I know, right? Cheap ass dolphins.

yeah, i found that j. 2hs was working in that it was safe, but as he started to read the crossup, i started trying to slide other stuff in. I tried some tick throws, and they worked fine; but i've never played against anybody who actually knows what a tickthrow setup looks like and how to stop it, so i had my laughs messing with that. I'll leave that topic by saying "Last i checked, if i go to tick throw you, i shouldnt be the one getting thrown. >.>" XD As for 6p, i have no clue when and how to use it. I think my problem is i dont trust it. I mean, May looks so carefree when she does it, so im like "why in the world would i try a half ass love tap over the good ol' anchor in the face"? All jokes aside, i think i managed to pick all the bad times to use 6p, and was then discouraged from doing so for the rest of the time. -stops crying- It wasnt as bad as i'm making it out to be. I mean, it wasnt close per say, but it's not like i got mopped off the face of the earth. I got my loops in here and there, i felt so pro when i got my FRC -> IAD. I felt like there was hope... that got sliced in half by a gimp-legged bastard who laughs at people while he throws money at them.

Tick throwing is a universal term (read: its in pretty much every fighting game). What is it is a throw that follows a quick, low recovery attack. The point of doing so is to force your opponent to block; by doing a low recovery attack, you scare them into continuing to block as you walk up and throw them. From what i've seen in GG, you mainly do this as a pressure option (and not so much as a wakeup option, which happens in most other games). It's not so much that you throw INSTEAD of attacking, but it's that you have your opponent to the point of where they arent going to stop blocking until you let up, and you cant hit them because their defense is too good (meaning you are predictable or just CANT do anything to get through). ___ From what i've seen, 2p and 2k work good for close range, 5k and 5s work good if you s.dolphin afterwards (to close the gap). FB dolphins also work wonders for tick throws. ___ As for mixups, i cant really talk cause im still learning myself; but you do have your dust mixup (that being you can do a high and low dust, and both startups look the same). You also have a nasty crossup with your j.2hs. ___ That's all i got, im pretty sure somebody else will be around with more.

i know, it's just the learning process. this one was just painful. Very painful. XD

oh boy. so yesterday, i got to play a person again. But unlike last time, this person has actually played guilty gear before, and was actually good. ... and i dunno if i should be admitting this in public, but i got wrecked by a johnny. XD Needless to say. I learned that i completely blow at pressuring (COMPLETELY), and that i suck doing dust combos. I also refuse to use any wakeup that johnny cant respond with a wakeup throw. >.> __ Also. Now i see what you guys mean by "Ky will just laugh at you if you dolphin him".... talk about fun cancelling.

ya know. I've come to the conclusion that "I'd Lameloop my mom if she rolled Jam" ...

/me scratches his head Um.... hm. >.>

Im assuming the answer to this would be a white flaming death, but why would you not dolphin Ky?

just fyi, the 5D options vid got taken down. >.>

i know, i know, i just thinks its funny. i've been practicing combos, and have some basic ins and outs worked out, lame loops, FRC VD -> instant airdash. but then i notice i get tripped up on stupid sh*t, like working my mixup options and setting up combos. Heaven forbid if i OHK from a whiffed SVD. XD And then, the worst thing of all, i go to start a combo, AND THE F*CKER BLOCKS THE STARTUP. :/ /me smiles and scratches his head. Gotta lllllloooonnnngggg way to go, but i've been havin fun tryin to get there.

man, i finally played some GG against some competent people. ... holy crap i blow at this game. XD

Oh dont be fooled. I thought the exact same thing when I finally figured out how to FB. But it's amazing. Combo starting/pressuring goodness.

yeah it's just yet another case of me not putting 2 + 2 together.

yes i have >.>, its just that i apparently was lying to myself when i said i was JIing my combos. XD

and after sitting there for 2 days i thought i finally understood wtf JIing was.

say. is there anything special that needs to be done to airdash after a FRC v.dolphin? Other than practice and faith in may, that is. >.>

Ya know, i wish i woulda manned up and actually played some, but i learned aloooooot of stuff by just keeping my mouth shut and watching. ... ok so i didnt keep my mouth shut, but you get the idea. FR was amazing, and i had more fun with gg than I did with anything else. IT'S MAY BABY!!

pad. i blow too much to use a stick. I've been workin on my stick in general, though. I bought a HRAP about 2 years ago cause i've always wanted to be good at arcade cabs, but i've never lived in a city with an arcade. But when i finally got my hrap, i never really got around to it. I havent tried GG with a stick yet, that sounds fairly impossible in my mind. The game is tooooo hard. XD

oh shit. i just started practicing GG again, and ive come to the conclusion that i can actually RC without an "easy" button! go me!

im not too upset; it's the luck of the draw, really. If anything, i think i could work up on some CvS2 if it came to it. ... needless to say, im scared to death of going to try GGAC. XD

cause they're not having melee, it'll make no sense for me to play brawl with only a weeks practice tops, and I am either inexperienced or completely blow at everything else i could possibly enter.

final round? I'm probably gunna go to that, although im not gunna enter ANYTHING. >.> It blows

rofl; i've been avoiding brawl videos like the plague; but i guess it's a sign if they wind up in my dustloop. ... strange thing though; never thought i'd see a monkey in my dustloop. >.>

Smashboards is unorganized cause people are going apeshit over brawl, scrubs are popping up left and right, and nobody cares about the melee metagame anymore. :/

whoops. kinda forgot i said i would look for a song. XD glad you found one though.
