SCV Ivy Video Thread

Yeah, they had really killed 3A. Not only there's no stun on CH, but the move is no longer i16.

Her horizontals are really weak this time, nothing strong and mostly high and/or slow.
 
One of the things that bothered me is that Christmas Tree is back in the game and WP A+B~B/(B) from SC3 isn't. This move would make up for Ivy's poor horizontal attacks. If her horizontal attacks are really dreadful, perhaps it (the poor horizontal attacks--I hate that the second A in AA can be ducked) could be something that we petition to fix (if really necessary) in a patch. By the way, I didn't even try to do WR A+B (if the input is the same) when I played a couple weeks ago. What possessed you to try that move, Ring?
 
It was an accident. I played on a different pad config and messed up something. I tried to move away in panic but I'm not sure if you can control the movement of Christmas Tree this time... plus, it's only a 3-hit now.
 
I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it's the same. That was the only time when I used that move, I completely forgot it existed.

They should at least make it safe on hit, that would make for a nice horizontal step killer from FC.
 
Aye, this time it's no joke because whiff = CE.

I can't remember if it was possible to move the christmas tree around the stage, but looking at the video just after the move finished Ivy moved backwards (which means I held [4] but the tree did not even budge...) this will make the move even more useless .I didn't think it was possible but Namco people are genius, apparently.

It basically means this move must be done at point blank range, otherwise it's guaranteed to whiff. Now, only safety on block could save our beloved Christmas Tree, but it ain't gonna happen, lol.
 
What a bummer. That's a very cool looking move.

Also I don't understand why they would remove SC4 WP 22_88B. Such an iconic move for her (there's even a picture of her doing it on the Soul Calibur II box)
 
Maybe after 6B8 BE at the edge, we can do 7A+B (SCIV's WP 1B+K) into a higher damaging combo or do the 22_88B BE

Edit: Does she still have SCIV's CL 4B? It was one of her staple moves combo wise

Click to expand...
I don't believe she does, nor does she have WP 4B anymore.
 
Yeah, it was confirmed at NEC that it's possible. Looks like it gives enough advantage to launch Ivy, though...

What the hell is that at 09:22? Pyrrha's 66B (I think?) relaunches opponent off the ground without Brave Edge?
10:30 - the laugh... lol, it's kinda weak if you ask me. Doesn't suit Ivy well.
 
I never thought that the japanese voice actress laugh has suited Ivy. Its always been too high pitched and whimsical, not cynical enough.

It's just built into the languages. Ivy isn't a cutesy Japanese girl. She's a cold english bitch.
 
Eh, Ivy's been nerfed, but anyone who's been following the series knew that was pretty much a given. The only positive is that they probably can't nerf her any more than they already have(wishful thinking) so maybe she'll return to her SCII Goddess Tier in SCVI~

(Side note, take that chart with a grain of salt, I'd like to see one for SCIV to compare, but I don't think those stats are significantly worse than a similar chart would have shown for her in IV TBH)
 
9A+B,(B) block disadvantage is HUGE. The opponent can block and run up to Ivy before the animation ends. It looks like at least -50.
