Lol. Inferno is even unsafe during V-Trigger.

df.HP only hits once now, and crushes.

s.HP, c.HP, and c.HK no longer crush.

Why did they nerf this guy to shit?
 
I wish you could turn off the characters in the background.

They are so bad they almost ruin the amazing estate stage.
I could tolerate them if they were at least consistent with the framerate; it's extremely jarring to look at 'em in the London stage. A couple that are really close to the player characters are 60, then those behind at a certain distance are 30, then a few even further in the back are 60 again. It's baffling.

Huh. Guessing they're just from the ripped files and they don't actually play anywhere. Thought I might have missed something, so I checked the sound settings.

Maybe they're unlocked through arcade mode or something, as in previous Capcom fighters.

Karin's theme. Oh my... It's amazing

I don't know if these are real or not, but Karin's sounds like it belongs in Nights or a random Sonic game.

And, that's...

That's pretty cool.

EDIT: Maybe I'm being stupid...but I'm not hearing her A3 theme in there anywhere. Gotta go re-listen to her old theme for a while...

EDIT 2: Oh crap, I hear it now! Later on, just before it ends! Noice.

The music so far seems really good.

Still the GOAT, though.

All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag
I think it's probably more due to people just not knowing what's going on, but I am LOLing hard at how many matches I'm winning because people back away and just let me do Mika's v-skill change, then I get close and hit a grapple and do 50% or more damage for the win. It's hilarious. I confused the hell out of a Bison player who threw a projectile at me, then backed off when the first hit got absorbed!

Someone tried that with me and I IMMEDIATELY did a raw Critical Art and killed them, because fuck that noise. :p

Unreleased games can have nerfs?

You've figured out the entire game and know that he's shit now because you have to approach it in a different way?

People are way too quick to jump on extremely strong opinions. Give it some more time with the game and messing around, try to look at things from a different approach and how his stuff works relative to the rest of the cast.

Or just complain because one trial concept is different from another, that also works.

That was happening quite a bit on day 1 and a bit on day 2. I dunno if people just wanted to listen to R. Mika's great speeches or what, but they would just stare at me as I charged up. Had 2 matches where I just ended an opponent's entire life bar with a full charge throw.

Not happening anymore, though.

So wait, the beta always had twelve of the sixteen characters in the data, along with all their themes? Damn, that must be some sick compression to make that all fit under two gigabytes.

Character models are small. It's the music and video that take up a lot of space.
 
Necalli apparently eats people. Also if you keep getting Forgotten Waterfall in online matches go to your fighter settings and switch your favorite stage. When I switched it to Kanzuki Estate when I was on the player 1 side we fought on that stage.
 
Psycho Blast range nerfed. NO ONE EVEN USED THAT MOVE.

They nerfed what made him fun. Thus he got nerfed to shit.

Why even have a point blank range charge move that is punishable yet can't be hit confirmed out of anything but a jump-in?

Bison now has two completely pointless specials. It was bad enough for him to have one.

He still has problems getting locked out of jumps due to two du charge moves.

Several of his already very limited combo options have been removed.

His damage was nerfed.

His arguably best poke got nerfed in range.

Psycho Blast range nerfed.

Knee Press x CA still whiffs sometimes.

He can't even link s.HP to c.MP anymore - why remove something so basic?

That is a pretty extreme set of changes.

Plus, since this is still the beta period, why wouldn't I be vocal about how displeased I am with these changes?

I started messing around with Bison to kinda change gears from Karin and I found myself really liking him even though I have no idea what I'm doing. I might have to check him out more when the full game comes out. Now that is 4 characters I'm interested in at the moment.

We have to tell Capcom that those characters need to be taken out or send them to drug rehab. Too much coke for them. Everybody hates them.

Because you're entirely looking at this from the lens of what you lost from a previous version instead of looking at this character from the perspective of how they fit in the context of the current game. For example, pretend all the things you lost, you could never do. Now look at the character and how you'd approach the matches using the current tools instead of focusing on the old ones. They don't exist, they never have.

You're basically just saying he's bad because he's not like he was in the last beta and you're only approaching it with that old beta in mind. When dealing with such early builds of the game, you have to be willing to redevelop your approach and game plan for a character from scratch.
 
Oh my god, Karin's theme is straight up out of Persona 5 or something, I love it.

I can't believe I used to hate her up until I played as her today. Now everything about her is the BEST.
