Shadow is controlled by releasing buttons. Saves you a lot of grief to hold buttons down to prime the shadow for use rather than tap buttons and get accidental gatlings and stuff that throw off the combo. |||||| described how to do the combo but here it is again: hold P, [dash 2[K], release P then press and hold P, release K]x whatever then go into whatever combo. Lengthy description- Have shadow P primed by holding P. Dash 2K and hold K to keep a buzzsaw from coming out. Release P to link the shadow P off the 2K then immediately press P and hold it down again to prevent a 2P from coming out. Release K during the shadow P so a buzzsaw can't come out. Repeat. AFAIK you can also do 2[K], tap P and release K, repeat, or something like that. Essentially... -hold K so buzzsaw doesn't come out -tap P during 2K so P/2P doesn't come out -tap P so your release makes the shadow P hit at the right time, then release K during the shadow P -repeat But eh. I don't play Eddie enough to tell you exactly what way you should be doing this, that's just what I've gathered from common sense and watching Marn's hands lol.

The first 8 hitsof that combo did 50%... woohoo.

Ricky used to play, dunno if he's kept up but he played Baiken and Buri IIRC. He's not the best best best player ever but he executes more consistently than most, which is generally good enough to do well.

May's IK mode now takes more than a full second to activate (70 frames) so she no longer gets guaranteed IKs off of dizzies. Unless you're talking #R... then those May players were silly ;(

You can also just throw her out of counters.

Zewo: On Jam, delay either the dash or the K a bit. Should work fine. On heavier characters you typically have to do dash 2P so spacing is a problem, so JACKHOUND if you're not confident with spacing. Generally speaking you might as well Jackhound if you have any doubts as to spacing on any character ;(

No it means don't automatically assume you have to go to great lengths to escape pressure/mixups. Yeah you might have gotten grabbed a bunch in a previous game, but that was a previous game- if you're getting hit a lot trying to escape throws, you need to focus less on what happened before and realize that you are just getting hit right now. So yeah. Learn to adjust to the current situation, not what got you and scared you like 3 games ago. Keep it in mind, but if you're constantly eating something totally different because you're trying to avoid something else, then your blocking and general defensive mindset need work. Frame traps don't necessarily require frame advantage, especially in GG with all the gatlings and cancels and stuff available to you. The idea behind frame traps/broken pressure is to set gaps in your pressure that your opponent might try to mash/jump out of, only to get nailed by the incoming move. Moves that are slightly delayed to not combo, or just moves that don't combo in the first place are great for this, frame advantage is nice but some characters have frame traps that work even with disadvantage because of priority/speed/reach (like Chipp) I'm not psychic, but poon probably means your mixups either a) get predictable after seeing you play a bit and/or b) you only mix up on the first hit and don't continue your mixup series properly when your first mixup doesn't work out. And yeah he can mean that if he's seeing patterns in your offense, and believe me, some people are really really good at picking up on things like that, and you might never even realize you're doing it yourself till someone points it out to you. I think the thing is that you guys just haven't had nearly enough exposure to other players, which is why you're having trouble totally getting what poon is trying to say.

Only works on certain people =O

I dunno how well Slash Slayer will do against Pot though =O

DL needs more flashing avatars. If this can be accomplished without increasing the av filesize limit then awesome. Otherwise steps must be taken to ensure the quality of DL avs. As long as stupid things like half-naked women with full K groove bars for hair as Sentinel gapes at them with a random screenname splashed over it then I think we can avoid the SRK situation. This is totally not the concept behind my idea for an av where there's a half-naked woman with Magneto heads coming out of her chest making out with Sagat while an A groove bar connects their between-leg-spaces also it has a random picture of Akuma on it with a screenname like d3m0nKy0x

He's like a more retarded Slayer.

It sounds like I've already figured this matchup out then.

We still do suck =( How does Pot fight Millia for real, all I do is do random moves that could lead to death (Hammerfall FRC, 2H, mash buster, Gigantor, etc.) and pray. That's actually kinda how I play Potemkin anyways but moreso against Millia than most. Also this is a matchup thread there isn't enough flaming going on.

Hold back during kick. Hold downback during sweep. Duh.

Hey USC just wanted to say what's up and I hope you like those Heismans.

Too hard to confirm usually, Mist Cancel isn't THAT fast either. It recovers quickly but there's still recovery and it's enough that you can't consistently save yourself from Hammerfalls... maybe if you catch him from far off and at the beginning of his Hammerfall...? It doesn't work enough for me to rely on it, I usually go for coin if I don't have L2 already.
