I feel you. Though I understand not everyone has the tools to record at their own cribs or things don’t go right when recording is planned on taking place. I would like to post more footage myself of stuff that I’m referring to. I planned on linking some footage of UnknownEnemyZero (Clockwork) vs myself (Akuma Teams) in our ft10 yesterday, but he missed out on grabbing his camera. It would help a TON as far as sharing ideas and such with others, so I’m on the same boat as Tech right now. Expect newer footage from me within the next 2mnths as I will be getting my own camcorder and traveling the tourney scene more. I posted some footage of me in play with a few teams on Youtube during my inexperienced Marvel days using my gfs camera (she moved to Fl…and I may soon as well ), so I would really like to post some recent footage.
On another note, It would be cool to see some Shoult vs Mix-up. Rep that Fl homies!!! I’m not looking for GDLK, b/c Marvel does not have the GDLK feel since it’s been so explored (which is a lie, but I don’t want there to be any pressure), but I do know you guys have some mean tricks up your sleeves…and Mix-up’s execution is no game. I’ve really picked up my pad stuff, but it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth at the end of the day when I think about getting my own stick (is that even possible?!? bitter taste?!? ftw?!? more like tired fingers lol).
EDIT: For the record, one of my matches yesterday ended up being UEZ’s lone Sentinel vs my Ken (I don’t think it was a lone Ken…). Sent was playing run-away-punish so I went into battery mode. I had nothing to lose, so there was no need to chase him. I began to sj. hp in different patterns while Sent flew full-screen away. Ken scores the win in the air by trading his sj.hp w/ Sent’s RP. You have no idea how hype that moment was. sigh
Definitely believe there should be ratios. It might be confusing at first but it will be fine as we go on. Without ratios, teams with 3 top tier assists will dominate.
Banning on
Top 4
Cyclops
Iron Man
War Machine
Blackheart
Spiral
Dhalsim
Choosing not to ban Doom or Strider because both should be Ratio 2. One without the other is alot easier to fight against as opposed to both on the same team.
Ratio 2 is probably all the top assists and some other people which I’ll think about in my posts later on
Yep. Good point. I’m curious though, so a person could just infinitely do that Burnt Sakura’s version of Asura Warp and be virtually invincible to all attacks? I would assume she would still be vulnerable to things that are nonphysical (i.e., don’t do chip to Iceman). There has to be at least a small window of vulnerability if not then, right? During the input? I’ve only had to fight against such a tactic once and it was versus EricV. I think he did it like 3-4x in a row and just basically passed through everything seamlessly. I didn’t really get the time to toy with hitting him out of it, as 1) I was getting annoyed, and 2) he only picked her once. Just for the record, I picked Dhalsim after that match…he got me with MSP.
Thats a very good point but here’s the difference between sak and sim. SIM can fuck up his air teleport and still judge what sides he’s on while maintaining a height thats still unapproachable.
With sakura if your character is fast enough which doesn’t need to be that fast, you can crossup sakura as she recovers making her quickly react on that teleport input not to mention she needs 3 bars to hor that out.
Its still something that should be considered though. I’m not sure what I think of it really. It does take 3 bars for sak to get that advantage and w\o that bar, she’s not super dangerous on point and her priority isn’t extreme from what I remember about her.
If she’s on point, teleporting all day is just cheesy with tron not to mention that teleport is an AA w\in itself.
hmmm…
the way I see it right now, I say let her in and see if she fights for the top spot but I’m seriously doubting that.
can’t really say but there are pro’s and cons to it. She’ll be super good run away if you had th timing strictly down. I just realized that you probably can teleport backwards over and over so there won’t be a mixup you can use to trick her. Also, that mixup where you crossup the opponent’s input doesn’t matter because they’ll just teleport the other way duh? Maybe twitch guard might lock her into place for 1 frame if you time an early tron vs her who knows.
You’ll never hit her from an above angle because she can just teleport any position attempt @ all. Then she probably could fake teleport shit. She’ll be able to win positioning all day.
Maybe something like teleport away, teleport onto point, normals+tron?
or teleport away, teleport onto point, point tries to counter her sak with assist, sak does short teleport instantly and is out of range of the helper and can now punish with tron.
that right there will loop over and over and it would be pretty hard to stop if the teleport does work like that. Thats something top tiers would have a hard time with easily because you just can’t hit her.
Hilarious. Wasn’t there mention some time ago, that a lot of Japanese players revealed their secret weapon for EVO to be Sakura? How did that go? It is safe to assume that it didn’t go too well. =)
It makes me laugh to think about Burnt Sakura doing that, but it soon pisses me off that they didn’t give it BACK to Akuma.
What I can’t understand is why they would even give that sort of thing to Sakura and not Gouki. Its not like Sunburnt Sakura takes more damage when she transforms or something.
I guess we Gouki players just have to be very prudent and careful with our teleports.
yea iirc, there was an early japan tier listing where they had sak way up on the ladder. wasn’t it like top 10 or something for the very reason of her teleport but there are problems with that.
You’ll need to find a team that will allow 3 bars worth of meter all for sak. Said team would need to be able to fight tops and have very few counter matchups going against it.
Since its 0 recovery 0 startup, how many times is it possible to jframe that over and over? thats very hard to do consistently imo. You could very well end up doing that input 50-100 times a round and 1 fuck up could be the end of her. Thats a good bit of jframe inputs JUST to make her effective.
I may be wrong here but saks teleport joins a small list of wake up options in marvel. It would be really hard to mixup her up after KD’s.
but this is all just theory marvel. I do believe that a master sak player would be just be retarded to witness though.
i was diggin through my mini archive of low tier jap stuff ive found here and there, and there’s quite a few with sak teams.
nothing of that potential retard caliber though. i’ll post up if i can find a youtube link otherwise i’ll link to the site i got em.
but goddamn Sintaisokutei vid series is wtf retarded-- godlike hayatos, jins, colossi (colossuses?), shit-ton of thanos, chunners, son-son is/was retarded over there, and a psylocke/hulk/thanos opening move that made me change my pants after.
