TD

It is understandable.not everyone has the tolerance needed to stomach net play. Lol

oh, l hadn't realized. :o

So I watched the last few matches. It's mostly the same play throughout the set, so ill just summarize what I think. Pressure was alright. When you did manage to get kiba blocking, you did some decent mix ups. Neutral needs improvement. Too many mistakes in neutral caused you to be on the defense. Space control could be better Execution was off Defense was below average. Sounds pretty harsh and I know net play is definitely a factor in this. In no way am I judging your skill level. I do think though, that if it was possible for you to play offline and record a match or 3, it'd be easier to accurately access your matches

Yes I mean the options after the 6a, should have clarified. I'm going to finish up the critique after work. Unless that's all you needed zoular.

First match First round decent round start. Looks like kiba was expecting it because he just ran up an 5b'd. One good round start to start using against tsubaki is to simply walk back a split second and assess her movements. What this does is make 22a punishable if tsu does it, while keeping your options available should you need to super jump or wind away. Kiba had you blocking that entire round pretty much. It seems that the problem points for you is tsu's 6a/6b/throw stuff. You must get good at blocking these! While that may be simple advice, tsu' mixup is already extremely simple and easy to disrespect. Once you can block both attacks consistently, it's all about figuring out when the tsu player will do them. 6a will only link from 5a, 5b, 5bb, 2a, 2b, and charge cancel. Absolutely none of these options make 6a even remotely safe. On the other hand, 6b links from all her a/b moves and her 5c© move, a little more safe to use (but still not safe to use from 95% of her moves), and is plus 1. If you're not already mashing 5a/2c when you expect these two moves, at leAst ib 6b so you can gain sdvantage. Watch for charge cancel after 6a and 5b her for a sweet combo. Not much else to say first round. You didn't play badly, but you did get outplayed. It happens. Second round tsu is one of the few charas I wouldn't recommend 6b round start on. She has no range to abuse round start positioning, and 22a is really fast. The threat of it doing instant corner carry is too great to risk trying to beat it ground to ground. You are trying too hard to summon pumpkin in the air, lol. I could tell kiba knew but couldn't figure out how best to deal with it. While pumpkin is priority in neutral, don't get so tangled up trying to get it out. Before getting anything started, you must be sure that you have enough space and time. To do that, you need to spend some wind getting away, using 236ad, etc. if the foe has no reason to respect your summoning time, good luck winning the round. Also weird is you keep doing air pumpkin into 3d, sometimes kiba isn't even there but you keep doing it? Again, you're not playing badly minus a few costly mistakes (due to netplay I assume). Kiba just knows what you're going to do. So variety seems to be an issue for you. You're inputs I notice are also a little slow, I can see you moving, lol. Again this just seems like a net play issue Second match First round Same start as last time. Ok, it worked. Great 236a launch, bad summon. At that point with the last few frames of wind, it probably would have been better to try to rush in with 3 wind and go for a 6a or start pressure. You didn't get punished though Not much you can do about tsu charging but setup. If you're trying to hit her with lobelia from fullscreen, use j236a late d, land, jump, and do an early as possible j214c. It'll get you in from full screen, with 20+ advantage, possibly a summon right on your heels. If tsu held the button too long and got hit by the pole, confirm into 5b air combo. You have a lot of proration to work with. Again, throws seem to be a problem, get in that lab. Oooooh... Got hit by 22[d] on wakeup. I don't think there was much you could do there. Good you were aware and TRIED to backdash. Delay tech works, but beware Rachel's fat hitbox could make teaching too late painful! Random air frog? Yeah... Second round Questionable round start. While not bad, it was executed a bit too slow. Also, I recommend j3dc rather than b. it'll catch standing and jumping foes for a juicy combo, no landing recover on crouchers, and safe on block. 236a9d in midrange?? Definitely do regular 6d there especially vs tsu You don't have to wakeup always pressing a button. Block sometimes can be your best (read: only) friend when using rachel. You must be fearless. Seems like you learned this after that combo. Kiba just mauled you that round, but that's ok! Third match First round Taking the initiative! I love it. Nice combo. You're on the roll in the corner, your mixups are... Not bad. Very nice fuzzy confirm Sad tsu escaped the corner definitely should have risked a 5b there, tsus dp is trash and poor damage without charge. Meanwhile, 5b reward hit or block is amazingly in you favor with George ready to Activate Jump pumpkin seems like a staple for you. Remember not to be predictable with this. Kiba wasn't punishing it really so you're good Never use td in front of tsu if she has charge. 214d has projectile beating properties, it will beat td and poles 100 percent. If your opponent has a lot of resources and you'll think they'll use all or some of them, wait until they do to burst. Make the trade off more even If you get a chance to run in reverse you shouldn't use wind, that is an absolutely perfect time to regen, you're on the ground and the foe has to chase you all the way to the other side or wherever you want to stop Nice lobelia ch confirm though it blue beated and dropped During that mid screen George oki, you were smart to back dash away. I would just say though, better to hold your ground. Tsu does not have many counters on wakeup beside dp tricks with charge, so the situation is in your favor. Unless yo absolutely know they'll dp, just do your oki or just sit there and wait for her to kill hersel for 1k. Second round Same start, same scenario. Kiba was prepared this time of course. No need to wind pumpkin down on oki with only one wind. Use it to scare the foe only, or keep it there as cover for George. Ultimately, in that situation you were probably better off going for Max damage Rage burst shortly after. Not much to explain there Another questionable 236a9d at midrange. And with a pumpkin out. Since you hadn't winded the pumpkin yet it will stay out for 6 seconds. You could have used that time into covering more space with less wind. Remember that 236a windless is really good against tsubaki, and 6 seconds of pumpkin cover could get you back into the game. Lots or random inputs... If you're going to mash anything, let it be cat chair Hold that thought

Been awhile since I reviewed a match (twitch... ) so im looking forward to this. I will watch it when I get home

it does. it affects poles too and possibly lotus attacks. it doesn't make pumpkin go farther or george slide faster, sadly. b lotus allows 236ad to go fullscreen, wind related attacks like 6c and 3c not only go farther, they are really fast. corner carry from 5cdc, or 5ccd (on air foes) is very good. l dont see much of a use for a lotus in neutral once equipped. combo wise its looking decent, and might become a decent neutral attack in with b lotus equipped. or maybe to tag an airborne haz/tao/valk with another lotus

Ggs to everyone in my room Shout outs to lazorz saving my ass an serving as a ghetto burst that does damage and gives me 5k in certain situations Shout outs to dropping said 5k combos because fuck chara specific combos Shout outs to dwb giving me that Noel virus again Shout outs to everyone getting astral'd once by omni and then me trying (and failing miserably) to land an astral with litchi. Yo, I don't even play this game!

its already gapless, otherwise it wouldn't be so good 5b ja is completely gapless, and 5a ja only has a one frame gap, 4 on ib. the only difference in cp is that it hits more characters, the characters that give her the most trouble in ex (minus noel, unless she's in your face. or you're in hers.)

Is 6b still safe on block in cp?

You hush >.> I don't mean it like that omni. Lol my memory is just staying free at the moment

Dammmn I seriously don't remember this. I only remember playing pochp and two decent tsubakis Maybe I'm just going loco or something.

We played offline? O.o Sure ill send an inv you can just come in whenever. Also, makoto is bad

Huh? Chase you off? What do you mean.

That or immediate 5d into 6b which will never happen in a real match... yeah ways to combo from 6b are really specific, kinda stupid. I remember in cs1 that setup where we could do 6b into charged laser into combo

someone prei miiiii

YESSS. bacon cheesburger pizza should be the new standard pizza.

rampage being salty again, nothing new anyway, still on a mission to find a 3k combo from midscreen 6b...

This is probably what will end up happening, but I think what rachel is saying is implied literally - as in, he's going to really die.

Yeah, in spirit. I won't be online that day.

you need a partner? matchmaking at it's finest. you guys can be team Love At First Sight

Is anyone planning on uploading p4/bb/gg to YouTube? @brkrdave I play this game too much

Good luck guys.
