I feel like Axl is definitely doable, you just have to use every single tool Pot has. 6P, Megafist Fwd and Bk, Slide, Hammer break, Hammer YRC, ICPM YRC, all the usual pokes, etc. Well, at least, it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as bad as some other matchups Zato and I-no are far more frustration inducing in my experience

Also, remember that hitting her, whether blocked or not, stops the swords from finishing their animations if they are out

I think it was moreso that people thought it was nerfed from AC+R, but then it turns out this game was developed based on #R(the game itself even says that in the glossary). So seeing it that way I don't think it was nerfed in any special way.

Yeah, you're right, I was just frustrated. My bad, I'm over it and moving on to just practice lol Thanks for the directory links, that is super useful

Jesus christ even shitty Fausts are a huge problem. Couldn't they have given Pot at least ONE DAMN THING that helps with his huge amount of bad matchups? I really hope they give him something if/when they update. Don't get me wrong, I know I'm bad, I know my defense still sucks. But for Pot's bad matches, when they're at my level, they get to do almost whatever they want because they just already have way better tools.

How is this different from how you do it normally?

So uhh, how do you fight Chipp? Or is it just the same answer with everyone...? Edit: Also, why does he do as much damage as Pot? That is is fucking retarded. Edit2: I can barely even jump! If he has meter he can just YRC some shit and air throw me on reaction. WTF Edit3: ...And Millia for that matter. I don't even know how you can block TK Badmoon.

I don't know if this will satisfy you but, if you read the glossary/watch the story mode, you learn that going through death and being revived changed both Zato's AND Eddie's personalities. I actually like how Zato ended up, he's stoic, but he feels very wise now, and Eddie feels like he's more of his ally than a monster to control. Also you forgot about Pot who basically fills the robot category now, even though he isn't one. Then there's Ram who is basically a B type, especially if you put Dizzy in that category. I agree on your "D" section, but that was already a rather small part of it as you only listed 3 characters. For the most part I don't think the ratio of grotesque/tough guy/pretty boy/cute girl/tough girl has changed that much Yeah, I guessed as much =(

Is it really that simple? I feel like even if I instant block he still has a ton of time to IAD in or just poke me with his much faster attacks.

I'm just asking to check, but in your guys experience, what are some things that Pot tends to catch you out of or cause some annoyance or ANYTHING that has any kind of meaning that isn't just blocking everything perfectly? I'm asking as Pot player

Thanks I didn't know about the 6K IB punish. Can't pull it off yet though lol So, how do people keep their morale up when half the cast now is the type of character Pot has a hard time with. I just fought an Elfeldt like 15 matches in a row and won like two of them. To say nothing of Zato, Ino, Ram, Axl(a little less bad in some ways), Chipp, Venom, Faust, etc. etc. It just sucks when every character that's popular is your bad match. Edit: Like with Zato, even if you manage to kill Eddie, it's still really hard to deal with Zato because of bullshit like Invite Hell. Pot has literally nothing he can do to that that's decently safe. If Zato's doing it it's either where you're forced to block it, like on wakeup, or at full screen like a wall, and even then even if you try to walk up to it to FDB, it's not like he's going to let you do that for free, so like what the fuck do you even do Edit 2: And while I am complaining, it's not all bad, true I am learning and I can at least feel I'm getting a bit better(though my execution is another story)

It wasn't given to me, but thanks for whoever gave the vs I-no advice, that match can be a nightmare. I basically just realized I need to be more proactive, in general I've been far too passive with my Pot play, probably because i was using PotBuster as a kind of crutch. Part of it is my own lack of skill and rustiness but I feel like a large chunk of the cast gives me a huge problem. So, any tips vs a good Ky? I can't really find a place to start offense

Yeah it's definitely good at the right distance. 6HS->HFB is preferable probably in most situations but you need to be a little bit more closer than you do for 5H->236P for that to be most effective. Only problem with 236P is that you aren't + on frames so just make sure to not get comfortable doing it too close to em

Yeah, I am just not used to charging for HF during a single normal so i was trying to learn it with 6HS since it doesn't matter how close or far you are and it has a relatively long windup, but still having trouble getting it

Anyone else play on pad? I'm having a real hard time with even 6HS->HFB Just want some reassurance that you can even do it fast enough on pad I guess... Or maybe I'm just venting my frustration like everyone else.
