Blade

I guess, thing was, in BBCT, even though you did 2D freeze into air combo, you could "hit" with j.D for more damage even though it didn't freeze and still land an Icecar afterwards. That's kinda what I'm going for. And pretty much I'm trying to learn everybody. :china:

I need some help, I'm trying to find the optimal damage combo for the following situation: Setup: 5C(CH)>6C>2D (first freeze) 6C>DC>5C> (Air combo that either ends in j.D>B Musou/j.D>C Musou/anything that ends in D Musou). The problem I'm having is that after the first freeze (2D), I dash cancel and do 5C>2C>hjc air combo, but I'm not high enough to end it with Musou. I know I can cut the 2C altogether, but the main thing is trying to find the most damaging air combo that ends in any Musou, ideally something that ends in j.D>any musou for high damage if that's even possible.

Cuz most of the time I've played Jins, when I block they either poke with a single normal over and over till they get a square hit (j.B spam), or if their up close, they go for tick-throw and throw-reject-miss bait. If they don't do that, they go for mixup, 5A spam, or 2A spam, or j.A stuff. At the very least I'd like to know what stuff good Jin's throw out and how I can beat them or what openings there are.

Well, in my experiences fighting Jin players, they tend to break up my tempo with "single pokes" and then do another poke that leads into combos. It really messes with my head. This is also true for throw-reject-miss baits I've dealt with. As for which moves have faster startups, you can't really compare them in a large sense if a move has already started. If for example Jin has a move with 10 frame startup, and it took you 3-4 frames to realize it was coming out and react to it, it'd be on frame 5-6 that you'd actually be reacting, I think, and depending on what you use, the move may not make it in time. How else would you react aside from preemptive prediction? I tend to have a hard time reacting to Jin's 5A or 5C for example, short of blocking them, and blocking isn't something you always want to do, even if it is an IB. I'm not arguing the possibility, I just need a better way to react short of raw agression since that can be punished by Jin and take you apart.

This isn't perfected or anything, but I'm trying to make a list of normals that beat out or at least trade with Jin's normals (from poke-distance or closer). By 'beat out' I mean, you see the move coming out and react to it with a normal of your own. 5A (some distance): answer with anything once it's out. 5A (up close): 2A/2B maybe? 5A (dash primed): not sure... 6A (some distance): most things beat it unless it's fully out. 6A (up close): Not sure but it's kinda slow so 5A maybe unless it's part of mixup. 6A (dash primed): 5A possibly. 2A (some distance): jB/jC/5C, maybe? 2A (up close): not sure... 2A (dash primed): again, not sure... 5B (some distance): haven't tested, so not sure. 5B (up close): 5A/2A possibly? Otherwise it's kinda fast. 5B (dash primed): unsure. 6B (some distance): 6A/5B will beat it I believe. 6B (up close): 5A 6B (dash primed): 5A but otherwise unsure. 2B (some distance): 5B/5C maybe. 2B (up close): 2A possibly? 2B (dash primed): not sure. 5C (some distance): beats most ranged pokes, so I'm guessing jump normals would beat it in some situations. 5C (up close): same situation as above, so not really sure. 5C (dash primed): even worse to deal with than the other two, so not sure. 6C (some distance): possibly 5B. 6C (up close): 6A/2C maybe. 6C (dash primed): 2C/2B maybe? 2C (some distance): 5B works on its startup I think, 5C maybe too. 2C (up close): answer with 5A/2A/2B maybe. 2C (dash primed): probably most fast ground normals beat it, but otherwise not sure what's best. 3C (some distance): answer with 5B/5C 3C (up close): kinda fast so unsure. 3C (dash primed): also fast so unsure. 5D (some distance): pretty sure 5B beats this on reaction, 5C may trade/exchange with it. 5D (up close): 5A/6A maybe, 2C maybe as well. 2D (some distance): a dash-primed 5B can beat this I think, and maybe 5C if you're not too slow to see it coming. 2D (dash primed/distance): untested, so unsure. 2D (up close): always wiffs so you get a free punish/2C FC 6D (some distance): 5B will hit most of the time, but could trade/exchange if you react too slowly. dash-primed 2C also works in some situations. 6D (up close): 5A/6A/possibly 2C 6D (dash primed: possibly 2C otherwise unsure. j.A (backwards): dash-primed 6A maybe? j.A (forwards): 6A j.A (airdash/IAD): 6A?/5A possibly. j.B (backwards): unsure, possibly 5D(2). j.B (forwards): preemptive 6A j.B (airdash/IAD): 6A I think. j.C (backwards): unsure, maybe 5B/dash-primed 6A. j.C (forwards): 6A I think. j.C (airdash/IAD): not sure since it's fast. j.2C (backwards): not sure. j.2C (forwards): 6A maybe. j.2C (airdash/IAD): 5A/6A maybe. j.D (backwards): not sure. j.D (forwards): not sure. j.D (airdash/IAD/crossup): reverse 6A maybe. This list assumes you are on the ground most of the time, and also excludes use of Inferno Divider as a get-out-of-trouble move, though if you can RC it it's safer, but 5A up close/dash-primed 5C seem to be the worst to me as Jin can throw you from crouch normals. Also no mention of oki or what to do with normals that come out once you block the first hit. If anyone has better input on Jin's normals than me (and you probably do), please say so.

I agree with the Aksys thing. Zen United does their promotions from time to time, but it's not a regular thing either.

Not entirely sure what the "experiment" here is, but if I might offer a suggestion: Ranking could be based on Articles Posted and Information threads that people have voted (number of stars rating the thread) on and approved of. Not just posts in general. For example, if a thread gets "stickied" that would boost the original poster's rep or something like that. Again, not sure if there's an app for that. OR you could do something where the moderators decide a person's rep. :8/:

I'm suspicious of this...but does anyone else think that Hagar is a look-a-like for Freddy Mercury?

I'm not sure but, okay, though I would like to see a Justice and Kliff Gatling Table for AC+.

In the end I don't think it matters what people think of the game now, since it didn't sell well in the first place, and that says a lot about peoples' opinion of the game. And unless someone wants to set up a GG2 Tournament in the near future and people take interest or initiative, I don't see that opinion changing. If they ported it, I might consider getting it (as a collector), but as of now I have neither the money nor alternative reasons to get a 360.

Just to clarify, shtkn, you're asking for Accent Core Plus Gatlings, yes? And Not anything from Calamity Trigger or earlier games?

This is a cry for help. Has anyone played TofuStain? Zig Zag Tao is scary. She dominates me in the air. ;_;

Has anyone been able to find a way to rip PS3 sprites? Just asking.

I'll never understand New York nomenclature. ._.

Posting this here, even though it was only "partially" translated from Korean: http://aquarin.woweb.net/zboard/view.php?id=guilty01&:page=1&sn1=&divpage=1&sn=off&ss=on&sc=on&select_arrange=headnum&desc=asc&no=1 This is Lightning the Argent Novel by the way.

Just sayin'...3C beats Sturm Wolf (A thousand Wolves' Howl) for hilarious results.
