purify

This guy hits you with crossup GS once every 10 fights, but you said it's probably Ky's only decent mixup option. Sounds like...he's doing crossup GS entirely by accident and everything else is random in the purest, most awesome way. On the subject of matchups, Stun Edge FRC is also -very- useful against I-no. Not only can you punish TK note, but you can also likely get in well enough to knock her down. Force Breaks are of course amazing as well. Cross will take care of notes for you, it may negate Chemical Love also. I just wish there was a way to do with her ground super.

In terms and definitions, zoning and keepaway aren't separated like they should be. Aksys should definitely be one of the english links. The frame data pages should be linked also, somewhere easy to spot, like the top of the main page. Looks pretty good so far.

it's not a mixup to begin with blarghaghahg

And guys, you just have to deal with proration. You can't realistically start all of your combos off with a normal that doesn't prorate.

Gimmicks and mixup are not one and the same. A definition of mixup would be: your method of breaking the opponent's defense with two or more safe, potentially damaging options. The simplest way to explain that would be: normal with good recovery > walk > throw, same normal > cancel to different normal, same normal > walk > another normal, etc. You insert things like these into your blockstrings, and as for overheads, Dust instead of Greed Sever. It's much easier to make Dust safe. At max range, it's hard to punish. If somebody blocks Greed Sever at max range...well, I'm not sure why they'd even be standing there watching the move animate for three seconds and not already hitting you lol. I've yet to fight a really good Dizzy. All I can tell you is her defense sucks in like every way and her hitboxes are enormous.

Very good stuff, I was just thinking about doing this myself today, but with more stressing the goodness of 5H and how f.S is not a "good poke" like I've been hearing in places. I agree on pretty much everything. 6k's air hit effects aren't mentioned. Like the WHAT DOES HE DO part lol. edit: Oh also, great work with the links and background information.

Link takes you to a blank map now.

You know, cranking up your post count doesn't really matter here seeing as it's not displayed. FRCs shouldn't be until after you've got the basics down. I don't consider FRCs basics. First, you have to get used to how different GG is from every other fighting game, i.e. how throws, dusts, overheads, juggles, normals, uppercuts and everything else work. All of this takes a while, and the more you play, the more you'll pick up. Too many people skip all of that and go striaght to practicing combos/execution. This way, you're not still all "WTF?????? CHAEP" after the 100th time your okizeme was thrown, your jump-in was 6Ped, your tech was airthrown, your burst was baited, your lack of FD in the air gets you hit, ABA keeps getting away with FB superarmor, ETC ETC ETC ETC

Stun Edge FRC > Potemkin. Wish I could do the damn thing 100% of the time, though, that requires PRACTICE ahhh

well that doesn't really fit the topic, but who are all these people saying Ky is bad? He's not as good as Slash Ky, no, but Slash Ky was top. AC Ky is a better design in my opinion and a more fun character to play. Lots of new options and nice new moves.

Avoiding 2H isn't so much of a problem as avoiding 6k/2k, which can link into 2H > big gay upper.

There's an imaginary marker realllly close to Villainous for me thx.

You know, I wish I could fight against these people you guys fight against that appraently just randomly IAD at you. Don't get the chance to anti air people very often unless I'm at a con or with non-GG players or something. I don't like the word "lag" to describe recovery, because...well, it's just recovery. "laggy moves" sounds so...I dunno. shrug. Regarding Vapor Thrust, it's an uppercut (a special with invicibility at startup...unless you're Bridget), but certainly not the best one. Many, many low normals can completely avoid it even if you're as close to their sprite as possible. Eventually, the people you fight will know you have an uppercut and that you can do it. At that point, the move is still an option, certainly, but again, nothing to rely on. Though you don't want to, sometimes the best option is actually to just block. Learning to block is very important. Some people never get good at it. edit: oh...so you're kinda secluded. Well, you can pick up the basics on an online version of the game, like that Reload stuff that's big nowadays. There's likely -somebody- around there, have you tried looking around the Match Finder?

Most people are noobs here, only a few of them admit it. Just don't be a scrub and it's cool. That thread tells you what everything does, but you're probably still wondering what exactly you should be trying to do. If you can't tell from Japanese matches what's going on, here's the basic idea: knock people down. As they're getting up, make sure you have something out to hit them that won't get you hit. If they block it, you should have something in mind to do to land the next hit. The big, slow fireball is only to be done in this instance, and it's good for this purpose. They stand up, they block three hits, you're able to do run up and force them into blocking more. If you're playing with friends, then I imagine they'll get hit with lows over and over for a while, but eventually you'll need to start using throws, frametraps, (properly using) overheads. Don't do random things. If the person you're fighting is flailing around, doing Riot Stamp or Lust Shaker over and over, just do whatever punishes that move until they stop. This is how people get better at fighting games. If they complain that you beat everything they do, then be patient with them a while. This is the scrub mentality. I wouldn't say anything Ky does could be considered cheap (though I'm often told otherwise...by seasoned old school street fighter players no less ghdksag;lkdsafjlsd). Okay, also, leave supers alone. It'll be a while before you can recognize the specific situations for using them. They're just not that great compared to most games and not spammable at all, thus forming bad habits. If you can't FRC, just use your tension for simple Stun Dipper RC combos (roman cancel the second hit of the command sweep move, juggle with 5K or c.S, the timing isn't strict at all) and use Dead Angles. When you eventually get enough practice in to use FRCs, you'll discover a whole new game. So yeah, most things you can just learn from experience. If you have any good players in your area (I think there are ranking battles and stuff in Sweden), play those guys as often as possible and you'll pick up things quicker than if somebody tells you on a forum or if you watch vids. There are some things that can really help you that I have no idea if you know/no one can possibly have the time to post them all, like "oh, I can just FD x hit in x character's block string and regain the advantage" etc. And uhhhh don't rely on greed sever or stun dipper, they're both unsafe and again, bad habits.

Marn told me he thought it was a bad match for Pot. YEAH WHATEVER DAWG. EX j.D is great against Pot. He can't do a damn thing about it.

Is it actually confirmed that every character has a hidden move?

You're telling me that guy is Fighter? The head/helmet is pretty similar, yeah...okay. I haven't often seen the FF 1/2/3 art. The hair color, weapon, shield and armor seemed a lot more like Cecil's than Cain's, at least, and I knew of no other smilarly outfitted Final Fantasy characters. Cool with me if it's a fighter/Light Warrior then.

What? Cecil there looks like an accurate rendering of Amano's art, down to the swirly on the belt buckle. Anyway, somebody post when new info pops up on this. I want to know more. And yeah, Edgar would totally own11111111111!111

wh....at? If you're talking about the guy with the sword and the shield, that's probably Dark Knight Cecil and not Cain. But ah...wow, this is different.

New Ky player drama is all we need. Start that shit up.

That means we can't take anybody's advice here, since KY PLAYERS DON'T WIN TOURNEYS EVEN THOUGH HE'S TOP TIER. Sigh shrug awful right.

I think Thouther should be lower at the beginner level also. Unless you can do big combos and control the match like you should, you'll die pretty quick from random hits (which is pretty much what beginner level is). I have very little experience with this game, though. Definitely agree on Juda. He's a Marvel character, good supers and all ;p ...and that mirror break, geez, shit's too good.

It's also still in user profile. Holy shit that Ken av is intimidating. It's like "post dumb shit and you're already dead".

awesome. Maybe Jeremy/darkhonor/yar/etc will stop spamming now.
