Yeah, Tera's combat is pretty fun at least. I haven't played FFXI in so long I forget what goes on in that game haha.

I saw that and I was like...WTF! edit: On a side note I got into the Tera cb, and it's pretty fun playing as a K-pop singer.

Okay I think I get it. I was thinking that when Lambda did 236D he'd block the first few hits and then dodge and since 236C has the perfect amount of frames to take advantage of it she could beat it out that way. But if he phases through it entirely it's basically like a whiffed attack. So for this match up do you just want to rushdown then? Seems like the easiest way to win if he lacks a real DP.

Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do.

So what if you do an air BnB and end it with Calamity Sword? When you land you do 236D on him and he techs and does that dodge thing. Can you punish with 236C in that situation? Because I think by the time he techs to do the dodge Lambda will have recovered enough to follow up with 236C. I really don't know how the dodge works so I'm curious about these things.

Severin vs TheBiter - Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Xie vs Severin - Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Mirrors for Xie's above post. edit: Part 3 of Xie vs Sev was a dupe, so give me some time to re-upload it again. edit: Part 3 should be working now.

Severin vs TheBiter - Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Xie vs Severin - Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 I just mirrored the matches Xie posted earlier. He has a few more of Sev coming, so I'll mirror those too if I can. edit: fixed an error with xie vs sev video.

Hmm, so if you do 236D~C to say corner him and he does that dodge thing, can you simply do 236C right after for the CH?

I wouldn't mind mirroring Severin's vids and posting them in the Lambda video forums.

Does Relius have a DP or a 50 heat DP? Does his dodge count as DP?

6D makes Hakumen sadlife. 5D makes Tager sad because it prevents sledge. Timed right, it'll CH into 236C and he eats 4k. But 6D is also another thing to make Tager sad, which I shall use more often. edit: @toan, true enough. It's like high risk poker. I probably wouldn't have as much fun with Lambda if she did not have such an easy to exploit weakness. Some fun match ups are ones like Makoto and Noel, because those matchups feel like the hit-or-miss kind of deals. Either you keep them out or you die. Oddly enough, Makoto is probably my best matchup followed by Jin.

That's kinda like saying "Put a quarter in the machine and try again next time." I just don't like that mentality of "If you miss one sword you die immediately." It's rather easy to guess what a Lambda can do when she's in a corner, which is jump and hope the person doesn't do anything resembling an attack. On the other end, Lambda does have to effectively guess between three options of an opponent's attack. So the pros don't necessarily equate to the cons. I mean honestly, if Lambda ever becomes S-tier, it'll be because they gave her defensive options and left everything else the same. /endrant All natural sea salt aside, she's fairly good at the zoning. I literally almost got a perfect match on a Valk earlier because he couldn't get in. It was like magic. Then a Ragna just did 66, dash, j.C defeats everythingowaindownaia, and I died. I think I'm just going to go cry in a corner and spam 5D on a Tager somewhere :D

Well, I could play me some CT Nu. It isn't as fun because it's so easy. I really don't know how I played the first Lambda though.

I played 1.00 Lambda today. Probably the least fun moment of my life.

I think it might be a variation of the Elo rating system, however the PSR values may have hidden numbers behind them so you're always gaining or losing points behind the three-digit int figures.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3NmjEu0qdY Kind of like that. The joke is funnier if you've played Phoenix Wright :D

For some reason I thought AB2 boosted Tao's speed to near Super Saiyan level because she uses the slipstream of the afterimage to accelerate her displacement in time, solve for x.

Kind of like a Bang doing FRKZ and then the other Bang does it as well because the other Bang did it.

Sounds a lot like my experiences. Though I did manage to go from 168 to 186 in a week. My win ratio had to be like 95% to make that happen. It's bananas man. My goal of 200 PSR probably won't happen with this dorm net kicking me down. I hear it's easy to get 200 PSR in Extend, so maybe I'll get some brownie points for my pride that way.

Bro. You had me at "Anyone."

When is the best time to use gravity? I normally use it with 3C mixup or throw. Are there better uses for it?

Do you mean Pisces's cousin that married Dark's cousin?

Well, I pretty much justified that it was either lag or salt. The lag wasn't bad as my later games, the only thing it prevented was that astral I attempted to do, about it. Anyways no hard feelings. @Haven, yeah I was essentially apologizing to as many people as I could about my baddie lag. I probably won't play much until like March, but the urges to play are quite overwhelming at times :D. @toan, the match up is like that yes. I try not to be that way, but it's rather easy to pick an Arakune a part. Kind of like how Tao, Haz, Bang, and Valk pick Lambda a part. Even trade I guess. Anyways Toan, if you're up for some mirror matches, the weekend is the best for me, less likely to be influenced by dorm net since everyone departs (usually). All of that aside, GGs to the people I played today. I actually got a stable connection for a good few hours. BGs to Oreowolf and KiddxKhaos, the latter of which sent me a very angry voice mail because I *ahem* zoned... I need to find like a place where Lambda is a rushdown character in like bizarro world or something. Don't get me wrong, I do things like sickle storm oki, shenanigans, a bunch of spacing crap, but if I do 44 once, people get mad.

Yeah, I more or less placed those combos up there as some examples I was working on earlier today, and I wasn't sure exactly which one would be the optimal combo if I was in a controlled situation for instance. Though from GC the combos would be impossible because the counter hit is needed. That aside it was just something I was curious about because people kept telling me my combos weren't optimal so I wanted to understand the particulars of it. Sacrificing damage for positioning seems like an ideal way to think about it.

Well, if you want to get good at something like this, you gotta play good people and get your ass kicked. I can probably attribute my skill level because of that as can most people. But honestly, if a person is legit good and they host a room without the [Expert] tag, then you should be allowed in. Maybe even drop them a message letting them know you want to learn how to play or some such. Whenever I make a room, anyone can join, provided that the latency is good on my end. I'm fairly certain my Lambda has been getting better so you'll gain valuable match-up experience as well, since I play similar to most other Lambdas. @Nem, it happens. I wasn't sure if he was or not since there was only slight lag. But well, I'm fairly certain Arakunes hate anything that can move.
