I got the impression that Doom had issues as anchor. Maybe that's a factor.

He's better than people give him credit for on anchor. He has insane solo damage without X-factor. Great normals and specials too. He's a very complete character but he has some bad matchups which effect every anchor outside of the big three. As a point character he's top 15 with assists, easy. But his assists and TAC shenanigans make Doom a much better support character.
 
Apologyman's Marvel Tier List

I'm kind of surprised Shuma is so high on support- I guess he thinks the assist is THAT good, because the squid doesn't offer much else in terms of support that I'm aware of. Then again, a lot of the support placement seems really random. Ryu is a better support character than Storm (neither has great assist options but hailstorm DHC and reliable omni-directional infinites make Storm much better, IMO)? Magneto is straight mid tier support despite having the best beam assist for teleport mix-ups and the easiest omni-direction TAC infinites in the game? Vergil around mid tier for support despite him being a walking DHC glitch, and letting you DHC into spiral swords giving you complete control of the match for its duration?

Really, the support stuff flat out goes against reality. There is not one human on the face of the earth who has actually picked Ryu as a support character, while Vergil is one of the most used support characters in the game, Yipes has won tournaments with Magneto in a support role, Justin Wong makes Storm work as a support (not as his primary assist character though), and hell- Spencer is mostly played as a support character these days, haha.

And how can Phoenix not be bottom of the barrel for support? Like, she's literally an anti-support. You cannot ever call her as an assist (outside of combos) and she makes it so your point character has FEWER options due to her inherent nature forcing you to restrict meter usage. Also, why isn't Dorm near the bottom? He has one barely usable assist, his DHCs in are just decent, TAC options are so-so, etc. etc.

edit: as always, individual character tier lists are dumb anyway, haha.
 
I can't be the only one that finds the notion of a standalone Metal Mario incredibly stupid.

It's like a construction worker trying to sentimentalize his best-fitting boots.

Individual lists are dumb, but let us not forget that Dormammu has great DHCs, which gives him support value.

Phoenix has TK Overdrive, which has Akuma Tatsu priority. I call it a lot on my Phoenix team and she has never died. She has support value.
 
Decapre's moveset

She's faster than Cammy it looks like

She looks pretty terrible though. Her moveset is really meh and she doesn't have Cammy's stupidity quotient.

So.. Triforce and Dieminion are stuck in France cuz they missed their return flight to the state (Due lol worthy reasons)

And even better theyre asking the French FGC for help

Obviously they should hang around for a month, get Dimineon to win Stunfest and then use that money to make their way home.
 
Damn gaffers are so fast to post my own videos lol. If you have questions about Decapre just ask and I'll do my best to remember what I played. ^^

hahaha I saw Alioune tweeting it and posted it here.

That's an old build tho, she doesn't have the ground drill anymore. Good shit on the video still
 
What is roughly the damage for each ultra?

Always tested the W ultra so i am not very aware. It didn't shocked me for being too poor or too good. Average I would say.

Yup I didn't know what version I was gonna play, so we talked with Alioune of things we could do. Too bad I could not test the japanese one, but still some informations are interesting.

Even the japanese build will be very different than the character will ending up being on release, but still, some interesting things, like her "hands" are indeed very punisheable like Combofiend said

About the final build, there's no release date for the Arcade version right? All we know is that it will be this month, so we can expect a full change list in the next days I assume
 
If I remember correctly, Decapre will not be in the arcade release but unlocked when the console port comes out.

Edit : forgot to mention it but two videos of matches with Decapre will be out soon too. Dudley vs Decapre and Decapre vs Elena. 10 minutes each, with me and another journalist playing like dicks.
 
I am sure you guys remember the rumour about 3 extra characters because of the empty slots on the character select screen posted on the Japanese website?

My friend recently moved to Tokyo, and he saw a poster about USFIV in an arcade, where it said something similar to "8 times more intense". He immediatley thought it could mean 8 New characters.

This is probably nothing, and I would still be very surprised if another 3 characters are coming, but I just wanted to mention it. My friend will try to get footage of the poster.
 
While I don't care if Snake comes back he confirms a possibility I don't like. I'd rather Sakurai not waste time bringing back every vet and spend time making new characters. People can play as cut characters in previous installments. It gives you a reason to go back.

i dont know what to think about this comment

Mmh, mmh, yeah...8 dolls now and the other 4 in Hyper USF4 EX.

According to this Japanese guy (I don't know who he is, but his tweet got 13 RTs), it's set to be out on Tuesday: https://twitter.com/FGC_Hanakei/statuses/451410059981905920

Soo, Triforce missed his flight back to the US and is asking the French to pay for his flight back

‏@jamesbardolph
When I say missed I mean, chose not to get on it

they should livestream their hilarious adventures in france to fund the trip back
 
Hold on hold on hold on.

Wasn't there a picture of dieminion next to a Bentley insinuating that it belonged to him?

also, can we maybe get a fundraiser going to bring JUST dieminion back and leave triforce stuck in europe?

that bentley picture was a joke since it was taken at kuwait.

Will not back! ((╬ಠิ﹏ಠิ))

Good thing GK got to play Ultra when Boulapoire is in SF: that way I don't get to be jealous of him talking to me about it... ^^
 
It feels like the Arcade is probably going to be a near-final beta, with them pushing any additional balance changes that end up needing to be made when Decapre hits
 
Are we sure about this whole thing? Like, /r/Kappa is not exactly the best source, and he didn't said anything on his twitter account
