I have been trying to learn the fuzzy overhead setup from this video but I've been having problems with it. From what I understand the blockstun from the J2S should stop them from being able to crouch straight away after blocking the IAD JK, J2HS which allows for the fuzzy JK. I have managed to get it to work a few times however most of the time I end up with these two outcomes 1) They are able to crouch before the second JK. 2) They are hit by the second JK but it will not combo into the HS sword. Could anyone help me learn how to do this setup consistently? Also is the Ramlethal Discord group still active? I have some more questions about her I'd like to ask. Thanks

A new UK Narukami!!! I'm not that good with Yu but I'll take a look at your matches too and give some feedback when I get a chance. Also if you want to play some matches and/or train on PSN let me know.

Thanks for the input Bloo. I've taken the advice you gave and tried to apply it to my game. After stopping myself from auto piloting to 5D in pressure I find that I can keep people locked in pressure for longer and I don't get hit as much . I do have a question about 5D though. When should I be using it? Is it mainly used as an Oki tool like it was in the first game or does it have a place in pressure too. I'm still trying to resist the temptation of DP lol. I'm considering maybe banning myself from using DP for awhile in order to improve my blocking.

I have some matches I'd like critiqued if possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNVp0gqmjnM I think I've been developing some bad habits with my pressure and I also feel like my neutral is poor. Feel free to be as harsh as you want and any help/advice would be appreciated. ^_^

Hi! I'd love to have more people to play against. My PSN is ScopeyDo. I'm usually online around 5PM till 11PM GMT + 1 Sunday - Thursday. Also is the Skype group still active? I'd also like to join it if possible.

These are some of the block strings I use both mid-screen and in the corner For reference [x] means hold and ]x[ means release 2A, 2B, 5B, 2C, 5C, [4]6A/B You'll want to start to hold back as you press 2A so it's technically 1A, 1B, 4B, 1C, 4C This is pretty decent as the A Orb will allow you to reset pressure or back away depending on the situation. The B orb will keep you safe after the pressure at the cost of outright ending it. Depending on the character you're fighting you'll want to do [4]6B over [4]6A. For example at some ranges Gord can use 3C to slide under the orb and get a combo. The characters I know you should use the B version on are Gord, Eltnum and Byakuya. (I don't get to play other characters very often so that's all I know) If you find that you hit from 2A, 2B or 5B you can then do: (2A, 2B, 5B,) 2C, 5C, j, jC, [8]2A, 2C, 2]B[ for an easy combo and the option to restart pressure by popping the gem. If you hit them with 2C a lot more options are open to you depending on how confident you are. Some examples: 2C, 5C, J, JC, [8]2A, 2C, 2]B[ (Easy) 2C, 5C, JA, J, [8]2A, 2[C], 2]B[, 2A, 2B, 2]C[, J, JC, [8]2A, 2]B[ (Medium) 2C, 5C, JA, J, [8]2A, 2[C], 2]B[, 2A, 2B, 2]C[, 2B, [2]8B/C (Medium) 2C, 5C, JA, J, [8]2A, 2[C], 2]B[, 2A, [6]4A, 2]C[, J, JC, [8]2A, 2]B[ (Harder) 2C, 5C, JA, J, [8]2A, 2[C], 2]B[, 2A, [6]4A, 2]C[, 2B, [2[8B/C (Harder) If you're in the corner you can also do these two additional combos 2C, 5C, JA, J, [8]2A, 2[C], 2]B[, 2A, 2B, 2]C[, jump and hold up and as you touch the floor either 2C, [8]2B or grab. This set up is nice as it doesn't allow your opponent to punish [8]2B if it's blocked. 2C, 5C, JA, J, [8]2A, 2[C], 2]B[, 2[A], 2, 2]C[(as the gem is leaving re-hold C), back dash, 2]A[ This setup allows you to do Gem pressure which can be quite nice if the opponent doesn't know how to react to it Gem pressure is done like so: 2]A[, 5A, 2]B[(as the gem is leaving re-hold B), 5A, 2]C[(as the gem is leaving re-hold C), 5A, 2]B[ repeat as needed. The other Pressure I use is 2A, 2A, 2[A], 2B, 5C, 2C, 2]A[ You can then pop the gem with 5A or 2B and it will beat a lot of 2A/5A mashes. If they continue to block your options are: Continue to pressure, use rising 9A to pop the gem and then a falling 9A to hit the opponent after which you can choose to do a [8]2B for a overhead or 2C for a low, run up grab (Not too often) or back dash away. There are other options as well so you can experiment and find more. This set up outright beats Gord's 3C if you pop the gem but loses to Bayakuya's 2B and I think Eltnum's 2C beats it as well. (Probably other characters can beat it but I don't know which :P) Against characters that can hit you as you pop the gem it's best to pause for a moment while crouch blocking to see if they do anything before using 5A/2B to set off the gem. Honestly I don't know if these block strings are actually good or not. They're just what I've been using. Also sorry for any inaccuracies.

Does anybody know of any nice combos off B-Drill mid-screen? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OylKktS6jbo This is the best I have so far.

Thanks for the responses. I've told him everything both of you said so hopefully he'll start working on everything soon. In regards to videos of Terumi, are there any particular players he should be watching or will any decent level Terumi do?

Hi. My friend would like his Terumi critiqued if possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogPf-bpcc1Q Any help would be appreciated and passed on.

Thanks a lot! I'll try and make a conscious effort to improve on the things you said. Would you advise just not using 4D at all for awhile and force myself to block more?

Hi, I have some gameplay I'd like critiqued if possible. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66KOeeTwBHE 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbgCGBa6wF8&feature=youtu.be My main concern is; have I formed any bad habits? I feel like I rely too much on 4D. Also I've been told by a more experienced player that my movement is poor. Any help and advice will be much appreciated. Thanks
