zankoku Report post Posted March 3, 2016 1 hour ago, Poultrygeist said: That sounds like Merkava, whose grab was not a true unblockable grab. I'm really curious about this now. True, but I don't think Merkava's had a blind spot for being too close either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe has active hitbox that are countereable (like dandy step counter state sh*t) before the grab, if thats the case is not a really "broken" move after all.

Tokkan Report post Posted March 3, 2016 The announcer refers to Kum Haehyun as "Haehyun" rather than "Kum" like we've been doing so far. So should we be calling her Haehyun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darlos9D Report post Posted March 3, 2016 Maybe I got a little negative but I didn't mean to be some doomsayer. I honestly just have no idea what Raven's grabs are like. I didn't think they'd be overpowered per se. Let's just hope Potemkin isn't so big that he can't "get inside" the long reaching grab, lol. Talking about getting out-grappled by other characters, I'm thinking about playing Tager and getting beat out by Hazama's command grab. Ugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
George Costanza Report post Posted March 3, 2016 Honestly, Raven looks pretty good even without use of his meter. Which also makes me wonder, how the hell are you ever gonna bait someone into hitting you during stance? It seems like you would really have to slow down your own momentum. Early impressions though so whatever, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Early impressions though so whatever, I can think of a few possibilities. 1.Bait dead angles with blockstrings and then cancel into stance. 2.Use it the same way you would use Ky 6H 3.Use it as you would a 6P to catch people blindly airdashing in on you That of course all assumes that this works like I think it does.

Suzaku Report post Posted March 3, 2016 You could also just use it instead of blocking when you know an attack is coming that you can survive. You could for example tank an Overdrive, fill your gauge, and then go on the offensive or play keep away while your health regens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pomparomp Report post Posted March 3, 2016 Every character has holes in their pressure strings and instead of going for a mash or jump out attempt you catch a fafnir or carcass raid on purpose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TekkamanArk Report post Posted March 3, 2016 So, Raven very much made me go "YEEEEEEES", I might be looking into him. Kum looked fun too, but omg Raven just screamed "this is your character". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Layer Report post Posted March 3, 2016 Huh, watching that gameplay video of Raven; I take back him looking like Hazama. The way he glides around and that grey colour palette. He looks more like.... a raven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NEJI12212 Report post Posted March 3, 2016 so are they keeping the bottom right corner as a random button or is it going to be another character because the bottom left is obviously going to be dizzy but it just seems off to have a random button there (plz b A.B.A). Even if it isn't a new character I'm very satisfied to get to play 6 new characters in this version where I was expecting only 3 from the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NEJI12212 Report post Posted March 3, 2016 did Ravens unique icon ever change because in the games he was played in it doesn't seem to do anything unless I missed it but I'm glad they didn't make it seem that the character doesn't need to be in low hp to do better (like Lucario in smash).

The gauge only fills when he uses his "hit me here!" special, with it filling more if he's hit during that special, so simple loss of life doesn't have much to do with it.

Shots fired on Lucario. Jokes notwithstanding, I wonder how Raven's Guts rating will work with Hit me here/Gray Fox install...Like does he have to take the hit with damage scaling or does he eat it like as if he was at full health?
