Brushstr0kes 101: The Amaterasu Thread Mach II

ummm…push block?

I’m having trouble doing the Glaive OTG after a Reflector combo. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Trying to get some unblockables going with Viper’s burn kick but not getting much of it because it knocks them into the air. Any ideas?

Since it knocks them into the air jump cancel into j.:m: xx j.:h:x3 xx land xx :h::s: and then do whatever from there.

after the launch combo? maybe try doing :d::d::m: quicker. you have a long time to do the OTG after the knockdown if you’re doing MMHHH after the S

My only advice is to kind of slow down the air combo inputs a little bit so you have more time to input the 22M. Kind of like how you would do it for Akuma if you play him.

I really have to say, I envy Floe and Justin’s movement with Ammy. My Ammy looks like she’s in SSFIV =(

Does anybody know a way to combo from Ammy’s reflector counter (dp.L or M)?

Also, does anybody know if her reflector counter works against assists? I know the H will absorb assist projectiles but for some reason I was fighting and an assist hit me with what looked to be a mid and I didn’t counter it when I was doing her reflector counter.

I know that if you have THEM in the corner and you land a counter you can :d::d::m: j.:df::h: j.:qcf::s: / :m::s: /\ j.:m::m::s: j.:df::h: j.:qcf::s: elements. There is probably something better, especially if you have an assist. I’m not sure about outside of the corner.

I love ammy, she has found a place in my heart and my team, went 15th out of 60 something players for our first mvc3 tournament

team was wolv/ammy/sent

how does weapon changes work during mid combos? Im not a fan of the sword change one but I like the beads and fire shield…

You just… i dunno, change your weapon. Two main ways people do it mid combo are:

(Reflector) Some ground combo that leads to :d::h:, then you just press :d::m: (for glaive) or :d::h: (for rosary).

Or

(Reflector) Some ground combo that leads into :f::h::h::h::h::h:, you do :d::d::m: or :d::d::h:

For either of those combos to be worth anything you need to immediately follow the weapon switch with a :m:, which isn’t all that hard to do.

Are there any especially good Amaterasu players out there? TanakaForce does some great stuff on the TeamKhaos streams (blocking mid-dash, one of the only people to link two Okami Shuffles in a combo or do mid-combo weapon switches), and Justin Wong and Floe looked pretty great with her, but is there anyone else yet?

I think Ama showed a great niche for herself in the Winterbrawl Grand Finals. Justin was able to absolutely shut down Sentinel’s keep away game due to her short size and Cold Star. It forced Sentinel to move in, and she was able to avoid him pretty handily.

When she did get a chance to go offensive, she had great high/low mixups on Sentinel and the combos were big and easy.

If Sentinel remains popular (and he probably will), this gives Ama a great purpose.

this has been irking me for the longest if your going to play ammy STOP calling her REFLECTOR a fucking shield it is not a shield, to hell with captain america this is the sun goddess, another thing SHE is a WOLF not a doggie(damn felicia)

on a side note anybody know the trick for doing three OS in one combo?? so far i’ve managed to do two but somehow its like she doesnt want to do the third one…

Don’t act so butthurt, this is the internet, a post like that’ll do nothing but attract trolls and drive the thread into stupidity

Can you link to footage of an Ammy doing as such? I’d be interested to learn this as well (I’d hope it does good damage for that kind of meter though, because I like me my Vale of Mist xx Astral Vision shenanigans)

What do you guys think of Ammy’s Bloom(meter gain) assist?

It’s good depending on the team but it leaves her wide open to get BEAAAAAAAAAMED and cold star is hard to pass up really. But I guess if you have phoenix on your squad it can be really good.

It’s every bit as good as Morrigan’s, actually. She has just as short a vulnerable period, it’s just that her taunt (which can’t be hit) is longer.

Has any one got frame data from the guide? I wanna see the startup frames on counter.

I assume you mean the reflectors with the Solar Flare(fire disc):

L and M Counter: 6 frame startup, 7 recovery.
H Counter: 3 frame startup, 4 recovery.

Thanks the info. I knew they were slower than a jab… counters should be active on frame 1 IMO.

Im trying to connect a second Elements at what point do I input 3C?
