Matoi puts taunt in combos because it is trollish, he found a way to blend trolling and oki in a way that he can still get mix up and add taunt into every combo. The amount of damage he sacrifices for dumb shit is outstanding, and this is why I have no faith in him whatsoever #IsaDAGod

GG Someonewhodied Going to assume you aren't talking about me in that shitty player comment. Also netplay didn't fuck up your 236236 motion you were mashing so hard you got TK air super lol. It wouldn't have made a difference really because I was blocking for wake up super anyway =/.

You mash in hit-stun...how in gods name do you ever get knockdown/survive fatal combos?

HOW?! o.0

So long as Terumi can swing his weapon vertically and horizontally I'm fine with anything. Honestly I'm tired of creative gameplay and just want a little more generic simplicity like Persona AAAAAA combos.

The Journey to Become a Ninja of Ikaruga

Matoi played against Amane all wrong in terms of using his tools. He barrier blocked when he should have taken the hit, crawled when he should have up-backed/block, and try to mash when he was at a disadvantage. Tbh the match up looks really momentum based and I would like to see how effective being at super jump height is against Amane in general (I feel he is out of range). Overall the most common mistakes I see all JP Tao's make is that they get out of the chip vortex (in danger/near 0 barrier gauge) and try to rush right in and get anti aired. The best thing to do would be to just back it up till barrier regenerates and wait for a clean hit into some knockdown. Finally Amane is one of those character you can't just run up from full-screen and mash air normals expecting to get monster profit, reminds me of playing against Hazama just that Amane is stationary rather than moving around.

I actually thought that match was lost in the abyss of netplay. Good shit MetalSonic, but you you didn't MTW on reaction =/

Thank you everyone for coming to press some buttons, hope you all enjoyed the mash. Definitely will try to do this more often to give those wandering players a lobby to play in and not get kicked for dumb reasons.

Yea I doubt anyone will be on that late lol, I guess I'll just make an open lobby from now till like 10:00 pm and just invite who I see online atm. EDIT: Stream is Up http://www.twitch.tv/neogi0o0

Cross-up D Inferno divider, OD, take this damage.

It's going to be an open lobby so feel free to stop by and mash it out.

@TD and Zeth I can generally start whenever, but since so far you are the only two people I have so far I will just go by what time you decide is best.

Any batch of players looking to play some games tonight? Thinking of streaming a lobby (Preferably the eastern side of the US of A), but this game is so dead I fear no one wants to press buttons anymore ;_;.

The Battle to Become the Best XBL Hakumen

@XDest Japanese players have never really done mix up after 2B that has always been a more Western thing. They have almost always went for a frame trap with 5C and when the new gattling into 5B was given in EX they went into that in order to do a more autopilot hit-confirm. 5C only goes into 2C, 6C, AB2 and 236 and 214 series special moves in which you don't really get any good mix up options; however 5B can go into all of the above, as well as 6B and 6A and has an easier time resetting into 2A than 5C does (looks smoother IMO). @Errol I figured as much, but I wasn't sure whether it was attack level or recovery frames. Thanks for clearing that up and I guess if it does have additional recovery then we may have to stop using 2B to cross under poorly timed air normals =/

Don't worry about anything, our video thread is concise and organized. New players shouldn't just be watching the notable player video they should be watching ALL videos in order to get a better understanding of the do's and don'ts as Tao.

Wouldn't recovery frames only apply on whiff/if you choose to not gattling? The way I'm thinking is if it applies on block then there will be a slightly bigger gap in between 2B, 5B/5C which would not require IB to frame trap properly. Worst case scenario we piano 2B, 5B and just never do 2B pause into anything, again. Charge moves are terrible plus frame normals and I honestly don't even mention those breeds of shit. Crush trigger is 50/50 because Tao needs meter for other things like being a scrubby ass Valk and mashing CA and mid-screen confirms.

6b being -2 makes me a little sad because now Tao's normals are negative across the board. 2B being -10 can be good because If you gattling into 5B or 5C it should be a legit frame trap rather than you having to put an awkward delay. 2B is -4 in EX so throwing afterwards has always been ass against good/attentive players. So long as 2B never comboes into throw like 2A I'm happy (Gio Oki OS FTW). 236C is going to take some time getting use to, but being neutral makes it meh Tao high-low options in pressure strings is ass/risky, but the buffs to 5D and cat encore makes her high-low off oki worth playing her.

GG's Evee from like a day ago. Get your shit together nigga! Fucking being a little too free lately. Never forget you can do Jin combos which is what you should tell people when looking for a job.

I actually watched the Plat vs Valk vids with Mr.Unity and Masashi and real talk, the struggle is fucking real. It is almost impossible to get Platinum to stop hitting buttons and they were both fucked the minute they thought they stood a chance. @Kiba Masashi was just mashing hella hard. Like he teched in the air and just try to j.C to try and regain some momentum, but it was just not happening.

My thoughts exactly. CP needs to hurry up and come out already!

The Struggles of a Scrubby Ass Valk Just two matches where I commentate over mashed buttons and realize that I need to get more scrubby with my Valk.

Welcome! Yea I actually have never done the trick edge cross-up until you posted the inputs because every time I say I'm going to do it I just forget. As of right now I'm stuck on whether to make a video showing some of the more technical Tao stuff or if I should wait for CP because lol dead game.

Man British download is god like, but they breaking your balls on that upload. TEAM UK!
