    Was it even possible to punish blocked light scissors?

    nope! its 0 on block
    you can only "punish" him if you pick a button afterwards that is faster than the button he picks

    Properly spaced focus could punish it. It could punish it very badly.

    If they're saying a 1 hit light scissor kick pushes back enough so that that doesn't punish, this is a buff for how I use him.

    I think it will be a nerf to the Viper and Sagat fights for sure. Against any character whose fastest attack is 4 frames its a nerf.

    You could lock down Vipers and Elfs with good scissor kick pressure.

    Yeah, won't affect focus punishes. I wonder how much pushback. Probably cr.mp range by my guess.

    Man I played Bison since week 2 of Vanilla's console release. My problem with what they're doing is nerfing the Bison Pressure. Like, that's what I find fun about the character. So if the character no longer will do the thing I find fun, why should I play him?

    He'll no longer be able to pressure? Man, that really sucks.

    His pressure will just be a little riskier (Which is fair, the gap between characters who can pressure effectively and who can't is HUGE. There's no middle ground. Either you're a dive kicking, scissor kicking monster, or you're fucked.) and won't be as sustainable in the corner.

    I don't think the sky is falling down.

    More push back on short sk, bigger hurt box against bison on his cr.short, 80/110 st.hk, projectile immune super, and charge for ultra 2. Most are light nerfs, one ignorable buff, overall not too bad.

    Push back and the more vulnerable cr.short means Bison doesn't get a second rep after the initial scissors unless done naked. Easier to stick something out, but it's not like that's much of an option when Bison has st.hk.

    Anyway, it'll weaken his corner pressure a bit too, whatevs.

    Agreed. The nerfs aren't really anything major. I never really used the follow up scissor kick pressure as much, anyways.

    The upgraded damage on Ultra 2 might make it a wash, even. We'll see. That and I think I can reflex Kneepress Nightmare :).

    I choose to be optimistic.

    They look pretty major to me :E It really depends just how much pushback they put on short scissors though, but that could take away a lot of the pressure options/mixups that bison has.

    I'm guessing the push back will be increased to the point where another cr.short won't connect. Otherwise the increased push back will be almost pointless. Besides, Bison will probably still have cr.forward (slow but the other options let it work) and plain sk to do a rep, or st.forward/hk to keep them put. The fact that sk goes over lows and st.forward/hk will beat almost any button pushed keeps some of the mix up in tact. Being unable to throw out a three frame move after will be a pain though, yeah.

    her dive kicks got a minimum height so you can't do instant regular dives anymore. you need to burn EX meter to do instant dive kicks now

    Some of her normals got buffed, but her Cannon Spike is now easier to punish on both block and grounded hit and she can no longer do her non-EX Cannon Strike right off the ground.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    I think it's fucking crazy you guys are calling it quits without even touching the game or even seeing it in action. Maybe Cammy is better off now. Although most of these complainosaurs aren't people I play with regularly so I'm not too affected.
    It just seems entirely too early to bail on a character.

    So how much is Capcom going to charge for this when it comes out?

    $10?

    Considering how much they're charging for arcade boards of AE, I don't expect console to be released until late '11 or somewhere in 2012. Unless they really want to screw arcades over.

    I'm expecting to pay $40 for a disc release. DLC not so much.

    Honestly though, arcade boards have been priced astronomically for quite some time now, so I don't see how this is a different scenario, really.

    Also, sure Capcom will sell some units here in the US at 14k a pop, but how long do you think they'll wait on console before they risk losing players en masse. Realistically the great majority of current SSF4 players are nowhere near an arcade with AE. Do you think Capcom is going to risk losing the money it can make from them?

    Or does it? Not everything is about you Josh.

    Edit: I'd be incredibly surprised if the DLC wasn't within a month or even a simultaneous release. The people who go to arcades and who buy the DLC aren't necessarily the same audience, and even if it is that doesn't necessarily mean people won't ever go. Do people go to Arcade Infinity because of the game? No, they go there because of the crowd and the scene which the home release won't be able to recreate.

    I think it's more important that they release the DLC before/when KoFXIII or other fighting games down the pipe (MvC3...) release. When those games come out you're going to lose parts of the audience you might never get back who will just dedicate themselves to the new game. Release it in advance, and you'll get your money while people buy it to tide themselves over for the game they want.

    If they hold off DLC until late 2011, I imagine the backlash from the community will be pretty large.

    I mean, there was a similar situation with vanilla SF4 because they added extra characters, but I think this will be much, much worse. The original arcade characters didn't change in the console version and nobody was really using the console characters competitively back then. In SSF4 AE just about every single character is getting changed, even some special move inputs.

    I just wanted to say again: if anybody was looking at the PS3 buy one get one free TE stick deal, I could most likely go halfsies on it.

    And to me the Cammy changes are actually a good thing overall, cause I can't reliably do the instant air dive kick anyway! I'm really happy about the Hakan buffs though, he's a fun character.

    I agree. I can do them pretty reliably, but I hate how much she has to rely on TKCS. Taking it away, but buffing her normals will hopefully make her less of a one trick pony.
