Combofiend - "The main focus of Akuma in Street Fighter 5 was to make him feel familiar, yet new... it's up to the players to develop him as a character"

What a load of BS. The last time someone developed a playstyle (Infiltration Nash) Capcom werent aware of they killed that style.You play the way Capcom tells you to , or you get rekt after a year.

It's what, day two of season 2?
So why not give new Nash a chance before writing him off completely?

That would be ok, but the nerf to Sonic booms made it much weaker as well. I dont know what Capcom expects people to do with the character. Sure he can do well against characters who have a natural weakness against Fireballs. But apart from that they just made him less fun to play. Curious to hear Bonchans thoughts on the character , since he relied Heavily on using Sonic booms in neutral and upclose. Infiltration's style is dead and gone.

They should have buffed his walkspeed if they wanted him to play more footsies/offensive pressure. All those frame traps mean nothing if you cant setup a throw game.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

They got reset.

Seems like it. Got them back after only 2-3 matches. Seems like those should take more.

All of the Nash bitching during the first half of the year did its job. By the time people started to figure him out, it seems capcom was already set in nerfing him. Definately seems too reactionary.

 

[Moaradin]

Nash is probably fine

 

[Lyte Edge]

I assume you're using a brooks converter? It has to be updated. Google Brooks's super converter, go to their site, click downloads and then find your model. Sony keeps adding an 8 minute time out for converters with each big patch they release.

Nope...just plugging a PS3 Mad Catz fightpad into the PS4. Maybe this is a sign to finally switch over to Hori FC.

 

[Shadoken]

Nash is probably fine

Only Bonchan can tell us. By the later half of the Season he was the only consistent Nash player. Since people had already figured out Infils Hit and Run style. Infiltration has already confirmed hes not playing Nash.
And Bonchan cant really be throwing booms up close like he normally does with the nerfs to Pushback and Additional Hurtbox. So yea I would genuinely be curious how these players can make Nash work. Nobody else made top 32 with the character anyway.

Most characters will be fine if they nerf one or two strong tools. But nerfing every tool the character has will kill him. Not one aspect of Nash was left un-nerfed.

So in reference to people talking about the game feeling slower...

My performance on PC is definitely worse with this update

 

[Edzi]

lol at Akuma having an AA jab that beats crossups. GG Capcom.

I think this is more an effect of Crossups being nerfed. I think some other characters can also do the same.

First I'm hearing of this.

 

[mbpm1]

First I'm hearing of this.

It's harder for some characters to actually hit crossups

This sounds dumb.

 

[LakeEarth]

I hit so many people with Urien's cross-up yesterday. NO ONE sees it coming yet.

 

[Onemic]

with his low health he needs as much bs as possible

 

[Moaradin]

I'm so used to S1 Urien that I completely forget about the cross up lol. I think I might have got it once in a match.

 

[Edzi]

That's the kind of BS I thought they were trying to get rid of though.

 

[Shadoken]

First I'm hearing of this.

Read patch notes. Many characters got their hitbox moved upward,hurtbox extended downwards and Active frames reduced for Crossups and Jumpins.
Hence making it possible even a regular Jab to AA. Though it is still quite risky against Jumpins. Cross ups never had a great hitbox anyway.

Heck low profile moves should also work much better now since active frames are down. So if someone did a jumpin early you can low profile it and if someone does it late , you can AA Jab it.

 

[Marvel]

Anyone know the code for taking off Akuma's shirt? (nostalgia alt)

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Anyone know the code for taking off Akuma's shirt? (nostalgia alt)

Hold lp,mp,hp,lk, + up before fight and/or between rounds

That's the general costume altering code for everyone not named Urien.

 

[HardRojo]

Game is less than $50 on Steam and includes both season passes in my region apparently. That's amazing value!

Nice, ty.

 

[Edzi]

GGs Whales. You play super slow and patient and got me on tilt with the jab AAs, so I had to switch to Alex to compose myself lol.

 

[Whales]

GGs Edzi... my akuma still needs a lot of practice T_T

Althought I was hyped as fuck when I got that comeback in game 1 and KOed you with that ground pound lol

 

[myco666]

Just played a match against Akuma. Baiting DPs is working well.

Haven't tested it yet but can you Bullhorn through Akumas air fireball?

Combofiend says a lot of bullshit to be honest. He's just a PR mouthpiece.

What a hassle. They should just make some sort of accessorie toggle at the select screen.

 

[Mr. X]

I'm so used to S1 Urien that I completely forget about the cross up lol. I think I might have got it once in a match.

Everyone can crouch to make it whiff but the big bodies.

B-but the arcade nostalgia.

There's shortcuts for it.

Gah! I hate character-specific crap like that.

 

[TheSpoiler]

This always happens. If you don't like what they did to Nash you are free to quit using him. We are only on our second day of season 2, let the meta breathe and let people put in work across the board.

If some good shit comes you can always return.

Is it just me or the servers are worse now

So Akuma is stuck in a wheelchair in a few decades?

 

[Karsticles]

Whenever a fighting game gets an update, casuals come out of the woodwork. They are usually wireless or on worse connections, lowering the general experience. Some of them come on here and complain, not knowing they are the problem.

I get that but I mean

[Gr1mLock]

Anyone else dropping shit because of the normals changes? I'm like butterfingers over here.

No, he's a turtle by now.

Omg, Mika feels fair af now to play against.

why is Nier Automata so good guys

Probably they don't know other playstyle other than Infiltration's. He has Cr.mk which has good reach and faster booms.

I haven't played with anyone but Akuma since S2's launch, but I am now double tapping everything to avoid dropping my shit. Never really used to.

 

[kirblar]

Omg, Mika feels fair af now to play against.

The clap/whip was completely stupid- now they can actually tune other parts of her if she's too weak as expected.

I could never be sure when to press buttons before until that whip got nerfed to the seventh circle of hell.

Good riddance.

 

[leroidys]

Ugh, ran into my first lag-switcher since the patch. Wonder if this will become more common now that rage quitting isn't a viable strategy.

It was match 3 and I had a huge life lead, then the lag starts and the Ryu does his shinkuu hadouken from halfway across the screen.

you unlocked Benimaru!?
