I figured V-Shift would be the big thing but it's the changes they made to the characters. I feel like it's a little while before we really see people really utilizing Vshift and popping off with it, anyways. Link to comment
Doctrine_Dark Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 V-Shift is really cool to use. I'm a huge fan of Bullet Time in Max Payne...and this really reminds me of that with the slowdown. Already have a few consistent punishes for certain characters now. I'm looking forward to becoming more comfortable utilizing it in the future.

HeavensCloud Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Alex is hard to place on a tier list because everyone says he's ass but he has the capability to absolutely roll you if he makes a couple good reads. I've been playing SFV for the first time since the update and haven't seen a single person use Dan or do a V Shift 🤣 HonebamiX 1 Link to comment

Landing a command grab reset Alex to neutral. However his neutral wasn't all that great. That's the biggest change they made this season. His neutral got buffed. Volt 1 Link to comment

Vhozite Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Lol Alex was bad and probably still is what are these hot ass takes? Has he been literally unplayable? No. Has there been any good reason to use him over other characters? Lol no This happens every season just like it has with Ryu. Mfs read the patch notes and one Twitter highlight from GunFight makes y’all think he’s hot until he fades into another year of obscurity. Volt and Bigtochiro 1 1 Link to comment

Volt Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 14 minutes ago, Vhozite said: This happens every season just like it has with Ryu. Nah, every season Ryu gets buffs and a fade on his St. LP hitboxes. They usually never addressed his real issues, so it was a big nothing burger and everyone knew he'd still suck. This patch he got some serious sauce. I'm not quite sure whether or not they actually make his mid-range satisfying, which was the biggest reason he sucked to play as, but now his offense is actually legit because he actually gets to do things to people that get hit crouching. VT1 is still a bust, don't let Twitter clips fool you. VT2 is more dangerous than ever, but I need to know how many VT2 hits he gets when canceling Specials into VT2 and whether or not he gets to cancel that into CA. If he can, Ryu got S1 big dog damage and might actually break into high tier. Otherwise, people will find out very quickly he got fixed, not truly buffed. Link to comment

Mattatsu Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Tubb, Pertho, and I played SG a few months ago. Had fun actually. Happy to see that pass is coming to PS4 and PS4 will be updated with the Steam version (as the PS4 has been neglected while Steam was getting updates). I may pick this up, just to fuck with and support. I do like it as a team game.... Then again, I highly doubt I’ll even play it lol. in other news I played a bit of Rev2 tonight and happy to see Millia has a lot of the same tools (even a lot of the same buttons), though she has some changes... I actually prefer her Strive version. I think I’ll mostly play Rev2until April, but who knows. kinda in a weird mood these days tbh. KingTubb, JustBooming and Shakunetsu 2 1 Link to comment

Try divekicking a Ryu or Guile and you're taking your life into your hands. Even against the chars it worked on, the damage was generally inferior to counter teleport into ground string into imagination, the real answer to fb chars. I nearly made vids on "how to have a pocket Juri" based on some of her better MUs. Presumably to followup with how to have a secondary Juri, and how to have a main Juri, but I never did. I would have started with explaining the proper usage of special moves, since hers are deceptive. Volt 1 Link to comment
Vhozite Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Lol Nash gets really good oki off Ex.Tragedy now it’s great.

KingTubb Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) 11 hours ago, Volt said: I hope SG doesn't go out sad, It's sorta passed that. SG is a cool game, but it's almost a decade old, this is the first new character in 6 years, and isn't even being made by lab zero because it dissolved after Mike Z was a stink pervert in the office. 10 hours ago, Mattatsu said: Tubb, Pertho, and I played SG a few months ago. This was around 9/10 months ago. It was around the time when there were rumors it was going to be a part of EVO online, and I wanted to enter just for the sake of being in an EVO tournament. Then we found out that Wiz, like Mike Z, it a stink pervert who was trading tokens for used underwear and dick pics or whatever. All in all, 6 years is enough time for a development crew of like 4 people to make a fighter and a full season of DLC. For example, Vanilla Skullgirls was developed in less than 3 years, and 2nd encore took 6 years from when they first started development of SG Vanilla. They did make the netcode better (yay) and added sonicfox (which pissed a lot of people off) last year. But SG really missed its chance for a resurgence last year with all the creepos ruining their momentum. Edited February 24, 2021 by KingTubb Mattatsu 1 Link to comment

They recognised they have some latent and inescapable form of idiocy since they play Dan, so they have come to the conclusion that they will never play on stream in a tournament, so it's best to share on Twitter for pixellated attention points. On a side note, taunt cancels are cool. Just wish they weren't on a dirty sock like Dan. Link to comment
