i agree with you, i don't know why they changed the Thunderknuckle's direction.

@2 and 3 because it cannot have the same direction than the burning kick ... They're no more punches or kicks

@DomDaDude--great job spotting that!!! =)

@Dom

I understand your reasoning, but I don't think this is the reason to be honest. Hsien-Ko's command grab and gong overlap. I think they wanted to standard-ify character movesets for new players. Helps drill in the concept that a certain motion GENERALLY produces a certain outcome.

@6 That's a stupid example. Hsien-Ko's may overlap but the system can detect the difference. Either Burning Kick or Thunder Knuckle needed a different input or simply not have either for 3 buttons which the Knuckle needs. I'm not trying to disprove you because it does make it scrub-friendly with a QCB motion being Tatsumaki-like and the QCF being an offensive type. It served 2 purposes, setting a general attack pattern through characters and a non-overlapping input. Though if you are going to try to complain about it, why don't you come up with a better solution?

For some ODD reason I thought that thunder knuckle was HCB punch. Nevermind; now I see why.

And second, I wasn't complaining about it. I just assumed they wanted to make C. Viper's moveset more standard.

@Minicree

nah, the question is why did Capcom pull a switcharoo on Viper's specials commands in (S)SF4 from the standard SF motion? Atleast in MvC3 her special command motion are closer to the stardard setup. Still, her Thunder Buckle and Seimic being switched would have appealed to the status quo. It should be Shoryuken motion for vertical/anti air moves and hadouken motion for horizontal/projectile moves but I don't mind her MvC3's setup that much. It's tolerable and it'll be the reason why I might main her along with her FADC mechanics.

@chowdizzle

By the same token, any move which would require you to input QCB(Viper's Thunder Buckle) would make them "scrub friendly" so what point are you trying to make? I doubt Capcom's intent was to make C.Viper noobfriendly but to standardize her input motions. That's not appealing to scrubs, that's appeals to the status quo Capcom had set originally and almost every fighting game with similar inputs to SF follow this formula.

wtf standify

it's just so you can bk and tk when you want too cause there isn't a punch/kick button only an attack button.

Dudes are trippin'. Viper won't be noob friendly for her advanced stuff. I personally am glad they changed the input. Wesker, Viper and another stylish character for me. Need another character with a trenchcoat besides Dante :( Gimme black coat Gambit now!

how do u do ex moves?

special moves are done by doing the motion and hitting the special button instead of an attack button. Remember that it costs one bar of hyper though.

@6
How do HCB and BDP overlap?

I have nothing against C.Viper but I would had preferred seeing M.Bison or Guile in her place.

@ #17: Someone had to represent the new age of Street Fighter (SF4 Series). So Viper was the perfect choice. She's the best fit person for this game out of people who were new to SF4.

my girl! <3
