Good find on the video. but there's an extra input I'm hearing that I don't understand. Plus, he's not Jump Installing. I feel like he's inputting 8, HS for the dolphin instead of 8HS.. You guys broke the combo down very efficently, but I'm going to paraphrase it really short to stress the point and hopefully Snoots gets it. Two tricks allow this to work 1- An input buffering system, which allows you to input [2] before you actually see the HS 2- A delayed special cancel between the HS and the SVD as you can special cancel the move later than the initial hit. This means that you can start earlier & Finish later. Together you have a comfortable window to input a full charge. Good hunting soldier, Kyle

Match-up and Tier list. Top is the best characters Bottom is the worst http://www.din.or.jp/%7Ewaiter-7/zabe04.htm#no

Well, I've been saying Ky and Eddie for a while now but realistically, that hasn't happened. Once I update all the match-up info gathered so-far we can see who has enough adequate input. Unless, someone has a specific request. I'm confident enough to do Johnny and Robot now so those will be sooner than later.

About this match- http://youtube.com/watch?v=t1seK1OK7EY May was random and "Freeballed it just as you did", if either one of you had a sense of controlling space than it would have been rape. Airthrow and Anti-air are a big part of this match for Anji. Now, I want to talk about what Anji SHOULD be doing. -6K GP AntiAir baby. -Air throw, Anji is the F'N wind god, the air is YOUR space. -5H to punish May when she whiffs a 2HS. -Dear god if your going to close space, don't swing, just FD break. -Don't give her CH, seriously, don't swing if you aren't sure -Don't treat this like Slayer, Her movement is 10X Better, treat it like Axel. Lots of D @ Midrange, than punish when she does the wrong poke -Jump all of her mix-ups, most importantly 5D & 5[D] -Use 5P as Anti- dolphin Most importantly you have to read the opponents and be very flexible. If you sure she will jump than do 6S, SJI, into a KD combo. If your sure she will backdash out of a Butterfly trap throw a HS fujin. If she guards a whole lot just throw her into frustration, as Anji throw is a perfect butterfly trap. Oh last thing, when she throws a J.2HS, Anji should jump into it and IB, this will force Anji to land first giving him a free throw when May lands. =) All the best guys. Kyle

Sup Snoots. Welcome to Dustloop

HOt Damn thank you. I feel like... an American who doesn't know enough about Kanji and shit. =) Well, I feel better now that FT/Efute is around. The 3 May's I always refer to are all around. Well, Kedako hopefully will pull through as his qualifier is still going on (I think). But, think of it this way, at least he's not in the middle of Ogawa and FAB's qualifier. Actually, the more I think about it, I bet FAB will move to this tourney and leave Ogawa alone... if it's possible. For the record, while watching SBO: FT/Efute plays Sky Blue May Kedako plays Original colors May Moriyama plays Original colors May Don't worry, their play styles are drastically different. If your not laughing, than your watching Kedako. =P UPDATE- E-2 Qual is finished and winner is: eki-chan (ZA) / Shachou (社長) (ED) / Kazu (JA)... NO KEDAKO =P 23 teams recognized right now... American SBO team is announced on the 30th of June. Kedako doesn't have much longer. UPDATE AGAIN- Endou sucks, LOL http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%E9%81%A0%E8%97%A4+%28MA%29&search_type=&aq=f http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Endou+%28MA%29&search_type=&aq=f Unless these vids are REALLY REALLY old...

Dear May Soldiers, -THX for being patient with me. It's been a unique and busy two weeks. But, I am almost back into a routine. -I didn't get the badass job I was bankin on... Yeah, that suxors. -I did however play LOADS of Gear in the Pacific Northwest, and level'd up even more. I have finally optimized my air throw game. With May's intense jumping speed, May can air throw Ky out of his aerial OKI set-ups on YOUR wake-up, it looks HOT... However, Can't air throw Diz's J.2S...bitch. -I will write the Anji guide either today or tomorrow guyz. I promise, It's a successful formula as I am confident with my ability to beat Anji. (For the record there's a video of me vs Pownzer from over a year and a half ago where I lost, but didn't effectively implement an anti-Anji strat, I kinda, just sucked it up. However, this Anji strat WORKS as I've figured it out since then) -About 6HS cancels and difficult input. I look at it this way, And honestly, you guys should too. Everyone plays games and characters for different reasons. But, as a moderator, which is more or less a teacher, I am showcasing May @ her fullest potential. As I personally strive to be the best that I can, Hell, I try to be the best in the U.S., I prioritize optimizing damage and defensive options. But, people play for different reasons. If you don't want to do EXACTLY as I say, it's all good brother. =). As a player, play your character HOWEVER you like. I am just here to guide people to her fullest potential. So, we can discuss differences and pros and cons about different situations without harshness. For example: I saw Frank-That-Tank, DESTROY an Axel @ Final Round with perfectly executed OKI of HS-Hoop, FRC, 5D mix-ups and shit. I saw Azure Phoenix play May with jumping FDC cancel mix-ups b/c of a a Chipp influence with his local community. Both play immensely different, but everyone's fulfilling their reasons of playing gear, having fun. -Now onto the most exciting news. SBO Baby. Current May's that qualified: B-1: Koichi (MI) / Endou (遠藤) (MA) / Nemo (TE) D-2: N-O (N男) (VE) / Dogura (RO) / FT (MA) F-3: YOGO (JA) / K-mura (K村) (ED) / Moriyama (森山) (MA) We have 3 this year. =) Kedako is listed under E-2 but nothing else... I wonder. Moriyama has a STRONG team with ED & JA FT/Efute has a STRONG team with N & Dogura I am SOOOOOO Excited to watch Moriyama this year. SBO PARTY WOOOT

Welcome to the May boards Dante. First part look at the 101 thread in the beginning where it says :INPUT: Post#2, it's under the 6HS section. Multiple quotes and examples, I've compiled the most useful info from all the May players which has helped people learn the input properly. Here: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3750 Second part... no reach?!?!... if it misses than it depends on what height the opponent was when you started the combo, and the delay of the SVD, as it is still a special cancel. The 5HS does not recover, it special cancels as late as possible.

Did you mean 5H instead of 5K? 5K get's raped by 2S and FB Puff stuff, & Sucks as anti-air.

Anji is the next write up guys. It's easy I promise.

5P and 2P when hit confirmed will be burst safe on combo and pressure. 5S when hit confirmed will be burst safe on combo and pressure. 2S at a decent range is burst safe on combo and pressure. anything jump cancelable (5K/5S/5FS) is burst safe as you can jump and flashguard on combo/pressure. This is tough BTW 3K FRC works but is not worth the tension or risk. If you go into FHSHD or FBSHD and they burst late you can recover in time to IB the burst. 6P whiffs but the recovery is too long to be useful. This is my favorite from Slash, if they burst on combo or pressure, May can special cancel anything into RR FRC to IB than punish, or May can Special cancel anything into P hoop FRC and run in to punish. Finally, if you gatlin into 2HS for a burst on pressure of combo you go under and recover in time to punish.

I went to the Science Fiction museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle, but for some weird reason there was a picture portraied to represent all of Cosplay, and it was a May from Sakuracon? years ago. LOL. The epic pic was just chilling next to an original storm trooper outfit. Seattle rocks!!!

Kyle vs Azure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw1C3E8_t-w Jump IB hoop, FD grounded dolphin 6P works in this fight.. I COULD have done it more I stiill drop combo for burst, it's an awefuly bad habit Pseudo Unblock almost combo into whale but hoop dolphin was not a CH Always jump May's mix-up, seriously, look how much I jump and FD'd. I ate a few air throws but whatev, that damage sux. Light weight Dust combo is nice to see, he didn't tech so I jackhounded for kill

I'll be in Seattle for the next two weeks so my usual routine will be... different. But i'll do my best to keep this forum updated. All the best soldiers, Kyle Wattula

This is why you see players do a mode change after a win, contrasted to the taunt.

That was my attempt to get you out of hiding. =P Welcome back PaethonH
