Yep JP copy got updated on PS3 lol.
Maybe it's my imagination but that extra buffer is real nice. The jump cancel links feel way easier, managing to link air dust with Sol a lot more.
Edit: It doesn't make combos you couldn't do before possible, but it makes ones that you got some of the time work more often. I like it.

I'm not actually worried, but I do wish I had something to look forward to like you.Zato is still top tier man!as is Faust, hehehe
With the new flower combos, you can break 200k off good starters w/o meter
Yea, I kinda envy the characters who got new tools, I'll just pretend Chroming Rose is new and start using it.
For those who got the patch, how noticeable is the input buffer/easier inputs thing?
In the brief time I played the new patch, I haven't really noticed anything different with my inputs other than linking Slayer's 5K or 2K after cS,fS. The timing for that seems to be a bit earlier than I remembered, but I haven't played the game in weeks and I forget if any of the frame data for that has changed.

Damn it. I was already free to him.Slayer is a fucking terror now
You and me both! His 6P is a god damn DP now and he gets crazy dmg off of it.

That's good to hear! I've been messing around with venom and slayer on the side. What are the new Faust flower combos?
Is there a full change list available? Was advanced input or a reversal buffer added like some earlier arcade notes suggested?
I was just playing friend's friend ("#2 player in the state") with pre-patch Slayer and he commented that everyone who uses him is scary because they're the one who've been using him for years. Now the headfirst #yolo Sol players I know are switching over.

Definitely Slayer. Also, Axl.

Hmm I'll have to mess around with that stuff when NA gets the patch.
I've been going off of what was posted on one of the shoryuken articles. How accurate that is I'm not sure but some of the changes they highlighted seem to have made it in from what I've seen so that's your best bet. I'll need someone to confirm how accurate these are though.

So it's his typical 6P
Well, does it gets non-corner damage now? Could you even go into dead on time midscreen in Xrd?
On counter hit it gets some stupid shit. You can do IAD jH during the wallbounce and land for a juggle afterwards or if you're near a corner you can go into pilebunker and do his new pilebunker loops.
.So it's his typical 6P
Also bunch of bandwagons jumping on Slayer and Axl now lol

I was watching the Hase stream that goldenrody put up yesterday those pilebunker loops hurt a lot.

I got my first draw round today. I hit the May with a jump D on wakeup when she did a reversal Whale super haha.
Hey man, I always thought Slayer was cool >.>

When I first started playing GG I chose the characters I played based on bands I liked growing up. Testament, Slayer, Axl from GnR, Venom and Faust because my very close cousins name was Fausto. I was only decent with Test and Faust though but I will admit that slayer is a fun character to play if you know how to.

Time to get back into this! I heard Ram got nerfed though. :/
Slayer is pretty cool. Lots of situational stuff and conversions make him a really fun character. Even back in 1.0 he was good at, but now he gets even more opportunities.
Although if any one wants a high damaging character that's more BB-esque on typical BNBs and overheads, Leo's a solid choice.

Because everyone in SoCal plays Mahvel and Ultra. Or they play Madden/Fifa. I am probably way off but who knows.
It is arcsys so you can guarantee there will be another release of this game with more characters, some system changes, extra stuff, etc. It's just a matter of when. If you are interested in the game I'd suggest getting it now if you can or waiting a few months to see if anything new is announced.
Might be placebo, but it feels a lot easier to do Sol's 2K 6P 5H IAD j.A j.C DP midscreen combo now. I wonder if the buffer change will mean I can actually do Ramlethal microdash combos now. :O
I should probably start playing this game again lol. Stopped playing fighting games because of Monster Hunter. :V

I just tried it, definitely feels a lot easier now.

so is the srk list the most up to date on patch notes or have the official ones not been released yet
I dunno about other NE scenes, but in Maryland, there was a lot of pushback against SF4 and the other games that followed it.
This buffer is so nice lol. I can actually do Ram's fuzzy without having practiced it ever. I see why Daiji kept on doing it on his stream.
This...is pretty much me as well.

Seems to be the most up to date that I've been able to find and I've been looking for a few days.

I know right, it's either play ranked or go find a room up in jersey, NY, ect.
Its pretty sad, my local scene(Utah) literally has nobody playing the game seriously at all even though it's one of the best fighting games to come out this millennium.
They'd rather just suck at SF4 for their whole life than try anything else its frustrating.

ok so how bad of an idea is it to get Leo, considering I have no idea how to play this game or know which character to play.
I just like the idea of active counters.
