Alpha 3: Q & A

See, this is a perfect example of something that’s been discussed to death…

Try searching for it.

sorry but i have searched and searched for it and whenever people talk about the move it’s just “OTG Demon flip throw” they never say the input command. I know it’s semi circle forwards/up with fierce bet the throw part is bafflin me.

Oh thanks dude ^.^ you truly are a king amongst men ^.^

Just a little tip for Bison players, learn the range of all your scissors kicks, they can become quite valuable as pokes and trappers, since a scissors kick can reach vertically as well to hit people in the air, also if ranged properly a counter 1 hit scissor kick can be juggled from in the corner.

Also in some cases a 1 Hit counter hit scissors kick can juggle into another cr. SP scissors kick mid screen if your quick.

Theoretically it might be possible to follow it all the way into the corner for a cr. SP >> Stomp

Nibor’s Cody = 100% solid. HELLA good games at CF man.

Yea man, i’m glad we got to play (i really like your A-guy btw, consistently getting off every combo and making good opportunities etc) we got some great games in. Too bad i was away for most of the weekend :bluu: . Oh well, hope you had a good time in NY. I’ll see you at evo.

Anyone got stuff to share with V-Rose? All I could find was this:

Well that, and he says there’s an unblockable glitch that he’s taking to the grave with him… :lol:

Any good infinite setups? I tried shadow-hit stuff but can’t get anything to work… Tried some let-them-flip-and-THEN-shadow-hits stuff but can’t get anything good for all flips. :bluu:

I like meaty low strong stuff (links into VC, wee) but I pretty much just play her like A, but without supers… :confused:

Third one DOES go through fireballs I found out, at least quick ones. I don’t know about Bison’s Psycho Shot or Dee Jay’s broken, broken shit.

Other minor corrections being that for the Anti-air VC (at the bottom of the second paragraph, you have to VC really late vs some moves like Sak’s jumping Short, or you’ll be hit out of it. Also you don’t have to whiff the first Soul Spiral. And the unblockable thing only seems to work on the Saturn version (though I’ve only really tested it on the Saturn and DC versions, so…). I think it may have worked once on the arcade version, but I don’t know if the other guy’s stick just went out or something.

I found some cc setup that was like, VC3 juggle with b+FP, whiff Jab Soul Reflect in the corner until your meter gets low, b+RK twice and cancel the second one into a Fierce Soul Reflect or something, and they’ll be hit if they Air Recover either forwards or backwards. I don’t remember if it hits if they don’t air recover at all though. hah.

Most convenient infinite setup would be VC1 juggle with b+FP xx whiff Jab Soul Reflect, c.SP -> jumping whatever. They get hit by the shadow of the crouching Strong, and they can’t escape because you’re already jumping and thus no longer in a neutral state. Be sure to do a jumping Strong as your meter runs out so they get hit by the shadow of the j.SP and bounce higher.

Attached list of stuff from my FAQ, though I should probably get to updating that.

Tried the d.MP shadow hit thing… but they could still flip. I couldn’t find one shadow hit move that would let it work for me… Maybe I’m timing the shadow wrong? :stuck_out_tongue:

Hrm… Wouldn’t MP reflect be better AA?

I’ll work on that 3rd one. Usually I walk through FBs and go for the low MP into drill… but sometimes I’m not close enough to continue after the drill.

DJ could prolly block even after you go thru his FB anyhow… :stuck_out_tongue:

Oops… I’m a scrub. shadow hit low MP does work. :smiley:

thanks TS.

Anybody here have a decent Ryu and Akuma faq they can give a link to? Basic information in order to be good with these characters.

Also what is the best mode for Ken?

I think M Quiambao’s Rose FAQ on GameFAQ’s is more informative on playstyle for the Shotos than any of the other FAQ’s there. Just check the matchup section in the FAQ.

Thanks I will check it out. But why are they in Rose’s faq? Are the individual faqs good also, ryu? and akuma? cause I’ve heard bad things about gamefaqs.

Most FAQs are merely combo lists, with advice like, use a dragonpunch when they jump.

gamefaqs is a good resource…just not for street fighter. Im sure you can find 1 or 2 good ones out there, i know a found a couple for tekken tag when i played, but i have yet to see a good sf faq.

Can anyone give me some hints to play good against an aggresive X/A-Zangief? I use mainly V-Charlie, V-Ryu and have some problems against this char (especially with Charlie).

Use Dhalshim

or Deejay. :stuck_out_tongue: DJ owns X-Gief

How is he beating your V-Charlie? I thought he had the upper hand vs non-V Gief.
