On the flip side, Gief used v-shift full screen to punish Dhalsim full screen for a knockdown in the footage. V-shift the answer to Seth axe kick?

I wonder what the different strength versions of Rose Soul Throw do, since she no longer jumps into the air. Maybe different spacing on hit? One does a side swap perhaps? I know EX does a wall-bounce and beats air fireballs. All versions definitely look like they have some upper body invul.

Birdie does a CC to Sakura when they were showing off Rose's stage.

Looks like Juri VT2 gives her free full fuha stocks on activation.

Eleven isn't even a character, he's just a glorified random select. Good news is he doesn't take up the 5th DLC character slot, that's still open. Makoto fans continue to hope.

Remember the part of the Dan gameplay when he did wake-up v-shift into Critical Art? You don't need to commit to wake up CA anymore. Do a v-shift to dodge, then if you see them doing something, spend the bar.

Watching the Rose footage again, some more observations: She has both forward hard kick as well as standing hard kick, which appears to hop forward a bit. She seems to have 3 standing medium kicks. There's her long range medium kick, her hopping close medium kick that beat throws in previous games, and I also saw a standing knee that she combo'd off of. Her standing hard punch seriously looks like it has more range than Poison's. Slide looks totally intact. At one point they popped Soul Satellite then did the slide for a surprise low combo.

ROSE HAS AN AIR FIREBALL. It shoots down, with the angle depending on the button. Soul satellite is her v-skill 2. Tap once for one orb, hold for a second. They revolve and have hitboxes. V-skill 1 is a tarot card summon. Looks like she might summon a random card, which she can then use to buff herself, or throw at the opponent to debuff them. She also has a trap move, where she places an orb on the screen that detonates after time. Returning moves include soul sprial and soul throw with different animations. Get a wallbounce off of EX soul throw. V-shift uses one v bar to dodge backwards fully invincible. Can then respond with any attack to punish unsafe whiffed attacks, or input a specific v-attack move that quickly busts through whatever they're doing with apparent invincibility.

I mean, with the new V-shift it might now be. Maybe one of his triggers is and one isn't so you can choose.

Dan looked like one of the most fun and creative characters in the game. I love it. I did notice we didn't see Rose use a reflect. Doesn't mean she doesn't have it, but with a fireball, a trap, and an air fireball I don't think she'll be struggling in full screen fireball wars either way. I'm losing my mind thinking of what you can do with a V-SKILL SOUL SATELLITE

They did during the balance patch portion, but I don't know enough about Nash to tell what's different. Looks like he combo'd off of V-skill 1 though.

V-shift looks rad, and it's going to add a whole extra layer to the game. It's a defensive mechanic that encourages V use, which means it's going to disproportionately help those "weaker" characters with less powerful v-triggers, since they've have more freedom to use it.

V-SHIFT WHAT

Anyone else seeing Dan with a 1 bar v-trigger right now...

It definitely looks slower than Nash. Plus maybe that means they finally buffed him to match this. I noticed some new stuff in that Birdie vs Sakura footage. Her df hard kick definite didn't used to work as an anti-air with juggle properties.

Air soul spark. V-Skill Soul Satellite. Her back medium kick is back. A new trap move. I love it.

I mean, I feel like I at least have been pretty upfront about that since the beginning 😆 Anyway, I don't think that data-mined outfit is her default. My bet is it's the outfit she wears during the SFV story scenes she's appeared in.

I'm so ready.

Rose trailer on Thursday pls. I told myself I'd just take a break from fighting games until she drops, but I'm feeling the itch to play again. Give me something to analyze over and over until she releases.

Coming back to all these Avatar clips made me happy. They could definitely keep the non-bending characters interesting. Give me Asami as an agile grappler/counter character with a disabling electric gauntlet. Oh and her super is running you over with a race car.

I'd be lying if I said I haven't spent hours fantasizing about an Avatar/Korra fighting game. Katara with a bloodbending level 3 super, Uncle Iroh breathing fire on people, Varrick and Zhu Li in a mech...my boy Bolin, slinging some lava.

Unlocked the new Cammy costume, and playing her a bit for the first time since season 2. Forgot how easy it was to do operate her basic gameplan at lower levels.

Losing two close rounds to Birdie ex jump grab is a special kind of demoralizing.

Nice you must defeat your Mom.
