It took a while to download, as unfortunately unlike those in the US, I couldn't pre-download it, but I did get about an hour to play on it last night. As I was feeling a bit tired I didn't venture online yet, so thought I'd check out the new characters in training mode first.
I had a bit of a feel for them from watching some videos (Surprisingly I'd never played any of them in previous games). But generally I was never a huge fan of Poison or Hugo, never liked Rolento and Elena was a bit 'meh'. But I had a quick play around and generally had my suspicions confirmed with those - I'm not saying they're bad, just that they're not really my cup of tea! I think Hugo might grow on me a bit, it's mainly his silly wobbly head that annoys me, and his alternative costumes cover that up!
Decapre did interest me a bit though in the lead up! When first announced I was a bit anti, purely because I dislike Cammy - so effectively a Cammy clone didn't interest me. But when I saw Dave from Capcom UK (SF Community Manager) player with her at MCM, my interest was piqued.
I really like Decapre's move set, its quite a nice interesting mix of specials to call from (though not sure about her charge air spiral arrow...?) and with the cool glove blade thing going on some of her normals are quite fun and impressive! I think she is going to be a character that could do quite well from the new Double Ultra Combo system Ultra has introduced, as both of her Ultras look like they're pretty good.
But worry not, while I did rather like playing Decapre - I will be sticking with Juri as my main! But I did have in my mind the notion I should probably learn to play a charge character, and Decapre might well be the one I go with (either her or Blanka).
I'm nowhere near good enough to be figuring out combos and what not so I'll probably have to wait until some guides are up for her, but I'll try and have a look for a generic 'how to play charge characters' guide in the mean time.
But tonight, after I get back from the gym, I'll spend a bit more time in training mode with Juri, see if I can get her LP, LP, fs.MP, Fireball combo down and then start going to work on the online game!
