CopperDabbit Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 ^^ Copper. I am disappointed. Why did you not win?! D:<! It's only a super duper one sided matchup that's annoying as hell to fight against! Just hit him with your controller, or put sleeping pills in his water! D: It was on an arcade machine and he only ever drinks out of his hip flask.

PhantomX Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Nu is so annoying :\ Nice to see him wrecking with that 2B, they're so good with it. How did he do that j2A > 5B > air combo? o_O Does that just have weird timing? I can't seem to get it to work.
tolore Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 j2A > 5B > air combo is explained in the locked stiky and asked numerous times throughout the various other stickies. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6199 http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5935&page=14
PhantomX Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Gah, as if I didn't already have enough things to practice. Guess I'll try to learn this too. Would be a great mixup instead of always having to tele behind or away.

shadowarchangel Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-rIw7jzGxY Didn't know where to post this lol That's me actually playing and I'm looking for some critique. Trying hard to get better with the bee master. there's some other matches in my youtube page as well. WARNING: we talk a lot of spanish mixed with english in there sooo yeah.

tolore Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 @shadow archangel Be more consistent with your defense, you get tagged by a lot of really random crap from tager in the first match, that's the biggest advice to give almost anyone looking to improve. Also a lot of the successful tactics you are using are actually not very good, but are still working because your opponent is also inexperienced. For example j.d, either you're messing up the cloud motion too much, or using j.d way too much, j.d is awful without bug support. Random spider laser super worked out, but doing it out in the open like that is incredibly dangerous(unless you are reacting to something, which you weren't). The aerial super is basically worthless, you got lucky your opponent got hit by it the first time, and the second time he was doing something you could have punished anyways with more damage and less meter. Obviously you've got some combo's to learn, you drop a lot of combos, and get a lot of hits that should lead to combos then you don't follow it up. Also the basketball loop(6a->a bug->6a->a bug etc...) is out dated, you can always get a 6C loop off of anything that gives you basketball loop(epeically since 6a->a bug itself leads to the 6C loop). You also need to back up your clouds better, especially against tager. Sledge is very punishable against arakune if you properly back your clouds up. Instead of trying to keep away after throwing out the homing cloud you should rush in after it, if he tries to sledge you can air dash back cancel into j.b(the downward angled one) and get a combo, if he tries to do his super armor charge up move you can j.d him and you should remain far enough away that his anti air grab can't get you. Also if you have the cloud that floats above their head he cannot anti air grab you, he'll be hit by the cloud before the active frames of the move comes out.
Matt Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 kousaka, you will be surprised that HaruShinobi has given us not one but two awesome combo vids in one day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97eHOKCgu60
InspectorOda Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 In the second combo movie, at 3:05. Dive Cancel into teleport throw? How the heck did that happen?
ryofoong Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 LOOK GUYS! Ryo's super scrubby Arakune, TO THE RESCUE!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9ypekZ5z2Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFR-c2hTIhk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4JUg2xxFec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QApY0pfNlzY These are all from the same guy. He recorded my matches without me knowing when I fought him. So it's basically all me vs him. xD
PhantomX Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 That Haru guy is pretty crazy... I learned some neat things from this, the problem is gonna be remembering to do it all in game D: Also, I totally favorited the second video... I thought I was the only person that taunted while killing people with bugs. New favorite Ara. @tolore - don't knock the guy for using the air super if he's in position, it will finish the round, and he has the meter to spare. If he'd done it early in the round or as an opener or something I'd agree with you, but I think he used it fine, in this case. @Ryo - that Bang is pretty bad. You got all the BnBs down pretty well, and have solid shield pressure too.
Abstract Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9ypekZ5z2Y Airthrows in your combos? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You really need to optimize your combos. You could be getting so much more damage than you currently are.
Matt Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 @Ryu: recurse instead of midcombo throw @Phantom: Haru doesn't play in any of the videos he just downloads them onto his youtube page. He probably downloads them off of nicovideo
PhantomX Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 K, well now I gotta find out who that is so I can idolize him.
tolore Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 @tolore - don't knock the guy for using the air super if he's in position, it will finish the round, and he has the meter to spare. If he'd done it early in the round or as an opener or something I'd agree with you, but I think he used it fine, in this case. If it'll win the round and if it's GUARANTEED I guess it's alright, but it's a bad habit to get into to use it, as it's only guaranteed when you could do other, better stuff, or it's UTTERLY trash. Unless people you are playing against don't know how to hold up during super flash.
tolore Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 here's some of my vids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DcAQFx4AdM My combo level is embarrassing in this one, I had no idea how to pick up combo's off of countrhit dives(and i definitely didn't know how to dive cancel yet). I also do some really stupid stuff like wtf random air spider legs, and random 2a->2c on block, I also don't break a purple throw at one point . here's two more against a hakumen player, I usually lose against him . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJwL-tn9J6A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdEH84cH-q0 I lost and ended up in 5th place, not too terrible. edit: my combo execution is pretty embarassing in that second one too, I'm a lot more solid with my combo's now. edit again: actually watching the rest of the video i think i was comboing bad evern for what i normally did back then. I'm gonna blame the 2 hours of sleep and 1 hour car drive it took to get there. My poor v-13 combo's make sense since she's awkward to combo and i hadn't really practiced combo's at that point, but i play h akumen basically constantly i shouldn't have been dropping NEAR that many. Any advice other than 'stop dropping combo's' would be greatly appreciated though!
Abstract Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Your pressure is better now too, right? Because it seemed seriously lacking in that vid. Pre-curse especially.
tolore Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 I have a hard time gauging my own pressure without watching video's, and these are the only videos I have, so I'll have to say I don't know on that one. I also haven't gotten to play since I learned how to dive cancel into 5.b(I can do that consistently in training mode now). edit: I'm really gonna have to say probably yes to the prssure thing though, just because I'm in general better at everything than I was then.
Abstract Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 dive cancel into 5.b Haha. That really opens up a ton of options pressure wise. It also makes getting curse a lot easier.
tolore Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 yeah I can't wait to start trying that out in real matches, I imagine it'll take me a little bit to get it down outside of training mode, but it's such a powerful tool. It's also great that 5b does more guard damage than most other moves.
Abstract Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 5b does more guard damage than most other move And is +2 frames on block!
PhantomX Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 I'm still working on that. In high paced frenzies I still have my 5bs turn into j2Bs or 2Bs. Pad likes to eat my inputs sometimes too :\ P.S. That Haku-men counters like a monster XD
