SoulCast #32: The ToucheCast

This is one of the best Soulcasts to date, the detail of going through every move and giving them a specific niche is really usefull. Good job guys, definitely raising standards.

I have 2 questions, why did they remove raph's teleport from sc4 and why is Necro Form so awful.

Teleport was an A+K command, and those ended up getting moved to a different command or removed altogether for most people. Raphael was special in that his was consolidated somewhat into Necro Form - you'll notice B+K on whiff has the same animation that his teleport had. My best guess to why it was removed probably has to do with the balance team not wanting Raphael to be able to switch sides at will, since movement is so inherently risky. Then again, all forms of A+K were extremely risky to just throw out. It's hard to say exactly why they removed it.

Necro Form itself isn't necessarily bad, but as I said, it's extremely limited in its application because of its late window which prevents use against strings, and limits it mostly to slow, telegraphed verticals. Because of that, you either have to use it only in those situations, or have godlike yomi that would make Daigo blush.

Something I DID forget to mention about B+K is that if you successfully use it against a move even at distance, Raphael will teleport right up to them and do his attack. You can use this to fairly good effect against Ezio and his crossbows if he persists in pestering you with them at a distance.
 
Ah thanks for clearing that up heaton, it's still lame that agol get to keep his little chair teleports at will, while raph gets the short end of the stick.

It's also such a shame that Necro Form is so unreliable though, I love using move that catch your opponent off guard because they are so rarely used (such as Yoshimitsu's iron fist possessions, or tiras gloomy Gi).
