Master Chibi

Eight months later I still can't do this bitch's 'proper' BnB. So I'm not going to. Ah well.

Fantastic. Makes playing against Potemkin all that more enjoyable lol

Thanks! Is there an explanation of what each item does anywhere? haha In case there's additional side effects :P

So what does Helium actually do, outside of make the voices higher pitched? Is that all it does? lol

God you can do her combo on pad and I still can't do it on stick. I need some serious help. I'm stagnating because I love playing her as Guile but my damage output is garbage because I can't do her 'normal' bnb involving two bombs. Someone throw in a j.C during the first delay j.b delay dive kick and see how much less damage it does for me please vs the normal one. Or give me some tips, I am legit struggling.

What do you guys versus Merkava and Gordeau? Gordeau is a bit easier to deal with but Merkava's mobility messes me up something fierce. Too many moments in the match where I'm looking at what happened and going 'WHY THE HELL DOES THAT WORK FOR HIM' lol

lol if Carmine zones you he'll literally kill himself and Hilda loses to Vatista imo. I mean technically Carmine is the better zoner but if that's all he's doing I'll win by actually doing nothing. I think you guys are underplaying her zoning game alot. I mean ALOT.

I zone in every match up until I find I can't zone them, then I just pick away at things until it all clicks. I mean she's loli guile, zoning is most definitely not a distraction with her, it's the main attraction lol

I literally can NOT (and I mean this) get down the timing for j.B and then the dive kick. I just can't. It's crucial that I do because the rest of her stuff hinders on it but when do you start charging for the dive kick? After the 5C? During the 5C? How late do you delay the j.B AND the dive kick? It's killing me lol

Man this character is goign to take me a while to get used to but I love learning her neutral / doing my own thing for it. Truthfully her combos are the most boring part about her (and most bothersome). Still can't do one bomb combos yet, oh well. What's basic stuff I should be learning though? Like- Normal bnb - Bnb off of bomb - 5a anti air bnb - Bnb off of [8]2a mix up landing - bnb off of [8]2b landing - I mean that's it atm for me. You guys learn stuff / get it down pat so fast lol

I'd rather just learn it and get it over with. The execution / learning a BnB should be the easiest thing to get out of the way when learning a character but here it's the most difficult. Having played Guile in most every SF game and characters akin to the other stuff Vatista can do her neutral and such are kinda coming natural to me, as are the charge motions. Fastest I've ever gotten for a charge is 43 I think. Or 49. Something of that sort. It's just the principle of the matter in that the execution necessary to play her at a base level is weird and difficult. Charging forward back or up down are not normal and negative edging button presses for actual use in combos is also unconventional. It's kinda saying 'you can't actually play this character / be good until you can do A/B/C' instead of 'we'll make A/B/C the easy part and learning to play / fight with her is what will actually make you good' lol

Nah I'm not afraid I am just REALLY against it because of it being an execution barrier. I'm getting it down slowly and it'll be muscle memory soon enough but it's an awful thing to throw at someone as they've started to get into playing imo :P

I know time and practice will leave me with the muscle memory I need to play this character but like that's not something you should be giving a player as an obstacle when they play lol. Thank you for the combo and notation, I'm really bad when figuring this stuff out haha!

This character's execution requirements for bread and butters is rather up there, and imo it really shouldn't be. It's kinda bad game design. Regardless I'm just looking for a universal BnB now and my execution is god awful, WHICH IS WHY I TEND TO PICK CHARGE CHARACTERS THO. The irony. The charge motions are piss easy for me, it's all the otg bomb otg nonsense that's making my head hurt.

Also does anyone have any tips on nailing the timing for the bombs during combos? It's about the last wall I need to climb over before I can really be comfortable playing this character.
