terrible
-madcatz fightpad, I did not like it too much at first. I was kind of starting to like it, but it quickly broke so I never bought another. It did have a floating d-pad if you like that. Personnaly I don’t.
-DS3 was fine execution wise, but it did hurt my thumb a lot. I used it quite a lot as a “good until I find better” controller
-MKX fightpad. I really loved it… until it broke after a month or two. Was really disapointed
-Hori FC4pro. When I opened it, and first played it, I thought it was okay/good. Then I started experimenting with D-pad tightness screw. I realized that once I put it as tight as possible, it was the best pad I’ve played with. I really love this pad. After a year of play, it is starting to show some signs of use though (the LP starts ocasionnaly to take a little bit longer to negative edge). Might have to buy another in a couple of months, but for now I would recommend you try it.
I’ll second the Hori FC4. It is an excellent controller. I actually just recently switched to the loosest setting, not sure how I feel about it yet.
Whatever you do stay away from the madcatz ps4 one. It is god awful.
The moment when they remove atomic suplex from Zangief, but give it Alex instead… I’m so mad right now.
Well I’m glad to see the rave reviews on the Hori FC4 because I just bought one last night. 30 bucks on Amazon if you guys are looking to pick one up.
It seems that Alex has completely longer footsies than Gief, and much more tools to get in opponents, lol :o
