I might do this if I am available. Would give me 2 weeks to learn extend, so maybbbbbe? Maybe see you there new york. Maybe...

Okay, lets talk gimmicks. Particularly throw gimmicks. Is there any merit to learning a forced tech throw setup? Was goofing off in training mode when I found out. With regular pan, regular hit, on the ground: 5a x3, 5d, 5a x3, 5d, 5a (forced tech right here, 100% of the time) Throw right away is always green throw. Granted this is a really bad bad bad example, but with Plat, is there useful combos that you ride all the way until the forced tech point, and keep yourself in range for a throw? Big part of what I like about Plat is the gimmicks.... and something like this seems fun. Also, be nice if this is obvious something you all do already. Thanks in advance!

double post

Fun shit tonight. My plat is gonna get there. My Melty will not. Haha Chris, a phone charger got left at my place. Yours/your friends? ------ Anyone looking to do anything the weekend after CSE usa release? Ril meebee? Ill drive for you ^^ ------ Estimate of next gathering at my place: a weekend in early march. Ill post when i get a real date. Post Suggestions Plx!

That....... that just might........ It might just be an improvement to the original!

o.O Its no Rachel.... but....

That was more of a 'proving my point' than a question, but thanks for the heads up! I bet there's some really sweet shit off 6c fatal......

Nah your fine man. I always thought Plat Super-Mallet-Hammer was... in the air? slidehead or big damage or roflprimersrofl on the ground? hilarious (and roflprimersrofl) I need to actually learn everything about my characters, not just the shit I like haha. Like I don't know what her FC moves are yet (didnt get to training mode FC combos yet.... so yea) So, yes, that is me staying free. Your advice is good!

Simple! ......didnt know the ground one did...... <--- staying free

ALAN HEY ALAN http://www.mangahere.com/manga/cross_days/ HEY BBQ http://www.mangahere.com/manga/cross_days/ HEY ANIME IN JERSEY http://www.mangahere.com/manga/cross_days/ HEY YO HEY BEEN HAD ALTERNATE STORIES http://www.mangahere.com/manga/cross_days/ http://www.mangahere.com/manga/cross_days/ BEEN HAD SADLIFE :D That shit just happened.

OH! The air version? He wrote 5D so I thought the ground. That makes a lot more sense then.

seems, but are you fishing for fatal with pogo at THAT range? haha.

Been at work since 8, was on bb until like.... 5? then just stayed up reading internet shit and eating breakfast. I support chaos's point of view.

Yea, I just don't like having items if I dont know a decent combo for them. Dont ask, Im kinda weirda like that. Bat is an exception because its the fucking bat! And that changes in extend anyway :D.

Ahhh weird and oddly specific, but noted. Thanks. (Still hate bombs, cant wait till its 3 so I can just get rid of them faster)

How is that setup (bomb into super hammer) unblockable? Because it destroys primer? I dont get it?

Been having a lot of fun with Plat, and getting a feeling for basic combos (just corner carry shit mid screen, and like 3-4k in the corner, based on meter/item). Realizing that I use a LOT of 5a/2a in my blockstrings, but they seem safe enough if im not fishing for a money counterhit or something. In terms of mixup, been doing 236a with no followup to cross up midscreen, tk swallow moon in j.b stuff, ioh j.d with the fan, and just tick into throw/command throw. is there anything else i am missing mixup wise? Also... is there any combos that are worth using the bomb for? Right now (in cs2) i am dreading getting cat hammer and bomb. cat hammer i can get rid of with a item toss combo, but the bombs i just hope i have super meter or i plan on not using items until i do. Really feels lazy and I dont like that. Hammer i know changes in extend, so i can wait to find better uses for hammer until then... but bomb? Anything useful in cs2 that isnt too hard to pick up? And one more, is there some useful clue as to getting 6c > swallow moon? Like the timing? I end up mashing it because I just dont get when the cancel timing is. Feels bad to do, so curious if you guys have some kinda hint... or did you just grind it out/it comes with experience? Thanks again! Feel free to yell at me if im being annoying with the questions! :D

Will be on soon, will host a room. Still bad, but I block okay, so bring your trolling and mixups. Playing Plat tonight. Will disrespect you with gimmicky shit. See ya soon. (Also will have a mic, so if you wanna chats it up.)

Awesome, thank you! If I dig into the character, I will learn more as I go, but I know my progress sucks if I dont focus my efforts. Appreciate the advice!

Thank spud. My summary: Expect to block. Platinums mixup is based off respect, not actual mixup strength. Don't be dumb. Works for me, That's what I was expecting. A big thing I see in her (albeit not as strong) is her mid range normals are very RobyKy like. So I can get used to that poke conversatively mentality. And fuck you play bb? We should sometime. Im kinda awful lol, only been trying to really learn as of recent. But thank you for the advice, but my question was more of a 'what to grind in training mode first' O:) Like... hammer loop? 6c j.236c jb shit? I dont training mode that well, and shes got a lot of options.... just curious what the important things to know in that way are. Being smart, block strings, all that shit is important, but when I see the combo thread go on forever..... surely theres certain things that are 'this is more useful than this' ya know? Or is plat one of those 'just learn it all at once... because its all important' kinda characters? (But good to hear about those issues, I will do well to keep them in mind. O:D)

Taking this question as 'If i enter a tourney, do I go balls deep right away, or hide gimmicks just in case?' To get wins? Hide as much of your shit as you can without losing matches because of it. If you have a sick reset that only you have.... using it 6 times in the first match means they might figure it out by game 2 or 3. Thats bad if you are there just to win 100%. To learn? Balls deep right away. If theres something wrong with your play, give them every chance to expose you. You will learn faster that way. If your just entering tourneys, learning faster is a better investment. To make friends? Do your shit, but if they eat it, explain it. Teach and be nice, dont just have shit that works then laugh at them for not knowing about it. They might have a similiar trick they could explain to you as well, making being nice a good investment on your part. Side note being that this shouldnt be a question honestly. Most good players are solid. They dont rely on hidden information to get them the win, they would prefer solid play to random lucky shit. You can be solid every solid match, you cant be random and lucky without getting blown up every match. Thats why most people who are really good would probably prefer a best of 7, 2 of 3 rounds to best of 1, 1 of 1 round every day of the week. Hope that helps.

Considering learning Plat. After the basic 'heres what normals look like, heres what unsafe on block, heres basic combos' shit, what is like..... the most important thing to learn first? Like how with Sol in gg, its better to learn basic CHSW loops than resets using GF feint? Like with platinum, whats the most bang for my buck in terms of 'learn this to get results' ? Dont care if its something that wont work in extend, but works in cs2 or vice versa. Just wanna get a start point. Thank you in advance :D

Some one make me an avy with this shit on it. I could do it myself, but no. O:)?

Hit netplay, got my first rage mail on xbl, got trolled hard as fuck, and actually had fun with netplay with randoms. Wooo. Platinum is hilarious 100% of the time. Side note, 2/3/12 - This Friday. Whos coming/interested in coming?
