good luck and i like your sig, did you make?

[pulsr]

I might be going to FRXI, but I won't be playing May.

[Kyle]

Oh Snap- Pulsr Who else do you play? - I am having a hard time finding good matches of May VS Sol where May plays the Match-up well. Are there any vids of Pulsr VS SpiritJuice anywhere? I like your Avatar Hsien_Jo, The Sprite started as a FanArt by Retrock.

Testament and Chipp

[Kyle]

Sol Guide Officially completed, still waiting on Sol players input. Testy coming later today. =) b/c I'm going to be playing a Bad-ass Testy on Thursday night. Jorge- How do you feel about writing a vs Ky guide? I mean, you play with DarkHonor often and do know the match-up better than I. Please Please Please

I could help with this too, as I fight purify quite often.

[Kyle]

The first post in the match-up guide is a Skeleton, let's do this.

All that was useful for Ky from the old thread is this:

"Punish fireball spam with IAD s hs" Pulsr

Put in what you know, and I will edit/revise it once your done =).

Pulsr is a tier whore...that includes his Chipp!

I haven't contributed anything in a long time, so here is a May vs Sol you can use if you deem it worthy enough, it's at the 1 minute mark. I personally would never suggest jumping down on a Sol like this May does...but the Sol was allowing it in the first round...that changed abit in the 2nd round though.

I am a douche bag because I don't share my MASS EFFECT

Thanks Purrin =) I've updated and included that video. welcome to the May Forums. Testy Match-up Guide completed and awaiting feedback from Testy players and other Sky Pirates.

[Mike Z]

pulsr plays every character to the same level of effectiveness. (^.^) Mike Z pulsr is also very sexy in a wet t shirt ;0

Good Morning Soldiers,

I've finished Sol, Bridget and Testament lately, I've been very pleased with me progress. A few things to note:

- Today I will finish Slayer and Jam.

- Today I will be recording combo's for a video

- Tomorrow is a BIG Guilty Gear Day, the next four days after that I will be in NewYork for the holidays. After tonight, it's going to be a little while before you guys hear from me.

Are Matt and Jorge going to do the Ky match-up Guide?

Everyone, Final Grades are being posted about this time, enjoy your holiday breaks and take care.

Merry Christmas,

Kyle

[Kyle]

Edit- Vampire Savior On-line released ggpo.net Slayer Jam gonna wait a little while longer lol.

[Purrin]

Vampire Savior

I'm glad you have your priorities straight.

Felicia is the truth

What this guy said.

Essentially, the Ky fight is all patience. Just wait it out, generally the first guy to try to force some offense is the one that eats big damage and loses. Don't let this be you. (No, that's not all I've got. It's just...Lord Raptor beckons.)

[Ryock]

I'm having some trouble pulling off May's slightly more advanced moves, like... OHK, S, HS, SVD, S, HS, HSVD, FRC, j.HS, SVD, etc etc Now... the point where I screw up is j.HS. I can't seem to dash through the air fast enough no matter how many times I try after FRCing the HSVD, I can't seem to dash through the air afterwards. I don't know if I'm just not doing it fast enough, or if I'm not doing something right? Help? o.o;

The dash after the HVD is one of my favorite tactics, so I should knowits a bit of a pain at times. Did you remember to jump install? That means to press up some time during your combo to allow you to air dash after a move that leaves you airborn if you frc or rc it. So what you wanna do is:

OHK, S, HS, SVD, S, up, charge down, HS, HSVD, FRC, airdash HS, GO CRAZY o,,..,,O.

if you put the jump install in your combo, once you frc you can usually air dash when ever the hell you want to. You usually have some time to airdash. If you check out complex Ino play you see ppl airdash an inch off the ground (X,x) after comboing a chemical (with jump install), so with may its not so bad cause she has a nice bit of airtime.

The jump install for may is weird, you have to press up in between her HS fsat enough for it to not be registered as a jump cancel, but slow enough so that you press it hard enough so that the jump install is registered. (My old problem D: ) Its a feel you have to learn, so practice up and good luck,....but dont practice too hard *points to his sig* :8/: Leveling up in GG is on thing but not being able to play suxs balls :'<

[Kyle]

Yeah I'm back,

Lots to cover....

Purrin- Great way to handle the PO match at your tourney, Your basics and tactics show how long you've been with Guilty Gear. NICE, BTW once I get the Vampire Savior BLackScreenShitIPSTaticBLAHLBLHBLH shit running my Q-bee will be > than your Felicia. until than.

PhaethonH- Why did you spend your tension the moment you gained it, it was like GoldBurst, Jackhound, Jackhound, WHALE!!!! I have urges to do weird sweet things as soon as they pop into my head, I have to force myself to only do what I've practiced.

Pulsr- Top 4 DAMN, too bad it wasn't with May, but it's not like she was lacking in the scene or anything, lol. Good job.

Hsien_Jo- You kept this place in shape, thanks.

Ryock- Jump installing is a gattlin into a jump from a jump cancel-able move BUT you don't actually leave the ground because of the timing of the inputs. After you JumpInstall you can do this trick to buffer the Air Dash out of the FRC, it was staple for GGSlash combos and I-no combos.

HSVD, 6, 6K+S+HS

Also This combo won't always work. OHK, S, HS, SVD, S, HS, HSVD, FRC,Airdash, J.HS,Land, SVD...

I think it's doable on PO but usually the SVD misses. + even if the SVD its the follow-up is still iffy.

Frank The Tank- One i Get Vampire Savior working I am very excited to play you too.

Q-Bee FTW.

Slayer coming SOON

[Ryock]

Oh, this helps a bunch. I was not JIing . I can get the timing almost every time now. At first I wasn't able to get the install right. I think my problem was that I was just simply tapping the up, instead of actually timing it the way I would with jump cancelling.

[Kyle]

I am REALLY mad at GGPO, today I am doing all my combos and Slayer. Guilty Gear solace for the win.

[Kyle]

Slayer finished, The match-up discussion thread should be more active soon. =) Jam coming, in progress.

[Kyle]

Good Afternoon Soldiers,

I've been around but not very "active" with the May forums the past two weeks. My Apologies everyone. I have, however, finished doing all the work besides actual combo input for a a huge multicharacter Combo Video.. of course I DID do the hot May combos. So check it out and share what you think. Jam WILL be done tomorrow, videos of full 5D explanation with options, Advanced set-ups and unique need-to-know combos are on my top priority, now that the TenkaiGear Video is finished.

Took 4th in a decent sized tourney, Lost to Mac's Slayer. I crouched a 6K... woops. lol.

Ciao,

Kyle

[Kyle]

Jam finished and posted, it should get a little more active in the match-up discussion thread. I started doing these match-up guides with 11 pages of content from the threads, with my current accomplishments there are only 2 more pages left. WOW. I did however did get plenty of Johnny EXP, last weekend so I can easily do that now. @Matt&jorge/Frank&Shadow = Any progress on the Ky match-up guide?!?

[zand]

im not sure if you guys use low air dash mixups often, but I do. i find that low airdash kpk is a good 3 hit air string and low airdash s h is also good, however the airdash s h sometimes pushes me back too far to continue comboing. so instead I've been using low airdash j.S j.K which pretty much stops any pushback problems on block or hit from you airdash strings
