Dopples

Oh, I was confused, sorry. I thought you wanted the brackets everyone was in whoops :x

Bleed in pool B129 plays Margaret, according to the footage RSquared found.

I'm gonna bring my PS3 anyways, so I'll have a set up for BB, UNiEL, and DFC.

Hey, it makes them pay attention to one more thing. Anything that adds to how you can scare you opponent is a good thing, even if it's got a niche use. Plus, you don't have to use it, even if the bar does fill up. You can easily just cancel it out with another button press. Like, say...5C. And if they're waiting for Mediarama to come out, you get free pressure.

Hey look ma, I optimized an easy-ish BnB that does 4.1k meterless off of normal hit 2B. Seems purdy good, considering that's his best low. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUhKCcfJvuQ&feature=youtu.be

So, I have a probably dumb question, but what exactly do I have to stop Akihiko from running his game (My characters being Ken and Margaret, thought I'm not expecting to be able to understand how to use Margaret in most MUs anytime soon)? I understand that you have to essentially just outplay him in neutral since he has trouble with most characters with range (Ken being one of those), but these kinds of characters just always seem to get in, or whiff punish me perfectly, then I'm stuck just blocking forever against pressure because, hey. It's either I eat a 5B FC combo for a crap ton of damage...or I just eat like, 4-5k off of anything else. So, I guess my question is, what holes do I look for when on defense against this character?

Good to know. Still seems like a decent-ish pressure tool all the same.

Played a bunch of casuals with her last night at TRB. Thoughts: j.5B is a good spacing tool for quickly punishing attempts at zoning. 2B is good, but it seems super easy to mistime. Not that whiffing 2B is absolutely terrible, since you can still go into j.5C after wards. Mixing up j.5D and j. 2D on pressure created some interesting results. Both fireballs seemed safe, and j.2D in particular seemed good for stuffing zoning attempts. 5A>either 2A or AoA works as of now as a dumb mix up lol. Probably won't after the first week is over though. Conversions are hard :c 236C is super good in neutral. Her air DP isn't that great, since the range is garbage. Still, it's fast, and it can be used to hang in the air briefly if you need to. Speaking of, Margaret's ability to stall in the air seems really good. j.2C>j.2D>DP keeps you up there for a loooong time. j.2B seems safe? I might be wrong though. Instant overhead j.236C seems to be a thing. Have to confirm though. j.A is fast, but it's range is garbage. Sweep is really good against Aigis and Yukiko. The range on 236236A/B is surprisingly good/it's actually pretty fast. Might be her go-to wake up super? Her Persona-based command grabs are sick. They seem hard to beat out cleanly. j.5C da gawd. Will post more stuff later.

I'm having issues getting the 2B after 214C. Any tips, or do I just need to get the timing down?

So what are you guys generally doing for midscreen combos off of anything besides 2C?

Hrm, I see. So use the 2C to make them respect 236A instead of just 5B>236A. I like it.

Your conversions were solid enough, despite the drops. One thing I noted though is that you did a lot of 2C in your pressure, which while good, doesn't cover the massive gap before 236A/B that can be rolled pretty safely. It's fine for now when people don't know about it, but it might be smart to also consider using 236C/D more, as well as 214C/D if they like to IAD over it on start up. Edit: On that note, I suppose you could also delay 2C slightly to catch rolls, but it seems like it'd require somewhat weird timing? Plus, conversions off of 236C/D are easier, so....

It should be noted that this works in the corner still. Just not midscreen :o

Probably has something to do with when the Ken player hit 5D during the hit that KO'd Koromaru. At least, that's what I'd guess :s lol
