Koopa_Klawz Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Definitely. I like to play for a good chunk of time when I play. I was surprised to see the 4, though we had some odd bits of lag here and there. Yea I guess I should have you know. I'm at Chapel Hill, NC visiting my step-sis for the weekend. :V
Star-Demon Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Yup, Litchi's j.2D > CDT CDT? I am sometimes unsure about that starter. If you get hit in air because you upbacked I don't think I get much. I dropped confirms on purpose because I wasn't even sure what was going to happen if I bothered following up- Giving you an airtech when platinum moves so fast and litchi recovers so slow just shows me that you really need to create situations that give you the correct starters otherwise you have to make weird conversions like I did on you sometimes or just play it safe and let the opponent get the easy tech and start over with a hopefully better position or be able to do setplay. You backdash and position yourself too much to AA my attempts for that crossup - I really don't like trying it on you, even if you are blocking. What upsets me is the really awkward counter hits at max distance. I'm not even sure if you can confirm without losing a lot of damage or whiffing completely. It's like you just have to let a lot of hits go.

Moy_X7 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 CDT? Cure Dot Typhoon, you did IAD j.2D just as I did wake-up CDT and your j.2D beat it. Figures, seeing how CDT doesn't have much vertical reach on the first swing. I am sometimes unsure about that starter. If you get hit in air because you upbacked I don't think I get much. I dropped confirms on purpose because I wasn't even sure what was going to happen if I bothered following up- Giving you an airtech when platinum moves so fast and litchi recovers so slow just shows me that you really need to create situations that give you the correct starters otherwise you have to make weird conversions like I did on you sometimes or just play it safe and let the opponent get the easy tech and start over with a hopefully better position or be able to do setplay. You know what that means... LAB TIME. Figure out what all of your option are, even on awkward successful hits. You backdash and position yourself too much to AA my attempts for that crossup - I really don't like trying it on you, even if you are blocking. I don't know, it worked pretty well whenever you tried to switch sides on me from the corner. It's a really nice tool that's a ridiculous +19 on block, you should use it as deliberately as you have now. What upsets me is the really awkward counter hits at max distance. I'm not even sure if you can confirm without losing a lot of damage or whiffing completely. It's like you just have to let a lot of hits go. Well find out if you can or not lol
mAc Chaos Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I don't recall kicking you from my room; however, I do recall the last time we played and I remember how you play. I'm not assuming you're stagnant, I'm merely making an observation based off the last time we played. The fact that you're opting to block more is a sign that you're trying to improve so you shouldn't be frustrated. Okay. What do you mean by mashing. Trying to poke out of pressure or just face rolling and praying for the best. People always use it wrong to mean the former.
Sadeyo Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 GGs to BlackNichijou and your lambda. I'll play a little bit tonight if anyone wants to get a few rounds in . I'll be back in my own barracks tomorrow afternoon so personal good connection again for those I had to avoid for the two weeks.

dioxideUniversa Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 is accusations of mashing the greatest insult we have in this community
TheBossGiga Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I'm free as dirt right now. Anyone mind whippin me into shape?
mAc Chaos Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 How long is your recovery estimated to be? A few months, but I should be able to play soon. I just have to move into my new apartment next week and get set up.
TD Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 is accusations of mashing the greatest insult we have in this community most people dont admit to it, everyone does it. if history has taught me anything, it would be that those in denial don't like to be reminded, lest there be backlash. there's also the 'those who mash are free' stigma which is definitely not the truth for everyone. tl;dr yes.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I mash w[5C] to deplete meter. Anyway, opening a room. Hopefully my shitty connection can stand to work today. Anyone want in.
TD Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 hopefully we'll be able to change the philosophy behind 'mashing' or at least call good button pressing something else.
Rhiya Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Much like everything else, mashing is legit as fuck as long you don't get blown up for it. Mashing intelligently is an amazing way to get out of pressure in pretty much every game.
Moy_X7 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Most of the people who call people out on mashing are the ones who get mashed out of their shoddy block strings lol Mashing is a defensive option, if you're opponent is being predictable with certain strings, then you might as well push a button and punish them for it. Although I don't really mash, I just push 5A/whatever once and confirm into the optimal combo. There are also those moves that are low invulnerable starting on frame 3 which are nice to throw out here and there when you're on the defensive. It's all about that yomi and knowing your opponent's options. We should just call it "Abare", mashing like an idiot at every chance you get and knowing when to push a button even when pressured or at slight disadvantage are two entirely different things. The Japanese do it when they have to, it's a high risk/moderate reward decision, just as other defensive options such as up+back, reversals, and back dashes.
