New fdc is so lovely. Improves his oki and antiair options greatly. You can do the fdc immediatly you leave the ground.

Okay the video is now broken. I dunno what youtube did but it worked fine for first 12 hours.

Sure. I'll ask if there is any Sol players up for games tomorrow

Since most of you are not playing vs japanese players and are not in a same level as them. I uploaded a little set as a Faust vs Potemkin. Of course there is a level difference between us, but you might get some ideas what to do or press. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNbfpTNMF9k

I recommend watching Finos training mode and several matches from yesterday. He came to play after the tournament. http://www.twitch.tv/joniosan/b/649033658 forward to 4 hours and 25 mins. If the screen is black go to 4h and 49mins. After Fino has raped the slayer, he comes to beat chappu at 6h 49mins

Finns and Swedes are often in Russian lobbies, because there is lots of good players and the delay is 2-3. If there is no one, you should check French lobbies. At least i'm there if there is no good russians online. I have delay 3 to France from mid-Finland.

http://www.twitch.tv/nano_ochiai/profile Nages stream channel with past broadcasts. Just in case you want to see nage playing online.

This problem also occured in several other games.

Me and few others i know all have hori v4. Been good so far if you are used to older hrap sticks with sanwa. TE 1 being one of the worst sticks i've played with. I was very happy with V4.

Use blitz against teleport j.hs stuff. 2k feels like your best antiair instead of your normal tools.

Imo you have to do fdc j.k way slower in XRD compared to previous versions. Like you cant just fast piano the buttons there is actually a small delay

Just a reminder, Faust can convert nice damage from blitzing, so dont dead angle attack everytime you have tension

I have played only against Wauhti, but far slash is still your best poke on a ground, your j.hs beats her every air move, Your 6P is also very strong antiair along with 5k. There isnt really a move she can do to beat those 2 if she is in air. I like to be in the air a lot aswell. if she throws the strawberry grenade that means you can throw your item and then jump over the grenade before it lands OR dash under it. If you dash under straight to the bunny you can do even running 6p which beats most of her moves. This is not a good idea thou, but usually works. I still recommend just superjumping after you went under the grenade and throw a bag to get new item out. If you get a killer item like meteor, she cant do anything but wait. This is 1-2 free mixups for you and things start to go well for Faust if opponent is in corner. If for some reason you get into a corner and she is shotgun pressuring you, either IB those shots (very easy to do) and save meter for dead angle ((safest way to go)). FD IB:ing those shots is also easy to do, this way you wont get chipped so hard, but then you have to make sure it counts when she is getting closer again with her shotgun. This means you have to superjump out/poke her. I poke always with 2p or far slash. Also dont forget to use your blitz. If she is getting closer to you with her shotgun pressure, feel free to blitz those mid attacks. She might counterblitz you but if you go for mettakiri or 2hs instead of close slash, she will most likely fail to blitz back. Its definetly one of the hardest matchups for faust, but i still think its his favor 5.5-4.5 if you know what you are doing. Hardest being zato, then millia and for some reason chipp is lots of bullshit with teleport yrc punishes against random pokes/item throwing.

This list is for XRD December. So there wont be oldschool names like n-otoko here or inactive like Machaboo. This is also my opinion only, but i'm pretty sure 90% of the community will agree with me. Sol: Roi Ky: Ain Millia: Woshige/Nakamura Zato: Ogawa May: Kedako/Ruu Potemkin: FAB Chipp: Samitto Venom: Fino Axl: Shuuto/Yaxl Ino: Hasegawa Faust: Nage Slayer: Hase Bedman: Tsubu Ramlethal: Karinchu Console characters we dont really know yet. Sin: Elphelt: Koichi? Leo:

She has potential to be the best. Ogawa ranks her A+ atm.

Ogawas list from today @twitter. S: Zato > Millia A+: Ramlethal > Elphelt > Faust A: I-no=Venom=Sol=Ky B+: Rest Ogawas sidenotes: Zato is better than Millia because its harder to use blitsshield vs zato due to mini. Elphelt might be the best character in game. He has more UB setups than Zato. Ogawa just put her in the list at A because he thinks Zato Millia and Ram are better. Also Elphelt craps on everyone below Faust.

EU PS4 here. Before latest patch delay 2 vs PS3 friends. After patch delay 5. Might be my connection of course, but i doubt it. Didnt get to test vs ps4 players thou. I hope the patch didnt really make it worse

I got S from everything quite easily except blitzshielding mawaru and throwing zato was crazy hard to do.

Some basic stuff below examples: Overhead 6hs 236s RC 5k JI 2s sj.kspk jc jksh Low 2k 5hs 236s RC 5k 2s jk jc jksh Anything to pogo RC 5k 2s jk jc jksh If you dont wanna burn meter to RC pogo, just do going my way or throw item depending on situation. example 2p 2s 2hs pogo going my way. fdc j.k j.2k 5p 2d throw item ^ You should pay attention to fdc jk j.2k combo if you happen to have item behind the enemy and it comboes to fdc j.k j.2k. usually you have better move than 5p to do more damage, example close slash 2hs pogo, instead of 5p 2d. Far slash RC on CH you can dash near to opponent to do full combo example 5s 2hs pogo going my way. Some silly stuff just to get the kill. You can RC 2D so you can make the bnb aircombo (example fdc jk j.2k 5p 2d RC 5k 2s jk jc jksh) If 2D was starter and CH, you can combo that into pogo which you can then RC and do the follow up bnb. Mettakiri (214hs) late RC 5k 2s bnb aircombo. There seems to be no respect mixup anymore, you cannot instantly cancel your respect to 2k. (That respect move which makes Faust stand and looks a bit like 6hs startup)

Or just to boost their ego that they have ps4 and going to buy that version.

http://www.twitch.tv/joniosan Mikado masters is live, feat koichi, ogawa etc.

http://www.twitch.tv/joniosan Mikado tournament just started.

About the voice announcer. I would pay to get "The Time of Retribution Battle 1. Decide the Destiny!" to GG series.
