Evo lion move

I was watching several lion movies to see how he changed during evo, and i noticed a weird move where lion pokes the opponent and it looks sorta like he gets hit but he doesnt...It is always a knee/kick that is "blocked" too...

Is this some sort of weird new sabaki or something? If it is why do opponents keep insisting on counter attacking using a knee or kick...

Twobitmage is confused
Excuse my idiocy

 

Are you talking about the move which stuns the opponent. I find it to be pretty useless even though I do it once in a while. It knees the guy and staggers him so that you can throw him or do a quick combo. Really, really hard to hit the opponent unless he's standing there and just blocking.

 

Just a tip from experience.

For those playing the new EVO Lion, try this move on your opponent. It is more like a guessing game for the opponent. Don't abuse it so much because the animation is slow. Use it when you need to finish the game /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

++, (back-turned) + , or

++, (back-turned) + (the new back-turned mid-hit), or

++,+ (no back-turned)

So they took out the spinning + move in evo ? and the ++ ? dang and I liked the latter alot

 

The spinning move is +,, and it is indeed gone, but I don't think that will break too many lion players hearts as it was a pretty worthless move. And dont worry about the new ++, it is propably my favorite new move of his. Its an eye poke move and if it hits, the opponent staggers backwards, creating a nice 50/50 guessing game. Losing the old ++ isn't too bad, I'd always prefered ++ to it anyways.

 

+ was an awesome move -- completely uncounterable, and because so many people thought it was a crap move they would try and clobber you with a counter attack. I used + - dodge quite a bit and it was very effective. I'd usually dodge into +. I agree on ++ though, I rarely used the VF4 version, however I really ike the EVO version.

Actually I used the old + alot in combos just to look cool /versus/images/icons/smirk.gif ahh well the new one sounds better.

 

The is a good move to use when it is a close-range fight. /versus/images/icons/smile.gif It sometimes dodges throws and high punches. Or is it my imagination?
