Would have liked Akuma Shun Goku Satsu being easier to link into similar to Shin Akuma and SF4O Akuma. His tier viability is fine but some new non VT2 and VS2 stuff would have been appreciated. Also, interesting VT2 change, but the non EX cancels should cost less than the EX cancels. But considering Cammy has 900 HP and Stun, making Akuma 875 health and stun but go HAM with buffs would have been a good direction. btw, love that filter. It helps make the models pop a lot more.

I wonder if it’s testing the artstyle of a future game.

As you said non ex cancels spend the same amount of V-gauge and almost always does less damage so I could only find 2 meaningful ways to use it 1. Air tatsu after dp gives a really good oki (and it is arguable whether a better oki worth the price) 2. Since VT2 cancels have better juggle properties, you can do something like *VT2 ex red fb into VS1 punch into VT2 h. DP* which allows you to do CA. That isn't possible with ex dp or ex fb cancels. (here is a cool combo that uses VT2/VS2: *v=YilrjML2wC8* ) This video taught me a 3rd one but still overall I don't think that there is much reason to pick VT2 over VT1. If only non ex cancels spent less meter, then the change would mean something. VS2 changes are huge though. It might be the better VS overall now but VS1 still has its uses which is what we all like to see. I believe you can make them both work in almost every match up but one of them is much more useful in some specific match ups than the other. For example VS1 is quite good against Cammy while VS2 is very good against characters that struggle against fireballs in general. (I couldn't use VS2 against Guile effectively the other day but I am not sure if it is due to my inexperience with it or not)

As someone who plays primarily 3s akuma, hearing that he can now cancel a red fireball from a light that combos blows my mind (in 3s you can only achieve this thru crouching fierce and light red fireball in which the damage sucks)

Other than combo potential, another thing that's pretty cool about VT2 cancels is the ability to cancel from normals that aren't normally cancelable. There's actually some really cool routes off of CC s.HP specifically, but just having s.HP BE cancelable into stuff other than the s.HP xx s.HP TC is super cool.

Those Lucia notes are going to be real interesting.

I think akuma now is way better. But still his health is too low and his normals got nerfed from last patch. As well as air ex fireball. In spite of all that, this VS2 fireballs are crazy, they are so fast and so juggly, you can literally dash and get a full heavy dp damage which is great. You can hit confirm it but is also safe on block.

cody

2:55 ?

having used VT2 a lot in the past, i'm not sure where i come down on these changes. the new stuff it has is REALLY cool, but the main issue i saw with the trigger in the past was specifically the amount of timer the specials cost. it's always had plenty of strong things it could do, but the inflexibility of the high cost of VT2 specials means it is VERY unlikely you will get what is technically the full value of the trigger from activating it, unless you hit your opponent IMMEDIATELY after the activation. OTOH, the new cancels mean each individual use of the trigger is more likely to be exactly what you want with less compurrmise fur damage or oki in a lot of key scenarios, so maybe it all works out, especially if the VS2 buffs make it more likely that you could potentially get a second one (though that seems like an unlikely scenario)

@DEClimax

2 жыл бұрын

i didn't think it was bad fwiw, it was just a weird way the trigger worked. you can technically get 3 specials out of it but the length of the combos means your window to do it is REALLY tight, so it's effectively a 2-use trigger most of the time.

Waiting for Oro, so you can explain to me why he is so cool

I wish everybody got a patch like this. Some characters like Vega still have half or even no good V-System.

I'm gonna be real, if SFV characters allowed you to start a match with a full bar of v-trigger, giving you the option to go crazy early on or take the risk and take damage/ use your v-skill to increase your v-trigger time by a reasonable amount, the game would be so much more fun to play. EDIT: Actually, if I'm being honest I just think v-trigger versions of the characters are just more fun to play than their base forms. It'd even be fine if they toned it down a little in some way, like cooldowns for v-trigger abilities or something. Seeing Akuma's new vt2 stuff is legitimately cool then I remembered he has to wait for v-trigger to do it, and he has a very limited amount of time to make use of it.

Honestly sans the dumb lion design akuma was pretty…status quo in V? Like he’s not absurd like second impact or 4 or surprisingly just good at best like 3s or straight up bad like in mvc2. Akuma really whelmed me this game. He’s almost boring how by the books he is here which is weird because every other shoto wanted to reinvent themselves to a degree and akuma just wanted to be top 5, which he usually already was. He didn’t really do anything all that crazy compared to earlier games. At most the only strong opinions I have about akuma in this game was aesthetically he kinda sucked. I already mentioned the Lion bs but this may be the single worst rendition of the demon by far. I hope they do something more extravagant in 6, I’d hate for street fighters most iconic antagonist to just be a prop to be brought back to keep people at peace. I doubt capcom would do that honestly but I can’t deny the idea of them dropping balls being plausible even with a new team at the helm.

I think a lot of this opinion is because V is such an offense focused game that a character like akuma who’s all offense and neutral normally probably just sucks at being memorable now because he’s not only rewarded for just being himself a lot of his identity is more homogeneous with the rest of the cast now.
