AZ Thread. hAZbats start this saturday! 1/21. Check First posts

If Cody and Guy are in the game, then I care about SFxT. If not, meh.

They were teased in a trailer several months ago; I’m somewhat surprised they haven’t been confirmed yet.

Then again, Bison was teased in that same trailer and he only just recently got confirmed.

Poison, Julia, Juri. Characters I plan on learning. Juri’s playstyle seems a little like SSF4 so I could probably pick her up easily.

Test test…finally bought that Tapatalk forum app, it’s pretty slick. Much easier to respond and read these forums than through my phone browser.

Also, I won’t play SFxT unless Mega Man is in it! AGHHHH RABBLE RABBLE

…Though, if I had the chance to play both Zero and Ibuki on the same team, I would be elated. I’m fine with just Ibuki though, never thought they were even gonna add her in!

Tapatalk is nice. That’s what I use. Faster loading, much less bandwidth, if you have a cap

Yeah, I’ve used it for a whole 10 minutes and already consider it worth the 3 bucks.

I can’t even imagine trying to read SRK on a phone without Tapatalk.

You know what I luv about my phone, i don’t buy any apps but I still got em LOL

Can’t wait to play again! I’ve been learning a brand new team (Rocket Raccoon / Hawkeye / Doom), and I really want to practice against people with it. See you guys Saturday!

Anyone know if games are going on at Armando’s tonight. I’m really loving my new team and want to get some practice in.

games tonight.

Hey, can one of you Dante players tell me why my opponent jumps out of, “Air S, Volcano, Air m, Air H, Killer Bee, Launch, Clay Pidgeon, Prop Shredder”? My opponents never jump out of it from a normal BnB.

It’s looking like I might be able to swing making it up to the ranbats this time. woop woop

j.S/Hammer causes more hitstun deterioration than your typical BnB lead-in (j.H -> LMH -> Stinger), which will make them flip out of Prop Shredder unless you have the appropriate assist (Dorm Dark Hole, Strange Eye of Agamotto, Doom Missiles called very early).

Adjust your j.S/Hammer BnB to one of the following:

j.S/Hammer -> Cold Shower xx Prop Shredder -> j.S/Hammer -> OTG stuff
[LIST]
[]Easiest variation. Prop Shredder will scale the rest of the combo pretty harshly, however.
[/LIST]
j.S/Hammer -> Volcano -> j.H xx Air Play -> Killer Bee (dive kick) -> S xx upshots xx Stinger -> BC (teleport or airdash forward if needed) -> j.S/Hammer -> Volcano xx Beehive xx Million Dollars (make sure to cancel before last hit since you used groundbounce early in this variant)
[LIST]
[
]Does more damage than first, builds less meter (so Armando says, I’m inclined to agree but haven’t compared personally). Can be done both mid-screen and corner. You can swap the second j.S/Hammer for Sky Dance, if you can get the last hit to whiff consistently (which will let you either teleport out of the corner if you cross-up, or if you’re feeling SSStylish, instead do Acid Rain -> Volcano -> j.S before the final OTG into Million Dollars)
[]You can substitute [j.H xx Air Play -> Killer Bee] for [j.MH xx Killer Bee] - reduces damage just a bit but lets you hit two guys at once for those Happy Birthdays. If you don’t want to have to practice and remember a secondary combo specifically for confirming birthdays, practice the [j.MH xx Killer Bee] variant
[/LIST]
j.S/Hammer -> Volcano -> j.H xx Air Play -> j.H -> s.H xx c.H (1 hit) xx S xx upshots xx Stinger -> BC (teleport or airdash forward if needed) -> j.S/Hammer -> Volcano xx Beehive -> Jet Stream xx Fireworks xx Million Dollars
[LIST]
[
]If doing this in the corner, jump backwards after Volcano and leave out s.H -> c.H (i.e. in corner, do Volcano -> jump back j.H xx Air Play -> S xx upshots xx Stinger -> etc.). If you still have them in the corner after the wallbounce -> j.S/Hammer, you can do Stinger -> BC Jet Stream after Volcano xx Beehive, which actually removes the need to time Jet Stream properly after the groundbounce (if not in corner, you have to leave out Stinger)
[/LIST]

Depending on what assists you use, you can squeeze in extra hard knockdowns. As an example, I have Vergil with Rapid Slash on my team, so I can do
[LIST]
[](after the second j.S/Hammer) Cold Shower + call Vergil -> superjump/teleport -> j.S/Hammer -> etc.
[
]whatever -> S (call Vergil) xx upshots -> superjump/teleport -> j.S/Hammer -> etc.
[/LIST]

Ah, ok, I think I understand that now. I always did the cold shower into prop shredder after Air s/Hammer. Somebody did the whole volcano thing to me and I probably did too many steps but they were able to get it to work on me. Also, I think it was Angelic who did this to me, how does the whole Cold shower after LV3 work? I’ve been trying it out in training but they always get up in time. I’ve tried the wave-dashing and x-factor but it won’t work. >.>

Do the dash as the level 3 animation is ending, like right when.he’s putting his sword away. Them cancel dash into cold shower cancelled into team super. I’ve only ever hit it once in a real match but I think that’s how it works.

Or you could play Zero and j.H ALL THE THINGS

j.H ALL THE THINGS?? I j.H all the things with Dante though. Anyways, thanks, I’ll try it out next time I get a chance. Hopefully I do better this Saturday and not lose to everything that has a sentinel on their team.

If you hit with a raw level 3, you should be able to dash-up OTG xx Prop Shredder afterwards (unless the hitstun changes in Ultimate made that impossible). For extra SSStylish points, you can actually dash-up Volcano xx Beehive after Dante’s level 3 (or you could in vanilla, odds are you still can in Ultimate). As Muji said, buffer the dash during the end of the level 3’s animation.

When someone calls out Sentinel, try to hit Sentinel somehow, if possible (for Dante, jump-back charged Air Play would do the trick). It will make the drones disappear, sparing you the trouble of dealing with the mixup that will be coming your way otherwise. Good players will be covering Sentinel until the drones are hitting you, though, so sometimes you’ll just be stuck blocking.

Time for another last minute QCF announcement for LAN. KoF13 (PS3) is going to be at the next LAN on the 27th. This is the night before Super Marvel Madness 4. Expecting to see everyone from Neomaxico there participating.

WooT! I did it! :smiley: I usually always tried the dashing after he was done putting away the sword. Thanks guys!
