4Corners

Excellent. Hey, has anyone else noticed a MASSIVE momentum boost when doing 236p from a dash? Like, he rockets, or seems to, to me. I'll have a buncha matches of me and some friends up. Didn't get any matches against the really good CO players, but these should work enough to help me learn how to play. At least v the Baiken and Slayer. Look for a thread with them in the next couple days.

Ohsnaps. It's actually a really good idea. 3-7 orbs, for 25% tension? Nice.

Does anyone else find Phrekwenci caring about orbs ironic? For 25% tension, you're that much closer to unsummoning Raoh!

Odd, CO seems to think that Faust does well against Slayer, since he can zone him all day long. Why would Millia be bad for him?

Hey, vs Zappa, keep in mind that he naturally ducks under fS, can run under the scalpel pull/other command throw, and generally runs under everything ever, even bag throw. If he even THINKS of trying to mix you up, do your stupid 2k. It'll hit him whether he's behind you, in front, whatever. Auto-turnarounds, hits when it doesn't... That move is too good v Zappa. Who is Faust's worst match-up, btw? My friend plays Faust, but since I play Zappa, I kind of duck under everything ever, so he doesn't use moves he should v every other character. I want to play whoever gives him a hard time to help him improve faster. Unless it's Eddie/I-No/someone who takes equal dedication. I still main Zappa, and he takes a LOT of time to practice as is. Still, anything to help him improve. I figure if he can beast his worse match-ups, he won't have to worry too much. :D

I can't do the 6hs, [236s>k (dash in) 6hs] loop, for some reason. I always mess up on the 6hs. I dunno if I'm dashing too early, hitting too late, or what. I normally just stick with something like knockdown 236s>k, jS, jH, 214s, then RC if I can, follow, 214s spam. jHS, (land) jP, jS, jHS, (land) SJ jk, jS, jHS, 214S has got to be my favourite combo right now, though.

I'm still having problems doing the Raou loop. Wut's wrong with me?

Kk. I'll go thru youtube later this week and post any interesting videos I find. :D

Sad times. One of Colorado's best plays both of them, and raped me HARD last night. Imma run to the match-up boards in a sec and start a HOS thread. D: Any good vids v Testament?

So, I get raped by HOS, Sol, and Dizzy. Especially HOS. Any good videos on how to play against them, or something? Shonen v Abe. Match-up does not look like good times for Zapps. D: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH-cpZSiTWk

j.K has good range, and can beat Faust's j.2k, if you know what you're doing. Dunno what to do after the CH, though.

Oh, hey, that makes a LOT more sense. I'll practice this up later, then. Thanks!

I still can't quite wrap my mind around JI, or how it even works. Like, it just confuses the hell outta me. I like Zappa on stick more because the pad feels too congested for my tastes. Especially when I have the dog. It's all mental, really.

Good to know. Zappa is WAAAAAAAAAY easier to play on stick, in my opinion. Especially the dog.

Wait, do you not have to FRC on CH with the DP? Wtf?

I've almost finished compiling the combos from the Zappa tutorials. Some of them are going to be inaccurate, either due to my still somewhat limited technical prowess, or just not understanding how they work. All the same, there are some damn good combos in there.

I don't see a link to the video. Am I just blind? D: EDIT: Tight, thanks.

EDIT: Wtf, triple-post?

Once again, Oiboi, you make my life so much better than I thought possible. Any good loop aside from the standard one? Also, 5hs>2D is nasty as hell in the corner. If they have no upper/tension/burst, ggs, srsly.

That last thing was what I was talking about. I have trouble doing it, though, because I keep JCing the 2HS. Tips?

lmfao, I wasn't that kid. I couldn't hadoken to save my life back in the day. I was all about the charge moves. Gogo Sonic Boom and Psycho everything.

Any really damaging or flashy loop you can suggest? I got the 2k cs fs down in like... 2 minutes, and I'm looking to expand my horizons. I really like the unblockable instant Raoh corner set-up, but it seems impractical, and is really hard for me to do right now.

So, I'm having a lot of trouble doing the Dog corner loop. 6p/5k, c/fS, 2S, 5D, 2HS, 2k, 66, 5k etc ends up ending either on the second 5k, or right after, somewhere around the fS/2HS. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I actually got it during a match against a Slayer. Too good.
