Killerwatt

Great work 10stars. I have a question though; during your enkasu combos from MFL2, how are you able to air dash right after the KJ FRC to set up said enkasu? Whenever I try to do that, the opponent always seems to tech out right after I frc and hit the dash.

I once saw BLEED FRC a whiffed lvl2 MF mid...it seemed to be a moot point though, since lvl2's are generally safe on wiff (could be wrong). Other than that I've never known of any use for them. I'll take your suggestion into account though 10stars; once I get better at hitconfirming my lvl2s because having to hitconfirm and FRC seem a bit daunting to me.

OK guys, really need some analysis of these new fights of mine. They are the first of me against my group's resident Slayer and it's one of my most difficult fights. Out of everyone I play in my GG group I have the least time with Slayer. Any and all critiques are much appreciated. pewter (SL) vs killerwatt (JO) pewter (SL) vs killerwatt (JO) 2

Quick question: Are the custom icons for the individual character threads coming back? I liked those

Maybe they received free tension from a Raskyoko (sp?).

Wow, you teamed up with THE Suzume? He is the only JO I know that can be argued over being better that BLEED. What's he up to? Does he even still play? I barely see any new AC vids of him.

That was a mis-input KJ FRC; I got a little ahead of myself and tried to FRC before the move even came out lol Thanks for the great analysis; I'll be sure to work on these, especially my air combos which I've been dropping more than usual lately.

Cool! You fought Jonio! (which is how I think it's supposed to be spelled). He's one of the Johnny's I follow; excellent player, but of course you already know this with first hand experience.

Thanks 10stars! I was the one who requested this actually; on your first Enkasu vid. This will be of great help.

I second this. Also if you happen to run into BLEED or any other top JO player, that'd be awesome to see what they've been up to.

Few new matches of me are up. I'm noticing I need to work on hit-confirm. And I need to stop dropping air combos. I've also been losing more lately, as I'm try to change bad habits into good. Doesn't help that my opponents are also getting a lot tougher to beat. formerly (RO) vs killerwatt (JO) formerly (RO) vs killerwatt (JO) 2 killerwatt (JO) vs bacon (OS) This one against OS was really close... Anyhoo...critique away, while I practice my air combos and FRCs...

This is great Elven. By any chance can you upload matches from the arcades you play at, or that you might get from a-cho or something? That would be incredibly insightful.

Yep, seems new. Saw this as soon as it was uploaded. My only question is (@ 0:24) how was he able to do a jc KJ from 6HS? I've seen BLEED do that periodically and it always mystifies me. The mechanics behind it, that is.

Hey guys, got another vid of my Dizzy for you. I'm trying to incorporate the bubble more. Other than that I know for a fact there are better things I can be doing as Dizzy. But I'll leave that up to you to tell me. Don't forget to let me know what I'm doing right as well as wrong, so that I can make note of that and keep it up. bacon (OS) vs killerwatt (DI)

I can't look at the link atm, but can someone let me know if this is PS2 compatible?

Slashbacking in actual matches is so hit or miss for me...training mode is one thing, actual battle is a totally different matter. Anyway back to topic: How do we go about manuevering around the trees? One's instinct usually would be to jump them but if the TE is any smart he'll have set up a few blood traps to bait that beforehand. Then it's air combo -> blah blah badlandsloop lol. Too bad we don't have tensionless Jackhound anymore.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll get to work on mastering JI asap.

Thank you everyone; this has been extremely helpful. Something JOFan said interestes me though; JI combos are moot due to KJT>KJ FRC resetting the jumps anyway? So in that case, how viable are is JI for mixup purposes?

This is what I read actually...thanks for replying JO, but do you or anyone else have links to any match/combo videos where Johnny uses JI? The examples using characters I'm not familiar with didn't help me understand any better. Sorry if this seems a bother in advance.

Forgive me in advance if this seems like a question that shouldn't go here, but can someone explain to me in detail the essence of what a Jump Install is? I've read it in the Gameplay section and I'm having trouble making sense of it...would be great if someone had a video or something so I can visually make sense of it. Thanks.

Well, in terms of my personal gimmicks to hit people with I've got a little something (and I'm probably the only JO player who does with). Evey few times I score a KD I oki with 2K or 3HS, then as their life gets low I oki a tkEnsenga. I've had this turn successful in my fights (check out some of my early youtube matches, subpar as they are) because my opponents know I have no standing overheads other than our slow ass 5D so they always block low on wakeup...but probably only because of me conditioning my opponent I guess. Of course, if/when they block high on wakeup that's my ass w/o a RC for safety. Thoughts?

No, GG's still there, next to the DDR in the back. Not sure when they close though.

Yeah I know...my Dizzy is clearly premature and in need of a lot work. Training mode here I come ;_;

I've actually noticed this without noticing it, if that made any sense. In training mode while practicing enkasus I'd meaty 3H after the KD and continue in MFL2 K -> blah blah. Sometimes I'd try to see if I could keep it going without having their life regain and once or twice I managed to do it (you even hear their death cry once you deplete their HP, even in a combo!) Now I know how to properly practice meaties, instead of goofing off. Thanks 4r5!
