Same here. The animation even looks the same as Ryu's. But then he does a clothesline, flash chop and super.

I dunno. In SF4, when they did move swaps, they had to swap entire movelists. Maybe they figured out how to swap individual moves in SF5.

fozzy fosbourne posted:

I'd guess it's set to infinite so it wouldn't be possible in an actual match

e: Well, it does actually begin to drain later, though... Jesus Christ, imagine if doing a parry actually refills your V-meter...

Parry only happens during v-trigger and it's an aesthetic, that's actually armor during his clothesline startup

I see. Still really cool, though. Despite his appearance I'm very excited to play him.

Edit: There's a mod on Reddit to play Alex early. Is Capcom banning people for doing this? Is there a way to just stay offline?

I recognize this much vitriol comes across as anger, but it's not at the people themselves even though it does sound like it. I love the football game loving kids. They're my best friends, who I would take a bullet for. It's just that 'no one actually really bothers with things they're into' here is a kind of persistent elephant in the corner that's sometimes a major bummer.

I figure we all get it at some point. I live in the US and I've had so many conversations where somebody goes "Oh yeah I used to be really good at the old Mortal Kombat!". I usually just shrug it off and change subjects. It's not a fun conversation to have.

These work by replacing another character (I think FANG because lolFANG) with Alex so definitely don't take it online.

Either pull out your ethernet cable or block the game in your firewall.

I once played Marvel with a few randoms at a geek night in London. I ran a team of Hulk/Morrigan/Phoenix and expected to get blown up. I held back and kept summoning my Morrigan assist to build meter. My opponents couldn't break me and kept losing to Dark Phoenix bullshit over and over. They goddamn lost their minds over the concept that I was using an assist as part of my actual strategy.

He gains back vtrigger meter with each parry. Puts him in SF3 mode from the looks of it. Probably press forward to parry just like in SF3 also.

I'm pretty sure you can get out a DP with 323 instead of the usual 623; try holding down-towards for the jabs and cancel the second one with a quick wiggle down back to down-towards.

From the Capcom sneak peek description it says he only has one hit of armor. So he's basically canceling the startup of his VT move into another VT move on successful parry?

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

I'm newish and I caught it in the demo, but only after whiffing the first hit of b.HK like 50 times and watching the demo maybe 10 times to try and figure out how Ryu was so close at v-trigger. I also recalled some poo poo in USFIV's Challenge Mode being similarly sneaky in its instructions, so barring that, I'd have probably given up and said nope this isn't even possible. I'm glad it "teaches" stuff like this to you, but a hint or something (lil more detail in the combo sequence?) would be nice.

I agree with you I was making fun of the other guy

Well designed modern fightgames have things like input display during demos to help out with this stuff

I'm somehow still shocked at how badly capcom managed to botch SF5 features

I obtained this title through beard tax.

To Klams and whoever else is being ridiculously overdramatic about all their friends not playing fighty games and whatnot, if you're interested in playing with people just get involved in the fighting game scene, there's usually a wide variety of people in them that you'll probably find a real friend or two and then you can have more friends and play fighting games with them, it's pretty sweet
