Eh, I wouldn't go so far to say it's amazing yet. The 2nd hit is unsafe, how much has yet to be confirmed. And given the gap between the two hits, quite possibly also stepable on block, and it doesn't look like it's hit-confirmable.
But yeah... it'll definitely have a place in his toolset, if...
aB not being safe on block is a major disappointment. Could have been excellent for oki. It was super spammable back when it was Strife 6B in SC3. :(
Still, thanks for going out there and putting in the time, @IceColdEdge . It is appreciated.
The interesting question would be how that impacts his movelist.
This incarnation of NM uses a lot of older moves, many of which date back to his SC1/SC2 version and have been made exclusive to Siegfried from SC3 on out or disappared from their movesets entirely.
This doesn't leave as many...
He actually has NLS as well. He might only have one of the side stances, but apart from that most of his options from SC 2 + GS seem to have been restored. Some of them (like his old NBSR AA) are also available from neutral now.
I had to take a moment to go through the list, but I suppose if I had to choose, it would be the whiffing issues Namco seems incapable of fixing. This is especially true for supposedly "guaranteed" combo follow-ups and whiff punishment that is turned around on you just because some stupid little...
Of course stepping should be punishable.
If you back- or sidestep a move successfully, you get free launchers. For the fundamental rock-paper-scissors system of the game to even work, step cannot be safe.
That being said, it'd be nice if they figured out how to do that without forcing the...
He was available as a separate character even in the original SC1, but is consistently ranked as one of the most popular characters.
I wouldn't be worried.
I'm pretty sure Panto is the one that said it. It definitely isn't a German proverb.
But hey, thanks for not forgetting me this time - and actually pronouncing my name correctly. TWICE. <3
Das eine führt zum anderen, mehr oder weniger. Ab nächstem Monat sollte alles wieder ein bisschen geordneter ablaufen und dann hab ich Muße und Lust, mich wieder all den kleinen und großen nerdigen Sachen zu widmen.
On the outside maybe.
But on the inside you're a bitter old man, spending your days drinking yourself into a stupor with cheap beer and reminiscing about the great time you had with that cute Chinese hooker when you were still a bonny lad.
