Holy shit.

C.Viper:
• Adjusts to some moves, like Burning Kick, where you now have less frame advantage when blocked. You'll probably have disadvantage on block.
• Tweaked Crouching Medium Punch as well, buffed 'hit priority' (I think they mean by more range or hit box or something like that), so it'll be more useful as a poke.

Seth:
• His Teleport has more recovery frames.
• Nerfed his Jumping Hard Punch, both straight up and jump back, in terms of 'hit priority'.
• His Ultra 2's main uses are anti air, chip damage and for combos.

Fuck this game.

Those nerfs to Viper seem a tad unfair... although I guess you have to balance out the fact that her rush down is pretty damn scary, especially now that reversals are less of a threat

Abel:
• Falling Sky is easier to throw now.
• Buffed his sweep. They said the move will now hit where it missed by a tiny bit in vanilla Street Fighter 4.
• Faster Far Standing Light Punch. They also mention that Abel is a character whose normals are strengthened overall.

Fuck yes. Better sweep and falling sky properties are EXACTLY what I was wishing for for Abel. Far standing light punch getting a little buff too is a welcome addition... It's a hugely important normal in the Akuma match up (where he needs a bit of help) and having stronger normals I guess is kinda nice, even though his normals are really awesome as it is.

I'm. Fucking. HYPE

Oooh, also...

• He can CANCEL his Ultra 2. They specifically said he can just not perform the move when the player knows it'll not hit the opponent.

Can't wait to start fucking around with all the shenanigans... CoD xx FADC, U2 cancel, Tornado throw. LOL

Hey Alan, many people on the eventhubs forums (had a look on it last week) are saying Seth is gonna be S-Tier by himself. I have no idea why though.

[fluxcore]

Nah, everything I'm reading on srk sounds bad.

[Chuckk]

this game does not need more s. jab ultra links. ffs.
