Villainous

I TRY to avoid using dandy too much since it is pretty easy to punish but it does have some good uses. Dand S vs an air born opponent nets good combos and if you can condition them to thinking you'll delay the it's late, you can get a nice CH and that shit HURTS. Don't use it too much though. Generally I only use dandy if I expect apoke, such as at the start of the round. Immediately do P dandy, if they swing, free pile bunker. If they don't, you're generally safe at that distance if you just let it recover. I also use dandy to give the illusion of doing something unsafe. PB or Crosswise to make them go for a punish and immediately RC into 5H or j.H in crosswises case. It either gets a CH or they block it and you can get a mixup. Use sparingly.

pro strat vs eddie: punch Marn/Ogawa/Teyah in the face and hope no one notices. finish match before they get back up.

wtf man. Take your logic out of here and come back with some HYPE in it's place.

Actually on the topic of projectiles, I always thought it'd be cool if he had a projectile force break where he like.....opened up his cape and purple bats flew out long enough for you to get a free mix up or something off of them. It would be sexy. But yeah what everyone else said. Be patient vs. testament. He can't do anything to you turtling over there so don't stick you neck out to hit him. Just wait till he gets impatient and comes out of his fortress of trap shit. Most testaments want you to try to hit their traps with some pokes, it gives them a chance to get a free hit in. "Oh, jump at me and kick my web so I can 6K you in the face." Yeah.

Even at point blank range? That shit comes from the ground. If that's true, that's good info though.

Yeah I have a habit of being overly aggressive too. Slayer is at his best when he just sits back and plays it safe and capitalizes when he gets the chance. As good as he is, you really don't have to take risks to win.

Time loops are so cheesy.

I'm so hype I shit my pants. I'm totally bringing complimentary popcorn to FR so we can all sit back watch and enjoy the show.

Yeah the links are annoying at first but then you realize it actually makes him better. Gives you time to think about your options as well as hit confirm so you don't do stupid stuff. IE: if you do 2K 2H, you can start hit confirming 2K so if it doesn't hit you can link into 2S -> mix up of your choice. 2D is an amazing move for mid screen. It comes out fast as fuck and has a ton of active frames. As long as you don't do it right in their face, it really stops people from approaching you. I've been using it a lot lately with good success when I think they're going to try to approach me from the ground. Once you get down the RC combos, it's extra good. Oh and I found out that undertow is actually good against baiken. If you do something like block string -> undertow when you think she'll counter, it's usually free hits. Nice to use to deter her from spamming counters when you try to pressure her.

Oh shit HYPE!!! Marvel best watch itself, GG on the come up!

HATE x_x

Hey did those pride matches ever go down? If so, who won em?

Damn, lotta really good talent there. Enjoyed watching some of those matches. Especially the VERY last one in finals. Marn's a cheap ass with like 4 unblockables in a row. He really wanted that win, lol. Doren vs. Flash was like.....watching the same person fight themself. Really good match though. Also watching Kugler play is almost like watching myself play if only I knew how to block. Hopefully I make it out to the next one!

Hmm yeah I do need to work on not dropping stuff vs. certain characters. I finally figured out to do two 5K's after BBU 2D to get him at the right level but I should probably just do 5H isntead. I'll work 5K 6P into my game for in the corner, I just never really got into using it, but it would save meter for sure. And you can jump into the orbs slash backing? I might try that in the future. Thanks for the input

Damn good job on that, that's really an excellent resource for slayer match up stuff. The RTL is commended! Also no one commented on my mediocre match video that I put up on youtube

Seems kinda risky where as if you KNEW he was doing hammerfall you could just do undertow and save meter AND get a CH combo off of it. Now if BBU was useable for special cancels, then that'd be awesome. Throw out a 5K and if you see it hit some super armor, BBU through.

So basically you're in trouble either way. Wouldn't Gier's 3rd hit smack you if you did 4D?

Hmm well, I was mostly referring to Mei Fang's, and the witch chick. I haven't mesed around with heart much yet, but I guess the DPs are ok as anti air, they just don't work that great on the ground >_<

Any of you guys find a way out of gier/lighting super into unblockable yet? Seems like it's possible using guard cancels but I haven't found any super reliable way yet. Also what's up with the DPs hit boxes in this game, they're tiny.

ok got my match on youtube, the other one that our video guy uploaded was our other Slayer and not the one with me, so I guess it's just one video for today. We kinda scrubbed out on a lot of it (wake up super into attempted BBU but failing), but it's entertaining, atleast. Purify = maximum turtle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vq8aECesnE

haha, I don't play as much as I did before too and it shows. My first match in my first video was pretty bad, lots of messed up inputs and back dashes resulting in me just getting hit a lot. I got back in the groove after that though. Does it matter what codec I use or does it not really matter for the compression thing?

Hmm.....I'd say.....stop going for IAD j.D j.2K j.K relaunch so much unless it's your only option. Your combos are good when you get them but you also drop them a lot.....might help to work something more reliable in. Otherwise, really nice slayer. I saw you do IAD j.K land 5P relaunch combo from a distance, I might start trying that when they're too far away. As always, more 2S and 5K can never hurt anyone's game, lol. Oh and as for video compression, I got that program you suggested. What should I do to get it compressed. Like.....what format and settings and all that.

120 something MB I think.

Finally got some videos of myself playing, gimme some tips! I kept fucking up BDC on wake up and getting hit, and I messed up dash in bite twice (hadn't been able to practice for a good while now because my PS2's broke) but other than that, decent showing. Me vs. Purify: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0YOU7UE1 edit (the one that was here was our other slayer player, didn't realize it till I finally got around to downloading it) If you guys want me to stick them on youtube, i'll see what I can do. (ack nvm, too fucking huge to put on you tube. Anyone know some good video compression software?)

Hmm well I guess spamming was a bad word but I did fight a pot that was using it a lot when I was being offensive. Since a lot of slayer's stuff is 1 hit pokes, he was using it to go through my pressure / spacing. Sometimes with the cancel into pot buster. I think 6K might be bad in pressure strings, like if you do 5K 6K, he can back dash out of that pretty easy for a pot buster. I guess DOT would be a good answer and I imagine if you do it from the far side of the screen up close, he can't even punish it cept maybe with slide head. I think I try to be too offensive against pot x_x
