I need some loop advice. When I start taunt looping, I get to about 3 or 4 when I start either blue-beating or just completely whiff because they end up too high up. I obviously am doing the loop way to fast, but where? Which input needs to be delayed? taunt, 214d, or 2d~b? Because of this stupid habit of mine, I had to hack my combo's and in turn, hack my damage. Its a pain in the ass. ALSO, I really want to know what your guy's BnB is like. I like watching other people's BnB to see if I can either incorporate, or mix it into mine. Its also fun to see other people's simple combo's being used instead of taunt insanity. Mine are- 1) 5b -> 3c -> (5d~6 -> j.c)x3 -> 236b -> 2d~6 -> 236bbbbb~ (Courtesy of xDest lol) 2) 5b -> 2a(1hit) -> JC -> 5d~b -> taunt -> 236cc -> 2d~9 -> (j.c -> JC)x3 236bbbbb 3) 5b -> 2a -> JC -> j.a -> j.c -> JC -> j.c -> 236bbbbb (Lazy) 4) 5b -> 2a(1hit) -> JC -> 2d~b (taunt loop)x3/4() -> 236cc -> 2d~9 -> 5d~a -> 9d~5 -> 9d~9 -> 236bbbbb

why aren't you going?

Okay, you got bit by a rabid Redwall reading cat ear wearing douche bag who thinks his fangs and claws would save the world when you were a kid. We just like Taokaka EDIT: I explained furry to my dad, and he said- "Give me a gun. We should put them in the woods with rednecks. That will get them running." I lol'd. Btw is the ranbat a 6pm thing again? What time of day is it gonna happen?

You got bit by a cat when you were a kid. Don't hate.. don't hate..

LOL.. yeah I had a fair share of fail myself with Nu's 5c -> 6c (after CS wallbounces).. which doesn't work... rofl.. Thats all you got? Didn't you get some gift card or something?.. my hinata doll has the most deformed head evar D: its scary HEY! I'm a furry too 3:< It should be 2v2 BBCS Tournament :333 ... "Can I haz :3?"

THANK YOU for clearing my 236bxn problem up. So now its basically gonna be always 8/92346bbbbb every time i finish a combo huh... I'll definitely test out that 3c combo. It looks interesting. As for taunt loops, I can't even get past two without dropping. How much do taunts prorate for combo's? Someone test out the damage difference for these two bnb's- 5b -> 6a(1hit) -> JC -> 2d~b -> taunt -> 214d -> j.2d~b -> taunt -> 214d -> j.2d~b -> taunt -> 236cc.. (dont finish the combo) 5b -> 6a(1hit) -> JC -> 2d~b -> taunt -> 214d -> j.2d~b -> taunt -> 236cc.. I just want to see how difficulty trades off for damage in her taunt loop game. If I can't get 13 freakin taunts off of 6c then I want to figure out another way to get in damage. Taunt combo's are easier to execute. But doesn't mean their brainless either.. as you already know probably. I think the hit-frames for ~B cancels went from 3 frames to 5 because it does seem easier to ~b cancel. I have feeling as well Tao is going to epically fail online. She already did poorly in CT, I think CS is gonna kill her for good

I need help with Lambda zoning. Badly. In CT, nu's zoning was brainless, her act parcer and 236d's after combo > 214d were just normal stuff... but now its different. How do people use 236a/b/c non-midcombo? After blocked 2d's or 6d's? And since 214d replaced 236d in CS for wake up games, what do you do after usuall? Bait them and 2d/6d them? My most difficult part is missing swords, which is cruicial with lamda, not so much with Nu.. her recovery after a missed sword compared to a hit confirm or block or just hit is rediculous. People have jumped the entire screen and j.c'd me while I missed my pathetic 6d. It gets old after awhile. And also, is there a more damaging combo after 3c that doesn't involve 2147d (Because I suck at it) besides this one I use as my BnB-? 3c -> 214a -> 5c -> 6c -> 236c -> 66 -> 5c -> 6c -> 6d -> 2d -> j.dd -> dj.2dd -> 214d (3XXX) Help?

There has to be some fair splitting system between players.. maybe like random choosing then majority vote of the team fairness after? Are people that about mirror matches? Sure they might not be the most interesting but i'm sure some people are gonna rage when they can't use their main... I personally dont have a problem with it since I main two's, but other single main's might be

It didn't seem you were dropping combo's.. or else you were thinking GADGETTO FIGGA!!! and that kept failing or something XDD gg's tho Yeah well be happy with your goodie bag, all 3rd and 2nd got was some lame-ass narutard garbage XDDD... Yeah he's the carl. Does phaethon have direct capture like he had on CT? Figured as much XDD Just recently 3: I'm gonna head down when i have time soon. I was up here at AOD getting knocked into third by Renegade here during the BBCS ranbat yesterday.. lol.. ...2/13 or 3/13 D: I'm voting for random/waseda as well. btw the 10$ entry fee.. is that for the pot? Maybe its just me but thats a high entry fee /pulls out empty pockets 3:

So YOU were renegade.. that tech-trap-touchy tager XD.. you beat my ass in pretty hard. Tournament was fun tho :3 Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pcT5YhtfOc Would have liked to see Lambda's and Tao's new zoning and combo game. No one recorded i'm supposing. Also, was that Eric with the really long black hair and the glasses? I would be like ROFL XDD

Ugh.. why does have to be RIGHT on the day of the San Fran AOD-con... I'll try to make it... Awww... 3:

People keep correcting me saying 5d~9 or 9d~9 or 8d~9 it's all the same imo it just gets annoying... Anyways thanks for the input. Yeah, it might be my laggy inputs messing up the combo. I never was used to JC j.c combo's, I always used to do drive loops. On the other hand, ANYBODY know ANY 6d drive loop combo's off of 3c?! It seems there is no way to end it... I can't j.a j.c 9d~9, can't j.a j.a 9d~9... T____________T

I'm having trouble ending combo's I keep recieving 236bbbb(drop), instead of 236bbbb~wallbounce... My combo i've been using is 5b -> 6a(1hit) -> JC -> 5d~b -> taunt -> 236cc -> 2d~9 -> j.c -> 5d~9 -> j.c -> JC -> j.c -> 236bbbb (Miss or hit wallbounce?!?) Single taunt combo's for now.. but I dunno, it obviously has to do with height. It really irks me.

I saw you continue a combo AFTER a 236bbbbb~ wallbounce. It looked like a quick j.aaa.. That wad cool. You gotta experiment with that more. Jesus 3c -> 5d~b (Whiff) -> 5b -> 5c -> 2d~9 -> j.c -> j.c -> j.c -> 236bbbbb~ galore XD Thats definitely your sig combo :P. Nice job with the CH drive cancels and crawl > spark bolt lol.

Well at some point, when I'm able to get back online, I want to make a separate YouTube channel, deticated to upload the ranked matches with the player's consent. If this option is available in the console version of CS (Whenever THAT comes out lol..), I will do the same for that as well. Until then I have my hands tied with the situation I have in my hands right now. Yeah, I live near San Fran now, so we should have a decent connection if we played. I just think most of the connections on XBL are far superior to PS3, if you've ever played PS3 online its three times as bad T^T... BB matches are all about guessing the lagged inputs ahead of your opponent lol.

XD good times. I dunno man, but you dropped A LOT of combo's that match 3: .. but again your zoning and poking is fun to watch. You should get your own capture card! I'm thinking about a time in the future when I capture other people's matches by downloading their uploaded ranked match with their permission. If that goes through you should get a cool ranked match up online :3 Hmmm.. Yeah, I guess its a combo, but some combo's can break the line of wasted gauge or not enough reward for risk, such as a difficult combo for low damage. But it does look funny Anyways, if you haven't already, you should definitely check out this thread ( http://dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6759 ), the first post. There are several combo vids that have some pretty unique combo's if you're into combo-researching as I used to do. Get your idea's from there, and try your own :3

Hmm.. well I wouldn't even attempt something like 5d~c -> 5d~a -> 8d~6 (Isn't it 9d~9?), there are too many variable's with missed drive cancels and EVERY FREAKIN TIME I do something like that (5b -> 6a -> 236aa -> 2d~6 -> 3d~c -> 3d~a -> 9d~9 etc etc.), I whiff either the first or second drive cancel, and the opponent is more than often spamming B+C B+C B+C the entire time and gets a counter throw in the middle of my combo lol. I just found it so unaffordable that unless I get that C~A drive cancel down like boot camp in my head its useless lol. I also noticed that the first combo was off of 3c (block, block, CH), so that might have affected the combo hitbox wise. I was practicing on Nu :/...

Well I can't incorporate my own advice into my Tao game most of the time so you're better off than me ROFL XDD. True I did train with TaoFTW, and he gave me sound advice, hands on training, and tricks. But I still struggle to be accurate with my hitconfirm game, which you seem to have down much better than I do. My j.c's and drive cancels are my main way of getting into a combo not good pressure like a good tao :/... I still haven't had any success. I posted before that the 5d~5 -> j.c -> 5d~6 parts somehow dont work for me. And the rare times I did pull it off it wasn't on purpose. For my matter, if its that difficult to pull off, and the fact that I play online a lot, didn't amount enough reason to keep trying his/her combo's. I go for reliable, damaging, and my trademark LONG combo's, that edge the opponent into bursting. That was a great match to watch though. Dest and John as you said are far too busy reasearching CS. John with this two jobs, school, and compilation of Tao strategies for the CS forum thread is not worrying too much about CT combo's for sure :P Oh alright LoL Just keep in mind too, a little tip for ya, the trick with tao's j.c mid drive combo's is to TAP j.c. Even if you just casually push j.c it can be considered "charged", and completely throwing the combo to garbage by whiffing or black beating. Keep on tappin'! :3
