Pair of Rooks Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I know understand why the jumpins in this franchise has always felt off to me. Also "combo jump" is such a weird mechanic. Like, why? Edited February 18, 2023 by Pair of Rooks DoctaMario 1 Quote Link to comment

Those instant re-jumps can avoid getting grabbed out of landing recovery, or rarely avoid something just by sake of getting out of the way sooner.

Hecatom Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 24 minutes ago, DoctaMario said: Earthquake is so fun and I have no idea why lol I bet that is the fact that he breaks a lot of molds from his archetype. He can easily be considered a grappler/heavy, but he is also a good zonner and has good mixups tools that also serve to close the gap despite his slow walk movement. Or at least is how I see it based on my own experience. Quote Link to comment

He's kind of a one dimensional character here but landing that jC 5C thing, or the ninja drop or command grab just feels good. Definitely not a character I thought I'd be getting this much enjoyment out of. Quote Link to comment

It has been really a while. I used to play that game on arcades when I was studying my degree back in 2001 to 2003 when they took the cabinet away. It was the side game I played while waiting on the other games I played more seriously, like CVS2, GG, GGXX/GGXX#R, etc. Alongside DOA2Tag, it was one of those games I ended being decent because I played them a lot while waiting for the other cabs.

Jion_Wansu Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Always liked the character select screen music. In SS1 I always thought that the announcer said Wong-Foo instead of Wan-Fu. SS2 and SS3 seems like they have the same exact character select theme. DoctaMario 1 Quote Link to comment

Jion_Wansu Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Imagine SS1 version of Wong-Foo in CVS2 instead of Haohmaru. They should bring back his sword. His K-Groove meter builds up the fastest and stays powered up the longest. Not to mention those sword throw mixups and the sword dealing heavy damage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W38-O4relJY YouTube would not allow this link to be embedded.

Wan Fu's combat concept is pretty cool (throwing his weapon being a central part of his game and then having to recover it) but he's kind of a dull character. I wish they'd put someone else in SamSho7 rather than him. Genan is another character I don't understand why people constantly stan for except for hipster reasons. His weapon is cool, but it's tied to a character that would have been better left to the cutting room floor. Quote Link to comment
Jion_Wansu Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) In that video above, I didn't know that you could cancel the fierce slash (2 punch buttons at the same time) to an SRK with Wan-Fu for a good combo. Kinda like the Ryu/Ken fierce into SRK. Guess you can also cancel a move into the sword throw too. Edited June 5, 2023 by Jion_Wansu Quote Link to comment
