They seem to think that the V shift is going to benefit zoners so they nailed them with nerfs to compensate. Poison got hit way too hard compared to other characters. She wasn't even top 5.

They actually buffed Alex's lariat again.

looooooooooooooooool Can't login for some reason....

Don't like nerfs in general but........not going to pretend that I'm not happy about Bison losing his 3F lol.

Where are the patch notes at Capcom?

I played Alpha 3. The chain combos are similar - plus there's air blocking. Probably the most anime SF.

Sorry had to repost this..... BTW, every time I try to play an anime fighter I sit there in training mode unable to do a basic combo because I'm used to links. Then everything clicks once I realize I just need to press buttons like a madman.

At least they're talking about the game. They literally acted like Tekken 7 never existed.

My experience with the beta so far:

Thanks I was looking for a main.

Yeah I assumed it was the remake of Dredd that came out in 2012. Absolutely loved that movie - one of the few I've watched multiple times.

Since regular frame traps become weaker I think staggered buttons will become extremely important to apply pressure. Like Karin's cr.strong micro step cr. strong.

Strive open beta from Feb 17th-21st. Then the SF update on the 22nd. Damn, the end of February is going to be lit.

Missed the stream so thanks @EvilCanadianfor the video analysis! Wow, this winter update was much better than the summer update. Can't believe I'm saying this but Dan actually looks kind of cool. He has some technical stuff going on and unlike SFIV he's not just build around Dan kicks. Rose's character model looks terrible but it's in a work in progress so I'm sure she'll look fine on release. Her gameplay looks sick though, tarot cards, air fireball, exploding orbs. She basically has Yang's Seiei Enbu in Soul Illusion. Looking forward to trying her out. The new defensive mechanic could potentially change the entire meta game and now people can stop complaining about SFV having no defense options. This combined with the balance patch could really shake things up. Capcom actually managed to shatter all expectations for once.

Hope they don't nerf Poison. She's a cool character that is unique and adds a nice flavour to the usual stuff we see. Her overhead being -4 doesn't bother me - she has to spend meter and it is still punishable. Seth and Rashid could definitely use a few nerfs and Bison as well for just be annoying as hell to fight. Other than that I hope they keep the nerfs to a minimum and focusing on buffing for the low and mid tiers.

Oh and this just dropped....

Last time I played the servers were dead in Canada, so I had to play in the New York server. Problem was the connections to New York aren't good, whereas in SFV I can play New Yorkers just fine. I mean I don't see how anyone can defend delay based netcode . It's okay when you get someone close by but as soon as a games population begins to dwindle it becomes frustrating trying to find good quality games.

Yeah I remember some anti-backdash option selects didn't even work on her. She was like the character for all the Chun mains since Chun was so mediocre in IV. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Chun's switch over to her in V. Also, I bet Capcom is going to churn out a billion Rose costumes lol.

Soul satellite was one of the reasons I hated fighting Rose in IV. It was like the precursor to V-triggers. That said, I feel like they'll do something different with her triggers to differentiate from Menat.

Anime fighters are fighting an uphill battle from the start in the US. Throw in delay net code and covid and it's GG's. It's a shame because GBVS is actually very fun and it's the first anime game that I really got into for a while. It definitely feels like a nice blend of Street Fighter and Guilty Gear. Strive is doing things right with rollback but the spring release isn't ideal. Jiyuna actually said he wants the game delayed to the fall when hopefully locals/tournaments will be back.

I wish Samsho got rollback netcode. I'd definitely come back to it. It would be a travesty if KOF XV doesn't have it.

Why does every Ken player play like a nut? Full screen tatsu's, neutral jump shoryuken, blocked st.hk shoryuken, run throw, run vskill, meterless dp on wakeup. Bruh, I thought I was done with mashed shoryuken's during blockstrings with SF4.

Not too disappointed given Capcom Cup was already going to be kind of whack this year. I'm wondering how they're going to do this online final though? Is it going to be like DBFZ where we just get a bunch of regional champions? Not sure how they're going to do this.

Yeah, I was watching in Justin's stream and eventually fell asleep since it went on so late. I would watch a video breakdown. Even though I'm not a 3rd strike player I enjoy watching the game and would like to learn more about it.
