It seems like Potemkin is in rough shape with the loss of Slide Head and the change in FRC timing of Hammerfall. Even FAB can't get much going against Nage's Faust whenever he gets an opening.

The FRC timing change is weird... he still doesn't look like he has it down 100%?

Other than that, I think that's the only matchup that looks a lot worse, he looks fine otherwise and Faust will likely just be his new problem child rather than just an uphill fight.

Edit: The introduction of Kliff and Justice could be problematic though, and make him worse overall.

Yea that's me. They chose 2 of my worst matches all night. I won like 80% of my fights and they pick the one where I do random accidental scalpel super out of no where and accidental point blank teleport in the corner lol!

That Jam player is pretty good though and was beating me more than I beat him in all fairness.

As for the Sol, I played him a bunch and I think that was the only match I lost to him all night...

I will probably play at Platon again next weekend so there may be more vids. Hopefully next time they choose good ones :P

I guess Heven isn't just a gimmick player after all... I didn't know he had it in him to take 1st place after being nerfed out of his signature technique. His victories (on screen, at least) were against FAB, AGF, Kazuki and Nage. That's a fairly tough regimen, and yet he pulled it off.

Also Jonio still seems to need improvement, despite having leveled up a bit since his "ow, he into pot and died" days.

Fujiyoshi, the JO player in 2012/10/20 Mikado videos was really fun to watch. He seems a mix between Satou and Jonio...

Jonio did try to play like DC on a few occasions at Mikado. Probably just for teh lolz.

He also has a move named "Jonio Special", which is basically 6K FRC 2HS.

Judging from recent match vids, it seems that Kliff is not going to break the game after all.

On the side note, AGF Anji has been really impressive in recent weeks.

Unless he got some kind of nerf, he can still take off 80% with a throw near corner and 50% tension, which i don't think should be allowed,.but i have noticed he hasn't been doing well lately.

People have probably been adapting to Kliff and are starting to find some countermeasures. He's cheap as hell but not foolproof either, kind of like AC Slayer was.

Posted

From a THROW though. Also he gets another 25% tension from doing it, and combo gets cut short because Ky's dead. I mean yeah I'm sure people are adapting, but he would have to be a really terrible character before I would say this kind of damage is acceptable. He's not going to ruin the game for me or anything, but if I had my preference, I'd want something to be done about this.

Hey Mike, from your experience, what do you think the most "broken" thing in the game is anyway?

Posted

I don't think Kliff is so good to the point where he ruins the game but he IS really damn strong and I don't see his S tier status changing. I also can see why Zappa is so good. I played a lot of matches against a pretty solid Zappa yesterday and he really is a pain in the ass to deal with now. Sword is just so good now and it gives orbs so fast and easy and Roah is even better now too so those 2 things alone make Zappa super good. Ghosts are still really powerful and the garbage from them seems buffed. Dog might have been slightly nerfed but its still really powerful. I still have not played the game enough to really say what hands down the most broken things are yet.

Yes, but he needs to be close to the corner AND to have 50% tension. Don't get me wrong, he's definitely in there in the top bunch and certainly not going to go down and being an easy character to play as makes things look worse. But if Kliff is branded as gamebreaking what should we say about Eddie in AC?

Edit : Also for the post stun combo, this needs to be confirmed but I'm not sure 6HS max charge works as a starter if the opponent can get out of stun fast enough. And this is a big deal because if 6HS isn't max charged, the opponent doesn't float and you don't have a tension-free 236S into 5K followup combo.

The Mikado JO match videos have a stupid bar which happens to completely obscure the tension meters, which kind of makes it difficult to keep track of that end of things... >_<

I thought 6h was special cancelable on hit at any level. I'm sure you can mash out, but it looks kind of hard to be able to do it fast enough every time. Oh well, maybe i am making too big of a deal out of it.

Posted

You can special cancel it at any time, but only when it's fully charged do you get the float that lets you follow up the 236S with 5K to do the air combo into knockdown. With that in mind, a 6H xx 236S still does crazy damage anyhow.

Okay, looks like I was wrong about the JO matches... I guess the bar goes away. After actually watching the whole thing...

Dayum, dat Fujiyoshi! Get hype for +R Johnny!
