Or delay your B presses ever so slightly so you get more hitstun overall.

GGs everyone tonight.

One thing to practice with unblockable setups is ending combos with sweep. If you finish with a sweep and go into a Maragi or SB Agi, you can block wakeup attempts while your unblockable hits, and punish wakeup rolls if they happen to clear the Maragi. Building stocks is good, but not essential. It's a style thing, and certain matchups lend themselves a bit better to you charging up. After a standard combo that ends in B Agi, you have the opportunity to get 2 stocks 'basically' free unless they have wakeup fullscreen options, and sometimes even three. It's really up to you, because by doing so you surrender the wakeup pressure of pinning the opponent with fans or persona. One of the best ways to build stocks is after fullscreen Persona blockstrings. Most people like to bring their Persona back to them and avoid counterattacks by doing a Maragi, but you could just as easily do one (or even two) boosts, since Fire Boost will also pull the Persona back to Yuki. You can also fire off a C Maragi and detonate it with Fire Boost. This is great against people that like to roll and airdash a lot. I try to build stocks in the Slab matchup since she has low health, but you have to be wary of reads and j.B. It's very nice to get high stocks, because then you can turn on Fire Break anytime you have 50 meter and be a legitimate threat. Even a simple string to Agi -> Agidyne will do quite a bit of damage, which is really important in matchups where you REALLY WANT to avoid your opponent hitting Awakening (Slab really comes to mind here).

yeehaw GET HYPE edit: did i just yeehaw

Counterhit isn't required for loops that have combos starting with maragi, SB Agi or a corner All-out-attack -> D. You do need counterhit off of 4/5/6D, though.

hi Ciddypoo / Ciddypoo Yukiko Virginia

I'm getting used to it, but I don't think I'm improving at it :x

Sounds good. The slab matchup I don't even fear anymore, mostly because I've resigned myself to having everything blocked by defensive slabs, like you say. T_T I need someone like that as well, only with Kanji. I should have no business trying to be in his face all the time. >_>

GGs last night godhand, Gio, Jaguar, anyone else I missed. Netplaaaaaaaay? I don't remember it being exceptionally bad, but I'll take your word for it since I was also playing some westcoasters last night. Our sets' lag might've been overshadowed by that true coast to coast. 3;

Hey if you wanna try and figure out some anti-slab tech as Yukiko I'm all ears. I DON'T SEE IT.

ggs all. I couldn't find the mic that would fit my stick so I had to cram that ish in and only could get inbound audio and couldn't talk. ;p I'll try and find the real thing for next time.

The airdash after 5B, 4/5B into j.A? That is timing/spacing/character specific. Are you practicing it on Narukami? For those kind of combos, I find that the timing issue lies in the 5BB. I've always had to delay the second B or the spacing would be wrong (you can hear a very exaggerated delay in the combo video). You could also swap the second 5B for a 4B and work with the timing on that instead. Just takes practice.

I'm not sure what you mean by jumping back to IAD forward... Do you mean doing a jump, sideswitch, and then airdashing forward so you get the quick fall of a air backdash?

ggs all

It's always been played simultaneously, with the stream just grabbing matches as they become available. Though later in the brackets stream usually gets all of the matches.

...AND commentate? :O! That would be so boss.

So what exactly is happening tonight (or planned I mean)? Just wanna know who's playing and when, and if I can watch and ... all that stuff. :x

Hey mime, first time I've seen you on here. GGs for all the past sets we've played. I swear I'll be playing more once I'm not sick anymore. 3;

non-game related team synergy is stronger than collective skill level
