Gootecks, Mike Ross, and JWong with the IRL yomi. :lol

Mike Ross has taken up residence in Gamerbee's head. :lol

 

[USD]

I can't help but laugh at Mike Ross, his comments on Justin's Ryu and the "OOOOOH!" get me laughing every time. I love how they basically say Canada is free at the end (and then it coming true in teams, with JS's team being just another OCV under the belt). :lol

 

[the_log_ride]

I'm not even mad about being on this team. (was that from the thread in OT? )

 

[chriskun]

This is a first, someone on my friends list just deleted me after I played a few rounds of endless. I was playing Guy and he kept on switching characters. I beat him every time, and then he switched to his main Sakura and proceeded to kick my ass. Then he boots me, and sends me this message: " don't mash jab, don't even play guy.." :lol (I was mashing jab)

Mike ross always wears really tight fitting t-shirts. Don't know why I noticed that :lol

Hey Farms, congrats for winning that Turkey Throwdown tournament. I saw the results at SRK.

Really enjoyed this episode. Looks like the 100 yen team filmed it. Nicely shot and edited

 

[Dartastic]

Oh that was me with the headband, brother. I had to class up the stream a little bit. Also, I'm moving to Portland in a few months, do you go to the local casuals?

NICE. I don't, but I've wanted to. I'm hella busy with school and shit. Classes end in a couple weeks though, so I'm definitely gonna try to.

Thanks man! Originally wanted to go to NCR, but ended up having to pull out. Funny enough, there was a projector at the tourney I went to, and the majority of the tourney was actually just people watching the NCR stream :lol

 

[Rocwell]

So what was the upshot of that event in Moscow? Ono was supposed to make announcements about SF X Tekken and SSF4:AE on Saturday and... nothing? Or was it just more coy bullshit and cockteasing from Ono?

 

[Oichi]

Changes are out for Makoto, Gen, Abel and Blanka.

I have no time to translate this, but Makoto got buffed pretty nicely. She can now kara cancel her standing light kick!

http://www.capcom.co.jp/blog/sf4/development_blog/2010/11/22_2825.html

 

[Lost Fragment]

Very nice. That'll make karakara a hell of a lot easier. Will probably make kara back throw good too.

Eager to hear about the rest.

 

[Rocwell]

Holy shit did they give makoto a 3 frame jab??? Fucking huge if so

1000 health??? My japanese isn't great and I may just be fishing for stuff I want :lol

Oooh, nice. Things looking up for Mak. <3

My Nihongo is rusty as hell, but I think I see lots of good stuff in there... good on Capcom for bumping her health up to 1000.

 

[Lost Fragment]

Tosa crushing wave of violent attack roll is occurring faster, and easier response to wave fists.

I think this means "we made U2 faster and you can actually use it against fireballs now."

 

[jman2050]

Holy shit if they gave Makoto a 3f jab... :lol :lol :lol

 

[_Xenon_]

Blanka:

Rock crasher (close f/b.mp) has less recovery. Rock crasher -> st.jb -> roll is possible.
Slide has less activate time (the whole animation is shorter).
Forward hop has more ground frame (easier to be grabbed).

Blocked normal ball bouncing distance change: EX > mp ball > HP ball.
EX rainbow ball forward flying distance nerf
EX electricity has much less start up (better reversal I guess)

Not as bad as I thought ...

 

[_Xenon_]

Makoto & Gen's changes are fucking hard to translate ...

And Makoto gets HP buff (now 1000)???? WTF IS GOING ON??

Wow, that's huge for Mak.

 

[Lost Fragment]

It's 50 more than what she already has. Getting an exemption from the vagina tax is nice, but it's not that huge a difference imo.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Makoto lookin real nice. If U2 is faster, I wonder if you can uppercut into it without FADC/super now.

It's 50 more than what she already has. Getting an exemption from the vagina tax is nice, but it's not that huge a difference imo.

Count how many times you've lost a match on chip.

 

[jman2050]

It seems like it mentions the forward dash having less recovery but I don't know for sure. Didn't notice anything about the backdash.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Every bit of stamina matters

 

[Lost Fragment]

Count how many times you've lost a match on chip.

True, but it's still not that huge of a change.

 

["God's Beard!"]

True, but it's still not that huge of a change.

It's not really that noticeable, but it will give you that extra opportunity here and there. Combined with other changes, it could be a big thing.

 

[Lost Fragment]

Yeah, I guess I can see how it could be, since Makoto in particular can do so much burst damage.

 

["God's Beard!"]

That's the spirit! Now work on those resets, there's no time in Makoto's life for blocking!

 

[_Xenon_]

Abel:

cr.HP has smaller hitbox
tornado throw damage nerf
roll's recovery has changed (not sure about this, seems easier to punish)

U1 10% damage nerf
U2 10% damage nerf, slower startup, NO ARMOR(!!!), longer cancel recovery

 

[Lost Fragment]

U2 10% damage nerf, slower startup, NO ARMOR(!!!), longer cancel recovery

If he gets regular ultra invincibility instead, I see this being a good thing.

 

[USD]

MAKOTO

Normals
-cr.LK has more range
-st.LK is now kara-cancellable
-cr.HK attack box extended downward, and the damage box has been lowered slightly, making it easier to use as an anti-air
-cr.HP has slightly more active frames
-F+LP has a 3 frame startup (formerly 4 frames)

Specials
-EX Hayate is now armor-break, has a slightly faster startup
-Fukiage, when the arm is fully extended, the hittable box from her chest up is now barely there, while the attack box is extended downward, so there are now almost no cases where it trades or is stuffed. It still can't hit grounded opponents however. The start up for all versions have been revised (I'd assume to be faster)
-EX Tsurugi is now similar to EX Cannon Strike in what height the technique can be executed (instant EX Tsurugi?)

Ultra Combos
-UC1 damage distribution has been changed. It still does the same total damage, but the change will show its effect when the scaling kicks in.
-UC2 has a faster startup

Other
-Now has 1000 Health (up from 950)
-The movement frames for forward and back dash have been reduced very slightly (making them faster). Because of this, now HP Hayate > FADC > cr.LK (and some other normals) > LP Hayate now combos. This vastly improves her mix-up game (throw or attack?)

 

[jman2050]

It looks like there was something about karakusa at the very end there after the hayate FADC business. Anything important there?

 

[AZ Greg]

Good shit on the Abel nerfs!

And wow, just wow at Makoto. Bandwagon incoming!

 

[simtmb]

USD always delivering

Good stuff, Makoto changes are great.

 

[Lost Fragment]

-UC2 has a faster startup

This is what I wanted the most. Thank you Jesus.

-Forward and back dash are faster. Because of this, now HP Hayate FADC cr.LK (and other normals) LP Hayate now combos. This vastly improves her mix-up game (throw or attack?)

I wonder if they reduced her frame advantage on blocked lvl 2 fa. She was already like +5 on that if she forward dashed.

Wonder what this means for the frame situation after a blocked lvl 1 fa?

They need to announce the DLC already

 

["God's Beard!"]

Holy fuck new character for AE announced!






It's Makoto!

 

[DryEyeRelief]

MAKOTO

...

 

["God's Beard!"]

Vega is the new Makoto the way these changes are going, and Makoto is the new O Sagat.

Been checking over the Makoto stuff a few times (still don't think it's perfect, but it's mostly right). Going to the others.

Thanks for your work

Also, my thoughts:

 

[STG]

MAKOOOOOOOTOOOOOOOOOOOO \o/

 

["God's Beard!"]

I wonder if Karakusa, Fierce xx Hayate FADC cLK xx EX Hayate, fukiage, U2, tsurugi, EX Hayate will work with the changes.

 

[USD]

ABEL

Normals
-The second hit of cr.HP has a smaller attack box

Specials
-Tornado Throw does less damage
-Marseilles Roll's hit invincibility at the end of roll has been cut (the actual recovery is still the same).

Ultra Combos
-Soulless does 10% less damage
-Breathless does 10% less damage and has a slower startup. It no longer has Armor during his charge forward, and has more recovery on both whiff and cancel

 

["God's Beard!"]

Juicebox swapping to hard liquor confirmed.

 

[jman2050]

I wonder if Karakusa, Fierce xx Hayate FADC cLK xx EX Hayate, fukiage, U2, tsurugi, EX Hayate will work with the changes.

If you had that type of meter wouldn't just using super->U1 give you the same result?
