Yeah. Dat counterhit system. Looks like right now there's either a lot of counter hit juggling off AA or just knockdowns which is great for the Tekken cast to setup Oki and pressure.
His buffs + other's nerfs are definitely gonna move him up some spots. He still has limitations though, so I'm not thinking top tier. But it'll be muuuuch better.
Your jumps must be super obvious & head-on for Ibuki's and Juri's to hit. Dunno about Hei because which crazy mind would jump on that tank.
Here's a great set that happened at SoCalRegionals between Noej (Yoshi/Kazuya) vs Justin Wong (Rufus/Chun) (v2013)
You can notice Yoshi is faster now, he may go up some tiers just because of that(not that he was bad before)

Do you guys know if screen tearing/glitching is a result of the software, my PC's hardware/video card (Geforce 520 GT), or my monitor (Samsung 32" LED)?
Its kind of annoying.

It's pretty much any jump in that doesn't cross up.
You can hear Justin and (I think) Ricky complaining on the lowered hitstun on Rufus' dive kick. "How didn't that combo!? It hit so low!"
So sad. Glad that stupid dive kick got nerfed into oblivion, hopefully Capcom stops putting them into their fighters.

That is kind of dumb if it's like that as it makes the move pointless. Lili's dive kick is still useable and can EX making it virtually unpunishable.

The problem is that you make the characters almost useless
I don't really feel sorry for Rufus in the slightest

He's really not great in SF x T

I'm pretty sure it didn't stop Ricky Ortiz from beating Infiltration at SCR with Rufus in SFxT. At least, I'm pretty sure he did.
The divekick being nerfed doesn't really stop him from having the pressure and damage he already has, it just means he doesn't get the free damage from it. Plus being able to change your jump in midair is still valuable.

Five days left guys, GET HYPE!
Divekicks are harder to connect, but they are still good. Top players love to complain, especially when something was broken and then it isn't anymore.

This. We'll get a new game announcement before this game will be playable for PC. Haven't even gotten all the DLC or the characters on PC yet.

You'll build back a good amount of meter you started the combo off with anyway most of the time.
Super hyped for Tuesday. I need to get all my gym workouts done by Sunday and just bum indoors for the rest of the week after the patch drops.
Can't wait to expose all the chain combo frauds.

Probably gonna be dropping both Rolento and Julia. I might keep Julia, though, dunno. Alisa with Julia, Elena, Lili, or Christie.

I'm determined to make my Juri and Bryan team work, been practicing combos and trying to link them in cross attacks.

i started playing again in anticipation of ver2013. picked up paul as well and he is really fun, even without the buffs yet. i think people are offput by his walkspeed that they don't even bother to try him. he reminds me a bit of motw terry, which is my fave snk game/chara.
theres too many charas i wanna play now. it'll be hard to settle with a main team when the patch drops.
Been playing a lot of SFxT on the Vita, since I won a copy in a contest.
Is good to see that Raven got some good Buffs, I don't mind the Shuriken nerf, I rarely use it, I'm more an offensive player. Juri keeps getting nerf for unnecessary reasons, but I will still play her.
Alisa and Lars have been in my characters pool and I enjoy playing both. I think Alisa is awesome, Lars is also awesome, but he does shit damage and has some weird normals. But thankfully with the buffs he got, he will do better.
And finally, I will pick up Lili again, I still think they could have done better with her, but I like her buffs, so I will definitely pick her up again. Really want to test out ver 2013, will be fun to play in teams with my partner again.

Are you referring to cross cancels?
I'm not sure what you mean by Juri not deserving of buffs. She and Chun Li are the best SF characters.

Yes cross cancels, I've not played a fighter in years so my timings for combos are way off, It's been fun practicing though.
Nice! I don't play it on PC but that's great news!
How recent is that patch? Is PC version up to date now?
Not yet, PS3/Xbox360 are at version 1.07 (and 1.08 (a.k.a. v2013) is coming in 4 days) \o/
The consoles are getting v.2013 in a few days, so the pc is still behind (i think it took ~5 months in ssf4 ae pc to get the 2012 version after the consoles)

Played buncha matches on SFxT PC with Europeans in Endless Lobby. No drops or skips after like 15 matches in yellow and one orange connection.
Oh yea? Is THAT better than PSN?

Unlock and then play online with them? Daaaamn, that's fucked up
started with Guile/King, after that Blanka/Jack, now there is a chance I'll go with BlankA/Kuma

most tekken charas are actually rush down, so you should probably be more specific. lili and xiaoyu are pretty popular. steve if you like combos. asuka is underated. kazuya has good rush down, but is also more well rounded compared to the others. bob is supposed to be rushdown right? ive never used em or seen anyone who has. then theres hwoarang players who go for overhead 99% of the time and law players who love their ex moves.
