Nice update! Now lets hope that my SHADOW LAB downloads correctly this time and is playable!!! If it does not Im going to be really PO since that is my favorite mode in the game.
Hoping some of the looseness of the combos is gone as well. I swear the hit stop is too short and Ive seen several times where my opponent can get back to blocking out of hit stun mid combo.
Anxious to test out Mira and get my Omen Shadow back on track
My heart still yearns for the old TJ at competitive scenes. Since his update, I hardly see him being used. He was one of the funnest players to see.
Yeah, I am also four weeks without Shadow Lab!
You too? SO you, I, Stan the Man, and someone else on here has been without. Did James Goddard contact you? He has contacted me and Stan, both gave him speed tests and time stamps to see if they could fix it… still no luck.
No, but I did report it.
The shadow searing skull changes hurt, but fair enough I suppose. Tagging a shadow curse on top of an instinct curse was very strong as it meant you could prevent them from gaining any instinct meter even on a successful break. Oh well.
I can’t see a fix for shadow cold shoulder being fully invulnerable before the freeze (I reported it back in season 2).
Good notes though, excited for the patch.
No. I think you misunderstood. Special moves are openers, but not all special moves have ‘opener cancels’ into autodoubles available. For instanct, Jago’s Wind Kick is an opener, and it has opener cancels into autodoubles. Jago’s fireball is also an opener, but you cannot use autodoubles after one.
All opener means is that everything afterward is breakable.
So basically all it means is that the sword normals function exactly like Shago’s Back+HK Axe Kick, correct?
That’s what I suspected.
Gooood.
GOOOOOODDD.
The salt will flow.
Wow!! That’s a lot of changes!
I’m a little disappointed there wasn’t a few more adjustment to Kim Wu. In particular, I was hoping for an increase in priority to her Dragon Kicks. It still feels weird to lose on a dragon kick vs a jumping Galcius medium kick. With so much recovery, the move just seems to be easily punished by other character normals.
Also, I know it’s in this patch since it was showed at the PAX stream, but the option to turn of Level 4 enders were not in the patch note.
I guess that leaves hope that there will also be a way to have random select themes as well.
Got it. When I read “openers” I was thinking of things that go into the “Combo Openers” section of a command list, like Glacius’ Ice Lance and Maya’s Axe Kick.
If you cross behind your opponent with your dash and press P, you will now trigger the vertical version of Dark Fury instead of the angled version. (This change was made to reduce frustration in fighting against this tactic. It decreases its effective range, but if an opponent is not blocking crossup, they will still get hit by Dark Fury in much the same way as before, and all the same juggles will be possible, so we still expect this technique to be very strong. The main goals here are to allow an opponent to better punish Shadow Jago for a successful block or dodge, and to adjust the risk/reward on this technique.)
I encountered this technique for the 1st time the other night…it was very frustrating to say the least! I didnt even know you could do that…and I could not see it coming.
Fixed a bug causing Rash to start on a later frame of his Run when canceled into from Big Bad Boot, leaving him more advantaged than intended. (With these 3 changes, he now has the same frame advantage on a run cancel as he does if he didn’t run cancel the Big Bad Boot attack. Because of the fast paced nature of the game and the speed of Rash’s overall pressure, we still expect run cancel boot to be quite useful in Rash’s offense.)
To me it seems like Rash has Frame advantage all the time…not just here. No matter what you do he can beat you to the punch or throw. I just dont understand how to consistently have any sort of advantage against Rash with Omen. If there is an area where Omen excels against Rash, someone please let me know.
Didn’t see lvl 4 enders toggle on/off. Is it a thing in this patch?
Rip Tele-Wu bug… I wanted to see it as a feature in Instinct or something, since she has bad openers. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that gamebreaking since you have to spend meter right? Plz Keitz… 
They showed it off at the PAX stream, so it probably is. Probably just an oversight in the patch notes.
That shouldn’t be the case, with the removal of the run cancel he now has no plus specials, and for his normals only his crouching light kick is plus. If he’s beating you to the punch then you’re not pressing your button early enough.
Yes, I believe this is it at the top:
Added Toggle for Cinematic Ender Cameras under Help & Options –> Display.
That’s a terrible decision. It’s as if they want us to only gravitate to season 3 characters.
