If you guys really want to watch those Beijing vids then you may want to try different times of day, I kept trying and it was moving at a snails pace but eventually hit a time were they were loading almost as fast as youtube vids.
It's actually not 0 frame, more like 3 or so. I've used it many times while the opponent is in the air descending before and they were able to land and block it.
Hmm, you sure? The guy does it twice on an airborne Mature in the last vid and both times she seems to be frozen in the air on activation and continues to be frozen in the same spot and frame when he starts the slash and move his arm. The only time I can't see her is when he actually hits her (her sprite sorta disappears from view (part of the effects?).
Eitherway, its a lot faster than I thought it was.
that actually sucks. i still remember that nm's where exdm speed during the loketests. they changed most of them, they probably still have the same priority as exdm's (at least i pressume some do?), but not the speed (cvs2 level 3 super style speed and priority). i think it wasnt even needed to downgrade them that much, especially considering ex dm's do almost as much damage (maybe a 100 less), cost 1 stock less and dont use dc bar at all instead of all the hd bar. for all that extra meter/s the nm'sshould have exdm speed and priority imo. not a huge deal ofcourse, but for all that meter a little more security would have been nice.
No, its fine. Iori's makes for one heck of an anti-air and counter move so it will definitely come in useful when in a pinch.
I'm glad the neomaxes aren't overpowered while still retaining the "oh shit!" factor.
