Alpha 3: Q & A

Ok, I’m far too lazy to read through 100-some odd pages of stuff for this, so if you wanna yell at me/ban/warn/whatever, fine, but either answer my question or link to the answer please.

Can anyone give me some quality A-Gen or V-Gen combos? I’ve been trying to learn his play style and he’s currently my favourite character. I’m REALLY bad at this game, but I’d also really like to get better. Any tips for an A-Gen player?

Learn his pokes.

check out the new a3 vids at a-cho

lol at dhalsim match

I’ve been using Birdie recently, and I’ve become interested in his playstyle, since it’s quite challenging getting an approach and staying relaxed enough to watch for 360 openings.

Any Birdie players here can tell me what their method is for the Turn Head Butt move? Such as what buttons they hold and in what situations they usually use it?

I’ve been practicing that post-throw corner combo (b+rh->super grab) for a while. It works regardless of air-recovery which is pretty cool, but without air-recovery, the timing is weird for me still

another a3 acho update!

Are any of you guys comin to MWC there’s gonna be a big A3 tourney there. Also have any of you guys played Edma his Guy’s fuckin Insane. I was hangin wit Dhalsim but once he got in he tore me up. I mean what can I do to assure Guy or anybody for that matter not gettin in on Dhalsim thats why Im tryin to learn Cody.

lol @ that Vega on acho_zero3_20040613e

Gen and Cody on 3f were pretty sweet tho.

That match between the Rolento (RO) and Gen (Dark) was hilarious. Showdown of the poke queens!

I’m still in shock that Dark lost to another Gen player. That other Gen player rocked. I think his name was Morimoto. :o

Those Dhalsim matches were also great. Cody just kept dodging. And he actually used that sand splash move effectively. :lol:

So, umm… Apparently V-Gen has an unflippable infinite CC VC.

I didn’t know that. :o

HOLY CRAP LINKAGE TO THAT VID PLEASE!!! If it’s on DVD only then crap, but if you can, please link.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

any vid of Apoc’s Rog would be good for me.
and someone (preferrably Apoc) please answer that question…

.

I have the DVD, but no capture card or DVD burner. :frowning:

Anyway, yeah… You should just get the Evo 2k2 DVD since it’s probably exceptionally cheap by now.

It wasn’t perfect timing. The c.SK came late, from what I can tell.

Something is only truely an unblockable reset if you and your shadow are hitting both high and low on the same frame. So it’s theoretically possible to block it if it’s mis-timed by even a single frame.

That Vega (balrog) player managed to high block the demon flip, low block the c.SK, high block the demon flips shadow, then low block the shadow of the c.SK.

If you watch closely, you can see him “wiggle” at just the right moment.

Balrog on Evo DVD:
I think he said he just didn’t think of it. He played Balrog for a while, but he hadn’t gotten around to working ccs into his gameplay yet, and the result probably ended up costing him a round or two.

Good matches though. Was one milisecond away from winning that match vs Chikyuu (timed his crouching strong just BARELY wrong vs the Tengu Walking, after getting it right like 3 or 4 times in a row).

Gotta see if I can piece together a new Ryu midscreen, after seeing Fuchi use the walk cancel like that…

Anyway, a-cho seems to have updated again.

Holy Shiz-shnaps batman, that’s like the 3rd time in a row recently. Thanks, good lookin’ out.

BTW: Have you seen anyone do a Zangief OTG combo that lands 4 throws in 1 VC?

how bout some commmentary on the a-cho matches? anyone who feels up to it i mean. it’d be nice to hear some thoughts.

Hey, Drunken Master:

Got a little present for 'ya (see attachment).
