Is the classic costume exlcusive to those who bought the Ultra pack? If so is there a way to buy the costumes as a DLC without having to buy the Ultra pack?

So Wulf is the free character now? Well...influx of Wulf players incoming to replace Jago. Guess I'll be getting a lot of matchup EXP vs him as it's my worst at the moment lol

- HP /Shadow version of Widow’s bite is now categorized as OPENER.

Wait, it wasn't before?

What is this going to mean for Sadira also?

I think it just means it's correctly listed in the commands. I don't believe it was shown under the opener category before.

Also I played around 10 or so ranked matches about an hour ago. Everyone of them were choppy. Everything was so smooth until this morning :( Hopefully a quick fix!

The real question is….

Are you ready for the Glacius Army that arises in response to all the Wulfs online?

:p

I'd rather fight Glacius than have to play a "guessing" game with El Fuerte.. oh wait. I mean.. Sabrewulf... with those dash crossups on my wakeup.. Guess 1/3 is the name of the game vs the Dog

Man SW is really annoying, do you believe he needs nerfs? If so what would those nerfs be?

He's already been nerfed. I just found in practice mode that his Jumping heavy kick lost 3 frames of block advantage.

Its not on the official patch notes, Im not saying that just bc btw I use SW too, well I use everyone lol

How much is it on block now? Sw doesnt really need to jump to get it anyway.

Must have been a stealth nerf.

Prepatch, it was enough that you could get a heavy jump attack, dash, and still have enoygh advantage for a guaranteed mixup.

This is no longer possible. The dash is still safe but the followup is interruptible

Go on youtube and search for Sajam's character breakdown of Wulf. Then just compare the frame data you see when he's in practice to the frame data currently. As a second source, Prima's strategy website still has the old frame data of Sabrewulf unupdated, and its an exact match to what you see in Sajam's video.

It used to be +24 on hit, +20 on block

Now its +20 on hit, +17 on block.

Just enough so a followup dash is safe, but useless because any followup can be stuffed.

It was a nerf

Not saying it wasnt.
With +17 on block you can follow it up with any normal as a block string no need to dash. You could go for crouching mid punch, heavy punch, run over head or low for the mix ups.

A gimmick or mix up could be run low cancel into shadow overhead( forgot the name) and you get a safe low-high mix up. Safe with opponents no having meter of course and you can always cancel with IM.

Rotating characters is such a smart business decision. You suddenly get good with Jago and then wulf comes up, get half decent with him and thunder comes up and every other character while you can't catch a break in matches because you might be decent with some but good with one, therefore you either wait a certain amount of time until you can play your favorite character or you go ahead and buy him.

And you also get a taste of other chars and after that it's not farfetched to want to buy a second char too. But why get a second for a total of 10$, why not just buy 8 for 20?

Well, day 1 of Wulf is over, and I still run into almost nothing but 90% Jago online.

It doesn't matter if it cost them money, people ALWAYS prefer well-rounded characters as opposed to rush-down/zoning specialists.

Agreed. I had a few good normal matches tonight but for the most part they were laggy and the people I was playing against were saying the same thing.

I hope based KI gods fix this shit because I'm gonna cry. =(


Oh, and fix the Rage quitting. It's fucking bullshit. It should ban them from playing ranked for a day if they rage quit twice within 24 hours. I think COD had a system like this if you quit out so many times you wouldn't be able to play MP for a certain length of time.
