Want to play a few games on XBL? If our connection's good. I want to see how you play.
-
This is not how you become a member of the community. :8/:
-
It can just get boring.
-
Damn. There goes my plan. :P
-
How much room is there between 2C > 3C? Could they counter or reversal in between?
-
I don't think Yukikaze is faster. I think the recovery on Lambda's D moves are longer, so she doesn't have time to escape.
-
The changes wuku listed just blew my mind. So you can Yukikaze against Lambda's D swords and she can't do anything about it? All those moves are air unblockable? Damn. Also it looks like we can get some followup combos on counters after all, at least.
-
Anyone want to take a crack at translating Haku stuff?
-
I thought it hit high? I do know basic things about Noel; I used to mess around with her in CT. :P The only blockstring I knew was the one you listed and sometimes throwing in 2D > 236D to get myself out of trouble. :P Yeah, there usually isn't something repeated that often... Are there any specific moves that she has to land to get you into the corner (ie., moves to look out for) or is it pretty much off anything?
-
Hey Danny, can you give me some typical Noel blockstrings? I want to try doing some in training mode so I can practice blocking them, although I remember a few just from memory. Or is it all just freestyle?

The Michigan Thread 10 - You Gonna Get Taken Home.

Yeah, I saw how Alz would slowly 2A you, that way he could react to a drive instead of already being committed to something. I definitely noticed how you were playing much differently, and could tell it was because of conditioning. The only question is how he conditioned you since my opponent isn't automatically going to start off in that state; I have to lead them there, and if I can't then they are going to be able to do a lot more. One problem, I suck at IBing. Unless it's Tager, lewl. I really need to record a few matches. :P Right now I tend to counter the 5Ds and 2Ds when I can, but with 5D, which is his slow and uncomboable counter. I bet if I replaced it with j.D (4.5k damage instead of 1.5k) it would change things a bit. Also you were doing pretty good against Alzarath. Anyway, I'll work on implementing your advice. -
The Michigan Thread 10 - You Gonna Get Taken Home.

Yeah, I just have a long ingrained habit of pretty much blocking out everything out rather than trying to mash out of a move, unless I've become very comfortable with fighting the character. There's something satisfying about completely reading the opponent's blockstrings and having them throw everything they have at you and end up flailing uselessly. What I rely on to break pressure is counters instead, but that requires getting used to what they're throwing out. Tell him how I play Luna :P I do need to try and interrupt some moves though, like her 6B. I just don't react fast enough right now. Actually I could probably j.D it... I was punishing 3C more last time we played though. I'm still used to looking out for her CT stuff. -

What. :P Well, it's all conditioning. Hakumen can't pressure against mashers either, even though his frame traps are awesome. You have to respect pretty much all his moves. Once you scare them into blocking though then you can start working on them. That's part of why I can't do anything to your Noel. I can't scare you into blocking because you can just D through my attacks if I start going too heavy on frame traps so I have to take it slower. -

If someone is going to try and mash you out of your pressure, can't you frame trap them? Unless it's something like Inferno Divider. -
I think my offense was better this time around, or at least I got in on you more, but I felt like my defense suffered. I guess it's been too long since I had to block Carl's shenanigans. Do you always go for a j.2C crossup, or is it sometimes a fake crossup? Does it look different? Man I'm pretty sure those were in CT but I'm forgetting everything I knew
-
The tickets are around $250-$300, or at least were for me, for one way. But it depends on the timing of when you get it. Sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down but that's about the range it's at. That's not counting the hotel fee though. It's good if you bring a friend or two, or room with some other players, so you can split it. I went with my brother and Keir Tendril and the room came down to around $250 or so per person.
-
Yeah, stick is worse. :P Awesome. Just watch out for those food prices. I ended up paying almost as much for food as I did for my plane ticket. You have to find the right places to eat or you're going to get raped.
-
Fake oki?

If you only got the game four days ago, then there is no way you're going to be that different from your friend. You're expecting to get too good too fast. It took my friends months before they knew what they were doing. Just play and get experience. If you're getting beat by someone doing random stuff then it just means you haven't developed your capabilities enough to punish them to make them not want to do it. Also if you're fighting someone who just flails around then there's no point in trying for more advanced things like mixup as mixup only works by fooling the player into thinking you're doing option X instead of Z. But you can't fool them if they're not even looking for what you're going to do or have no idea what you can do. Mixup is only something that comes in at more advanced levels of play. At your level you just want to punish unsafe moves and learn what goes into what, what to look out for, that kind of thing.

Back hop Hotaru can be good for spacing. I'm not sure about back hop Tsubaki...
-
I was using a stick.
You might want to go to EVO if you want to go to any big American event. Might as well go all the way if you're going to go. :P
But anyway, the random systems and controllers is just part of the tourneys. I just roll with it. They used to be 360s but everyone uses PS3s now. -
Also it kind of sucks we can't play. I always wanted to play some of you PS3 Hakus.
-
Thanks. I did OK. I couldn't really play for real since those tournies are all ps3 and I use 360 pad, so I pretty much go to goof around and hang out with the other players. :P Somehow I always get 13th. I don't think I would have beaten the people who placed ahead of me anyway though.
-
I kept trying to 2D your j.2C and failing miserably. :P It's kind of weird that it's not an overhead... I still react to it like it is.
