I'm sure every character will be datamined to hell and back on the 20th

I think Capcom has learned their lesson by now, but we'll see.
Poor Ono never gets to keep a secret.

Regular Hadokens seem to have a limited range before they vanish.

Tatsu into DP is a thing.

That Heavy Tatsu looks dope

 

[Neonep]

Oh also little tid bit for Akuma when I was looking through the costumes he had a nostalgia named costume and it was his original costume.

 

[vg260]

I’m totally getting Helen and Haggar vibes from the first two silhouettes, but that’s probably just my brain playing tricks on me.

I didn't know how to feel about the idea of all never been-in-SF characters, but Haggar would top my list for those, so I'm more excited about that prospect now.

 

[Asd202]

So when is Capcom Cup starting?

6PM PT

[Neonep]

Akuma's hadokens definitely aren't full screen.

I'm sure every character will be datamined to hell and back on the 20th

I hope so!

 

[Asd202]

That late?

 

[ElFly]

Akuma has clearly been training with Dan

 

[kirblar]

K-Brad saying Mika's been nerfed.

 

[Mœbius]

Capcom have posted Akuma's movelist: http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/fdata-gok.html

FluxWaveZ, post if you're ok.

 

[HardRojo]

I wonder if they'll surprise us with 2-3 actual returning characters for the season in case the 5 announced today are really brand new.

I hope they reveal more stuff later today at Capcom Cup, like balance changes, new SP modes and dates for costumes and stages.

 

[RK9039]

Low health as usual.

 

[Moaradin]

Lowest health in the game. Seems like he's gonna do some crazy damage though.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Well, time to update the OP.

 

[Alchemist]

Capcom have posted Akuma's movelist: http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/fdata-gok.html

875 health O_O

K-Brad saying Mika's been nerfed.

Balance patch on the 20th as well I guess.

That's Akuma all right.

 

[Moaradin]

I wish they would be more specific about these nerfs. Just gonna assume it's not true otherwise.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

FluxWaveZ, post if you're ok.

Damn straight.

Someone I played against was talking to me about it this morning. He mentioned no mid-screen wall bounce, st.MP is -6 and something else.

 

[JayEH]

a bit disappointed they didn't give a full season 2 breakdown yet. hopefully tonight.

 

[ElFly]

Air fireball and air tatsu only during forward jump and demon flip

That s huge

 

[RK9039]

How is st.MP right now?

lmao damn they went it

 

[lucebuce12]

Right now, it's -2 oB.

 

[Producer]

st.MP is -6 and something else.

That cant be right.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Air fireball and air tatsu only during forward jump and demon flip

That s huge

In v-trigger he can do air fireballs during his back jump

 

[RK9039]

Right now, it's -2 oB.

Wow, that explains a lot.

 

[myco666]

st.MP being -6 sounds nuts

 

[JayEH]

[lucebuce12]

That s huge

But you can do air fireball in a backwards jump while in V-Trigger

Akuma powers up and envelops his body with ki to enter Dohatsu Shoten mode. In this mode, his Gohadokens are more powerful, now able to travel full-screen and he can unleash two in the air even while jumping backwards. Additionally, when he lands his Goshoryuken attack, he follows-up and violently drives his opponents into the ground.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Leave Laura alone Capcom

Spoiler

Buff her

 

[FluxWaveZ]

That cant be right.

Didn't sound right to me, but it's what the dude told me. Looking forward to hearing more.

 

[lucebuce12]

Just making it -3 or hell, -4 would be more than enough. -6 is like a wet dream for people who hate Mika.

 

[RK9039]

Yeah -3 would be ideal.

Leave Laura alone Capcom

Spoiler

Buff her

Everyone other than Fang is getting nerfed, beliee dat.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

sMP being -6 AND removing midscreen wallbounce from Passion Press is way overkill, imo. One or the other is fine, but removing both kills a lot of the netural pressure she had.

Yeah, i dont think theres any medium thats more than like -3 on block apart from sim and chun slide

 

[Tecl0n]

Damn i wasn't expecting the balance so soon.

What's with these Chun Li tier fireballs.

I predict another caca DLC character to add to the pile.

 

[skLaFarebear]

bruh if they nerf her fireball

 

[kirblar]

Damn i wasn't expecting the balance so soon.

Getting it out now lets them make adjustments before the S2 PT starts up if needed.

 

[Moaradin]

I feel like we would have got a blog update on balance changes if we're getting them so soon. But there's still Capcom Cup I guess, so they could have more info there.

 

[mnz]

I would be disappointed if the balance patch is just small changes to frame data and damage. I was expecting something a little more drastic.

We'll see, I guess.

I expect a small "state of the union" style update on SFV, yeah.

 

[lucebuce12]

Some characters just need frame data adjustments to be more balanced while some require more comprehensive changes. So yeah, I'm curious to see what they do.

.... That's all a balance patch is?
