Well he still has those stances that nobody cant control when you hit somebody. At least change that because Tago said in a interview that alot of his moves were junk so i thought they have maybe change a little of that but thats why i said that i will wait.

huh?! do you play Maxi? Everyone that participates in this soul arena are well versed at controlling his stances. They're not hard to do so I'm not sure what you mean. They got rid of some of the junk already.
 
I notice in the vids w/oosaka that when he sidesteps sometimes there's this grey flash, does that mean anything?

That's the new quick step. Pressing 22 or 88 (maybe other directions?) will allow you to do a better step at the expense of being vulnerable during it's active frames.

At least I think that's how it works.
 
I like that they're making 8WR stepping and the quick stepdash a viable choice based on conscious decision. Before i NEVER used to 8WR, I always used step. Now 8WR might be useful because it should be less vulnerable at the sacrifice of some evasion. nice change

Funny you say that. In SC1 all the way until SC3 I used nothing but 8wayrun and I was pretty good at all those games. In SC4 they nerfed the shit out of 8wayrun and made stepping the only good form of movement besides auto-evades and I haven't been the same in terms of movement since.

I was referring to SC4, but coming to think of it i hardly used it in the former games as well. In SC1 iirc 8WR was great especially with characters like Taki....i've seen her 8WR around mid horizontals even. 8WR opened you up to things like backdash counters back then though. SC2 was like STEP G period SO step had like no disadvantage whatsoever :/ and SC3 well...I dn't remember much, there were bigger things to worry about. SC4 was like the biggest nerf to 8WR indeed. I'm glad to see it back in SC5
 
Im very happy they still have my 4B~LI shift. Since they took away my 33bA, RC A (sc4 version), and LI Bg. Keeping that shift makes me happy.

but Im still looking for where they put sc4's RC A at! I think its totally gone!!
HRD
 
Shit, I'm happy with the way he's looking, but I want to complain about something...

Maxi's 3A+B looks like it might RO behind. Which is perfect, because I love doing slow lows with an edge at my back.
 
Thanks for the vid Saitoh. I can already tell that stage is going to be horrible for Maxi with backstep being as good as it is. Oh well, great match either way. Almost every round went down to the last one or two hits, heh.

Off-topic: Siegfried also looks better than he did at first, which I like.
