[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Actually, premium costumes won't be available yet because you have to buy them with Zenny money and it won't be a thing until the next patch most likely. R.I.P. the premium Alex dream.

[usedcarsalesmang]

When you complete challenge mode you still get Fleshpits Bison, right guys?

 

[usedcarsalesmang]

Im tired tired of these capcom stealth nerfs to core game mechanics

 

[ILuvFightGames]

Is the update live yet? I try to go to shop and it says "your selection is currently unavailable".

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Wow, Alex looks pretty good. His st. Mk(?) looks very good, kinda looks like Cammy's but it seems a little bit slower. His shoulder looks like a great AA and his command grabs seem to have good range, obviously he seems kinda slow but his range is good and he does good damage. Also it seems like he has an overhead.

 

[B. Shazzy]

oh man capcom should've known not to give me a chatacter with command grabs and parries what are they doing

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Why can he combo into his elbow off cr. Lp and Laura can't? CAPCOM STAAAAAAHP

The update was in two parts. Store won't be open until Wednesday with Alex.

 

[Rip Torn]

How do people have Alex already? Is this like a PC only thing?

Thanks man. What was the first part?

You have to hack something I think.

 

[Atomic Era]

Thanks man. What was the first part?

Part one is rematch option, 8 man lobbies, trials, character tutorials, bug fixes, and gameplay tweaks. Part two is Alex and the store.

 

[ProudDisciple]

Anyone down for a quick set?

Have you tried rushing people down with FANG dude? Only like 4 or 5 characters have invincible reversals, make them feel your pain!

 

[d3v]

Current thinking is that there are three important factors that help decide how strong a character is in the game 1) good neutral, 2) 3 frame normal 3) invincible reversal. Having 2 or more of these could indicate that a character is top tier (at least, before we come up with a proper match up chart).

If you take a closer look at the characters that have these, then you realize that it does support what many Japanese players are saying about the game's tiers - characters like Ryu and Cammy who have all 3 are top, followed by characters like Chun Li who have have 2 at the very least, but gain 3 when they have meter. Then it moves down to characters who have 2 at best, then 1, and then the unlucky ones who have 0.

 

[Sultani]

Shoryuken posters have been pointing out for awhile Bison's weaknesses in matchup discussion threads
and in the Bison forums. General consensus is that hes mid-to-low tier.
Even commentators during the Capcom Pro tour have commented
on the lack of Bison.

Sim doesn't have a history of placing badly at majors like Bison does.
Currently, no character has a track record as bad as Bison's at majors
and the Bison community is in the lab here trying to resuscitate their maligned, emaciated leader.

ah. well, I did only read one thread I suppose.

Maybe it's one of those things where he was placed super high before people learned what to do. Then people learned what to do really fast.

safety, plus frames, and mobility as well. I suppose mobility could be lumped into "good neutral" though. Nash is super good because his dash is insane and six of his normals are plus... not to mention moonsault and ex sonic boom are also plus.
