[AC] May Tactical Discussion/Questions/Help

[pulsr]

try to press 3 or 4 later down the string. If you press it right away you cut your momentum short and that means if they FD you will be further away, but then again that can work for you as well.

wow thx for combo just a little funny thing i encounter while playing ac 6p fully charged> one hit and got baiken stunned rofl

[Most Unknown]

Dats what I'm talkin bout...Some FB Hori Dolph combos... (even if it is only one) Also...I do believe FB "Catch Me" (Jackhound) can also be used as a follow up from OHK...

[PhaethonH]

Jackhound loop:

Jackhound, S V.Dolphin. x 3. x4 if you got a Counter in there somewhere.

Lead-ins:

• OHK, Jackhound ...
• smack, smack, 2D, Jackhound ...
• smack, [1]D, H.Dolphin FB, (dash) 5S, 5H [2], 8S V.Dolphin, Jackhound ...
• Dust, j.H, dj, j.H, S.Dolphin, Jackhound ...

Extra style points if you can do OHK -> early Jackhound so that May goes towards the bounce wall and the opponent falls away from it ("underneath crossup"), then hitting with JH again back towards the victim (i.e. you should end up doing the joystick motion in opposite directions).

I figured I'd juss add this in here, so we don't have to go to The Foundation to view it

May Accent Core Frame Data

pulsr edit: Im going to move add this to the AC frame data thing

[K2]

any May going to evo east?

[shinquickman]

Narrow chance that I'm going.

[blueNINE]

I am considering it, but it's also a narrow chance that I'll end up attending this one.

[Purrin]

Well AC is out and such...and EVERY character thread has a new post except poor ol May. And sadly, I have no idea what to say that hasn't already been covered. May is now easy mode and pretty much plays the same as before. Just replace old combos with the loop and dolphin frc with force break and she's good to go. Someone must have a question...or found something new perhaps? Or did everyone switch to a better character?

[Tritone]

Better character? May is so fun now. Her force break dolphins are so fun to use. And I love the new dolphin FRC points, it makes it much easier to do FRC, air dash j.H and not whiff j.H (before I probably could have delayed the air dash but this way I don't even have to think). Her dust combos are cooler now and well, her voice is even cuter. Hooray for AC May.

A dedicated AC May combo thread would be nice =\

[Darkhonor90]

40-50% tensionless loop with May? Thats rediculous! She is so much better then her slash counterpart D:

[Master Chibi]

Yeah so I dumped Ky for May, and now I'm trying to practice Trit's combos from a page or two back. Everytime I OHK and get ready to do S vertical May jumps straight up. I guess I have to get used to the timing. Also, for the life of me I can't do her force breaks, how exactly are they done?

[Purrin]

[4] 6HS 6D

As in just tap forward again with dust. Think of it like dashing forward but HS first tap and D second tap. Samething for Vert dolphins except you're tapping up.

One thing I never noticed on arcade is the dust feint isn't special cancelable, only jump cancelable. You're actually canceling the jump cancel with a vertDolphin..so it just appears like the special cancels the feint. Just an odd thing to keep in mind I guess.

[Master Chibi]

I've seen uses for horizontal FB's but vertical ones, not so much.

[vegta12]

wtf i got to get use to the new FRC point in dolphin

[Most Unknown]

It shouldn't be that much of a difference, if you have good execution wit May, then No Worries... Vert FB Dolph allows u to jump afterwards and u still have enough time to land a combo IIRC (depends on what ur start up was to begin wit)

[pulsr]

may can stop her dash completely if you use slash back as an fdc, kinda nifty ;0 you float really slow though.. however you can make your dash really short or really long depending on how you feel. also itll turn you around... cross up time ;0

[Most Unknown]

Dash while doing what...

[Tritone]

I must say I'm surprised at how easy 3K FRC is!

[pulsr]

air dash 2hs~+s

[furix]

Okay guys, so here's the deal.. I went with the whole random select deal for a secondary character, and I got May. Now.. I've used all the characters before since XX, however that doesn't mean I am an expert with them all, I know their moves and shit, some of their strategy.. But, AC is a bit different as you all know. So now here I am with May as a secondary character(I didn't mind it after all, since I like her kick color). So help a new may player here, I am having a hard time doing her 5S > 5HS > Slash vertical dolphin combo. The V.Dolphin is supposed to pull you in right? Shit, I am so not used to May at all, but hey! That is half of the fun of picking a totally new secondary! Sorry for this silly post(if it is silly). I just want a quick head start on how May should be used in AC(So I start off on the right foot). And what better place to ask than you guys? :D

[pulsr]

you just do s hs, charge during the HS animation and press up s dolphin ;0 its really easy. you should input it like this though s~hs(hs animation hasnt come out) hold down (hs animation is kinda done) 9s. its very easy in AC

[Master Chibi]

I didn't know where to put this but while playing yesterday I found that 5.K beats out Gunflame clean, and alot of other stuff too.

;p

Yeah, I pretty much got that down now. I can do two loops, then I've seen people do a third one off 5P>S vertical Dolphin, I think I saw that.. But, I can't do that one. D:

Wow, so far May is great fun, I am sure I am going to keep her~
