[CSE] PSN Match Finder/GG Thread

[Star-Demon]

Wow, It's nice being able to connect to people now. Speeds are also looking good.

GGs to those I played. I Made lots of mistakes but I haven't touched anything in a week and I am Dead tired from moving.

[Lord Knight]

YO lk you up for some games?

im going on now if you want to play

i usually just join random rooms

[Moy_X7]

The point of Plat vs. Rags is to play as lame and annoying as possible until you convince the Ragna to try stupid shit. Otherwise, stay the hell out of 5B and ID range.

I was actually talking about Jin lol.

His j.C pretty much just raped whatever I tried to do with Plat.

It sure is, but why are you just mashing litchis distortion from full screen away?

[Star-Demon]

You know, I get killed doing a lot of j66C...If only I could run up do things and not get hit...

Cover your entry with the staff if the matchup lets you

Cover your entry with the staff if the matchup lets you

I try to do this but I think people know which way the staff gets set now...Makes it hard to cover myself this way, Maybe I just telegraph it too much or just don't have the spacing . I dunno.

[Rhiya]

You can probably come up with a response to however they're dealing with it, though

Make them work to keep you out

Well, I don't think when I do it so I'm always eating 6A AA of some kind or I land short.

[Yggjrasil]

Damn, does anyone read the matchup forums at all? I feel as though they're just a waste of space.

They don't reply but they do.

GGs Ethereal, Gli, Koopa, Hinisori, and those random Plats that make my sodium levels rise to the roof. I've got the combos and the mix-up but those other Plat's got the random factor going for them. "Derp, he pushed a button, Heart Car!"

I'll play some more when I get back, gotta do some shit real quick.

Also, lulz Etheral, I'm not even fucking with Ragna anymore. I'm just gonna lame him the hell out, stay out of ID's range, use auto-ID bait pressure, and IB > DP everything until I get you scared. Seems to have worked pretty well lol.

Thruthfully, i won every Plat match. i was like "YO WE IN THERE I GOT HIM DOWNLOADED." you picked Jin, i was like "ohh, he srs nao." you play jin really odd, you make me get impatient with those fucking knives and then i get caught by 2D, also i laughed way too hard at rachels 5B cancelling your knives. sucks i couldn't get a runback because of my freind using the internet

EDIT: also GGs to anyone else i played, i had a overflow of rachels today. feels good to know i still can deal with the match-up properly after someone dropped her for years on end.

Also, LK i had a room up for like an hour never showed up. i was gonna invite you but yo PSN look like a bunch a shambles to me.

That's my new fighting style, I'm just gonna zone people the hell out unless I'm playing one of the heavy zoners (Lambda, Rachel, Hazama, etc) at which point I need to work my way in slowly.

GGs Psykotik, I've never lamed somebody out so hard in my life lol. Most of those wins were times outs and me running away XD

Really though, I'm not about to go in and risk eating a reversal or getting random'd out. Nope, I'm gonna play as careful as possible from now on and just fish for CHs and react to approaches accordingly.

[floatwater]

I'm back home to a broken ps3. i was at a friends, if your on tomorrow we can try for then if you want

@Moy: well i'll be sure to develop the proper strategy to pressure you to death and make you scared or freak out. Also i never my blockstrings weren't true till today, i need to work on that

dice roll is unavoidable

[Moy_X7]

dice roll is unavoidable

Well yeah, I can only zone so much until somebody gets in or I push somebody to the corner with slow TK Ice Sword C approaches. Until then, TK Ice Swords, j.Cs, 66 5B(1)s, and 5C awl dei. Of course that only works on a handful of characters. Litchi and Mu would laugh at me trying to do that as they can nullify the swords with staff and lasers and get in at their own leisure. The heavy zoners would be like "oh, we playing that game, huh?". Platinum will just random Heart Car me trying to zone for 4K+.

Pretty much the only characters that this approach truly works on is Ragna, Tager, Carl, Relius and Valk to an extent. I could try it against Makoto, Noel, Hakumen, and Tsubaki but they have their own ways to shut that down and Tsubaki can use the chance to charge stocks. I can also try it against Plat but she's pretty damn random herself and she can confirm crap into 4K+ easily, that and she can use that chance to cycle trough weapons until she find one that helps her neutral.

[Lord Knight]

i was talking about reversals, lol

[Dont_Explain]

Moy bout to go SFxT up in here. What did you get hit by that made you wanna play lame now? Or you just think it's easier/would fit you more?

[floatwater]

i was talking about reversals, lol

there is like only two option to a reversal though. if it works, it works you have 50 to a character that can combo afterwards than do so, if it's block and you have 50 heat. RC for what another dice roll?

i disregard the DP gets block, eat 5K (assuming they know how to fatal and don't drop).

[Moy_X7]

Oh... here I am giving my pretty speech about being lame and you were talking about reversals lol.

Meh, if I can stay out of their range and use auto-bait strings then I'm good to go. If I score a knockdown mid-screen, instead of trying to go for oki I just look for the reversal or react to the forward role if they decide to use it. If they neutral tech and I don't see a reversal then I just continue to zone, slowly pushing them into the corner. Thank God 2B low profiles under Makoto's DP when spaced properly lol.

@D_E - I was playing Plat earlier and was losing to some random ass shit. I got pretty damn salty, got into Ethereal's room and lost 3 times in a row with Plat. Pretty decisive losses most of the time. Now let's face it, Plat is not going to zone Ragna anytime soon. I'd need superior footsie skills in able to do that (which I don't have). So I said, "what if, instead of trying to get myself into risky situations, I just use my zoning tools to the best of my ability?" It worked lol

GGs Psykotik, I've never lamed somebody out so hard in my life lol. Most of those wins were times outs and me running away XD

.

GGs Moy. Nothing wrong with being lame, especially considering that Carl can potentially end the round with one touch... if you can do the combos. I can't remember the last time that I did his UB setup online without dropping anything.

[Rhiya]

Moy, you can only play so safe

Sooner or later, you have to just go in or you're gonna lose

[Moy_X7]

Yeah, I do some "offensive zoning". I zone and slowly push the opponent into the corner, at which point I can react to them trying to escape the corner. I'm gonna upload the last match that I had with Psykotik so that you can actually see what I'm talking about lol.
