Chun:
- Stun down on c.roundhouse (hard kick). Damage down on s.strong (medium punch). Both moves have the same hit properties.
- Her Focus Attack is now easier for opponents to hit.
- DF+Light Kick comes out slower, more vulnerability. Can still combo after it if it hits an airborne opponent.
- No changes to her specials.
El Fuerte
- More recovery on Quacamole on landing (EX included). Tortilla loses invincibility, can be countered more easily.
- More startup on El Fuerte Ultra Spark, damage down. The size of the hitbox changes with movement (...?), making it harder to hit overall.
[Corrections]
- Far standing jab (light punch) and crouching jab's start-up is now 4f, and there are more active frames as well. Crouching JAB can be chained (not short).
Sakura
- Close strong (medium punch) has less recovery, crouch strong and crouch forward (medium kick) can combo from hit confirm. Far strong can be cancelled same as Ryu. Vulnerable hitbox on far forward reduced, making it harder to hit her out of it.
- Air Tatsu can get more airborne hits. Other various adjustments on making hitboxes bigger, damage, and recovery done to make her stronger.
[Corrections]
- Less recovery on each level of Hadouken
Cody
- Crouch short (light kick) now comes out in 3 frames. Frame advantage on hit is still the same. Should be more useable as a low poke with reach.
- Until now, on a grounded opponent, the first hits of EX Criminal Upper didn't connect, but now they will. The range at which Cody can pick up the knife has increased.
[Corrections]
- Crack Kick (F+HK) gets more juggle (not Ruffian)
Next week - Honda, Gouken, Rose, Ibuki
Q&A Translations from Street11
Q&A
[Ken]
Q: Is it possible to do LP SRK -> EX SRK in the corner?
Close standing Jab hitbox increased -> Does it mean that it hits all crouching characters?
EX Air Tatsu changed to high attack from overhead -> Is there any change in hitbox?
I feel it was hard to hit crouchers in the first place...
A: LP SRK -> EX SRK in the corner is still possible in SSF4 AE
Close standing Jab would have less tendency to whiff,
and there are no changes to hitbox in EX Air Tatsu.
[Claw]
Q: Also, is it possible to do Cosmic Heel -> Scarlet Terror after changes?
Makes me wonder seeing how its recovery on block increased.
A: We increased the recovery frames of Cosmic Heel on block, so it is possible to do current combos on hit.
We changed it so that if the opponent blocks at the tip of CH it's even.
[Rufus]
Q: Complaints about Rufus nerfs
A: You can use EX Messiah as it is right now since there are no changes to invincibility and frame data.
[Fei Long]
Q: Impressions about Fei's changes
A: Not only Fei Long, but we changed stuffs in all characters, blah. (Sry, I'm in a hurry here)
[Juri]
Q: I have questions about Juri's changes.
When the Fufajin KICK hits the opponent, does it put opponent in juggle and unrecoverable knockdown like jumping MP?
In that case, does HK Senpusha (Wheelkick) connect fully?
~ are there no changes to Juri's normals at all?
A: About Fufajin Kick, it does put the opponent in juggle state and would be an unrecoverable knockdown.
We couldn't say everything about the changes, but we altered some in her normals as well.
