Alpha 3: Q & A

Shit? 3 Frames?? Ok, atleast it isnt a 1 frame link. Thanks a lot bowiegranap.

Unless someone tells me to take them down, I’ve uploaded the majority of the A3 matches from Absolution 2k4 via bittorrent. I’ll seed for the whole day. Kiyo’s Guy is too nasty!

Upped the Daigo vs. Masumi marathon matches. Hope this is a good thing…unless you were being sarcastic :slight_smile:

Here is the funy thing about the Daigo vs Masumi match vids. I was the one that leacked them to the net orgionaly back in 02. I still have them on my pc so no need for me to DL them again.

Check the a3 articles for starters.

Nibor! or anyone that has Advanced Karin knowledge. Tell me all her bullshit! I know general stuff about her like AA options and footsies but what is her Rekka combo sequence? The one where she ends with slide, I tried Fierce to Strong to down + short but it doesnt seem to work I dunno if I have to tighten up my timing or what!

what are the key techniques to do vism combos in Alpha 3? Let’s use zangief for example, I seem people do KK, fp, the dragon punch palm, then fp again, and so on. But when I try to do it, people keep tech out of it in the air by pressing 3xPunches. can someone post the exact notions for the vism combo i mention above.

sorry if this has been cover in the forum many times, but i can’t search through hundred something pages.

thanks

jeron, you’ve probably figured it out by now, but the sequence is fireball+punch(any), punch, D+kick. fierces will cover more on screen distance.

the only cool info i can give you on karin is how to land otg all the time. You’ll notice that every character bounces twice after a knockdown. (in this case the d+kick).

activate on first bounce, 360+k on second bounce. sorted.

Duckseason, the secret to making vcs combo is to avoid neutral state. this can be done by cancelling a normal into a special (and vice versa) repeatedly.

the vc you mentioned with 'gief is his slightly harder one. its bit easier to:

vc3: KK lariat(aa), [banishing fist, whiff c.short] to corner, whiff c.roundhouse, otg with 360+k

you see whiffing moves in vcs is extrememly important. (the whiffed banishing hand in your combo, the whiffed c.short in mine.) whiffing can gain screen distance, and avoid neutral state.

hope that helps.

this is starting to make more sense. can someone elaborate on it some more? how does that keep people from tech(3xp) in the air? or they do it anyways but you’ll be able to catch them with the combo again? can someone tell me a beginner vism combo that i can try out? any character.

thanks

The game engine only allows a character to tech flip (3xP) when their opponent is in a neutral state. By eliminating the neutral state, regardless of how much an opponent mashes the punch buttons, he will not be able to flip out.

Basic Akuma corner VC:
Activate VC1 (jab punch + short kick): hadoken, [st. FP xx hadoken] x n

Most shotos have something similar to the one above, where they knock their opponent in the air and juggle with fierce punches, using hadokens to cancel the neutral states. I left out the VC enders to keep it simple.

All 17 of the Ultimate Zero Direction vids (courtesy of MJ#R yanked from sftchina) are up at combovideos.com…you may want to rename them when you d/l, just for your own convenience. Vid 10in4-6 is a little short…if anyone has the full version, it’d be great if you could upload it to combovideos.

a-cho had a 3-on-3 A3 tourney on the 4th, so hopefully the next batch of vids up will be those.

^ hehe

new a3 up on a-cho. V-Cody is too good. LoL @ the X-Charlie user. Wtf was he thinkin?

V Sakura/Charlie Combo? after 307 of like 2000 post i thought i ask!

does anyone know how to do the v-ism ryu custom combo that daigo uses? i saw it in the absolution 2004 matches, but i cant pull it off. i was hoping one of you could break it down so that i could see each individual move. thanks

Both of you could do a simple little search and you would come up with this thread:
