Best K Groove

Im not going this week, maybe next week.

Actually I will go next week or the one after, but I’ll definately be at the may tournament…

Shinneosnake, actually we’ve played before anyway…

We did? what team did you play? and when?

I use K-Sagat/Geese,Eagle/Guile.:cool:

My team these days is

K- Geese,cammy,Sagat R2

I notice the japanese use geese a lot more than we do. I wonder if blanka instead of sagat would be better. Then again i dont think blanka is that good in k. Just my opinion

The Japanese consider Cammy, Geese, Blanka r2 (it may be Geese r2, I forget) to be the best K team.

Blanka is good in K because he isnt meter reliant, and when hes raged, he becomes more dangerous, and he gets the threat of super, whihc makes people more cautious.

There are more reason why Blanka is good in K, I cant think of anymore, hopefully someone else can elaborate on why K-Blanka is considered Top Tier

Low Jump!!!. And JD is almost a free sweep every time.

k - scrub cbs

and the fact that cross up electricity does like 20% block damage when raged…REDICULOUS…theres no other character that gets THAT much free block damage…STYUUUPID…

i dont know what the best k groove team is but i would say something like…geese/cammy/sagat (this is actually one of my main teams)…and the ratio2 doesnt really matter on that team and you can mess around with placing ratio 2 in the middle or beginning because of the characters on that team and the advantages you get from being raged…i actually think this is one of the teams that makes team formation improtant in k groove…

so here is a list of k groove teams i think are the best of the best…

blanka/sagat/geese
geese/cammy/sagat
geese/cammy/blanka
CBS

there are some other teams that are good, but the teams i listed above to ME are not ratio2 specific, meaning it doesnt matter who your ratio 2 is, so you can work on strategizing on formation. The other good teams are ratio 2 specific so i dont think they are as good as the ones above…

well i’m the best k groove player in the northern hemisphere and i use terry/raiden/ken or kyo/yamazaki/geese therefore any of those teams are the best

I liked sigley better when he was actually funny.

damn i’m not trying to be funny i’m serious, who else has more consistant top places solely with k groove?? most people who use k switch back when they loose their first match. and i’m white too so i have an uphill struggle, and i do no combos! imagine if i was another race and did combos, the east coast would be done, but putting like an hour or two into learning combos for chars i use is too much of a commitment for me right now.

I play K only in tournaments and place well in tournaments… K-Bison, Sagat, Blanka.

Maki :slight_smile:

sbo japan qualifier k-groove teams:

Sagat, Geese, Cammy
Kyo, Cammy, Sagat
Kyo, Rock, Hibiki
Sagat, Cammy, Blanka
Mai, Hibiki, Sagat

Gotta love this guy :smiley: he plays a very “modern” Hibiki.

Hmm

Quick question for those who know…
Can you small jump then JD? I have tried many times and cant work it.

Anyways, my teams are pretty simple so it all comes down to mood.

Tourney team:
K - Blanka, Geese, Sagat R2

Others (In no particular team or order)
Yamazaki
Hibiki
Haohmaru (Yes… Haohmaru and hes a damn monster)
Vice (Sick, early j+lk or early sj+lk to kick super means FREE damage)
Iori

I do mess around with other chars. a lot. Im beginning to like Terry more and more.

K groove is by damn near the best groove only second to P MAYBE(Based on soul fact of less stun from main sub system). Gain life by blocking. Damn near a free hit or super of a JD. Sometimes a throw or two which is great when you have throw superiority like Yama or Cammy.

What other characters are nice for K groove besides like Maki, Im thinking of picking her up.

Also good advice against RC A groovers like Sakura (who is a naughty girl roll canceled :lol: ) From what I heard, its just best to JD first hit of custom combo then counter attack.

a sak is death for k groove…

hehe i like ur list, i used vice and haohmaru as well… but then ppl just started to pick P and K vs my haohmaru and no more fierce slashes for me :frowning: vice does too much damage though =)

Hmm

Nope.

Tell your opponents to hold UP after your jumpkick…

“Throw superioirity”??? No such thing AFAIK. Not for them anyways…

Have fun trying… AFAIK, the only hole is when she cancels from one DP into the next. But I don’t know if it’s always ther or only after so many hits or what.

ex: CC, s.HP, DP, [hole], DP, [hole], DP, etc.

Nope, there is no hole.

That JD into a counter hit was only a good Tiger uppercut (Very fast move) which was done after Jding not a Shououken but a Standing HP after cc activation.
