Vegas Fight Club build changes:

Sagat:

+ Standing light kick now hits twice.

Wtf? Good to see his HP and TU damage reduced slightly. A small step in the right direction.


Akuma

+ New Ultra: Demon Armageddon. Up, Up + 3x Kick command. Doesn't seem to have many ways to combo into it, can't be used as anti-air. Also will miss crouching opponents.

The Akuma nerfs i agree with, but THAT is pretty fucking lame.


Gouken

+ New Ultra: Denjin Hadoken. This can be charged up so it's unblockable like Ryu's Denjin Hadoken in Third Strike. If you don't charge it up, it's blockable though.

Good to see this is unblockable. Must not have been fully charged in the video we all saw. If the setups are easy like 3S, this will be a scrubkiller.


Awesome Abel changes too. He's shaping up well.


Id say a lot of changes were missed though, but for the most part, its looking pretty good i reckon.

The two hits on the standing light kick will more than likely mean he can't cancel the second hit into specials. Pretty decent nerf as this will limit his tiger knee lockdown and footsies.

Yea ben i thought of that after i posted it. Definitely a significant nerf.

I'm kinda two minds about Akuma....I don't think he should've been as nerfed as he was.....with the damage he takes and all, it is a challenge to get near the fucker but when you do he takes damage like a bitch....he needs those tricks to get in, attack and get the hell outta there.....I don't really use Akuma, but I've fought against some good players and he can be deadly in the right hands...but it does take skill to pull those combos off....

Looks like Sagat also has a new move, he clutches his scar and he flashes yellow - it's some kinda charge move (kinda like Juggernauts) I think it gives him extra strength for a short period of time.....does anyone else know anything about this?

[fluxcore]

He had a powerup move in some other street fighter as well, can't remember which. A3 perhaps? Sounds stupid enough to be in that game, lol

As for the lk hitting twice, yeah you better hope it's not O.Sagat cancellable! I thought his cr.lk was more of a problem than s.lk though? Not that I play against any sagats. Or SF4.

Think it was Alpha 2.....easy on the Alpha 3 fulla it's close to my heart 

It seems to have invincibility frames in Super....could be useful.

He does the power up in alpha 3.

Only works in A-ism.

I knew you'd know about this 

What properties did it have?

It's called "Tiger Charge" and is done with QCF+Start.  It makes the next Tiger Uppercut do double damage.  In Alpha 3 it didn't have the "dodge" that it appears to have in SSFIV.

Hmmmm, interesting.

Thanks Lenny,

We should have another Alpha warm up jam to get used to the new Alpha additions dude....I know you know a few more tricks with Guy, Adon, & Cody....

I'll be at Yifans on Fri arvo if your down....

Akuma is 'ok' at low level play, only because these players will be getting hit a lot more, so the health is far more significant an issue. At high level play he dominates the entire cast. That includes Sagat. But because of sagats current damage, hes still a higher tier because he just has to land one combo and its game over.

Gene you should get GGPO and jump on with us for the ST/Alpha awesomeness.

Hmmm yeah, when someone knows their shit wif Akuma he can dominate....I've been on the receiving end of at least one Akuma beatdown....not sure what hue's mates name is but his Akuma styles were tricky....

Sounds tempting man...I haven't played Alpha against a real opponent in forever....

[[NIUE] B1ackstar Ninja]

yeah why dont you just get ggpo then you can play as much as you want without dropping coins into the arcade . And you can play leo from home .
