They're my bread and butter. Those two as well as SoulCalibur's Maxi are my mains. I hate when characters don't have stances.

My brother's internet connection is terrible. Won't be seeing me online for a while, can't do much more than log on.

When the characters drop in 20 days, I may not be able to be online by then. Give me time there.

Been experimenting with Ibuki, some may remember I had a brief stint with her when SSF4 launched. Been wanting to pair her with Asuka because of the ninja attire.

Also experimenting with charge cancels. Will say nothing more on that subject.

Pandora does not suck. The timing is tight (as it should be) but you can combo into a pandora powered super off a wall bounce for huge damage.

I've almost lost a round or two to Kalyx due to pandora. Actually lost a match in ranked to someone due to his strategic use of pandora.

Yeah but that's one use that can lead to supers regardless. And I hate wasting a gem slot to extend Pandora. I do like Pandora based gems. I just need more time to open people up.

Will be on all morning tomorrow, trying out new characters.

Ryu and Ken's tatsus have been nerfed, along with ryu's donkey kick.

Also, thank christ, rolento's lp, and raven's crouching hp have both been nerfed. A little less cheese from those two now.

So far i'm liking alisa and bryan the most.

Lei has an extremely long movelist. He and christie are going to be mad difficult to use.

Elena and Guy are what I'm working with now, predictably. But I really like Brian and Christie's potential as well. Lei may be a future project.

Ok, so somewhat in depth first impressions.

Lars- VERY prominent Adon feel here. To the point where one of his moves is almost exactly the same. Definitely feel like he's intended to be played in that same, "hit-and-run" style. He doesn't seem like he's got a lot in the mix up game though, so he may not be a tough match to read.

Alisa- Oh shit, where do I begin. Her style has similarities with Juri, which is why I suppose I took to her the fastest. Like Juri, she is an extremely versatile character. Not only does she have her multi-directional projectiles, but she's got a dash -> slide move that's as fast, if not faster than Guy's. Believe it will go under fireballs as well.

She's got several ways of getting in close, and once she does, she can bust out some pretty damaging combos, especially off boost combo to tag cancel.

And then there are the chainsaws. There are a number of ways to enter "Destroy mode", and if you do, that's when you want to get in close, as they are pretty difficult to defend against, andt they do pretty good damage.

Downside is, you can't attack while jumping, and you can't kick. You can build meter by pressing the kick buttons though.

Already discovered some really nasty combos with her, both solo and paired with Julia. In fact that may become my new main team.

Bryan- Moving along decently with Bryan, but I dunno. He was the character I looked forward to most, but he's kind of boring to play. Seems like his BnB combo starter would have to be that spinning backfist combo, as you can cancel into any of his specials from it.(and from there into the super if you use an ex special) Couldn't hit it on Blitz earlier though, as it's not yet in the muscle memory.

Jack- Haven't really messed around with him enough to comment.

Lei- Not really liking Lei at all, tbh. His DP move has a sketchy hitbox, and his other specials have horrible start up times. Think blitz poked me out of them about 10 times. Most of his stances don't really seem to have any practical use, and are there just for the sake of giving him stances. Maybe youcan combo into different stances? That would make them more viable. I dunno, I just suck with him, lol. I think you just need to concentrate really hard on reading and predicting your opponents actions, to play him effectively. Not to mention memorizing a shit ton of target combos.

Christie- Seems easier than Lei but still quite difficult. I will still give her a go however, because I love mix-up characters, and she is full of them. One thing that worries me is how wide open you are in handstand. Have to be very careful when using it outside of combos, and like when using lei, read your opponent carefully.

Her other specials range from low to overhead, and come out pretty fast, making her tough to deal with.

She reminds me of Julia in a small way, in that her specials all seem to be most effective from mid range, while her normals and target combos are most effective up close. Oh and she's got some pretty freakin' great target combos.

Dudley- Dudley, honestly seems even more dangerous here, than he was in AE. He's fast. And I know everybody's faster because the game is faster, but damn. I feel like they gave Dudley a little extra in the speed department. His recovery time also seems better. My opponents haven't been able to punish me on blocked specials, that would have got me bodied in AE. Might have to add him to the stable. Also, I love how the Fro on his swap costume completely blots out his partner on the versus screen.

Elena- Alex, Yun, and Makoto were the only characters I got in depth with in 3rd Strike, but I did play around with Elena a few times. More than a couple times, when Blitz was playing against me, she flew right over my head with a special and completely whiffed. Even all her normals outside of that fast crouching mid kick seem to have a slow startup. All this leads me to thing she's another mid range character.

The rest I didn't spend a whole lot of time with, but just seem like faster versions of their AE counterparts.

In addition to my new Alisa/Julia team, I might also start running Steve/Dudley. I've already expanded my character playlist to include Steve and Chun-li. In addition to some of the new characters, I'd also like to learn Ogre, Marduk, Kuma, Asuka, and Xiaoyu. Honestly, I'd just like to be able to hit random and be able to put up a good fight regardless of who I get.

Take back what I said about lars. Both of his manual dash's and his flipping kick move have modifiers to change what move comes out at the end. Might look into him more.

Messed with Jack, and I'm really liking him. He is my favorite behind Alisa at the moment. He hits like a god damn freight train, as expected. To the point though where 3 simple combos could be enough to finish off characters with lower stamina. His normals are slow, but his specials are incredibly fast. You can totally catch people off gaurd with them.

Blitz, do you play Third Strike at all? I bought it when it came out, but I have no one to play with. Would like to get some rooms going in that if you or anyone else is interested.

Picked this up again when the DLC characters released. Realised I bought the whole DLC pack for one character.

Any combination of Zangief, Hugo & JACK X and I feel I'm pretty strong. Anyone else and I'm weaker than wet toilet paper.

I still think Tekken characters completely suck the fun straight out of the whole game. I've been combo'd, I'm lying on the floor, how can you still hit me?

It doesn't help that it seems Tekken character can combo/juggle as long as they like but my guys can only string togethor 2 juggles before they automatically miss the third.

If it was just Street Fighter Tag Team Tournement I'd be having a great time, I think.

Also, 360 is NEVER getting Megaman and Pacman, even though they are on the disc.

Megaman and Pacman suck, though.

As I told you before, the Tekken characters have the hardest time in this game sense it's more SF than anything. You main big lumbering characters, so you'll get rushed down more often, and this makes the game feel like it lends itself to the Tekken characters more. It's actually a shocking degree of balance, but you play with very extreme characters. It's like playing SF with Dhalsim exclusively and complaining that the jumps are floaty and characters move too fast. In fact, sense you started taking 2D fighters seriously (SF4, I believe?) you were almost completely maining Gief. He, like certain other characters, are not the best representations of how SF overall plays.

Megaman & Pacman would just be cool to have, whether they suck or not. If The Monopoly guy & Colonel Sanders were on the disc, I'd want them available, eventually.

Even when I try out Rolento, Poison or, since the DLC, Sakura & Blanka I still get juggled badly. I Shoryuken someone into the air and I can pull of another one to keep them in the air and then, no matter what I do after that, the 3rd strike automatically misses. Playing against Fignuts, his Heihachi kept my Poison in the air for quite a while. Meanwhile, when I tried to keep him up in the air, I couldn't beyond two attacks.

I hate that I go on and on about this stuff but it is something I can't see the "fairness" in. I just keep thinking "Why can Tekken guys juggle me for 10 hits but I can't string togethor 3?". I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something.
Can the SF cast do anything the Tekken cast can't do? If they can, then it wouldn't be so bad because each side would have a unique "perk".

I pick big guys because it suits my playstyle much better. No matter the genre, strength is the way I go almost everytime.

There's actually a pretty deep system as to what juggles and what doesn't. For instance, the Tekken juggles involve a lot normals. Special moves usually end juggles because their point value is very high.

It gets nerdier from there, but in short very few characters can actually juggle a bunch of special moves.

Have you gone to YouTube to see if your characters have extended juggle capability?

Yeah, but look at the characters you play as. Hugo, Gief, and now Jack, only need a few hits per combo to do the same amount of damage as the 10 hit combos from other characters.

After a certain amount of damage has been done, you can't juggle any further. You pick the strongest characters, the less you will be able to keep your opponent in the air. I can pull off big combos with Chun-Li, but she hits like a wet noodle, so it balances out.

You're paying too much attention to the combo count, and not to the actual damage you are dealing.

Also, when not using your grapplers, you need to get a better handle on the juggle mechanics. Not one character in the game can juggle further, after two consecutive DP moves. Not Poison not Ryu, no one. DP moves are combo starters(ex and anti-air) and combo enders.

It all comes down to this. Characters who can't keep their opponents in the air that long typically hit a lot harder.

Try doing some trials as well. It can give you ideas, even if it's not the combo they want you to do. I spend a lot of time in training mode just messing around with different combos involving EX moves and Tag Cancels, both of which can extend combos that would end otherwise, and even go into a super. In fact at the end of our last match, I was about to demonstrate that very principale before you pandoraed out of it mid combo. How you did that I have no fucking idea.

Played a little last night, with Alisa and Bryan. Two characters I was looking forward to.

Alisa scared me. I wasn't expecting her moves, even though I knew them. When her head came off, I missed the throw, and proceeded to be mauled by AI Akuma. He was not pleased with my shenanigans.

With Bryan, he was really slow and sluggish. I struggle with Tekken characters a little more than SF because I'm not good with fighting games. Needless to say, his slow movements didn't help me out.

I'll have to keep playing though, I enjoyed what I did.

I really want "Hagger The Horrible" Hugo, Teddybear Kuma, Masked Zangief and Toy JACK but most of the alts look good enough that I'd buy them, probably.

Looking at a video showing all the costumes, I have to ask, isn't Lili a kid? 15 or 16 or something? It kinda makes her witch costume a bit weird considering it seems to show most of her breasts off, covering things just from the nipple downwards.

I completely fucking suck at the footsie game. This is something that has went downhill as far 2D gaming goes, and I really need to step that shit up. One session with Fignuts and one with Khuntry pretty much shows that I can get opened up easily just by coming near me. Got so frustrated I couldn't even finish a match with Khuntry because my mind simply wasn't there, I was just pressing buttons.

Otherwise a decent series with both. Gotta take Lei to training mode already, he's my weakest link so far.
