jimmy Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 My question is whether or not there will be US Wald players after being scarred by ct tager I didn't ever want to play a grappler again, but Wald is looking hot as fuck, he's prob third on my playlist if my other other choices don't pan out
SoWL Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah, I'm totally going to give Wald a try (but only after Merkava), though I just haven't watched too many matches to write anything good for him, especially with little to no knowledge of the general metagame. The single fact that he can combo his throws makes him amazing in my eyes, at least.
Stellarcircle5 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Can't wait for the Merkava and Yuzu army. I'm not sure if the Merkava army will be a thing, but good god the Yuzu army is already amassing. It's going to be terrible.
Skyheartxia Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Hoping the new character is character is Gordeau's friend Bob. Bob would be hype. I'm not sure if the Merkava army will be a thing, but good god the Yuzu army is already amassing. It's going to be terrible. i wish these people truly comprehended the horror of Yuzu mirrors. instantly learning a sub to avoid this.
TheArm05 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Meh the Yuzu army will dissipate rather quickly. Stance characters scare away bandwagoners quickly. Also you have to pick your buttons pretty carefully with her and she has no reversal. The Gordeau army is what I truly fear. Grim Reaper is Grim Reaper no matter who is mashing it.
Turbovec Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I'm not sure if the Merkava army will be a thing, but good god the Yuzu army is already amassing. It's going to be terrible. I'm honestly expecting the Yuzu and Sion armies since a lot of the people importing this game are Melty fans.

Skyheartxia Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Whats wrong with the hyde army?;/ nothing at all just expressing the horror of the yuzu mirror where all you hear is 'shooto!' constantly
D.R.F. Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Lol. Honestly though that Yuzu stance zoning is gonna be a pain. Ill take the merkava army any day, especially since a lot of my friends will play him lol
Skyheartxia Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Lol. Honestly though that Yuzu stance zoning is gonna be a pain. Ill take the merkava army any day, especially since a lot of my friends will play him lol shes pretty fun, lol. luckily no one truly gets stuck behind it like 'i cant do anything'. haha i was expecting a waldstein army honestly but luckily not!!
TAI-X Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 If BB's Tager is any indication, Waldstein is going to be heavily used by US netplayers. He's the most "badass" of the cast, is less reliant on long combos, and his moveset will likely prove to be advantageous within lag, as Tager's is. Of course there will also be Gordeau scythe spammers, and the requisite shoto scrubs attempting to play Hyde and Akatsuki like Ryu/Ken. The character balance has changed so frequently across the game's arcade history, that I'm probably not going to have any idea of who I want to main until I actually have it in my hands.

Stein is nowhere near as bad as CT tager, and his command grabs dont do enough damage to warrant scrub killing tactics excessively. I must say imo if you dont have decent combos, even with the necessary fixes this game had, its gonna be a rough road

I just want to see the face of a tager player when they play Wald "he does damage, has comboable grabs and good KD, AND SOME OF HIS HUGE NORMALS ARE + ON BLOCK?" *brain melts*
Surf Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Wald looks like a really solid character. One of the few grapplers done the right way. Or rather Tager is one done the wrong way..
Sadeyo Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I'm honestly expecting the Yuzu and Sion armies since a lot of the people importing this game are Melty fans. Oh shit! They're onto us!

Akujikan Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Honestly, I'm such a fan of so many of the character designs in this game that I'm really not sure who will be getting the majority of my attention. From the get go Hyde, Carmine, and Seth have all stood out to me, but only some hands-on will really decide it for me since I'm interested in a longer list of characters than not.
Angel-tastic Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Heh, I was going to play Yuzuriha, but apparently you need to be able to hold A, B, and C all at the same time to do her stance combos/setups, and I don't have an arcade stick. Maybe I could make the right triggers A and B and then use buttons for C and D or something?

Maybe I could make the right triggers A and B and then use buttons for C and D or something? I think you only have to hold the buttons if you want to be in the stance for a prolonged period of time without doing anything, like just teleporting and jumping around. From what I've read and seen, it looks like you can just go right into another stance special or end the stance entirely by pressing D. Though I may be mistaken, so someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Sourenga Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Hoping the new character is character is Gordeau's friend Bob. Bob would be hype. French Bread said ages ago that Bob is dead and not coming back... apparently you need to be able to hold A, B, and C all at the same time to do her stance combos/setups You don't need to hold down a button to stay in the the stance. Use a stance move -> hold down some button -> stance activates -> you're free to do what you want with with her limited stance move set.

Use a stance move -> hold down some button -> stance activates -> you're free to do what you want with with her limited stance move set. Alrighty, thanks for the correction! So if I were to cycle through each of her different 236 attacks, I'd have to do it 236A, hold A, 236B, hold B, and then end with 236C? Sadly there really isn't an in-depth guide on how she works, just movelists. T-T
