Just replying to some of the earlier posts, I don't think PP2KP is important, either. She doesn't need THAT string when her others may prove just as useful. If her 236PKP is as good as it was in Dimensions, then that will likely become many a players' finishing move. It was really, really good...

Helena is not dead - she's just not going to be played as much. Rest assured, some of us will carry her name

No. No character NEEDS tools to win. They help, sure, but if you're a good enough player, you can make almost any character in the game work. I think players are going to have to use steady mix-ups and throws for Helena to win, now. More throws than ever, really. If most of her attacks are mid...

Mask on, she is La Mariposa, the Luchadora. Mask off, her real identity is known, and so she's called Lisa. It is a matter of outfits that changes the name.

It looks like now her pp2k is as it were, just without the follow up and now guarantees a stun on hit. Not sure, but it's my guess

Yeah, Helena at least still looks like Helena. That's all I care about. Though I have to admit, her Power Blow looks really boring.

If we're talking about her DOAD incarnation (which is fairly likely what they will be building off of), she's really, really bad. Unless played online, then her throws become really difficult to duck and take out massive amounts of health. Her counters did no damage and didn't even guarantee her...

If (again, if) the last character really is Alpha 152, I'll be planning on taking time out of my day to systematically mock everyone who swore up and down that she wasn't going to be playable. That's why speculation is stupid - chances are you'll be wrong.

I don't want Helena to suck, but hey, whether she's good or bad is good for me. If she's good, then all the more reason to play her. If she's bad, then there won't be swarms of people gathering on top of her (something I dislike). So, in any case, Helena will be my main through thick and thin (...

Who cares if she's "good" or "bad." So long as she's playable (and still fun), I could care less what part of the tier list she's on.

I use the joystick on controllers (I can't use the D-Pad) and the D-Pad (DS analog is not good for fighters) on the 3DS

^ That's what I was thinking. For all we know, due to the different layout from what we're familiar with (and the odd pairings), they could just be older snapshots of already known characters.

Maybe you should open up some ports =P if not, you could have just had a bad-luck spree with the compatibility of your connections with everyone else

I might (thinking about it more) actually be able to spend a few nights at my friend's house up there. If he lets me, I'll take you up on that ride (and throw in some gas money, of course).

That would be great - but I hadn't planned on staying at a hotel there. I'll think about it, though. One trip down there saved is $15 I don't have to spend. Thank you for the offer.

*sigh* You had to go and make this more enticing...now I have to debate this all over again

Where in MD do you guys meet up? I moved here (Maryland) about a year ago now - about 30 minutes from Baltimore.

I think I'm sitting at S. I hit SS once but could only hold onto it for a week. Been an S ever since xD

Yes, Helena and Ryu did lose some combos, but, from my experience, Helena has at least gained new and improved combos/combo potential. I can't quite answer your question about the stun system, but I can assure you that you should find some of the adjustments to her enjoyable. EDIT: By the way...

I'm terribly unfamiliar with twitter, but I made an account just to address the recovery-frame issue. Who exactly do I send a tweet at for them to potentially read whatever it is I write?
