Ok, thanks. So I probably don't do the S > VCL part fast enough after HCL > 6FRC6

Hi there, As a pretty recent I-no player (less than 6 months), there's something I don't get technically: how exactly do you do a fastfall VCL ? I can do HCL 6FRC6 now, but the follow-up 5S > VCL is always a non fastfall VCL and that ends my combo. Is it just a question of timing, doing the VCL very soon in the airdash, or is there something else ? Same thing with the hover dash to airdash > FF VCL. I can only get it if I do it very soon in the airdash (in fact I have to do 66 > 9632146S). And when I watch some games, it seems that I-no players manage to do FF VCL whenever they want :p Thanks for the help !

ChunkTug > I think I did that the other day (block then Fuujin to counter wakeup 6HS). I don't exactly remember if I IB the 6HS... I think I didn't. EDIT > after seeing the frame data, I think that you must IB the 6HS to counter with HS Fuujin. Here's my reasoning: With IB, your blockstun decreases from 23F to 14F (by 9F). Potemkin is at -11 with a blocked 6HS, so it's like he's at -20 if the opponent IB. HS Fuujin has 20 startup frames, so you can punish him with proper timing. Am I right ? :p (this thread is transforming into a Potemkin matchup thread, I'm sorry)

Some update after Chupon and I played against each other yesterday: + my butterfly pressure was a lot better, just by changing timings of the butterfly itself and the dash after it + I was better at "no-mashing" the buttons :p - I dropped a lot of combos : x - I didn't have a lot of variations in my pressure strings after butterfly - I misjudged some situations not paying attention enough to what was going on with Potem' Overall I felt better and the fights were closer than before, but there's a lot more to do :] (Unfortunately, we had lag on 2/3 of our battles ¬¬ The netcode is so ugly)

Fenrir > maybe I'll add you later this week-end, yes, thank you I just hope lag won't come in the way... Dream > woah, thank you a lot for all of these tips. I'll try to do my best ! :D By the way, Chupon and I will probably be in Japan by the end of June, and we plan to spend our last trip day in Osaka. So, if you're still there...

I'm having a LOT of troubles against Potemkin XD As I said before, the friend I play against played this game (and the GG series) for many years, so he has more knowledge and reacts quickly at my moves. I learned to play fighting games on Street Fighter, which is slower and doesn't have all the Arcsys properties like airdash/airguard, burst, IB and all the stuff. I still have to get used to that. But I'm not against some advice, obviously :p What I know this far: - stay outside PB range (duh), - don't airdash towards him like stupid because he'll 6P CH me, - don't throw a butterfly if he has time to react cause he will do his FDB, - find a manner to knock him down then throw some (good) shitsu pressure (don't hesitate to use 5P a lot). And find a way to not be hit by a 6H as I wake up :x (yeah, I know, this is stupid, but I keep eating them sometimes) Other thoughts ? (and thanks for your time)

Hmmm, you're right, I almost only watched Anji vs Potemkin matchups (my friend mains Potemkin), this is the reason why.

Thanks a lot for your help ! Looks like I need some work in training mode today I just watched some videos, and saw a lot of Anji players going for 5P to begin their shitsu pressure. Is there a particular reason to that ? (just curiosity because I don't see any 5P in the examples above)

Hi guys, I'm a relatively new player at this game, I play Anji and I'm having a hard time dealing a proper Butterfly pressure. I usually play against a friend who played #R online and AC for several years. Every time I knock him down and throw a shitsu, it seems that he escapes easily and I can't apply pressure at all. In fact: - he IB the first hit and backdashes, - he IB the first hit and hit my Anji approaching like a dumb for pressure, - he IB the first hit, jumps and guards the following hits while airborne (especially with FB shitsu). So, how can I put some pressure on him, or making him standing still ? :] Is the first hit of the Butterfly always IBlockable ? (I think yes, but maybe I have some timing issues) And if I manage to apply that pressure, what are the main patterns I can use ? (when playing the CPU, I mix between a 2K/2S, a 3P and a crossup j.H) Thank you !
