Hi all, so I am having a bit of trouble doing this combo on EL: J.D > VCL > 5K > J.S > DJ.H > S dive > 5P > c.S > sj.S > sj.H > K dive. I can't seem to get the 5P to connect because they tech out after Sdive. Any advice for this? Thank you

Just a thought I had at work today, but do you guys think we should start a critiquing thread?

I'll be using it now lol. I tried looking through 2chan for a dedicated GG character forum but didn't see anything. The link you posted is exactly what I've been trying to find though.

XXX and raised, thank you for the pointers. I'm starting to get a bit better off of hit confirms but still have a really hard time anti airing. I'm sure the more I play, the better I will get at it though so no reason to stress over it too much but I am still having to think about what button to press and as soon as I have an idea of what to do it's too late. On another note, earlier today I had the opportunity to play Marlinpie. I'm sure there's not going to be too much to say about these videos since he ran over me (especially with Millia), but any advice I can get will be appreciated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXvdb-_S_Kw (vs his Millia) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grUc1jp-KPM (vs his Zato) Thanks again

Have another video for you guys to critique if you don't mind. I feel like I am improving a bit, but this Sol was actually pretty decent. Saturday I will have to get in the lab and figure out optimal punishes for this MU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvwGYh-TwPI

http://keeponrock.in/match/search_form#content is a pretty cool site I stumbled upon last week. It allows you to search for matches uploaded to Youtube via player/character or both! Been helping me a lot when I want to get a general understanding of a match-up with May.

Thank you for the replies everyone. Had a good set the other day and I am improving a bit on my game plan in general. Going for more varied combos and am able to confirm off of stray air counter hits easier now. Even managed to get two perfects the other day so that made me happy.

That was my mistake, I meant when he jumps in the air with punches and I try to jump in beat him with jump S/HS it's not working. I can't figure out a good way to beat it. Unfortunately he couldn't play today so I will have to wait until tomorrow to get any footage vs him. However, one thing I did notice when I watched my online replay sessions is that I go for 2D into [4]6HS/S way to much (and it whiffs the majority of the time due to the blockstring I am doing). I need to start throwing out more dolphins/beach balls and work more on my neutral game with her in general. I actually got a couple of matches recorded today. One where I won and one where I lost vs an Elphelt player. Here is the link for them... even though it's really bad any type of criticism is greatly appreciated! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7vIat1Lc9w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CEgC_lwflw

Thank you for the detailed explanation Blood. I guess really the only thing I can do at this point is to just keep working on pressure, block strings, dolphin/ball setups, etc... It's very frustrating to keep losing but this is only day 3 and I shouldn't really be expecting big results within such a short period of time. Also, do you think 2HS > [2]8HS would be a good anti-air? It seems like a good option but I have to do it a bit preemptively since it's so slow.

So, how are you supposed to deal with Ramlethal as May? My friend and I are new to GG and during our sets whenever I start to gain any momentum he will keep using her target combos to stuff whatever I throw out. Same with when I try to anti air or try to meet him air to air with a S/HS, he jumps mashing punch and it counter hits me. I am getting a little flustered and have been watching match videos on what to do but I feel as though I have my back against the wall for the majority of the time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Ty for the advice man, will be sure to test everything out when I get the chance.

Pretty new to these types of games so still trying to figure out certain aspects of the game. I do have a question about the chie matchup.. It seems like her pressure is nonstop, like I really don't know what to do. Any advice on how to approach this matchup? Thanks

Ah ok, I apologize.
