Yep, you're right. Maybe it has something to do with a move (creating the head crumple) being linear or half/full -circular.



You know that you care, b/c no matter how many times non-Japanese audience is getting effed up the bottom, we still hope that after all the pain we're gonna get a kiss, a chocolate and flowers, and it will turn out to be a true love instead of simple RAPE

Brad vs Taka

@1:37 Brad does 1P CH -> KPK for 60pts

I doubt that's it because both vanessa's boomerang hook and death scythe are semicircular yet they seem to produce different head crumples. BTW if there's not already a name for that kind of hit effect (hit to the head, opponent falls sideways) we might have to come out with one

How much does Brads wall throw do? does it still do 65 dmg

The wall throw has been reduced to 55 pts now with the down attack (13 pts) still guaranteed afterwards.

So instead of totalling 78 pts it's now 68 pts.

why do they always reduce brad....it makes me wanna quit

Damage on quite a lot of throws has been reduced, it's not specific to Brad...

And also, I got the impression that they did a lot to Brad, but he definitely wasn't "reduced". He's a monster now, and I'd love to play him now. He'd be more my main than he is my main now... he'd be "mainer"... my "mainest of main" characters

It's been awhile since I've concerned myself with VF5R Brad. Is the heavy down attack still guaranteed after his throw into the wall? If so, that's more damage than his wall throw with the light down attack now.

Brad's main reduction seems to involve his combos. Some damage on moves were reduced, and I haven't figured out how the damage scaling works now. I've seen at least one combo not connect at all anymore on a certain character, but he also may have gained some combos.

The highest damage combo off of now seems to be Ducking followed by a light down attack. Is the light down attack really inescapable?



Brad is mostly a combo character, and his throws are used to set up oki tactics. His combo damage may be reduced, but he generally has more opportunities to create combos than other characters.

I think the light down attack after may be guaranteed again, BTW.

If you're saying what I think you're saying, then no, it is not insescapable. Or rather, it can be blocked by simply holding while you're floating in the air.

You should instantly stand up with a standing guard. At least this is how it works in vanilla, not sure if it's different in R.
