Shen : 
Takuma bug (command throw SDM CABC seems to work)

Should we stick this in the bug thread?

Can I assume there will be more characters not usually in the spotlight that will get some info?  Remarkably small info on what Athena's changes are and she probably does need some buffs to be competitive.

Absolutely every char will be tested.
Today they made japan,Elisabeth,fatal fury,kim,women and K' team.

Tomorrow there is a tournament on the console version, dunno if they will test the over char, but if it's not tomorrow it will be sunday

I often wonder WHY Athena needs any buffs... lol. Weak Phoenix arrow is safe to all but throws, Strong one is safe at range, she has a great zoning game between psycho balls and hops with command normal, she can drive cancel mid screen combos into Teleport-> Psycho Sword, she has a great DM for countering people, a great EX DM that juggles for great damage, the EX DM can now be done in mid air, and she can mix up teleports cancelled into command throw.

If Command throws can now universally be drive cancelled into moves, she just earned more damage off her normal command throw, too.

Maybe she could use some damage buffs... but she overall seems very solid, when people learn to play her.

[sibarraz]

It's always cool to see athena's playing, still, 1 or 2 buffs will not harm anyone

[SAB-CA]

Oh yeah, not opposed to her getting some Buffs, I just think her feature set is much better than the players we often see, give her credit for.

Safe approaches, a teleport that works for extended combos, a good ground and aerial command normal, ability to follow after her fireball for hit-confirms into combos, command throw that opens up for combos, solid low-meter corner juggles, and pretty decent HD combos at mid screen and corners... all mixed in with very solid normals, projectile reflects, and great overall mobility.

She already HAS a lot of the stuff that we're asking for on King and Mai, lol.

I post the rough schedule time on commentary.

[DarKaoZ]

^Awesome thanks for taking the time for that. But I must say, what I liked the most of all the video was the chicks that have been appearing several times. lol

[Amedø310]

No mention of Kyo's qcf+B?
What about the Esaka and Iori 95 stages?
Did K' lose "st. a on air opponent, qcb+k in corner?

[sibarraz]

mmm, I'm the only one who thinks that those stages will be used as ''compatibility packs'' to assure people to download said updates

That, or they will come with the DLC characters lol

IIRC No.17 used that on the console version at EVO in a video he recorded, so I think that is still in.

I haven't been on DC for a few weeks but i was just checking the 'updated' Atlus website and read the Women's team story where it says that B.Jenet might be in it if she makes it through the preliminaries:

"from the sound of the article, it looks like Jenet is planning to enter KOF"

"Huh...? wait, she's not going to enter with an all-girl team is she?"

"it sounds like that's what she's planning to do. When this article was written, the application deadline hadn't passed yet, so she didn't specify who she was entering with."

Sounds good to me.
