Senkei

yeah i did not know that when i went into the match, that was my first time fighting a good baiken period and Sean happened to be amazing i know the match up way better now since you play baiken completely different from everyone else he was the only person at final round i played that consistently beat the crap outta me so it was kinda fitting that he put me into losers..... every other match i pretty much knew im going to try and see if i can somehow find the matches i had between Robot(So) and rudy(Za) those were really good...esp. Robot

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1dZOnZmx6s and here is the vid other matches will be up later

im sorry about that im getting it uploaded to my youtube account which i will be posting every single Faust vid i have on my comp so i should be the place to look at for R.F vids since i have all of his since early last year

hope the link works... you need VLC to watch it and the vid is a little shaky Senkei(Fa) vs _SH(Ba) FRXI tournament match vid http://www.circuitspark.com/videos/FRXI%20Faust%20vs.%20Baiken.zip

good shit coming back sean baiken is lookin nice

WTF Was that bit loop even feasible??? the damage seemed kinda retarded this guy is insane i've never seen a player who just did not give a shit......what so ever... and just comes out of no were to kill

slashback exe beast FTW it works i've done it a few times....esp. when the do 6k to fwd exe beast....and repeat over and over again oh and yggdrasill i made a little tips and tricks post on zappa ..... he's really not that hard at all this was like from almost a year ago but it still pretty much is the guidlines tips against zappa - your basic idea agaisnt zappa is to keep his orbs to a minimum and zone him out -****2p really works agaisnt zappa's summons and rushdowns...***Faust's best weapon against zappa****** -5k also helps out when it comes to him coming in from the air (and 6p) -2HS works great as a good poke and keeps zappa way -Far slash isn't that great agaisnt regular zappa since he is so low to the ground so make sure you don't use this until he either has the sword or ghost summoned -41236k isn't that great ether since zappa can run under it so using it in your zoning when he's trying to rush down isn't smart. *- very important -* do not exchange hits with zappa when he does his summons the more hits he gets from it regardless if you stopped the summon he gets orbs...3 a pop and that only means one thing...the closer the time is for blue man to come out *Raou* )-Ghosts-( -prob the most difficult thing to deal with next to raou - make sure to throw out items in during the holes of his strings - zappa is going to try from a medium to long range distance to shoot out ghosts since Faust's 2p is so deadly to zappa when he's close. so in order to counter this you need to start making him guess....use 214k and 214s and when he tries to predict do 214p just to screw around with him and let him know you can get to him and he can't just stand there and shoot ghosts all day....(*learning the frc's to these really helps and i insist on doing so since it takes away the option of getting hit*) -Far slash is really great at medium range if zappa tries any bouncing ghosts or air ghosts from that range so use this to keep those pesty ghosts away. -when the ghosts items are out you really have to pay attention since the banana peel is a low and the flower pot hover right over your head....the pebble is bad also since it covers the ground and any tiny jumps so make sure to block and react accordingly to avoid these things. )-Dog-( - Get in the air as mush as possible and throw exploding bags....makes sure you stay out of this things range because it can lead you into some nasty corner pressure and 2-3 unblockable setups. - when its hard to stay in the air which it is sometimes, wait for and opening and sneak in a 2p -also a very important tip...i know to some players this is obvious but after the dog attacks he has a period of time were it can be destroyed...he can also be killed when he starts sleeping and turns little...so make sure if a zappa player misses an attack with the dog make him pay for it and take it away... -2s is also a very good weapon agaisnt the dog because of it range and priority so if you see the dog trying to move it make it pay with a 2S or 2HS )-Sword-( -this is a very deceiving weapon of zappa's since it can change directions and can go from a high to a low very quickly....it also has a DP capibilty which can be very effective agaisnt your jump in's so be weary of the swords range and capability. - farslash really helps out agaisnt zappa in this mode because when doing moves with the sword his body moves to more of a standing position so his hitbox is a much better target than it was before . - i forget the name of the move but when zappa moves in with the sword and then sends it past your body you do have a chance to attack depending on three things 1.P-guard or instant block...this allows you to attack or jump out of this move since it has mix-up capabilities 2.slashback- it does the same thing as #1 but more risk invovled 3.5Dust....this is only for when he does this move too close...since the invicliblilty goes through the first part of the move and completly sends him up into the air for good damage and the loss of a summon. )-RAOU-( - block for god sakes block...you are not going to beat out RAOU he's wayyyyy too powerful...no risk is really worth it at all since the amount of damage you can deal compared to his is not even close. - try to keep your distance and score in some pokes and knockdowns and items really help out so be careful your not caught being retarded because you will eat some powerful attack in the face. - your best tactic against him is blocking you ass off and waiting for that scary fucker to go away.....oh yeah and don't be too scared also into completely blocking...if the zappa player is smart and realizes he can't mix you up with any high or lows...he just gonna run in and throw ya....this can't happen or you can kiss your life goodbye all in all i play against an excellent zappa player all the time and at first this match-up really annoyed me but now i am alot more comfortable with it and im not so confused when all these things that aren't mine are flying everywhere

i've seen a few and faust usually loses that matchup vs chipp millia not so much because when i watch it RF kinda dominates also from the vid RF looked like he was playing scared there he didn't use any useful j2k except for once and that put him into the advantage/plus he made a few costly mistakes......and with shounen you cannot do that

regarding Makoinfused... even tho he lives in FL now he's from Chi-town this is also the guy that took out blacksnake and juice but i forgot you didn't go to final round him and malice have been friends for awhile and he basically taught mako how to play i share the same frustrations with you but on the end with just his slayer now moving on to testement i went to MD and i played jamie.....jamie's teste is good and you can tell the matchup exp and tricks paid off but it wasn't impossible ...then again i have gotten alot better with that match up since then and i couldn't play jamie as much as i wanted but yeah i get what your saying a little bit but i will say i never have a problem with landing j2k over fwd exe beast tho Anakron: 5k does beat out badlands if timed properly

if you play against a slayer who knows what he is doing against faust then you are in trouble.. i don't think i've seen a slayer in the US who knows how to deal with Faust except for Mak0infused He dandy's through 2hs and 5s..... big bang uppers through them also .... it's just frustrating all around the board any other slayers i've played aren't really hard now teste is hard but not that difficult...def not Faust's worst match up j:d: is your friend(esp agaisnt forward exe beast) just learn how to predict it :h:get's raped by , , j:d: and j:d: traps aren't that bad since Faust's range takes care of them and dashing in an doing air pogo is great....but watch what your doing with the pressure because teste can warrant the pogo pressure(so bait it for free damage) and also do some other things,but you are faster in this match up and can do more immediate damage:drool: just watch the Faust king http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK00-0Mw-2M he doesn't fight till last but he shows you who knows the match up and who doesn't

6 Respect is the only taunt you should use... you can cancel it into any ground normal and command move faust has

put me in the Faust slot i guess i can come up with somthing

it also build's guard bar like crazy

yeah had a huge problem with my 2/6switchs on my HRAP....i couldn't block on the right side (while i was playing tourney matches at final round) supposedly they were running at like half speed...every once and awhile it would start working again but i actually fixed it last night, i have a ps3HRAP and just switched that shit out......now it works like a charm

2k-item-214hs is still my fav

No the vid im talkin about is a AC 2v2 vid with RF beating PC(so) & Efute(Ma)

Sol is actually not to bad 5-5. His air game is really good so trying to fuck with him air to air is not good. 1.Anti-airing this can be tricky at times since his air dash is pretty fast, so time the AntiAir's correctly Suggested AA's : 2k,5k,6p this next part is very important and will take a lot of options away from sol...when i was at Final Round i beat 2 very strong sol players(yooyoung,Robot) because of this tactic 2.Ducking/dodging a.Dodging on the very last hit of grand viper (if mashed accordingly by the sol player) you can dust the very last hit. (also a lot of sol player's like to RC the last hit to make it safe on block,this will completely own it.) b.Ducking: you can duck under and punish his...:Bandit Bringer, Bandit Revolver, and Riot Stomp. you can also avoid some of his air moves esp. if he wants to start his wakeup pressure from the air. if he's too high in the air (which he might be because he's expecting you to block high) you can duck under that shit and grab or punish the hell outta him. 3.Zoning if i ever get the chance to do this i will post a vid of RF vs PC in accent core and he will give you an amazing outlook on how to defend against sol's rush in from the ground Items: every float item is your friend(L.Faust,L.Robo) they lock down the air so he's either going to stay there or come in from the ground Poison's are okay but watch yourself he can grand viper under them Potemkin: he's always the shit but can sometimes be easily avoided if thrown in a bad area...STAY BY HIM!! Bombs: good also but sol can easily get the hell away from them so pay attention to were he is going. If he super jumps straight up -214s- if he jumps and dashes at you superjump back and 236p(BombBag) Hammer/Tarai: good item to stop his surface to air progression Meteor's:be careful with these cause he might try and get cocky and ether throw,wild throw, or viper. Physical zoning:Rush from the Ground: 2p then do 2hs...this is great, you will get a great amount of counter hit's from this method and it will def slow his rush in for sure so you can relax and get more items out and try to move in i'd do more but i'm at class right now...sorry if it's sloppy

wow wish i could of made it my wonders is how all these bastards travel to completely different locations within a week somebody has to have a swiss bank account

and he will never beat Ruu fucking turtling bitch

sorry to add this in but if if you see your opponent jump straight up 214s owns

Anji: butterfly, (low poke) Zappa: straight line ghost (just to avoid) Sol: Bandit bringer(^)/revolver(^)/Riot Stomp(crouch forward)(214HS)

Nerina = awesome
