[FB] Kapools: Two heads are better than one

[madworlder]

Unit(s): AMX-109 Kapool & AMX-109 Kapool Corin Nander Custom

Pilot(s): Sochie Heim & Corin Nander

HP: 360 & 480

Kapools are unique because they are two different units in one character. Only one may be "active", the other is held in reserve and recovers a little more than 2 health each second. So even though their individual healths are lower than an average 2000-cost, they have the potential to have more effective health.

Move List

Sochie Kapool:

[A]: Handgun

Low-power machine gun. 120 Ammo. Brake Cancel when empty or turning around.

[CSa]: Missile Salvo

Shoots missiles and fires the handguns. Medium strength.

[AB]: Miashei Assist

Call Miashei to shoot a missile. Brake Cancel.

[AC]: Missile

Sochie and Corin each shoot two high-powered missiles. When you use this move, you slide to the right. You can BD cancel before you fire the missiles.

[bC]: Tag out

Corin comes in, and Sochie will begin to recover health after a delay. Requires about 1/5 boost.

[ABC Super]: Rocket Punch to the Groin

Rocket Punch with missiles, and stuff. Using this super will cause you to switch Kapools.

Corin Kapool:

[A]: Missiles

Medium-damage missiles. Brake Cancel when empty.

[CSa]: Rocket Punch

High-damage projectile. Forces down if used while jumping.

[AB]: Miashei Assist

Throw Miashei to disable the opponent.

[AC]: Three Times the Normal

Corin uses two Kapools as thrusters for his Custom Kapool. Uses boost, but only goes forward. Faster than boosting, but risky.

[bC]: Tag out

Sochie comes in, and Corin will begin to recover health after a delay. Requires about 1/5 boost.

[ABC Super]: Rocket Punch to the Groin

Rocket Punch with missiles, and stuff. Using this super will cause you to switch Kapools.

I've seen kapools in vids get almost 3 half bursts in a single life. That's amazing for a 2k, and another perk of the HP regen. The width on sochie kapool csA is really nice too. MG braking also seems good.

Wow, I love these. Even more than I thought I would.

How do you go about MG braking exactly with the Kapools? Or which move do you use to brake and save boost?

hey, sorry for not getting back to you on this sooner. not exactly sure how it works, but ill upload a video of it(it was uploaded to youtube before but the account got deleted, i saved it before hand tho) later. and ill test out brakes again and try to provide some info. It seems like if you're mid air and then you go to the ground and you A while you touch the ground, you brake.

[WisteriaFrame]

Very nice and thank you,

[Mightfo]

other ways to brake: turnaround A with mg, turnaround corin missile A when no ammo left, the typical ground run jump cancel->step(or melee->step while on ground?), sochie AB(not quite as quick as others it seems to me?)

and yeah, it seems if you fire MG just as you're touching the ground from being in the air, it works as a brake. so if you wanna brake without using AB or stepping and while facing the enemy, i guess just do a brief tap of C and MG slightly as you are about to touch the ground.

I have a question about what all suits that aren't really well equipped in the melee department. What's the best option, for both Kapools, to counter incoming melee? MG for Sochie seems good but what about Corin? Also, what's a good melee for both Kapools to go in with? I'm especially concerned about which melee Corin should use when you get the opening for AC? I've been getting stuffed pretty bad when using that, and not by just shots, either

sochie csA seems pretty solid for anti-melee. not sure if any of corin's tools are especially good vs melee, may just have to rely on fundamentals for him. When approaching after AC with corin, I've just used 6b which seems good enough, but ill test the reach/startup/priority of their melees some later. keep in mind that during assault burst melee reach etc is improved quite a bit, so that can influence both your success and enemy success with melee.

Gotcha, I'll test 6b out and let me know what you may find out,

That link has been like my reference for improving my gameplay, however, when I'm practicing/playing locally(casually with friends & family), I only have AI to depend on for support, lol. I'll keep working to prevent or decrease as much melee encounters as possible, though. Always room for improvement and thank you,
