So how do you start a match?

[Silmerion]

The funniest one of all time, of course.

...I should probably know this, shouldn't I?:8/:

In any case, detail this to me.

[Neophos]

also, pilebunker.

Only true answer.

P Dandy to Pilebunker is the MANLY WAY of opening a match.

[4r5]

I start every match with thought.

I lied. I always do tkEnsenga.

[HolyOrderChipp]

I like to open with...

THE FUNNIEST MINDGAME OF ALL TIME.

Rashousen vs. Gold Burst?

Rashousen vs. S Raeisageki?

Taunt vs. IK mode?

[Hatred Edge]

Sol: Gold Burst>Super DRAGOON INSTOOL.

[Alzarath]

It depends on who/what I'm up against, but generally: 6K, 5D, HS Exe Beast, or simply Backdash/IAD back. Occasionally Warrant or 2HS.

[FlyMike]

Mostly 4S, but sometimes TK Ensenga, DB/KJ Transport, 3HS, or the infamous 6K.

[tj3ssa1]

backdash

[Anji man]

All the time I start in defense :keke:

[tsukihimeblood]

[Arvoyea]

So...what's your secret?

There really isn't one. It just depends who I am, and who I'm up against. Which is why I said I try my best not to get owned so I can't make a comeback.

[ky0n01]

As far as i know the most stupid thing to do at the start of the match is to charge in >_>. The safest would be to back dash or stay neutral. Amd trading pokes at the start of the match is just like playing rock paper scissors.

[furix]

danzai no totally kidding that's impossible

[Greyvangelist]

That really depends on who I'm playing and how much we've been playing. If I know them really well and they know me really well, I try to accommodate that and either mix it up or try to counter what I think they will do at the start. If I haven't done it in a while I do 63214S with Axl at the start of the round. But the next round they might expect it and jump up at the start of the round to air throw me, but I instead wait for them to jump and nail them with 6K into an air combo.

Watch no one read this.

Again.

[Hecatom]

that depends of three factors: my mood, who im playing, against who im playing. the only constant, i never start the same

[EasyModeNub]

I slap my opponents hand.

Yeah, I guess I also start by turning the game on too... But it's only because I don't have a slave to do it for me !

[Beowulf]

What ? Players should just concentrate on the match ! And nothing else ! ^^

[RTSD]

I'm against slavery. I have servants.

[Beowulf]

Well, you lose money for that... Anyway back to topic : Most Sol players use f.S or 5+HS to start their match, so I just 214+P with Axl ! On the contrary most Testaments and Axl use their catch attack at the beginning, so I just dash and throw... These two just don't attack that often, so even if they don't catch, they would mostly backdash or jump, so my dash isn't really threaten. All this is only valid on first round though ! As the next one they will be careful... To start a match safely, use instant air backdash... But then it can be punished by Jam's puffball or any anti-air attack, as you won't have any tension to FD...
