Arcade mode?
Is there an arcade version in Japan (or somewhere)?

Its in the works.Is there an arcade version in Japan (or somewhere)?
I think they meant to say something that would have the hurtbox of a j.kick. I'd imagine his body slam would be affected by it or like uriens j.mpAll good changes, I wonder how the Zangief counter work though, what kind of screwed up hurtbox does it have to only work against horizontally-angled attacks (and does it really only work against... kicks? seems arbitrary)
How is Laura supposed to compete with Guile without better ways around fireballs? His V-Skill > her ex elbow. Her walkspeed is trash so walking and blocking gets you nowhere, jumping is obviously a bad idea.

Urien changes are surprisingly tame. Can't just mindlessly throw out ex shoulder or cr.MK.
At least Mika can slide under them to make space. Or her body splash to make his following AA's/Flash kick whiff or a charged st.HK or apparently her heavy peach. (Just going by what I saw Fuudo do against Du tbh)
It's another option for her when she didn't have many. Should she just have to hold a 7-3 MU and rest easy or give her a decent option to make it a 6-4? lol
You can still just toss them out there, they're unpunishable. Barely a nerf tbh.
YES! Thank god, what a stupid change that was.The number of frames necessary to complete a charge has been increased from 6F to 10F.
Those Vega buffs! :x
V-Skill fireball? Alex at least had his ex stomp/ex headbutt from anywhere on screen to bypass it lol. Why does Alex have those options??She already has an armored EX move, same as the other grapplers.
I think her armored elbow was enough. Not every character can have an answer to every situation; if Laura gets to have that answer, others should too. What is Birdie supposed to do?
Mika's body splash isn't an answer to a V-Skill boom, because they're close enough to AA in those situations. Mika's HP Peach cannot go over V-Skill booms. Neither can her drop kick.
She can at least slide under them with cr.HK, you're right. Can be a bad solution due to the recovery, however.
But Guile's V-Skill is hard to deal with for many other characters; how comes Laura gets such a clear answer? How is Mika supposed to compete with Guile, then?
Birdie has down+forward HP to go under projectiles and punish up close, regular/ex dolphin dives if you have a read, ex chains goes through projectiles to punish at mid range, regular bullhorn is projectile invincible and ex bullhorn can work at midrange. lol birdie has a plethora of anti projectile attacks. Not all are totally reactionary but still very solid.
Vega can sweep Guiles v-skill clean on reaction from like half screen (still sucks for Vega)
Arcade mode?
The input delay was actually decreased, just not as much as we hoped (from 8 to around 6.2 frames, which I think equals MKX & KoFXIV).I'm surprised they still haven't addressed input lag, the crappy invite/lobby menu and Arcade mode within the whole year this game has been out. It's shameful and I doubt I'll spend a dime on DLC in the future.
What a disappointment and full on display of incompetency.
Edit: sorry to be so off-topic, but I'm so disappointed in this game. Most of the problems should be easily fixable.
That's one of the best S2 changes tbh.Nothing regarding speeding up white life recovery. I'm shocked, I thought that would be the first thing to be tweaked, it's so slow right now.
I'm glad the charge window has been expanded.

Your gotta remember this is XIAN you're talking about. He can make almost any character look good. He just handicapped himself last year with a shit FANG.I like how after Xian's dominant Ibuki display at Final Round XX, the only change she got was fixing an input flaw which now makes her even better.
Nice to see some minor Juri buffs but still waiting for her to have a breakout.

Zangief:
Harasho Choke Slam
New neutral/forward normal throw (LP+LK) that is triggered against crouching opponents
I thought we were specifically talking about V-Skill fireball? Laura already had an answer to projectiles through EX elbow; that's why we're talking about why she can now pass through them completely with another tool.
Birdie can slide underneath them, sure. Again, a risky as hell option. It's not the same thing as Guile players now having to actually be scared of a grappler who is slightly away from them because she has an all-encompassing, pre-emptive move that will punish them as opposed to Birdie's -8 slide and Mika's -1 million cr.HK.
There is Birdie's EX Chain, though, but there's that startup. At least for Birdie, he does have Bullhorn, which will go through V-Skill boom pressure.
Like I said, Birdie has a few different moves to choose from with how to deal with V-Skill boom. Laura literally had one that was shut down by Guile's basic gameplan of abusing the V-Skill boom lol
I mean if they're signature you should at least know their names no?
dps doesn't beat meaties right?
My understanding is that heavy ones do.dps doesn't beat meaties right?
H Shoryuken attacks added attack and projectile invincibility.
y did they give gief like 3 new throws? Ill never beat u now.
Alex: did they mean Alex c.mp? s.mp is just a combo linker....whatever we got 1025 life now its all good Hulkamaniacs.
My understanding is that heavy ones do.
Meh at invincible reversals being brought back for some characters. At least Necalli didn't get it back.
Thank god at the charge buffer change though.
Mika still trash, not a single change made to her. No arcade mode or any other QOL improvements made.
I see no reason to come back to this game.
Dhalsim gets a kick.

This is huge. I might start playing again.
I kid you not, this was a rumored change last year and I was actually unhappy that it wasn't put in. Now that it's in, it's one of the last tools he needed.
Also, Cammy's air throw is going to be yet another reason why that matchup sucks for Sim.
Nah, only from frame 3. EX is still the only way to make a DP fully invincible from frame 1 to beat meaties.
