Brushstr0kes 101: The Amaterasu Thread Mach II

If you want lockdown assist to help your approach… Doomrocks and Chunkicks are awesome examples. It just depends on your the kind of gameplan you want with your team, obviously…

I’m giving her Pekaboo and Rocks.

Underwhelming AD? I thought that too until I played the game and was baiting fools. Shit goes full screen and has AMAZING runaway potential.

chun li legs assist for me for everything

Honestly I think the assist you pick depends on how you plan to play her, she seems to have a shit load of options in terms of playstyles and I fail to see any glaring weaknesses in her basic game so I think it comes down to how you wanna play her.

Yea im gonna have to experiment with rocks methinks. HATE Chun for some reason, despite her assist being really strong, so im gonna have to eliminate that from my options. :stuck_out_tongue: Also, forgive me for being scrub, but pekaboo?

And i shouldve been more specific on the air dash. When i say underwhelming, I meant as a pressure tool. I can definitely see the runaway potential there. And i think thats probably my favourite thing about Amaterasu. The versatility.

That’s Trish’s trap assist.

I mean tridashing isn’t there and although it can be canceled at any time I hope eventually it would get used with pressure eventually.

Her elements-super is now called the Okami Shuffle, officially.
Just in case you wanted to know

FUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKK THAT. I’m still saying Elements. People still call Ice Storm “Hail Storm”

Elements.

Okami shuffle sounds like something you do at a 50’s themed japanese dance party.

that is a awfully named hyper

do you guys like ammy better as a first character, second or third?

first = point or battery designed to die.

as point does ammy really have the goods? i dont really think so… hp is to low imho.
so in my mind that leaves battery. which is good i think. second is as a primary meter user… ammmy has good use for meter so i think 2nd is theoretically her strongest position if the first is a battery character. i dont yet know what ammy would bring to a 3rd position?

-dime

She has blockstrings for days. Low health didn’t mean shit for Strider on point. She probably not even the lowest 4 in hp. Her loop and damage output and runaway options more than make up for it.

I keep hearing things about this ‘loop’. Sorry for asking all these dumb questions in quick succession, but are there any videos of it? And do we have any notation?

And yea. No reason she wouldnt make a decent point. I dont think shes meter dependant, so theres no real reason to conserve meter for her. She can make good use of it, but its not a necessity. Only thing i disagree with there is that I dont think ‘blockstrings for days’ really means a heck of a lot when pushblocking sends you back so far in this game. Or even due to pushblocking in general. Plus there are potentially assists that will shut that down as well. (Although at this point outside of maybe Ryu’s srk assist there havent been any that have been glaringly obvious) I do think her ground speed will be particularly useful in this regard. Her only real weakness it seems is that because her AD is unconventional, she doesnt seem that mobile in the air on offense.

low hp don’t mean that much , she has more than enough tools to make up for it and its not even that low + she has a tiny hitbox

but i wont have her on point i plan on having either storm or iron man on point but thats just how i plan on playing

Notation?

For example, the ‘notation’ for her bnb in WGE’s vids is

A, B, C, C, c.C, C, c.C, C, E -> j.B, j.B, j.C, j.C, j.C

Just wanted to fix this for you, since AG would own her blockstrings without an assist.

Did you read the 1st post? Alot of people don’t these days huh?

Fine…homie

Im NEVER going to get used to calling it Advanced Guard over Pushblocking.
