I remember hearing about a 3 girl team of X-Chun’s that demolished Daigos team in Japan with just throw tactics.
And Rose is far better than people give her credit for, shes a great all round character.
Honda countering Sak? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Honda vs Sak match, but Honda’s pokes might be able to out prioritise Sakuras pokes. And for people who say Sakura can beat Honda’s headbutt, why would he be using the headbutt against pokes anyways? Honda doesnt seem like a guy who should rely on his specials too much.
eh, i win all my a3 tourneys we still have for the most part. i mainly use, v-akuma, v-cody, mixed in with some x/a-ryu, x-rog, v-charlie, v-sagat, a-ken, v-chun, v-sodom, v-sim
i like to have good variety so i have an answer to every matchup
We got raped badly? No we didn’t. 3s team got owned. Choi won 3-2 and me and Danny won 2 each. I tied exactly on rounds. Won 7, lost 7, 1 double K.O. That isn’t raped. If Valle or Cole had won a game or two we’d have been in good shape. I remember one round where Cole completely decimated Bas. Still lost but, not raped.
We’re having A3 here in Vegas on the 18th and MW regionals in IL will have it as well as N-Cubed.
Q: still know this isn’t the place to answer this but in the vc thread but in the first cody VC IF i go to the corner do i repeat s.Fierce, Jab tornado but in the third i think, the tornado hits do i still do that or is there another way?
i’m asking this because here it is faster to have an answer.
-can somebody fill me in on how A-honda counters V-sak? i think sabre was the one who said that, but i just don’t see why. i think sakura has too much going for her, irregardless of the fact that one match shows her losing to A-honda.
edit your post popoblo. its not wise to advertise where to get a bootleg copy of evolution dvd’s. and im sure whoever makes the nec dvd’s wouldnt be too thrilled either. that is grounds for a banning. you been warned.
i didnt comment on the honda match. i just think th ehonda player is like 9384759837458937495 times better than the sakura player
no no no no, i’m saying ON the evo dvd and the nec3 dvd you can find footage of A3. i own both of them and bought them legally. and besides, drfunkenstein doesn’t allow people to share evo stuff on his hub to my knowledge.
and i only gave links to the A3 A-cho footage and the go for broke hub. i never said, “get on the go for broke hub and you’ll find stuff from the evo/nec3 dvd’s.”
is there still something wrong with my post? i’ll edit it if there is, i’m just saying that if you buy the DVD’s, they include A3 footage.
Like Sabre said, Honda doesn’t counter Sak more than any other mid-tier character… Its just that one match, that sakura player wasn’t effective. We could have just VC’ed his headbutt from long range… plus that Honda player looked like he mastered the character.
For all you v-cody players (or for anyone really) something i’ve been doing more of lately is “just-defending” in order to get the blue flash when i block. What this does is make you take half guard meter damage and its very useful with v-cody because of his low guard bar, but it can be useful for anyone in a tight situation. Its fairly easy to do against jump ins (on wake-up especially).
GP blocking (the block where you flash blue when you move the joystick backwards just as something hits you) lessens the amounnt of damage done to your Guard Crush gauge. And since Cody has the shortest GC bar in the game, it’s helpful to him. But since Cody dodges most mid attacks automatically, Nibor pointed out how it can still be used vs jumpins.
Anyone know if the All About Zero 3 is of use if you don’t read any Japanese? All I can read are katakana, but I heard that there are a lot of illustrations and number data (like pixels and throw ranges…)
And A3 may be at the NorCal Regional tournament at SVGL in the middle of November. Everyone in the area should show anyway, because it’s gonna be big…
i always try to emualte jd when playing a3 if possible. if not, i just hit a button as soon as an attack hits. cuz not only does blocking at the right moment cause blue block( thats what ive always called it over the years heh), but so do button presses. its mainly useful for cody with all the repeated crossup,sweep gc loop. thats all he has to save him. i been using the blue block to my advantage for a while now. especially when blocking ryu hadou rave or sim corner vc. you can just spaz on the stick from back to d/b constantly and get a ton of blue blocks
