damn that stick is da sex.

Yeah, i am definitely sold. Carl ftw Can't wait to get my hands on this game so i can start learning this beast.

What is the price on one of those beasts?

Hey guys, does anyone know of any good 360 sticks that are out there? I heard that the converters are all garbage and is just as cheap to buy a stick. Any recommendations?

As far as i know, the only thing that will combo into 2hs is c.s as far as i know. 2hs is very useful but i dont like to rely on it at all, for me it is one of those moves i use sparingly. I actually use it for a summon combo if i get the CH on 6p. 6p CH 2hs 236p. It is just one of things you just use if it ever comes up in a match. The damage output is a bit better than the normal BnB and you still get your orbs. Phrekwenci: Eh, i'm not really sure if it works any more but i would say it isn't really worth it. I mean it would be cool to know to end a match in a flashy manner but if you have the tension to perform an RC out of the BnB, in my opinion, i think it is better to go for the extra 3 orbs from the instant raoh combo. The damage you get from getting raoh out would be far greater than that combo, not to mention the knock down you get is really useful.

Umareru pretty much gave you some pretty solid advice for this match up so i won't say much. Pretty much any air grab or grab leads into a free summon gate. I seen a few that you missed. another thing is that zappa has pretty much no game on wake up, grab them if they get to close or backdashing are pretty much your only options. Summon gate is good occassionally but is easily baitable and you get punished hard for it if it doesn't land. Sadly jumping with zappa in general is a bad thing, especially with naked zappa. Usually if you jump in the air, you are going to get beat out which is why his air grab is sick. Also, when it comes to FRC on the ghost tosses, it is a very crucial part of the ghost game but don't over do it. I try to minimalize it due to the fact it literally will drain your tention if it is overused, making it a very bad thing. Being able to react to situations is a huge part of playing zappa due to the fact he has four forms not including raoh that can randomly occur due to e-summons. This can either make or break your game. Also, if possible, always try to summon gate out of a combo. A basic combo to use is 2p 2k 2h 236p. Also utilize you f.s as much as possible, it is an amazing move than can give you a free summon gate not to mention a ridiculous amount of control forcing your opponent to bend to your liking. I would suggest getting down the basic mechanics of the game before going for huge combos though. knowing what each of a characters moves do be it a special, overdrive, or whatever is easily one of the best things you can do. Zappa is easily a difficult character to learn but just stick with it. It is definitely worth it in the long run.

Whoa a zappa actually won something? that is news to me.

I'm pretty much on this site like half of the day so you can hit me up anytime man.

Yeah, don't pick zappa. Thats just asking to lose.

This is an insanely late response but their are several different match videos where miichi completely devastates eki-chan even though he really doesn't make many mistakes. In my opinion Dizzy is zappa's absolute worst match up. I have immense amounts of trouble fighting Dizzy due to the fact it is ridiculously hard to get an opening and i get out poked left and right. Regardless of that, i will link the videos when i get home. I don't feel like messing with a proxy to get through the schools blocks atm.

yeah, sadly there are not many zappa's at all. Although the ones that are out there tend to be extremely dedicated.

Oh shit i didn't know their were two different ones. News to me.

Ok, im not sure of it because i can't find any videos. Mitsurugi has apparently switched from Johnny to Zappa and had like a 35 win streak going at an arcade in Japan.

I hear ya man, Yeah, i checked out those combos a long time ago but sadly alot of the sword combos are pretty weak. They prorate to much and i already did all the dog combos/loops by the time i seen the video. I think really one of the only things i dont have down is the ghost frc combo in the corner, i don't see it really worth it that much though. The damage is really weak, i would just rather do the basic lift combos off of my frc throwing and j.hs. Yeah thats pretty tight, i've been messing around with several 2hs dog combos lately. I never seem to have the tension though when i actually pull off the c.s. so i usually just end combos with it.

Amen to that man, that makes my friend so mad.

Sorry man, if i didn't live in Kentucky than i would love to play some casuals with you.

haha that'd be something else, too much raoh.

WHOA! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! 5?!?!?! HYPE!!!! ZAPPA LIVES!!!!!

yeah i'm aware of that, I've had a video archive for a while now and study them quite often. Sadly i can't really watch too many zappa videos though because their aren't to many of them out there. I have about 30 different zappa matches as of now, but its starting to become difficult to find more. I just recently checked out the kekken videos again from Showdown 3, he really shined versus Caer.

My bad, I'm just really trying to advance my play right now and trying to make some last minute combos revisions down before Them Vs Us. Sorry if i was an inconvenience. That combo seems pretty sick though, i might have to try it out.
