That's true- would be useful. Then again there is some novelty in screaming halfway through a random match to a spectator buddy in the lobby " WHAT'S HIS ULTRA??? IS IT PUNCHES OR KICKS?"

"ITS KICKS- IM PRETTY SURE!"

K.O!

"It was punches you wally"

Hope you guys had a nice xmas!

Ooh, so, watching the youtube archive of the team spooky Chirstmas Eve stream I learnt a little about what's to come. First of all, people think that the AE download is going to come on the 11th of June 2011. Apparently there's some kind of international AE release planned in March, and there's conjecture more new characters will be revealed then. There's also the fact that there is a password option in the system menu, which is definitely suggestive of more characters. For some reason which is unexplained they think there'll be more than just Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma to come.

Also; Yang's Ultra 1 is so fucking badass.

EDIT: And apparently Zangief and T. Hawk are going to be top 5. Green Hand and Lariat are supposedly improved. Deejay, Makoto, Hakan, Cody, T. Hawk (and any of the characters introduced in Super) are the most improved apparently. Oh god I want this game so bad.

Is this all still just from what Henry Cen said the other day? I can believe it though, it certainly makes sense for Capcom - June makes it just over a year since Super came out and they could feasibly do it as DLC and a new disc at retail.

For $20/1600MSP like he was saying though I'm going to need more than just two extra characters, a new Sim combo and a few of my favourites nerfed so let's hope he's right about that password system.

I bought that app a couple of days ago. Certainly useful for last minute how do you do their ultra stuff at the least. It shows cancellable moves which is good - I'll delve into it properly soon I suspect.

It is indeed disgustingly ugly mind.

Edit: waiting til June for AE will be frustrating. Just seeing the two weeks worth of Gouken vids that are floating about now has got me itching to try out some new shit.

They keep on saying that it's harder to turtle in AE, but I'm not 100% convinced. I think this is based on the idea that rushdown characters seem to be GDLK, and most of the charge characters have taken considerable nerfs to stop them being so safe (and they seem to take more counter hits - for more damage). Still looks like mashing through blockstrings is a valid tactic though. :( Yang's command grab beating out regular throws is going to be a particular nuisance!

I'm pretty glad elements of Honda, Guile and Boxer's games are far more unsafe (judging from the commentary) though. That should take some of my biggest frustrations away. :)

EDIT: for clarity;

Honda - no more LP Headbutt anti-airs. All round damage nerfs.

Guile - Damage nerfs. Takes counter hits on sonic booms now, so he will take more damage. (People will just jump in on him all day).

Boxer - Headbutts are really unsafe now.

Good tip Naryan - definitely 1p worth of goodness in there!

The Cammy boards on SRK are now producing salt on an industrial level. Obviously I am disappointed that it seems she has been nerfed so hard, but the way people are going on about it is just ridiculous - complaining on the Capcom Unity boards and signing petitions to get her changed, it's all a little tragic.

Vega fans got on with it in Vanilla, same deal with Guile fans - and that shit was harsh. Gens coming from Vanilla to Super basically watched their character drop to the very bottom of the tiers - and 3S Makoto players moving to Super must have been pretty sick about how she was realised.

It's just part of the update fun no? Who got nerfed who got buffed. There is no place for tears.

Signing petitions is just ludicrus!

I'm sure it changes is her pressure game but I watched Cammy God Joffo with a wonderful mixup using ex TKCS during some pressure play which made me think she can still bait and trick with the ex version, she just can't do it relentlessly as it costs metre.

Makoto on the other hand, I'm starting to fear people will be turning up in droves!

I'm watching vids and people at literally running in fear from her pressure!

vs Claw - ex kara karakusa in effect

vs Gouki - Fukiage beat demon flip!

vs Gouken - Cale, prime reason not to use ultra 2 against Gouken

vs Ryu - he's got no answer except run

Awesome stuff in the Gouken vid. Nice.

I'm heading on now. Going to be practicing my Makoto and Abel stuff, trying to be deliberate with my inputs and finally hit the combos I fail on every fucking time. Anyone mashing DP against me today is going to win and win big.

Most of T Hawk's buffs look legit (Jumping back Condor, EX Condor without needing SRK). I'm not sure they needed to beef up his Ultras though.

Might jump on later for some mashed out SPDs if anyone's about?

Get into our lobbies fam.

Plenty of the girls round here have Hawk love.

I don't. In fact I hate you a little bit in advance for the buffered spinnie tommas I will eat in between my missed links.

Just beat WorstGiefEver's 12k Gief in ranked with my lowly 2k Honda. I swear I used EX Ochio to grab him right out of the air a few times. I got a couple of headbutts in where it was clear he was going for instant air Siberian Blizzard, but didn't quite manage in time. Lucky win!

I beat him only using The Boot and my boyish good looks.

I never come up against these legends of XBL when I play. Probably something to do with me never playing ranked after getting my shining C. Maybe I should, but there's always someone playing SSFIV when I come on, and I'd much rather start a lobby than start getting salty playing people who are going to expose my bad bad links. :(

Wow, Zangief's new LP SPD range is horrific. Nice for Akuma his Ultra 2 got so buffed though. :)

Poor Rose isn't quite as scary as before though, with her Ultra 2 being nerfed pretty hard. As well as what's shown on the video, if she tries it on wake up, you can throw her for free now too.

I seem to recall playing a few Ranked games the other night. I haven't played much online for ages so I must have been bored. I think I took my Ibuki out and wavered around the precipice between C and C+ again :( before switching to Abel and trying to do endless LK Marseilles Rolls through fireballs.

Because obviously nearly every opponent was a shoto. :(

Hmmm I'm not sure I like that Gouki ultra 2 buff...

I think being able to read the teleport on wakeup and punishing it is valid pressure play, but now it looks like it'll be super safe, which will be annoying for ever pinning him down.

That SPD range is obscene! One of the things I loved about him in 2 was how far you could grab people from.

Edit - Looks like Yang has some Geneijin type combo'ing from his super too! This will make things interesting, being able to juggle combo with Yun was always his Ace in the hole...

Shit that didn't even dawn on me - pretty big buff I imagine. Will stuff loads of the anti-teleport option selects that better people than me like to drop on the regular. What other changes were made to Akuma?

Oh and Chun's Ultra dropping people is just silly.

Yes it is. :angry:

Where was everyone yesterday anyway? I mean I had a great run of games on ranked and endless, finishing off with a 3AM Joffo lobby that went until after 4, but you other folks were ABSENT.

Has anyone fought Nicot1ine? He was in our lobby for a time and his Juri is pretty vicious. Some staggeringly sexy Feng Shui Engine combos too. The only downside is that he quit as soon as he got dethroned, which is lame. We were doing the "random select vs lobby tyrant" thing, and Joffo took him down with some smart Dan play in the end, including punishing one of the guy's not-a-true-block-string pressure strings that he'd shown us one time too many by focus crumpling him during the interruptable bit. Danloaded!

Also played with JimBo Drewbacca for a while. He's handy with a few characters and is one of the people who beat me at SVB. Nice chap for the most part, though he was discouraging us from playing random select and I don't generally like people commenting on my lifestyle choices.

Overmostheads is insane. I don't know why he plays me. I guess he relishes picking up that 1 BP and 1 PP each and every time. One day I'll take him and his godforsaken Dhalsim down.

I was on during the day yesterday, desperately hoping one of you lot would save me from the rage I was reeling from courtesy of ranked. I was so annoyed with myself yesterday. My hands and brain are so completely divided sometimes that I swear I might as well just slap the buttons and waggle the stick like a three year old and I'd probably get similar results to now. All the theory fighter in the world can't help you when you've got dicks for fingers.

Edit: I did play Hegg's Rufus in ranked at one point. He hit me when I was taunting. But apologised afterwards and let me jab him to even up the health. Gent that he is.

Sorry JLM, I was out last night. I suppose I could have come on once I got back, but I still haven't sorted out getting out the old CRT and I'll be damned I use the laggy LCD for fighting games.

I was reading a translated article of impressions from the top Japanese players about AE, and I clicked the link to the original to check out the embedded videos.

I noticed they had portraits for these dudes, which were quite funny.
