Kiba

Nah, it's pre patch.

Great stuff Nick! I'm looking forward to trying some of those out, especially that combo on Tager!

You guys, that was really good. I have a few other tsubaki players that I can definately recommend this too. Thanks for sharing. PK I have to apologise, I know I've been slacking on adding videos, somewhat. I used to add vids straight away but I've become more relaxed with that these days.

Haha! That looks hella cool! Wonder why they'd make it bigger though. I mean, I can still see it only useful for combos, and it makes going in the air a lot more dangerous against Mitsuru.

Bowser + Kiba was a cool team anyway. It's sick, considering my love for the guy anyway. We should come up with a cool team name next time, if there is a next time, ha. Hope it helped. Looking back on the matches they weren't that bad. At least I have matches to look back on and analyse.

Midscreen with no stock: (3CC > RC > 5C) > 2CC > IAD j.CC > 5C > 2CC > 236B > 214B > 22B. The brackets signify that it doesn't have to be done. Also, I wouldn't use stock from a gold burst midscreen only because it's kinda awkward. You could do 22D > 236D > IAD Combo though. In Corner with no stock, you would use the same above combo, but with stock there are a few variations, like: 5C > 2C > 623C > j.236A (w) > j.214D > 6CC > 236C > 5C > 2C > 236B > 214B > 22B 5C > 2CC > 22D > 6CC > 236C > 5C > 2C > 236B > 214B > 22B I'm unsure if these can be slightly optimised, but those are just some ideas to give you some thought. Hope it helps.

BBR Zekuso (VK) vs Arakune

It's not a good idea to use 2CC unless you can actually hitconfirm it. You're just giving him more opportunities to punish your whiffs. If the player baits it with 7C, you could just wait until he does 7C then retaliate, or move. I do not mean stay on top of him with 236C/214D. I was actually talking about in neutral or when you're far range, considering Valk can get to you pretty quickly. And yes they are both punishable but you need to show the Valk that you have options against his nonsense and he shouldnt be able to get away with that much.

The best part was how it related to the MU against Ragna. Seriously though it shouldn't for several reasons but I'm not gonna go into that because more posts will continue to be against the main topic at hand. You should discuss this in the BB related thread.

6A should be the least of your worries because it's not a very good reversal anyway. It doesn't have any foot invulnerability and it loses to throws. It's just too easy to disrespect Tsubaki's pressure, and Valk gets decent damage and corner carry countering Tsubaki's 6A for example. You're probably better with some sort of stagger pressure (5A/2A stuff), because you want to do everything you can to stay on top of it and not let him get away. Also, don't let him come to you, because if that happens, most likely you're gonna get hit. You need to keep moving using 236C, 214D, and making use of 2C where necessary.

Team St1ckbug Tournament 5/26/12 OmniSscythe (MK) VS KingChefIvan (TS)

Don't be. I was pretty excited myself until I was told that the game will not playable there. It's just going to be a presentation about the game, and as much as I would love to see that, I pretty much know quite a bit about the game. It also will not surprise me if the game comes out quite late here, hence why I'll be getting the US version. That and laziness got the better of me. Some things are too good to be true.

I catch tech rolls/late techs with 2B, simply because it's easier, and if it whiffs I won't be punished. You can get a full IAD combo from it.
