Poultrygeist

Yo mama's so stupid she ain't even in this game. I played this one for the first time a few days ago and I was pretty lost, it feels like trying to zone him can backfire since the further away he is the easier it is for him to eat? Also from reading the Sin subforums it seems like they don't have much faith in their okizeme? I dunno, feel free to correct me.

I apologize, I probably should have. I actually started playing fighters on arcade stick and switched to pad because my PS1 stick didn't work on other systems. It was a long while ago. Every little bit helps. Thank you. EDIT: Well looks like I won't be using a converter, since those don't seem to exist on the market anymore. Not good ones anyway. I guess I'll either be getting the Hori Fight Commander 3/4 or just sticking to netplay forever.

I have a stick and I do not desire to play on it. If that was the issue I would not have created this thread to begin with. I think I might just invest in a PS2->PS3 converter. The button layout is still iffy, but at least it has triggers instead of bumpers.

My friend is telling me that the FC4 is not as good as the FC3 parts wise, how do you all feel about this?

The Saturn USB pad seems cool but quite different from the Playstation layout. The Hori FC seems like a happy medium between the two. I'll probably invest in that, thanks for the help guys.

I heard the d-pad on that was faulty. D:

Again this is just theory on my part, but could you maybe low profile his mashing, or keep him tamed with f.S?

What you're looking at is his "air stop" which is performed by inputting 8 again in the air. As it says, it stops his midair movement. From there you can hit any of 8 directions to airdash in that direction, like Dr. Doom.

Bingo. Not only this but I'm finding the DS3 bumpers to be overly sensitive, which leads to me accidentally RCing (or god forbid, entering IK mode) on accident often, so I want one with buttons on the face. This one seems pretty good. The shape seems a bit awkward though, any other alternatives?

I never considered that I was sacrificing KD with that combo, thanks for pointing that out. IYO what's a better followup to 2D, Task A'? Maybe Task C to put the seal out?

I feel like a god damn idiot. You can't block slidehead far away at all correct? You have to jump it right? I can't check ATM. I had some decent success trying to bait him into FDB or other anti zoning moves and tagging him with 3HS (or 2HS depending on positioning). Hammerfall is scary but it can easily get him into 2D territory which makes him have to play our game.

I don't have Leo yet nor have I fought him, but can't you bait his gorilla normals with Task seals and then eat him alive with 6HS and forward dash? Pure theory fighter on my part, take it with a serious grain of salt.

Some more notes -It seems like Grand Viper can slide beneath most of our zoning options. For this reason I like to do most of my Task A/Prime attempts from the air. -I had j.5D beat his 2HS. I have no idea how and I haven't been able to replicate it. -Bandit is a real bitch, it blows up backdashes and 6Ping it is HARD, assuming it works at all. Last night my opponent conditioned me to backdash away from command grab so that they could blast me with this move. I think you're gonna have to IB this one. -If your opponent is a garden variety "blockstring gatling gunflame fafnir" type of Sol, 2K takes care of Fafnir startup nicely and confirms into KD easily.

Basically as the title says I am looking for a new pad to play fighters on, for two reasons. 1.My current peripheral of choice (DualShock3) allegedly causes problems due to wireless ,even when plugged in. 2.I want all the buttons to be on the face. So I turn to you guys for suggestions on what I should purchase. I'm kinda picky about what I play on but I'll definitely look into anything you suggest.

OTG hit yes.

Here are my preferred routes, correct me if necessary. 5K/2K 5HS 2D Task B 5K/2K 5HS 2D/1D (depending on spacing) Task C 5D 8 j.5D j.5D j.5S 9 air movement j.5S Task B (maybe can do Task C for DV seal) Anti air 6P c.S Task C Corner throw c.S 5HS Task C Corner 5D slight delay 6HS Task A' 5K/2K 5HS 2D Task B

Well we're not putting you on blast, we're talking to that other dude who seems to think not having your favorite character is a "bad business practice" which is laughable.

The timing to follow up with a normal on corner throw is eating me alive lol. I end up just going for Task B instead. Anyone know what a good indicator to follow up in time is?

Excluding your favorite character is not a BS practice lol. That's gotta be one of the most childish things I've ever heard.

Please god no.

Anyone know how to do her unblockable? I'd like to mess around and see if we have a good answer for it.

Ewwww fuck no lol.

Unlike our DV seals, her grenades do not go away when you hit her, because we are not an attractive anime girl. Please remember this Holiday season that waifu privilege is a very real and dangerous thing.

You can dash through gunflame and fafnir if timed properly. As always, remember that Helios is NOT throw invul so you risk eating Wild Throw combos if you throw it out recklessly.

All I know is that when I expressed disapproval of on disc DLC in the P4U2 thread about a year ago I had a bunch of people white knighting and getting mad at me. It's at least comforting to see people on here opposing bad business practices though, in this instance I'm happy to be wrong.
