i wonder urien's reception will make season 2 characters more free-form in combos or urien will be "adjusted" to the whole sf5 motiff
Even a blind man can see how much better Urien's reception has been compared to the other DLC characters. If there is a God Capcom rebalance S1 DLC characters to be more like Urien and avoid making boring DLC characters for season 2.
I hope they continue in the same direction for future characters that they took with Urien. Really open and deep compared to how limited they made Ibuki/Balrog/Guile/Alex feel.
I feel like Urien was Capcom's way of saying "Yes, we can still make fun characters"
At least Rog's combos and resets look cool AF. Guile is kinda boring outside of his MvC boom corner combos and Alex would be less entertaining than watching paint dry if he didn't have his jab AA mixups.
V-skills in general could be better.
Even some of the fun ones don't see a lot of useage.
We need second V-skills. Some characters just have super boring V-skills that won't become good or fun no matter how much you buff them (Karin, Alex and Ibuki come to mind). I don't think I've ever seen a Guile use his crouch walk V-skill... not that I've seen more than a couple dozen Guiles since he came out LOL.
Balrog is super fun, the most fun he's ever been. He has so many resets and mix ups. Too many people sleeping on him. Well I think too many people are sleeping on the dlc characters in general. Only one that seems like complete trash is Ibuki but that could be fixed by giving her a two bar v trigger I think.
I can see that with Balrog. The dude's combos, damage, forward pressure and resets look the sickest out of the entire DLC cast, but his lunging punches seem to be easy to blow up with sweeps, projectiles and the right standing normals.
