[P4AU] Shadow Labrys - General Discussion

[mixedmethods]

I know this forum is pretty quiet, but, hey, we have MU threads now. Feel free to post any advice, thoughts, questions, etc.

I figured I'd round up what info we have on 2.0 Shabrys. Information isn't complete, and nothing is final until the actual release, but here's what we know so far. All translations courtesy of Sourenga, who deserves a giant thank you from all of us.

From the patch log released by ASW, which focused on buffs:

SHADOW LABRYS:

- Buffalon Hammer has faster start-up, Asterios' endurance value has been increased

- Hammer Upper's (8C/j.8C) start-up is now a lot faster*

- Chain Knuckle has faster start-up, decreased recovery

*Most likely a translation error or error from ASW: it is 2C/j.2C/Hammer that became faster, not 8C/Terra's Eruption.

- Air Guillotine > 5C removed

- 5C blows the opponent away (Flies over S.Labrys even if you sandwich the opponent...) and causes wallbounce

- j.2B* slower start-up? Increased recovery?

- Increased hit stun from 5A

- 2B is jump cancelable**

- 2C and Hammer are pretty fast

- 2C floats the opponent pretty high. They can tech if you use it in a combo

- SB Guillotine floats the opponent higher. No way to continue on midscreen. 5A, 5B and 2B work in corner...

- Opponent falls faster from SB Authority hit. Can't combo Brutal Impact from it.

- 2B>5B isn't back...

- No bounce from her Furious Action***

*Sourenga translated this as j.2C, but it's almost certainly j.2B. Google Translate (I know, I know) went with j.2B, and j.2B makes sense in the context of the combo discussion in the Tweets.

**Speculation is that "2B is jump cancelable" means "jump-cancellable on block," in which case: hallelujah.

***Every character has lost the ability to combo off a CH DP so ASW isn't necessarily targeting her specifically.

There were also changes to system mechanics, which can be found translated here. Please note that the change to Confusion was only for the loketest, which wasn't clarified until much later.

How these changes affect current Titanomachia combos is currently unknown.

I asked BananaKen what he thought via Twitter, and you can read his initial impression here. 2C > bull cancelling is likely the name of the game.

There is quite a bit we don't know and won't know for some time. It's a loketest, not the final build, so let's wait to panic and freak out.

If anyone is able to translate any other Tweets or has more info, I'll add it to this post. It didn't seem worth it to make a 2.0 thread, given how quiet this sub-forum is, but I'll try to keep all the known loketest developments collected for ease of discussion.

Thank you

 

2B jump cancel is awesome, really. Can't wait to try it out :D
