Evo akira SPOD uselless??

first of all just one to say hello as it s my first post.

Has i haven t played yet vf evo ( not yet dispo in paris....) my suposition are purely based on video and what i have read.

so, has you know SPOD make less dommage now, but it s still very long to execute, and it let you in a very long frame disavantage.

In comparation , now yoho is a better float, shorter to execute (instead of you have to imput the command and not just putch 3 butons) and the frame disavantage it s better that SPOD (in guard impact).
don t know exactly witch one will make more dommage ( not consireding wall condition witch may make spod more dommageable) .

so here is my question, do you think that we just have to forget SPOD and just use YOHO?
(i m not speaking about next a sabaki or in several wall condition like next sgplm).

thanks

 

ranix... another nice pro for the spod is that if the first hit connects vs. a grounded enemy the rest ALWAYS hits... but a yoho when the opponent is right against the wall, or a yoho vs. a crouch defender... might get you nothing. SPoD also has more forward range I think.

 

plus it's damn stylish!!!!
waheeeeeee.... /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif

 

no it's not... well, when you're first starting the SPoD looks cool. after doing it a tonsa times though it becomes to look dull. but it's like myke said; one of the semi-circular attacks that he has. and when you consider that you're beaning the opponent for a guarenteed 60+ pts of damage(i dunno how much the EVO SPoD does, and too lazy to look it up) for dodging to your back, that's really something.

 

well i've done it at least 1,500 times and i still think it's cool...
