VF5 Ver.B Sarah Command List

Awesome!

Thanx so much Myke. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Edit: NOOO!!!! THROW DAMAGE NERFS!!!! Arrgg i guess sweet pain made sense cause 62 dmg for a fast character like Sarah is kind of scary but the wall throw too? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

I'm liking all the new circulars, 3PK being +6 on hit is really cool too, just like EVO. If her stagger from P4K on crouching is real good I can live with -1 on hit. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Excellent job on Sarah's list Myke. Like I said in my earlier post in the VF5 Sarah Thread, she is now my number one character in VF5. The only gripe I have on Sarah is that her Spinning Scarecrow is now a half-spin attack. My guess is that the move was a bit too powerful in EVO so Sega had to weaken the move slightly. Other than that, kudos to Sarah!

 

The first thing I've noticed, after a brief glance while at work, is that even characters such as Akira and Jacky now have 11f /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif. So far, out of the characters documented for VF5, only Wolf has a 12f /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif.

This means that, against most characters, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif(hit)->4/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif is no longer a valid string. The opponent can simply /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif out of the Switch Kick (and get a Counter Hit on Sarah). /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

Hitting /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif and going for counter hit/crouch stagger 4/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif was a huge part of my arsenal in Evo. Guess it's back to Elbow for now.

 

Wow. Considering that no one really ever dominated as her in major tourneys, (I mean, even BlackWidow wasn't doing so hot in the Evo replays) it's amazing how much they felt she had to be nerfed. I think they overdid the nerfing... probably out of spite for Suzuki leaving.

Oh well, she's still my #1.

By the way, Valkyrie Flight is listed twice.

Hey, I notice that now she has this backroll from flamingo. ( /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif ) Is this the same as /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif from flamingo in VF4/Evo, or a new move? If the former, what does pressing /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif in flamingo do now? If the latter, just what does it do?

 

Another interesting note is that, since /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif is now +2 on guard, versus those 12f /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gifers like Wolf and Jeffry, even if they Guard your /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, Elbow is still a "safe" followup, which they can't hit you out of.

 

Will Sarah new moves be usefull?

 

Well I finally got to play her yesterday, and man was I having fun. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif being safe is really cool, at least in my unsafe opinion lol.

I screwed up so many times cause I forgot /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif is now /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif. But overall I can't wait to play with her again to try her new Step/Flamingo stuff some more.

She still funs as all hell.

 

After reading the wolf thread and seeing how to kill a frame it opened my eyes to why bounce combos work now, thanks fellas.

Sarah: om+k(ch),4k+g,33 or 11 let go to neutral and p(This allows the next move to rebounce),4k+g,7k+g.

Peace ^-^

Edit:
Just did the combo without it, so I don't really know where you can and can't apply killing a frame. If anyone knows please do tell, thanks.

 

bounce combos involving slam hits mostly do not require you to spend the 1 frame.

Usually 1 frame delay involves bouncing opponents off the ground with low punch. This differs from character to character.

 

I finally got to play this game. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

I can't believe they got rid of her /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif ... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Oh well. Them new kicks sure are pretty. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif The /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif series is especially nice. Delay that to the max for some surprise smacks. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

 

Zero thinks the jab knee string command (VF4FT's P2K) change to P2K for VF5.

 

I think zero means "changed to P4K for VF5"

 

I meant the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif from Evo. I didn't know it was removed from FT. (never seen FT anywhere)

This new /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif isn't doing it for me.

 

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif is a real shame cause it's her FT one, except now it's -1 on hit. Meaning it's usefulness is narrowed down to anti-crouching poke. The nice thing is it staggers just like EVO (in FT it didn't do crap) so if you do catch a crouch you can force some choice tactics on him.

I like the new Cresent Heel. While it's more disadvantage on block than the old one, it's 6 frames faster and has more range. It's like Jacky's slam kick. And she can do the afforementioned slam combos with them. I think this move is a safe bet for combo starts when you are at a large enough advanate, might be great for delay too.

I noticed in play her new /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif can be hard to see coming, and you can fake it to the mid kick ender to catch a croucher. I think it's good for a round ender.

Anyone notice the new low kick from Flamingo Switch Kick /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif, it's got a bit of a wind up (and I doubt it's evasive like the sweep) but it's apparently safe on block (woah), gives you significant advantage on hit (you get a true nitaku), and CRUMPLES ON CH!!! Damn, probably sounds better on paper than in the match but that's sounds hot.

 

The /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif is missing in the command list /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
