I don’t think they’d nerf the Lariat AA ability, that would just be silly to make the hitbox identical to hurtbox.
Thust us, Gief is done now
Capcom like give gief some shittly move but take out the most important and core tools from him
Thanks fucking Combofiend, this idiot should be sent to the hell
Combofiend is working on Marvel.
Calm down.
Was Itazan really doing that much damage that Japan cried over lariat.
Itazan is pretty much single handedly making Japan call Gief top 5 so, yep
That didn’t exactly stop them before.
Who could’ve guessed they would take away his Green Hand?
Since Blanka isn’t in the game it seems Gief is now the scrub-scapegoat no.1.
I prefer Gief without GH I’m gonna be entirely honest.
Maybe i’m just optimist without a real reason because i really wanted Gief to get new stuff, but i’m really curious to see how the new special counter work and if the new low-throw have some special effect
Btw watching Kolin getting insane damage on her special counters, make me think the Gief new one will be huge too
Also can be fun if depending on wich P used it change the effect too
Also peoples saying that they nerfed Lariat and gave us as trade just 3 new tools as if is some kind of robbery, should consider that they could just have still nerfed Lariat and… give us no shit
I will not have been surprised lol
It’s kicks only so I assume it will have a big payoff for being so unique. 240 damage with big stun value would be nice, but I would trade that for a counter move that gives Gief a point blank +2 situation
Considering this, EX version will add one more layer of bet-risk-payoff, he may get something crazy for it
Hmmm. Instead of giving Big Z these kick only counter moves, how about making dhalsim’s Cc stand HK actually whiff punishable…
In that way, we don’t have to give kick only counters to the rest of the cast. Just saying.
I think I’m playing this character all wrong now. I’m still learning how to play and trying to play solid but struggling to break 7k. Yes online is a total joke, especially in this game but I watch streams of other Giefs that have over 10k and they’re all atrocious. Mashing lariats hoping to hit, random ex.rbg’s, never hit confirming lariat combos, and yet they get away with this crap every time and beat people. These scrubs would get bodied against any competent player. I know this game is meant for scrubs but come on now. Maybe I should just turn my brain off and join the club.
Sounding like a bit of a scrub gonna be honest
So what’s the consensus on Kolin? Another bad MU for Gief?
And u sound like a bit of a dick gonna be honest.
I was hovering around gold/super gold when I said screw it, I’m just going to spam st. roundhouse and fierce to fish for CCs. I don’t play footsies anymore, just Hailmary fierce and roundhouse. I threw all caution in the wind and stopped trying to infuse my game with any kind of sophistication. I went to Platinum almost overnight.
This game rewards a braindead, direct approach and punishes finesse.
If you’re gonna say you can’t break 7k and then blame every possible facet of the game and/or playerbase before saying “I should train a little more” then maybe considering rewriting the entire post before I call you out on it.
Get better.
There are already quite much complains outside here, blaming Gief was already a OP character in S2, but Capcom still giving him 3 more new moves.
Rip Gief in S3. Capcom always nerf characters hard just base on the amount of complaints.
None of his new moves are nerfs really,they’re pseudo buffs.
Choke slam is just a new throw,Flying headbutt is either the old school headbutt or a new AA and Tundra Storm is a situational counter requiring virtually psychic reads to be usable.
Zangief needs a combo-able EX special, to not feel like an underdog in the combined utility-damage department.
EX Slot Machine or EX Roulette just isn’t good enough.
I prefer Gief with the banishing flat, as part of his character design. It’s a good design choice that compensates his weaknesses (projectiles and mobility) well.
In the current form, Iron Body is just too difficult and can’t hold a candle to the greenhand.
We need a buff to the V-Skill.
