Tiger shots are removed. Vtrugger 1 is modified so it shoots tiger shots instead of tiger cannons.

G's mobility is terrible, his poor AAs make his zoning ineffective and overly risky, his momentum-based gameplay means he's Hakan with less guarantee of conversion and his lack of good defensive options means that he'll be at the mercy of the same throw loops and meaty setups that every other character who has the same issue are Sagat is like a less good SF4 Sagat which is weird because even a less good SF4 Sagat feels too good for this game so I expect him to be heavily nerfed That said his buttons are atrociously slow and it's actually less risky to throw a fireball in neutral than it is to throw a standing normal

I want to like G but I'm having some real trouble using him. Are any of his jump-in attacks not poo poo? And his anti-airs? His V-skill is OK but it's got a slow startup. And his specials are terrible unless you use them in a combo since they are so slow. Most of the time the opponent just jabs him before the attack hits. Which attacks are reasonably safe to use?

His vskill is literally unbeatable from the air once it's out, active for like 13 frames. If you need something faster, bhp and cr.hp work fine

Which attacks are reasonably safe to use? I don't really know what the gameplan is with him since the only thing he does especially well is steamroll once he's got charge, but even then starting things off requires a stray hit. His normals are stubby, he's slow, his projectile is atrocious. I figure you're just meant to stall, lure them in, and catch them with the hit that starts your offense, but really he's not that scary in any situation aside from the raw damage that he can do. He lacks +frames on CC buttons to be properly scary up close. He loses to rushdown, he loses to a strong footsie game, he loses to grapplers, though I think he beats zoning. But this is SF5 where everyone beats zoning, so

That attack has a long rear end startup despite the hitbox, if you do it preemptively it works, otherwise you're getting murdered.

Thanks, I guess I'll practice AA and bnb combos. As long as I consistently manage to get full charge he can be pretty scary. If my opponent manages to corner me I'm pretty much dead, though.

Dias posted:That attack has a long rear end startup despite the hitbox, if you do it preemptively it works, otherwise you're getting murdered. If you time it to the start of the jump to catch an early divekick it'll work if she actually does it, but whiff if she doesn't. If you time it to mid-jump it'll catch a raw jump in, but get beaten by a divekick assuming the jump arc is right. Even Nemo has some issues with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRj7QihLmLc He successfully AAs a divekick once with shield, and that's with VT popped. Every other time it's an air to air, I think one crHP and the rest were just blocked or failed. It's actually really reassuring to see Nemo struggle with the same problems with the character that I've been having

Goodpart posted:this: You linked a video where Nemo dropped every single one of his punishes in round one, and he attempts a v-skill anti air that is snuffed. However, everything he did that round the timing was off. Later in that same video, Nemo has clearly found his groove and even wins a round with a v-skill anti-air. I'm not sure you've proven your point.

I mean I could link to a whole host of other G v Cammy videos where other players like Sako and RB struggle with the same issue but sure Sako's most common AA option is jump back LP if that's any indication

He's a blast to play as. What kills me about him is his useless v-triggers. It's criminal.

Yeah he had a fun game and combos even beyond the zoning stuff but I haven't played in a long rear end time and heard all the updates have nerfed him which sounds very SFV so I just assumed it's true. He didn't deserve any but I could imagine people demanding his cr.mk move get whacked because it was real fun to spam and see if the other person knew what to do sort of like Laura's standing mk

I bought G and Sagat and some colors and costumes for both and haven't played them at all, because Cody is so fun. Pre-VT he's like a much better Ryu, and with the pipe he becomes a different character with some great tricks and setups.
