Well since nobody else seems to play Sion (Well they do but they like never come here.) I thought id try to liven up these parts of the forum by Copying everyone else. MBAA TALK
Anyways my impressions so far from the Joybox vids are that
Crescent moon:
I think I saw one person play her and she seemed pretty much unchanged combo and move wise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y09EJCV-fq4 Shes different compared to MBAC Sion, not completely different, but different. Her 2c and 6c have faster startup, her 6b seems to have less range, her j214a seems to act as a fastfall, giving a landing cancel and being possibly safe on block. In the vid just posted her combos seem different. bnb into 3b(c? now) 421c j214a 5[c]2awhiff6]b[ 214b is her cutting sync now it seems. She also gains an EX gunshot and a Claw Like attack in the air. Also can do a double aircombo with 3b j.[c] j.[c] land jbc jbc ender.
Half Moon:
WHOA WHERE THE FUCK DID HER DAMAGE GO!? Never mind. People played her wrong, but she gets a non damaging whip loop that builds meter I guess. But she gets to 3k+ pretty easily by just doing 2abc3b jbc jbc AT looks like. She loses normal gunshots for a ricocheting shot that bounces in different patterns. Looks good for zoning and it reaches fullscreen. Some of her normals have changed. She seems to also have another overhead that doubles as a way to get back in after pressure. But it seems real easy to shield and punish, doesn't look punishable on block. If you can keep your block strings from becoming predictable her pressure seems possibly even better than Crescent moon. Command moves I noticed were Gunshots, DP whip, whips, Slide air and cutting sync.
Full Moon: OH HAY THERE'S MY DAMAGE. FSion like most full moon characters, lose rebeats and therefore loses pressure options. Seems like she has a completely new normal set, and I haven't seen a 6b type move yet. Her gunshots were changed into a full screen forward shot, with single, 7 shot (maybe mashable?) and EX variants. She still has whips but B whip has been changed into a launcher for her so you can only air combo or ex whip afterward. I only saw once but she seems to have gained a command grabequse move. Like her old J214 moves but instead can be used from the ground. She leaps forward then flips them for damage. Most of the Full moon Sions were terrible and spent most of the match in combos or block stun so I cant comment TOO much. The only one that won was one that spent most of the match fullscreen shooting a terrible aoko.
Airthow is now techable but it looks like its possible to punish forward tech just by falling and doing a j.attack before you land. back techs by airdashing (in the corner anyways).
Voice Actor is changed but fits rather well imo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASfwFTWNpeE pretty much all Sion, gives you a great impression of half moon, with a segment of full moon.
