Overheat

When will CS2 be taking place? I can't seem to find it on the schedule. I might end up going if it's at a convenient time. Too bad it's on the 360... But I can play alright on it, so it should still be fine.

I'm glad this is getting settled. However, I was referring to a "bad day" in general, I don't believe I said I had one (nor do I think I had one). Anyway. that's why I was doing easier stuff, on top of it being my first tourney, so that I'd be able to not drop a lot of things for guaranteed damage. To clarify, I meant TK feints are for mindgames (of course...). Yes, her mix-up options are pretty much always the same, but I like using unconventional or less common mix-up. I don't know... I just am not a fan of critiquing others who don't asked to be critiqued. In this case, you don't mind, but I would (and did). We're done here? I'll take that advice gladly and look at things critically in a week or so.

Well, I asked nicely, and it's just what I wanted, but you haven't listened... I could critique you, but I don't want to. I didn't see much good information, I'm sorry. You're right about the specifics and the general trends, but I think Kenja should work on the general things first, for now. Dash in 6A is fine. Obviously 5B and all those others are better options. I know that cookie. I'm not in the mood for it, though. Especially when it's done so forward and in such a rude way, with some cursing. I think there's a time and place for this, but right now, I really don't want to deal with this. I was referring to me doing it in other settings, but my execution was affected by 360-PS3 converters not working properly, which made me use an old worn-out PS1 controller in some matches, including that whole set. I'm being honest when I say that I didn't really learn anything. I'm taking this personally. If I wanted advice, I would seek it out. Please don't force anything on me, since I haven't learned anything yet, nor do I want to at the moment.

Once again, PM's, please. I didn't want advice here, I didn't ask for advice here, and I want this to be dropped. I'm considering deleting my posts of this debate later, since I didn't learn anything here. I consider it akin to someone critiquing a random person's play, even if they didn't ask for advice, since, for sure, everyone makes mistakes and does questionable things. From the first match, I did dash 6A 2 times after cover from 214D, 1 time as an AA. Not going to go into the 2nd and third match, since I doubt that changed much. Perfectly fine IMO. If that's all the critique you've got to give me, then I don't think there's much to work on at all. Any responses you give will be dealt with through PM's, respectfully.

I meant more for 236D~C, but in those cases, I'll assume you did 6DD > 2DD > 236D or just 6DD > 236D. IAD away, in that case. Try to keep away from the corner, of course, so corner carry combo's are preferred. I'll look at it more thoroughly later and point out general things to work on, since I don't believe pointing out any 1 specific problem is much help in the long run.

Tager match-ups, IMO, for both players, is about being patient. I'm personally content with just (very) slowly chipping away at his health, or keeping him blocking from far away. You should generally always want to GTFO against him, and play as lame as possible if you want to win. It's different if you want to have fun, and that's understandable. Smart 214D's, 236D(~C's), and Drive usage to frustrate him. Hit confirms for 1-2K combo's is fine, just make every (or most) mistake(s) he does a punish. I'll never explicitly get on anyone's execution, cuz anyone can have a bad day. And sorry if I was too blunt. I'm going to add a disclaimer every time I post in critique threads, even if it's supposed to be implicit.

No, it's not anyone's fault. I was just salty. I want to move on, but if tuka wants to continue a discussion (or anyone for that matter), I'd like to stick to PM's.

I don't want critique or advice. I know what I did wrong there, but I think it was beyond my control. I'm not seeking improvement, in that form, at the moment. Sorry for being salty, but I'm not focusing on this type of improvement right now (since I already know those things). I don't want to get into any debate, so we can leave it at that. If you want clarification or anything, then PM's, please. IMO, 236D: air dash j.B > j.C air dash j.B empty jump TK feint 71 frames to do whatever one wants to. I don't find anything wrong with TK feint mix-up to vary things up sometimes.

^ lol I'm not going to make any excuses for my execution, even though there is a legitimate one. Instead, I'd like to point out that I already know 236D's mix-up. It's air dash j.B > j.C, or just j.B if your opponent is going to crouch. 2B > 4B isn't good, IMO. Unless your opponent can't block. I hope you're not telling me to brush up on my combo's. No need to do something complicated if a simple combo gets the job done. Dash in with whatever normal I want to, since Lambda's recovery makes it easy to do whatever you want to in a mirror. I didn't ask for advice, nor do I need any, so no need to give me any. A vid of me just happened to be posted in this thread. If you want to continue this, we can stick to PM's.

Too many uncombo'ed Parsers. Horrible idea against Tager, punishable by anyone with a reversal. Work on combo's and hitconfirms. Don't rush in unless you know he can't handle your mix-up, or you don't respect the Tager.

70% accurate. Maybe I got lucky and it's all right. Those 4 pairs of arrows show the matches that got recorded.

Shoutouts to everyone being really nice, really cool people. You guys have an awesome scene; keep it up! I can only hope Vancouver one day has meet-ups, let alone impressive set-ups and a nice venue. Shoutouts to... Lambda mirrors in Winner's, Loser's, and Grand Finals. Thanks to TAP, Shiro, and MSG for being so hospitable and helpful (especially for driving all the way from Calgary). I was very impressed by that Ibuki, which reminds me that I've gotta start learning AE seriously. Congrats to Vancouver Riot Force winning the teams tournament lol Thanks for the experience guys. I think I'll probably head down to Canada Cup as well!

Sorry I'm already teamed up with DJ.

If you guys have a major and the prize is worth it, or if it's sometime when I don't have exams, then I'd be interested in going. I wouldn't mind going to one next year, if it's around summer time. Even if it's just for casuals or any meet-up.

Haha, I won't be able to play Lambda then. You'll get my Mu or Noel, maybe Tager.

If I were the odd man out, could I enter in doubles by myself (with 2 different characters)? Also, will there be time for casuals after? Money matches, if anyone's interested?

Ah, that's what I thought before too. But that would just be BS, wouldn't it? It's a low. Helps to look at frame data if a move seems really good or really bad, just to see if there's anything else interesting about it.

XD You're quite the artist, aren't you? Well done! I love the way you draw ^.^

No, it's not. Think 5DD > 4DD back in CT. 6DD is just a replacement for that. It existed in CS1, but it was a bit harder to do. Now, it's easier with the increased hitstop and hitstun.

There's no age limit, is there?

Should go without saying, but... constructive criticism, I'm by no means trying to insult you, but trying to help you get better in your best interest. I think your approach needs work. Cancelling run into Barrier is a fantastic way to start off. I think you should be using more of Noel's gatlings for easier and safer hitconfirms, or better blockstrings. Thor should be used less IMO, unless it's punishing something very very obvious with bad recovery. And even then, there'd be better meterless punishes that do more damage and gain some Heat as well. There were a lot of 2D's thrown around. You respected Lambda's zoning much more than you should have. That's just my 2 cents. Take with a grain of salt.

Sounds like a good idea. Probably will have the first one as the General (since it the makes sense), then have the move list one in-between (in spoilers), and the O__O Frame Data in spoilers after that. I might need at least 5 posts with how long the frame data part might be. I'll try and keep it neat.

Haha, I finally finished that dumb changelist. IDK if it's too long or what =/ I have it in 3 versions, so to speak. One with raw frame data changes and notes, another with a complete move list and a short word description, and another with general changes. I'll definitely post the general changes, but who would be interested in raw frame data changes? It seems a bit too analytical, but there are some very telling and useful stuff in there. The move list is short and succinct, so if you've been generally following Lambda through videos and the like, it'll be good review. The frame data version would be the best, but only for those who can fully understand it. It's the most comprehensive version, along with the general changes one. Thoughts? It'll unfortunately need a new thread, which I plan on creating in a few days.

The only 2 things I'd get on you for is your early bursting (which is usually personal preference) and combo choice... Other than that, it looked fine. I'd need to see more vids to make a better judgement. These could maybe be moved to the General Thread? IDK, might help put it somewhat back on topic.

I don't think good Lambda's should be doing this, but you're right; it is one of her options. 2D should be able to stuff all of her uncombo'ed Parsers (worked in CS1, just make sure she doesn't do a cross-over Act-A)
