one-armed dwarf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 What are you guys favourite matchups in this as your mains? For me it's Millia cause most people who play her seem really good at keeping you under pressure and they feel like an intense sparring session, then oddly Sol for the exact opposite reason that they're so predictable lol. At least on the floors I'm on. I'm at the point I don't accept Chip matches because they jump around too much and if you have any bit of framerate or rollback lag at all it becomes sickening.

HandsomeDead Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 I haven't come across many Nago users since release since everyone in the beta couldn't manage his blood metre at all so you'd just wait for him to pop. I just thought it was funny. But I'll play anyone. But obviously I like playing people who use uncommon characters just so you can build experience. It's always nice to see an Anji or Zato.

Maf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I like anyone who isn’t Faust. EDIT: And May. Bitch get that dolphin outta here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I haven't had any problems with May weirdly, despite all the memes. btw I want to say when you land I-No's command grab super and kill someone with it it has to be the most satisfying sick ass anime power fantasy shit in this game, I'm not sure any other ability in the game comes close from what I've seen. But it has to be the grab version, killing people with the ranged one just feels lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Which one is the unblockable one? Is that the grab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Just yesterday you were talking about how difficult you found it to do supers now you're like 'doing a super which requires really close range sounds cheap'. I did your dumb combo, maybe you should land the I-No super against a real person ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I can’t land a super because they block. Seems like yours skips that bit of skill required is all I’m saying… I’ll be back on this tomorrow night anyway. I’m done with Burnout and my thumb is better.

one-armed dwarf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 You can combo into those supers though, therefore removing the block problem. Seems kinda cheap when you think about it, being able to combo into supers like that? ??? At least that's what I reckon. A red flag of scrubbiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Who is you? I ain’t combo in to nothing. Because it’s difficult and something that has to be earned. High class manoeuvre. Instead of, y’know, standing next to someone and grabbing them when they have no chance. Discount win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 You can neutral jump a command grab and they're very punishable. Come on guys, this is some schoolyard nonsense complaining about throws. I'd have to check but I think you're throw invincible for a few frames during a back dash* *There seems to be some contention at how invincible according to the nerds.

Maf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I’m only messing about it being cheap. I play UI Goku I have no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'm just really bad at throws in this game in general, the one I mentioned has to have you in such close range to pull off. I think I've only seen it happen twice. I dunno if the range of the throw is closer than normal throws, I think it must be. Probably says it in the training. I did have a fun match with a Ram where at the last round of the last set she used her big lazor and I blocked, then I did my lazor version of the special and she blocked, then she did her one again and I blocked but couldn't survive the chip damage. All pretense at skill and execution out the window, this is now a contest of shooting big lazors at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 After getting demoted back to 4 for being really really bad and losing all the time I'm back on 5 again and I think playing I-No sort of showed me how little of the game I understood while playing as Gio. Cause I'm seeing even floor 6 Sol's who are just sort of unable to figure out how to deal with some of my shit cause they can't just spam bandit bringer like a gorilla all the time cause I'll punish that shit. Like mechanically I'm making the connections that didn't really feel solid when I was on floor 6 with Gio and just wrecking shit like a gorilla, so slowly climbing up again has been a benefit Unfortunately my thumb is so destroyed it resembles Ethan Winter's hand and I poured lots of beer onto it to make it better but it's not helping, so that game definitely lied to me about a few things.

HandsomeDead Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 I finally took Leo online and it went really well. Of course I was quickly kicked out of floor 7 but after a while I was getting more confident and then a decent string of wins soon followed. I don't even have an RC combo I just took it slow and (slightly) smart. I struggled at first because Leo is much slower than Gio but he has so much more range with his normals so playing a simple spacing game got me far. I've not go a good mix-up game yet but simple stuff worked for now. He has a lot of tools in that area, I'm looking forward to using the side switching. Since I found myself on floor 8 I think I'll have to go to the lab and learn some RC stuff. I was mostly using it to cancel whiffed DPs and projectiles so I could follow them. I feel good about him. I'm being nearly as successful as I was with Gio but with her I couldn't think of many ways to improve but I have loads with Leo. Heaven looks possible.

one-armed dwarf Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 My thumb is too busted too play now, but I was watching this Max vid and here's a good way to setup that Gio ground super if maf is still having problems with getting his shit blocked Dragon Penetration -> S -> Super btw, I saw you can taunt in this game and the temptation to do so against a Nago that couldn't control his blood was too strong Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hey, @one-armed dwarf do you have a plan against someone who knows how to use 6P (forward P for you)? Because just doing it 3 times early on made this person go straight to plan B. Do you have a plan B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 My plan B is B for Bad, because I don't know how to fight that character yet. So consider yourself lucky if we ever meet. is 6P that anti air where he lights up? I will probably spam touch the big tree or whatever it's called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
