Anyone familiar with Raiden? Can someone familiar with him check if the damage done by the Drop Kicks has been changed?



I have mixed feelings about the whole redubbing. Iori now sounds very different, while Mai and Yuri have become even more annoying. Something that should have been impossible.

As for the extra stages, Elisabeth's Garden seems to be the best; I hope the Rooftop Stadium improves, even if it's just a bit.

The Max charged Drop Kick does for about 250 damage, so with jab -> Drop Kick -> jab -> Drop Kick (sans scaling) you have for about 50% damage; those 2 were level 4 charged kicks, so that's the cap for it.

.... Now the thing is, those Drop Kicks were charged in for about 40 seconds (pre round time + round time).... I wonder if you need to charge THAT MUCH to get to level 4.

Also the drop kicks have a different hit animation; I thought that I read you can't follow up the Drop Kick in the middle of the screen, but with that hit stun the EX tackle should land perfectly. The catch? you need to charge the tackle before releasing the Kick. I can see a short jumping B reaching there too, depending on how high the Kick landed.

Just watched the new trailer, I love what they've done with this promo. I am now energized, to get through the day.
Next week-ish I am putting a pre-order down. I just hope there isn't time limit for picking up the bonus music.

Do you have a sample of the new redubbing somewhere? Is it even the same voice actor?

Search for the gamespot videos, they are direct feed and thus you can heard the voices clearly; they are in the middle or something?

BTW, there have been no voice actor changes and I really don't know what made people get that idea. At most it sounds like the same VA redubbed the character for the game, but even that it's hard to tell

It wasn't as bad as I imagined, but he just says "Kyah" a lot. I'm a little relieved.

This isn't a magazine scan but probably a retailer's leaflet, no wonder I didn't find it in Arcadia or other periodicals.

Let the (needless and baseless) speculation begin!

[Fuu]

could totally be Oswald and K49(yeah right) or Tall Malin. Or could be Short Oswald and Malin.
Actually the images might be warped so yeah, I say Oswald and Malin.

Editing my post to add Slim Yamazaki to the possibilities

[Yuki Yagami]

My bets...

1st Image: Nameless
2nd Image: Yamazaki (unless... We get EX Kyo, Kyo in '99 costume with '98 Moveset)

There is this rumor that Rock Howard is going to be a DLC, supposedly the rumor comes from an european source (neo empire maybe?), but not that french guy that pretty much foretold everything that was shown in the Evo build.

Personally, I doubt it. First Rock is not that popular at all outside the US, specially compared to other Garou characters. Secondly, we have that Rock is for about the same age range that Kim's sons; and those 2 are still brats aged at 10 or so. In 2k3 Garou team ending there it was this guy who resembled adolescent Rock, but they never told you if it was him or not as he had no lines and no relevance (then again, with that he already resembles him).


Because I want to.

Iori '95 stage is in? Love is back.

[Anti-K']

The only people who want Rock are CvS2 players.

[hadoolket]

i'm not a big fan of rock, though i like cvs2, he just shares moves with terry bogard which kills any uniqueness factor, which is also exactly why i don't really care to have the kim twins in either, and if i had a choice for who to have in motw, it'd either be tizoc or jenet, and they've already been in before so it wouldn't be novel entries
