I hear ya. It does look like mids that use to whiff on him before hit now though but the tricky bastard has a move where he lays completely flat and then goes into stance again to avoid those mids.

Here's SeishunBlaze playing as Jean. Killer combos

new jean vs eileen. well new to me hope it's not a repeat

Shows some of eileen's new changes.

her 46K+G now looks to crumple on hit instead of that shitty stagger that anyone with half a nut sack could struggle out of. Hope it's still special high though.

P.S. OMFG that jean player was stubborn as hell in the last round refusing to stop ducking. After the 3rd crouch stagger you'd think he'd stand up for the throw. I could feel the frustration in the eileen player cuz that's happened to me sometimes.

 

Are you Biggz? If not, ignore me lol.

 

<span style='font-family: Comic Sans MS'>All man that was to good; (Shun's wall throw) one of the better ones that fit the fighter. Anyone know what he was saying during the throw animation? I said it before I'll say again; Shun is looking wicked! Thanks for the Vid.</span>

 

I like what they've done with Shun -- he really looks like he's fighting with drunken fist style now. However, perhaps AM2 should think about toning down his damage potential. Currently he's hard to hit and hits hard, a deadly combo.

 

I agree here, his style looks very cool now, but his damage potential especially with drunken points is bit too high.

ps. I wonder if its easier to hit lying down Shun with the new low punch animations...

 

Could be, at close range anyway. I almost wonder if this partially the reason they gave Jacky his new low special kick. You've always been able to wreck shun as he hits the ground with 66K using Jacky, and similar type attacks with others, but this new kick will certainly help in this regard.

Really, his laying down at a distance doesn't overpowered in the least to me outside of maybe running the clock lol. His new punch out of it will make you think twice before immediately attacking it, but otherwise, he's somewhat of a sitting duck if the Shun player doesn't have an immediately plan in mind.

 

<span style='font-family: Comic Sans MS'>LoL, nicely put Ice-9. That drunk is getting harder to hit with each passing video I see.</span>

 

Shun isn't exactly a sitting duck in that stance to say that is a little extreme. Even though he cant block most characters can only get a low kick in to stop the stance and that's just not damaging enough when you consider the damage Shun can do to you in that stance (especially now in R where the stance seems to be pretty primary).

 

I can agree with this. I wouldn't mind seeing counter hits against the stance act like he got counter hit from standing.

 

I need to remember to use the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif trick before someone lands a hit when Shun's lying down. This used to be a good trick in previous versions but I never see anyone do it anymore, including me.

The game treats this as getting hit while not lying down because imputing guard makes Shun start to stand up. Often people that try to pounce after a low kick will end up getting a hop punch. Anyone remember this trick?

That aside, I of course can't wait to try Shun in R. I've always thought while his lay down stance is decent he didn't have enough to choose from and moves took way too long, except of course for /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif.

It's too soon to tell but I also agree with the fact that it might be a little much (devastating).

 

Giving him the mule kick in this lying down stance is not a good idea imo, since some characters will only have a chance to hit him with low attacks that makes it really hard now. It was already hard for some, and being hit by a semi random KP2KK really hurts
They should not alow him to combo after the mule kick in this stance to be fair imo.
From the early vids I'm really worried about his balance, even with the sabaki of doom weakened, his lying down stance seems too strong. Deceptiveness + good reward + mid risk + fast lateral movement with what seems like a short recovery = seems too much.
If he can quickly do lateral movement into KP2KK or that new catch throw it will be something hard to fight against.

 

Honestly, if the game isn't more balanced than 5, there's no point in all the updates. They HAVE to improve the balance.

 

Has anyone posted this video before?[/size]

Seconded for youtube mirror. Nico Video hates my computer.

 

Is that all you care about? Damage!? What about tradation? Honor? Moves that tech-crouch and slam down on normal hit!?

I spam that hell outta that move..XD

No one ever knows it's punishable...NO ONE

Not even Vanessa players. XD

 

It's free damage in 5 if you're patient and smart. You control all the space in the world if you pay attention to Shun. So I stick with the sitting duck comment. In R? yeah, not so much of a sitting duck lol. I understand the argument though about the damage reward being so little. But if you tap him while he's in transition to that stance or on CH, the ball is entirely in your court as to what happens next.
