Bea_Iank Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Flying headbutt into VT2 ex Borscht Dynamite is 33 damage more and 120 stun more than raw VT2 ex Borscht Dynamite. And way harder to land. Fully charged st hp CC xx VT ex SPD is 436 damage rather than 457 damage now. So still worth using it for raw damage against blocked wake up ex DPs.

misterBee Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 I like watching people online panic over the new patch. Should be interesting. GetTheTables 1 Link to comment
The_Weasel Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 This is easily the stupidest patch I've ever seen in a major fighting game. Capcom have no idea what the absolute hell they're doing anymore and have never had any understanding as to what balance is in a fighting game. *Looks over the patch notes more closely* Man, Ed looks too damn good on paper to ignore. Cammy too. Link to comment
GetTheTables Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Not that it is any excuse, but Capcom has a long history of fucked up balance cycles. SFV is sort of tame by comparison to some previous game cycles so far as I can tell but it is still absolutely Capcom balancing at work. After the patch I am still sort of stuck between characters. The funny part is that it doesn't matter who I pick, they all lose to Guile, Cammy, and Menat who sure as fuck aren't going anywhere. Link to comment
mykka Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I never fight any Menat's so she's not a problem for me. Guile and Cammy on the other hand... Link to comment
Bea_Iank Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I get Menat every so often. She was a major pain to fight with Gief and now I am 100% sure she is a 8-2 mu for him. Luckily, she seems to be only 6-4 against Sakura. Link to comment
GetTheTables Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yeah Menats can be relatively rare online depending on the league level. I've run into only a couple since she came out. Cammy is still sort of common but there is an ocean of Guile at early Gold. Guarding the gates with sawnic bewms. Darc_Requiem, TWINBLADES and The_Weasel 2 1 Link to comment

The Guile player in my little local scene uses Flash Kicks more, but yeah I can't go more than five minutes at a tournament without hearing sawnic bewms. Link to comment
TWINBLADES Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 League is def a factor in who you fight on a constant basis. Menat has no middle ground player pool. Most Menats sub Plat are waifu lords and most Menats above Plat are good waifu lords. If you look on CFN and select last 24 hours while searching for Menat you'll still see plenty of people that are too scared to take their Menat out of casuals/lobbies. There was this one Ultra Diamond Menat I ran into allot in S2 named Exis_And and he was fucking good. But if I took games off him he would tea bag me lmao And yeah Guile is gonna gate keep the fuck outa most players trying to move up in rank. Link to comment
Bea_Iank Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Guile ex flash kick buff is reason enough for me to never bring Gief into ranked again. That thing is a "you lose" card for Gief. Link to comment

Unfortunately for the grapplers ArcSys also makes beastly other archetypes of characters so it's a simlar struggle in their games as it is in SFV, just faster and with more mobility. Link to comment

Bea_Iank Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Well, back to bronze leagues, but I am learning Sakura and it has been fun. I just need to get rid of that square gate so I can input DP motions more reliably. Link to comment
GetTheTables Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Learning a new character can be rough that way. Every time I switch chars I always end up hitting the other character's buttons in the wrong "right" situations. Really fun with AAs. Also for the last few matches I totally forgot that they changed Menat's inputs on some of her specials. That was a fun thing to figure out. Bea_Iank 1 Link to comment
Bea_Iank Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I just decided to woman up and hit ranked even with my Sakura in that state. I will be back to silver ranks in no time. Fundamentals will bring me there now that I am understanding Sakura's tools better. Then to gold and further it will be a matter of execution. GetTheTables 1 Link to comment

GetTheTables Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Menat's costume looks nice in game. Helps that she had the Egyptian theme anyways. The one thing is that the skin makes her orb look weird. Like it is made out of paper mache. Link to comment
Bea_Iank Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 That Menat skin looks really good in-game indeed. Juri's also looks pretty nice, but the one I fought was using the boob code. Link to comment

Neclord Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 About the Juri outfit: Tbh small boobs are fine, medium boobs are fine, big boobs are fine. I mean people already know which type I prefer but honestly even though I like them big I like having lots of different body types and SF is doing a good job in that regard imo. Menat for example looks super cute and has the perfect size for her body. Bigger breasts would look silly on her. For Laura/Mika/Chun it's fine, because they are muscular amazons and quite tall (+thicc) compared to other females. With Juri, she has medium sized breasts in SFV and I think most people just think it looks weird if you take that away from her in 1 outfit. If you want to create a character with the lilith costume chest size that's totally fine! But don't change a character later on where the chest size is already set in stone. Stay true to the character. That's just my opinion. Old_One, Onyxe and TWINBLADES 2 1 Link to comment

Makrow Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Holy shit. Capcom buffed the everloving shit out of Balrog. Thanks to the Screw Smash buff he has the possibility of a near 500 damage combo off of one CC and you end up having to guess what he'll do next. Then with his command grab, instead of being back in neutral you get a +8 frame advantage? You're going to have people scared of him now. TWINBLADES 1 Link to comment
