...

A lot of that is just reiterated change notes. Good info on the new characters for people who haven't been keeping up with gameplay footage though.

 

[SimSimIV]

Give Dhalsim a wake-up option, then he'll be good.

Ex teleport: makes reversal tp instant air

 

[Karsticles]

Ex teleport: makes reversal tp instant air

Yoga Reincarnation: die and come back as a better character.

 

[alstein]

Give Dhalsim a wake-up option, then he'll be good.

Make his EX Yoga flames real good, and his teleport work on reversal properly?

Personally I want ST Drills, and EX flames to be as good as HDR Yoga Flames.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Ricky won AE in Civil War, RayRay won UMVC3. Debate ensued over majors as always.

PRRog got bodied in Topanga, only won one set and complained about his character. PRRog then vented by playing Nemo in a FT15 exhibition (UMVC3). Super close set, went to deuce and PRRog squeeked out the win. Nemo got salty over Vergil when he didn't snap the character in once over 30 games.

Daigo won Topanga (hence the title), Xiao Hai got 2nd only losing to PRRog, undefeated with Cammy though.

There was a PAX East tourney as well and a USF4 location test. Justin won that so it was a double Rufus/EG win over the weekend.

Some tournament in Norcal. Marn vs Apologyman FT7, Apologyman zipped his ass up easily.

ChrisG won AE and Marvel in a Latin American tournament.

thanks man

 

[Horseress]

I have faith in Combo to give something else to Dhalsim before Ultra is ready

I'm labing with him a bit, to understand more the struggle, and dude, the recovery from the air teleport is BAD! I don't know how Art uses that to do mix ups, he's that godlike I suppose

 

[MiniBossBattle]

I just want them to be safe ON HIT.

 

[xCobalt]

Theory red focus combos:
Gouken
--jump hp (105), close mp (65), cr hp (.8*80=64) xx rush punch (.7*130=91) xx rfc (.5*127=63.75) crumple, close mp (.4*65=26), cr hp (.3*80=24), hp rush punch (.2*130=26) = 465
--jump hp (105), close mp (65), cr hp (.8*80=64) xx rush punch (.7*130=91) xx rfc (.5*127=63.75) crumple, u1 (.3*503=151) = 540

Palm sends the opponent flying so these combos wouldn't work.

 

[Infinite]

So with ex red focus you get the crumple faster or something?

the info here is wrong. PRRog won 2 sets (Xaiohai, Infil) & Xaiohai lost to Fuudo as well.

 

[Dahbomb]

Alright will edit info.

 

[K.Sabot]

Yo the madcatz stream is playing Weaponlord

WEAPONLORD

donkey and I are both streaming Gundam:

[Skilotonn]

I don't see how those changes are "significant" for Dee Jay - they are improvements, but that's it. Anyone that played him before won't have a drastic new playstyle to learn or put to use. I do appreciate the EX MGU improvements, but still.

And they still should have returned El Fuerte's U2 back to a 3 frame start-up from Super. SF4.

 

[CPS2]

So with ex red focus you get the crumple faster or something?

Yeah level 1 focus crumples.

 

[Professor Beef]

Dissidia matches are hype, what in the hell

Some of the videos use dubbed over music for whatever reason, but there's about 3-5 tracks from each FF available to choose from during the pre-fight loading screen.

 

[BakedYams]

Ex teleport: makes reversal tp instant air

Man, this sounds like a lot of fun.

Make his EX Yoga flames real good, and his teleport work on reversal properly?

Both would make him pretty good. Possibly even A tier.

 

[Ryu1999]

Anyone have a link to the vid, or a timestamp for Twitch?

Alex?

 

[QisTopTier]

I'm probably going to pass on Ramlethal after seeing videos of her. Not sure if she fits my style.

There are some Ramlethal matches with Koichi using her against Ogawa and Machabou which was fun to watch too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxxxAQb1PI8

She's basically Mu with some Mak style combos in a sense. So I have no complaints xD

Thanks!

 

[Kadey]

AE anyone? -=eats munchos=-

 

[CPS2]

Are there any HD videos of Xrd with footage of people who know what they're doing?

 

[BakedYams]

I would but I gotta work tomorrow...

How many characters in your respective currently played games can you guys play at a proficient level?

I can play about 8-10 characters at a relatively high level in AE, I change my main every basically every day. Been playing Dudley and Juri a lot lately though.

I'm a character specialist in AE; Maybe 5 characters, tops, in Marvel 3.

 

[Passive Assassin]

i can "play" ken, ryu, sagat, akuma, ibuki, oni, eryu, makoto, freejay, guile. anyone that isn't charge or piano-reliant are characters i can do pretty "well" as.

I can play 80% of the Marvel cast proficiently just because I have gone through so many damn teams to find the right one. In every other game I only know the inputs for 2-4 characters.

 

[toddhunter]

I don't play anybody at a high level, but I make a point of being able to play every character in SF4.

Except Ryu.

Nobody.

I mostly play Juri and Oni, but have played a little bit of Abel and Dudley. I don't consider myself good enough at the game to be high level with anyone.

However, brush off the rust on my Juri and I could probably play well enough though.

 

[Kadey]

Playing with Ave if anybody wants in.

 

[Riposte]

sub-title is garbage, btw

I play just about every fighting game there is, so long as I have someone else to play with. I am proficient in none of them, but I have a lot of fun. Haven't touched Virtua Fighter yet though.

I only really focus on two characters at a time (Eileen and Aoi in Final Showdown, Noel and Platinum in BBCP), though to say I play those characters proficiently would be an understatement or flat out lie in some cases. I just know how to use those characters more than I do the rest of the cast.

Same here. Marvel permutations with Dante and Vergil (screw Trish), AE probably 5 (Yun, Yang, Seth, Ryu, Guy)?

[Kimosabae]

Q, you feel like playing some Guilty Gear? I'm about to hit the bed, but I wanna play a couple matches to see how well it plays over psn.

*edit*

nvm maybe tomorrow

 

[chriskun]

I think the term "character specialist" doesn't really make any sense. Isn't everyone who has a main a character specialist? And don't the overwhelming majority of players have a main rather than play a large set of characters?

I feel like 'Character Specialist' is another way of saying 'this person is in my opinion the greatest player of x character'.

 

[Silky]

played melee for the first time in years today. Come back with a headache

 

[vulva]

I wouldn't say it means they're the greatest or anything. A character specialist is someone who takes the game seriously enough to explore as much as they can about their character and actively tries to discover new tricks or solutions to bad matchups. Someone could main a character but not put in that dedication.

This is the usage I commonly see.

It's rough. I ain't about that life.

 

[Kadey]

I suck at fighting games. I'll go to the kitchen.

 

[Skab]

So MK Komplete Edition is on sale for 75% off over on GMG. Thinking about grabbing it, but did we ever hear what was going on with it's online?

 

[BoosterDuck]

Knowing Warner Bros. they won't do shit, just like Ed Boon hasn't fixed MK/Injustice's online yet.

So, would you call Justin Wong a character specialist? How about Ricky Ortiz? They both play Rufus, and they both play relatively differently, and are both top level players.
