[AC] May Tactical Discussion/Questions/Help

[Kyle]

The POT combo. OHK, J.S, J.HS, SVD, S, HS, SVD, S, HS SVD, 2, S, HS, HSVD this is tough to do by the last rep. =P -Delay everything after the J,S. J.HS -If you're having a tough time to finish the 2P loop. Just don't do it. You sound good with the 6HS, SVD input. Just keep at it. =) Raekwon owns me for FREE. I CAN'T beat him. Seriously. He probably thinks I suck hard at this game. =/, Every tournament I do good at, is a tourney where I don't fight Issac. =( Welcome aboard Oatmeal Cakes.

haha i just scrub out on the 3rd loop on pot by ending it with 5p hsvd XD for some reason i just can't do 2p or 5p>s>h>hsvd no matter how hard i try

Fuckin IAD S,HS grants u a combo of backdash on Pot

[Kyle]

0.o WTF.. you air dash at POT? if you run in range a 5K/S/FBH Dolphin will all do the same... tough timing though.

[Most Unknown]

U right Kyle. Dat is alot safer.

[Kyle]

I tend to nab back-dashes from Bridget & Robot more often. But, you are correct. IAD, J.S, J.HS, SVD is an amazing tension-less option. Always gets some anger out of my opponent.

[JamsLegs]

Not Gonna Lie KyLe.. its the first time looking at your combo video on Youtube... But that sHit was Sick(Period) RofL

[Most Unknown]

I finally got the timing down on the 6HS, now all I have to do is link it in a combo and I'll be str8. The point of impact has the same 6 Frame window as if you didn't hit at all. What I mean is that if May hits somebody and the anchor doesn't touch the ground at all. That window to cancel into to dolph is still there...Correct.

Free- I met your "Rival": he's improved a bit. Plus, I sat down with him about 20 matches. It should be one hell of a rematch. Hope all is well, Kyle SJ, J.RR. FRC, J.K, J.D = funny fuzzy =P

was this directed towards me? if so who is my "Rival"?

[Kyle]

IKRENEGADE from Arizona. =P Those guys still give him loads of shit for your west toast matches. THX JamsLegs

[Dogysamich]

hey, more overhead opps. Sounds fun. When are you supposed to jump after j.rr FRC and how are you supposed to jump? Like, I can do it to some degree, but I dont know what the fuck I'm looking for. Am I supposed to wait for the animation to end? Am I supposed to do it DURING the FRC? Am I supposed to super jump? Can I just jump? (Because I swear when I just try to jump May refuses to listen)

[Kyle]

The key is to SJ. HIGH. There is no additional jump. Just Gatlin into J.D from J.K. Fuzzy- Vi~ola!

[Dogysamich]

so it does have to be a SJ. Gotchya boss. (THANK YOU!)

[Kyle]

I found Matt. =P

ROFL oh the slayer player i beat at WT....yeah those matches were so scrubby and scrubjuice's comments weren't to nice to him or me. i would love to play him again....where did u guys meet and play?

Slayer usually isn't a problem for me, so that match is fun to play....that West Toast was the last time i played AC also

[JamsLegs]

Been Trying this on Normal Weights... Wondering what I'm Doing wrong after i OHK.. My start-up I try to 6H -> Dolphin.. I don't Understand Anything Lol. Walk Me Through It lol. When I should Buffer and Everything.

[Most Unknown]

Input: 6HS~[3] ..., ..., 8S

Pointer1-

the input for 6HS~[3] is FAST. So fast in-fact, that while I was still learning the input, I often input 3HS. this causing May to whiff 2HS like a loli-tard.

Pointer2-

The actual hit-stop is what gives May the charge time for it to come out.

Pointer3-

6HS special cancels LATE as hell. I seriously do 8S on the frame that the anchor hits the ground! This means the attack has literally passed through the opponent entirely. Most likely a small window exist where this moves special cancel after the active frames as well. So...the very first few frames of recovery actually special cancel.

Oh snap, I just realized I can hyperlink sprites... BRB

As soon as you see May do anything that resembles this do 8S IMMEDIATELY.

Here u go.

I'm back guys. =) Just spent a week in Oregon/Cali. Nobody's hurt? Free has hawt av.

Nobody's hurt?

Free has hawt av.

were u visiting family or play anyone in cali in guilty gear? oh and where did u and the IKRenegade guy play guilty gear at?

[Brent-quest]

I was visiting family in Brookings, OR. Spent some time in Crescent City CA. That's the farthest north west you can go. Closest GG is 6 hrs to Portland. when I'm farther south in CA, I'll definitely let you know. 3 weeks back, I spent 6 days in Phoenix AZ. I got to play with Nick (IKRENEGADE) and his entire crew. =) Matt- have you worked out Austin yet? It would be a shame to not see that May around...

oh.... Happy birthday?

[Oatmeal Cakes]

ok ok. i'm a total noob and i'm really trying to get better but i'm just starting and there is so much to catch up on not to add this is my first fighter....ever.... i mean i've played before but never at this level (aka i'm really trying to get good) so i'm trying to learn combos, links, gatlings (spelling?), mix ups... the whole nine and a lot of times it seems to be a little overwhelming to do at one time....i'm going back over the general stuff (what's found in the guides) so that i have a solid base and i'm trying to build on that. any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. (btw there is nothing too simple to start with i really want a solid base so when i get to the advanced stuff i won't have to worry about going back to the basics because i'll already know them:keke:) i finally have the lame loop down to where i can do it 8/10 in practice and pretty regularly ( i say about 6/10 under pressure (aka during a match whenever i can get a ch crouching hs or ohk). it might seem like nothing to a lot of ya'll but it's a real motivator to me...if i can get that i can do anything w/ enough time and practice.

[Kyle]

Oatmeal, try to focus of these 4 things. It will take you FAR with May in GG.

Guarding- Be aware of your opponents mix-ups, and how to block/evade them. Often you can put yourself in a position -better for you than your opponent-. This is CRUCIAL!

Counter Poking- Knowing & applying which moves net you CH against your opponents pokes & approach.

Combo's- From your CH's especially. Get good damage (at least a 33% =P) and a KNOCKDOWN!

Okizeme- From their wake-up get them with an Overhead/ Low/ Throw/ Tick Throw/ Frame-Trap/ or Bait their reversals to punish.

If you managed to do all 4 in one match. You've just won. lol

It sounds like you've really been keeping up with it. good job. =)

[Oatmeal Cakes]

Thanks kyle i've been trying really hard and i am seeing improvement... my guarding is actually pretty good according to raekwon and solidplay.... and my combos are coming along... i ohk into the first loop (js jhs svd) on isaac i felt really good about that and i've been doing lame loop off of svd, ch crouching hs, and ohk all night.... i think i really need to continue improving on those and start to focus on my okizime (spelling?) and poking. on knockdown i do pretty much the same thing j 2hs or 5k into some link or gaitling and knockdown or ohk if i get the timing right....(yea i suck)....so i'll just have to watch more match vids specifically for that and get a better idea of what to do... (your guide is helpful but i'm a visual learner)
