Some highlights for Darkesword: Makoto's EX Hayate now an armor/focus breaker.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo

Wait, I under stand breaking focus, but ARMOR? That's kind of cheap now. How are you supposed to not get hit by it then? Jumping over it requires killer reflexes.

[DarkeSword]

Parry it.

Oh wait.

[Bleck]

maybe instead of making her good move better they could have made her shitty moves good

[BardicKnowledge]

You can block it normally -- it will just beat moves that absorb one hit (Balrog's EX rushes, etc)

Parry it.

Oh wait.

I'm all for giving Makoto (and only Makoto) the ability to parry fireballs actually. IMO she'll be decent with the new changes but still not good enough. Does EX rush punch go through them currently? That could be a decent alternative.

I thought you said it had armor break

Nope. And yes, she really needs pass-through for EX Hayate.

Too bad the engine isn't coded to allow "beats fireballs but loses to sweeps" at the same time. IMO that'd be the ideal place for the move.

Edit: Actually, it has to allow for this, considering Fei Long's EX Chicken Wing. I'm stupid.

EX Hayate going through fireballs makes it an almost no risk move... I don't like that. The fact that it's an extremely fast linear attack with great distance and big followup options alone is powerful.

I personally just like that when I do a focus attack on it, it leaves Shariq all disgruntled and I can follow up with a waterfall kick or just a plain grab. Gen ftw

[BardicKnowledge]

I really need to get back into playing the game. Somebody hit me up on IRC sometime next week

[Malaki-LEGEND.sys]

Don't feel too bad, Hawk. I have to wait for who-knows-how-long just for them to announce the PC version.

Yeah, Ono and one of the Capcom USA heads keep saying they won't be considering it right now due to "piracy on the platform", but Hideo Kojima keeps saying he'll never make another Metal Gear, so I can't really trust what game devs say these days. Besides, piracy is a bullshit argument for anything. I also wouldn't be surprised if they're keeping it on the down low since the "arcade" version(which runs on Windows XP) isn't out yet.

3DS release and no PC? Pfft. Like that'll happen.

BUT on 360 it won't let you download it so i Quote the following public service announcement from Capcom-Unity;

"Hi everyone. Just a quick PSA that there is a problem with the newly released SSFIV 'Ultra Challengers Pack 1' & 'Ultra Costume Catalog 1' DLC on Xbox Live.

Although you can pay for it at the moment you aren't able to download it. Microsoft is currently looking into the issue and is attempting to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Don't worry if you have already paid for the pack, you will be able to download it once the issue is resolved!

Thanks very much."
