SCV Ivy Video Thread

Wow, I wasn't expecting that video to emerge so soon. I was lucky to be the first player to test the new build Ivy on the main stage. The old build 6B8 BE had a much different (and in my opinion better) camera angle. Also it had a sik bone/spine crunching sound.

Unfortunately to me Ivy seems to be one of the worst characters in the current build. I will write more tomorrow when I get back home. She is heavily nerfed in almost every aspect. Possibly even worse than SC3 Ivy.

She looks really boring to play as well.

Anyway what is the point of Ivy now? It seems like all her damage comes from spending meter. Other than that she just seems like a poke character.

Waiting for your full report on this.

And again, what happened to sending in the wishlist?

I think it got sent a while ago, I actually think it was sent before it had a 2nd page. In the end it is just a wishlist so we can only hope that they listened to it. Plus alot of ppl wanted different things so it hard to imagine all of that happing. (Though I still hope they look at it an make a effort to make some of the request happen before release in january.)

Dammit, I was afraid of that. A lot of people were crying "NERF!!!" on a lot of Ivy moves (not just her unblockable) without even caring how it would affect her entire game. Meanwhile, other characters were getting only praises and no criticism, no matter how much damage they did or how many advantages they had. Unfortunately, some of these players were also people that NB seemed to go to for balance and gameplay issues.

It just didn't seem like Ivy was getting enough positive representation to the devs. All they heard was 'this attack has too many advantages' or 'this does too much damage'.

-_______________________________________-

Even the moves A+BA (3rd hit not connect) and 4A+BB(Does not combo) were still not fixed in the current build based from that vid.

Edit: It looks like her 2A has the worse range of the series.

Hey dont worry Ring, im sure the Ivy Arena can fix this with some massive, professionally organized whining via Twitter! :)

Im eager to read your review...along with Mitsu she looks pretty boring gameplay wise.
 
Couple of questions:

1. Who is the "leader" of the Ivy community/what sort of contact do we have with the Devs?

2. Can we complain enough to make them change things to how we want them? ;)
 
Finally some videos are being uploaded. Here is my first tourney match and also second time that I played the game, I lost pretty bad. I wasn't used to new pad config and input changes.


Old build 6B8 BE:


At 0:40.
 
Ring: How do you feel about Ivy's CE? Are some people able to duck it on reaction yet? What purpose do you think it serves?
 
We don't know yet, to me it doesn't seem to be duckable on reaction but to confirm that we will have to wait until the game is released. CE's are extremely fast (Pyrrha's CE is guaranteed after her multiple GB moves) so I don't think people can react to something like that, unless they react to the sound (imagine doing 236236A+B+K on stick, it's almost like CS/SS)

If you have 150% meter (in the new build, GI takes 50%, not 25%) you can have a guaranteed CE after a successful guard impact. Still, I think that other CE's are much more useful at this moment.

Ivy's CE is also glitched against some characters, sometimes it does only about 20dmg.

Only you would find an Ivy glitch before release, lol.
 
I hope im not late to say this but when I saw this move.....I almost pissed my pants (literally I had to go to the bathroom) Go to 2:46 and you will see a tight Brave Edge combo. I think its the best out of every bodies elses'....

To me it looks reactable, she raises her hand for a good second or so and it glows blue. We'll see when the game releases though.

They definitely don't have that much time for ducking.If it's reactale... well, it's gonna be a nice lag tactic online then.

At least her BE attacks are decent so the lack of a good CE shouldn't cripple her *that* much. CH 2A+B, 6B8 BE is almost 100 dmg. FC 1B on the other hand seems to be the strongest FC whiff punisher in the game at this moment.
 
Another video from the second solo on PGW, probably the closest match on the entire tournament. Pantocrator won, Keysona 2nd, me and Malek ex aequo on 3rd place.

Keysona (Pat) vs Ring (Ivy)

I still wasn't used to BE's, sorry. But I tried different things so maybe you will see something new. I will post more videos of me and Malek if they get uploaded.
 
Do you think that her 22B BE (you know, the second hit of her SC4 SEA236A) has a use? Is it a mid and does the Guard Break give + frames on block?
