[CS2] Day 1 Platinum Thoughts

[Hurricane Rev]

BTW I still haven't gotten anything resembling a combo after j.hammer. Is there a video that has that combo in it, because I can't get anything to combo after it atm.

EDIT: I think you can do 5C > 236B after the j.hammer.

EDIT 2: The full hammer combo which is in the combo thread:

5B > 5C > 236B > 5C > 2C > 214C > j.C > dj.C > j.D > 5C > 632146C

After more testing, only on CH is 6B combo-able.

People were doing 6A into 6C for combos too. It was kind of interesting.

Sometimes, it's kind of hard to combo the 236A(whatever) on certain characters. For example, I've found it easier to do 236ACCA on Carl, while I generally just do 236ABBB against the other characters. It's also cool to mix up which ones you do midscreen cause I believe one of them puts you on one side, and one puts you on the other side.

I did a really cool situational combo today. I had a bubble out, and it was behind the opponent and in the air. I did something to knock them into it (might have been bat). I then hit D and got a frying pan, ran up and did j.D into 5C 236B into corner combo for the round. It was awesome, haha.

The more I'm playing her, the more I understand what to do, but yeah, still not quite there yet. My PSR is only 145 or so, so I'm not quite at the level where i can go against top players (generally at 200+)

Also, I was playing a friend, and I got super cat missles. I did it, and he air blocked it. Instant guarded the first hit, and then got hit by the rest. He said he thought he was blocking, but wasn't sure if he needs to barrier or not. That was actually really interesting because a lot of times when I throw bombs or cat missles, it looks like the opponent SHOULD just block, but they end up getting hit instead. It's kind of weird, but yeah, possible air unblockable with bombs and missles...

I could have sworn that I've seen people block missiles and super missiles in the air without barrier. I'm pretty certain that bombs are definitely air blockable.

[HeartNana]

I know they're air blockable in general, but maybe sometimes they have random unblockable properties? IMO, people get hit by them more often than they should lol...

[LeFartknocker]

I think that's just match-up inexperience... kinda like when people haven't played Mu enough they get caught by 236D far more often, etc.

[HeartNana]

Yeah they're prolly trying to jump out or something, but end up getting tagged by bombs. I unno, lol, but I'm glad when it DOES hit.

[a Lisianthus]

is bat punishable on block/ib

[HeartNana]

Yeah I think it is.

[Yggjrasil]

I'm sure it is. I saw Shadow RC it on block against Kaqn in one of the matches .

[Kantan]

I know for a fact that the regular missiles are air blockable. I like to use that to my advantage for crossunder situations. Generally speaking, people REALLY seem to like to jump in the air and block when I throw all three missiles out at once. Thanks to the delay between each missile actually shooting off at them, I generally have time to run at and under them while they're waiting for the 3rd missile. sometimes second, if I shot them off when they were close enough.

I know regular bombs are air blockable too, I've seen them blocked a lot

What should be tested is how air blockable the super versions are. If anything's air unblockable, it's those.

[HeartNana]

It's not that they're air unblockable, it's that it might have some weird thing where it still hits you for a while, so even if you think you blocked it, you get hit after because the move is still going on, is kinda more what I'm talking about than literal air unblockableness.

does barrier blocking ruin platinum like tsubaki?

[Saltynapalm]

Her silly shoes, her smooth legs and little skirt, her flat chest and fluffy hair. Hngggggg! Too bad gameplay looks boring with her, definitely a sub though. Might mod my stick with some art of her.
