That sounds. pretty fun to do actually. I can just imagine how funny it'd be to be able to place a water bubble wight next to me only to have my opponent whiff their normals everyday when they'd otherwise hit. I saw an Ice Maori in a combo vid once. That damage was off the charts. there's a lot of people saying to use Love. Is it really -that- good?

Ok, so, thanks to the combined efforts of people in this thread( 'preciate it, by the way ), I now have my rushdown character I'm going to be maining for practice with rushdown(Lilica) and someone I'll be subbing so I can fall back on zoning for those times when I definitely will screw up my execution with Lilica; that person is Maori(It was going to be Scharlarot but I was looking up combos and other such things for her and to me, all of her normals feel like she's going in slow motion.) Can we discuss Arcanas now? what are effective ones for the Main and sub I've chosen(aside from defaults)?

Well, that would normally help but the thing is, I'm gay. Like....literally. out of all the ones you mentioned, I find the "Smaller, capable of dodging" one you mentioned the most interesting. Charge attacks are hit or miss depending on how long I actually have to hold. I don't know how people manage to hold back for 3 seconds on someone like Chun-li and then actually get Kikouken or Spinning Bird Kick to go into a combo somewhere but, that's another game. Rushdown I've never been good at when you compare it to how good I was at zoning, that being said I've come to appreciate rushdown way more than zoning and tried to learn how to back when I played(didnt really succeed but it's what it is).

Ok, so long story short, one of my friends insists I play this game. I don't even know what type of character I'm even looking for cause I stopped playing FGs a while ago. I was hoping maybe someone could suggest someone to me. I've played many different types of characters across countless fighting games so I'll consider anyone.

Thank you for all your help, I'm sure the match up should be easier with all this stuff.

This is another match up I have trouble with. My main problem is Johnny's j.Hs is difficult to anti-air for me, because some times he'll look like he's jumping at me, then double jump out of 6p or 6s and ensenga or divine blade (depending where he ends up) so it's difficult to know when to commit to an anti-air. Other things 've noticed is that Johnny always has frame advantage, I think it has to something to do with Mist Stance (I think he said he cancels his strings into mist stance ans presses hs to cancel mist finer). He also seems to have a pretty identical optimal range to Briget. I'll be almost half a screen away, and I'll get hit by Johnny's f.S out of the Roll trying to put some space between us. And one more weird thing, some times I feel like Jackhound has more stun than other times? Like some times I can mash out before he combos me, and other times I can't. Also, some times I'll block a max range f.S and Johnny'll wave dash or 6kfrc at me and throw, is there something I can do about this? Thank you in advance for your input.

Um...I thought it'd be okay to post a new thread in here since it seems AC+R will be out soon. I have a friend who plays Potemkin and I have a hard time against him. The first thing it that I can't figure out what to do to keep in Bridget's optimal range, out of Potemkin Buster Range. Everytime I try to poke him with 6S or f.S he just Hammerfalls through it and God help me if I'm knocked down. When ever I try to jump out he just uses Heat Knuckle, or sometimes Heavenly Buster, and it I stay on the ground, he does some slidehead thing. Also, what kind of things should I do on his wake up? If I backdash and try to use f.S on his wake up, he hammerfalls, if I stay close he Busters. This match is supposedly in Bridget's favor, but I can't figure out what I should be doing I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for your input, I just started learning Bridget, so I don't know very much about how to play the character, so this information is valuble to me. I do think I could use a bit more match up information, but I know this isn't the place to ask. I don't think anyone will mind since Accent Core's days are almost over if I post a vs. Johnny or vs. Potemkin match-up thread. Potemkin especially, I don't really like having to play differently to avoid his overly long reach Potemkin Buster.

I'm not too sure I'm playing Bridget right. I was playing some games with a friend of mine, and he normally plays Johnny and Potemkin. I got into the heat of the moment and started complaining about the stuff Johnny could do, so he switch to his crazy Heavenly Buster spamming Potemkin, and after a few wins, he decides to troll me and pick Bridget, who he's never even played before. To my surprise though, he beat me then too. I would press f.S and he would be just outside my range, then he would hit f.S and hit me into a short combo. He said something about just being good at spacing normals, and then he told me that "Sitting outside an opponents range and just poking with long range normals is probably Buri's style." Is that really true? Also, are Johnny and Potemkin really match ups in Bridget's favor? If it helps any, my friend is Destruction_adv if any of you have played him.

Thank you for the speedy reply. I also have another question, can you do 1-frame jumps by just hitting 7+p+k or do I have to do 8 then 7+p+k or 4+p+k? Thanks in advance.

I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find it, so I hought I'd inquire here. How do you do a 1-frame jump in this game?

That's a bit of a bummer. It's a little discouraging, but I think Venom'll still be good,

This is so awesome, finally, I can see the changes we've been waiting to see so long. I really want this game to come out. If only we had a release date. I'm curious as to how the Venom changes affect him, would anyone more expirenced than I care to explain

Many thanks

I can't for the life of me get J.2d Down and all of the tutorials are in Japanese which I can't read. Someone please help me. I am having troubles with inputting 2D and jumping straight afterward only to have to do J.2C straight afterward. How does someone overcome this?
