That's fine though. Since you can stun with many different (and quicker moves), i.e.
, which chains to the barrage of strikes by tapping another
, which still puts you in stun, then you can pretty much go anywhere from there. She's really good now. Also, as you mentioned, the added sidestep feature is fantastic.
Having a sidestep after her
is also very nasty.
Her
which was previously a mid is now high. I dont really understand why they got rid of like her only mid kick launcher
Personally, I prefer
as a mid kick launcher. i.e. use
to bait, cancel the last input and hit with
for a lovely juggle. Once they wise up to that tactic, mess about with mid punch launchers or just throw.
Her
is still a move I like to use, but it's trickier to connect, but you have the added benefit of being in Back Turn so you could follow with
for another mini launch and then fire away. I found
easier to connect after a side step, but it's still not that safe.
Also, I agree with the backdash. Man that opens up a lot of opportunities. Back dash and kick is nice
and many many more.
@ILYA, no I'm fairly certain that
is still there. I was just mentioning that you cannot link punches to
anymore.
I remembered another move they took out. She used to be able to do
; however, you can't do the last kick anymore. I'm not fussed about this because I hardly ever did the last kick. Chances are that a good opponent will wise up from the first hit and either counter low expecting low kick or counter high expecting the hop kick (so chances connecting all four hits is slim unless you're fighting someone who's never seen Chrisite before), so I prefer to do the first kick and cancel, then punish with a mid or a throw.
She has a really nice new move that I've yet to put in my rotation to be honest. If you do
, she does the barrage of strikes that we all know and love. However, hold the last P instead, and she charges and pushes back on guard, you can hit
from there and she launches upward and you can continue the chain.
She's just lovely this time around, isn't she?
