Minato noticed on Momochi and ChocoBlanka's blog that an interview with a top SSF4 C. Viper player, Uryo, was posted. Tetra, ChocoBlanka and Nemo apparently were all involved in putting this together. Luckily, it's already translated into English, and there are a few match highlights at the start.I would like to know what do you think about your current main in AE? (Strength/weakness, attractive part, etc)
Uryo: Viper and Sakura. I am still thinking about my main. I got a feeling I will go with Viper in the end.
Strengths:
Viper is top class in attacking.
Sakura has damage that rivals every other character.
Weakness:
Viper don't have stable playstyle and she doesnt have 3 frame attacks.
Sakura's backstep is way too weak.
This answer pretty much sups up AE for me...
"３、ＡＥの嫌いなところを挙げてください。
What do you not like about AE?
ゲームに参加出来てないキャラが多すぎるところ
Alot of characters not used in the game."
i still doubt yun and yang are THAT good, outside genei-jin doing disgusting damage... i think once people are comfortable playing vs them that they will not be top 3 in the tiers. probably still top tier, but not "the 2 best in the game". but thats just imo.
Ono is a big troll admitting that he wanted the game to have "god tiers". I mean why the hell would he want that after having a really well balanced game for the most part with SSF4. I mean the point of SF4 was revamping the series and making it one of the most balanced games out there, and now Ono comes saying he purposely made AE like that, that makes NO sense. Why throw it all away and doing a game where top players only use 12 characters at most?
There is never a truly balanced game [especially Street Fighter]. SF has always been about variety! You are naturally going to have characters developed more than others and that is always purposley done by Capcom. SSF4 AE is no different. Those crying and whining for balance [characters being equal relatively close] need to stop whining because it is never going to be what you want it to be.
The only thing you can truly control IS your own playing skills!!
Thanks Eventhubs for the interview.
５、そのメインキャラを使っていて、戦い易い相手と、苦手な相手を教えてください。
In regards to your main character, who is a easy/difficult opponent?
【ヴァイパー】Viper
戦い易いEasy opponent
ダルシムDhalsim
今回のダルシムはキャラ差がやばい（笑）The match up against dhalsim in this version is crazy(haha).
苦手Difficult opponent
得になし No one.
that sentence made me poop a little lol
Due to her playstyle Viper doesn't change how she's played against most characters, if you are good at her you are good at fighting the rest of the cast. Doesn't mean she is THAT strong but at least it gets rid of the bad matchup problems a lot of other characters are having. Sakura on the other hand, has devastating character specific combos but is really bad against many characters.(Gief, Dictator etc)
Wait a sec. First he says:
２、ＡＥの好きなところを挙げてください。
What do you like about AE?
スト４に比べて(まだ)バランスが良くなったとこかな（笑）
When compared to SF4 currently, the game is probably kinda balanced quite well(haha)
but then...
３、ＡＥの嫌いなところを挙げてください。
What do you not like about AE?
ゲームに参加出来てないキャラが多すぎるところ
Alot of characters not used in the game.
so he's basically saying AE is (better) balanced but people just aren't using the other characters?
@Endgame
Thanks! I guess I drank a bit too much of the 'omg yun/yang so op' kool-aid that's been going around, needed a bit of common sense knocked into me.
@muais79
+1 that!
Big props to all the Japanese people working to bring us their info and hype. Big cheers to Choco, Tokido, the godsgarden crew, et. al.
Uryo's the man.
