Demo play

I was fortunate enough to be able to try a demo of the game at the Ubisoft booth at Sydney Supanova. It was extremely limited with only a single vs CPU mode and only a small number of the current SCIV roster being selectable (Kratos and Dampierre were there but 'not available').
I only tried out Hilde so the changes I noticed are mostly garnered from her.
- Full Doom combo no longer works; 44K no longer does slide-kickback from C3B (does a light bounce instead). I couldn't re-pickup with C2B.
- C2AA no longer has slide ring out from distance. Need to be closer to the edge to get the them out now.
- CF has changed. The input for CF now seems to do a special attack that will only CF when landing it breaks the SG. Whilst I could get them down to red just like the console version, I couldn't break via normal SG damage. I only got this off once though so I'm not sure how accurate this is.

Apart from those few points the game engine looks largely unchanged from SC4 and looks to be a rather good port.

Those sound like good nerfs. I think I remember suggesting they take away the air hit stun from 44K a while ago so that's cool (I'm not crediting myself for calling it or anything though, I'm just happy to see it implemented). I don't know what to think of the new input for CF, it seems we don't know too much about it yet anyways, but it can't be anything gamebreaking. Thumbs up for NB. Now just release this as a patch sometime down the road :)
 
They weren't available in the demo. Hilde's other moves seemed to be intact; B+K combos still work fine.

did you test out c3a c2bb c2aa? If c3a still ground slides into c2bb pickup then I really can't complain much.
 
All other subsets of the doom combo still work; C3A C2BB etc are all still good; just the ringout effect has been drastically reduced.

Yeah like I said, extremely limited demo. I really wanted to try out the new characters.

You should have played Mina and Rock. That's far more important.

They can't.

If Mina/Rock are top tier... (and Hilde nerfed) it'll destroy the internet.
"Rock Combos" would exceed "Micheal Jackson" in Search engine requests.
 
Thanx Cyraxis for the info. I know you've only played Hilde and face against the CPU. Did you get to face against Cervantes?

If so do you notice anything different about him? Like do you see moves that he didn't do in SC4? What do they look like?

bahahahahahahaha! Interesting that no one has asked if Algol has been Nerfed that ive read (a little lazy). A frequent and in my opinion clever suggestion that i see for Algol is that he gets a force meter like the star wars characters for his bubbles. Something like that would be very cool indeed :). Also the character creation mode seems to have gotten a boost but unless they give it alternate fighting styles like SC3 i cant see anyone really caring
 
Nobody's gotten their hands on the new Algol yet. He wasn't in the demo, so it doesn't make sense to be asking about him.

SC3's bonus move sets were a bad idea that was tolerated by some and resented by others.
