k kyo/rock/r2cammy
a mai/sakura/r2 bison
Hey, thanks for the feedback all, R2 Geese sounds pretty nasty. I’ll have to read up on Blanka and see how to fight him to the best of the team’s ability.
Just out of curiousity, can Rock and Geese’s counters stop a RC Blanka Ball?
I would assume Geese can since it’s more of a throw, but I was thinking Rock would whiff it since his is more of a counter attack, I dunno. Anyone know?
yes they can, but while geeses counters have instant startup, rocks dont sadly.
Really? Doesn’t Rock’s work against meaty RC elec? Don’t remember it’s been a while since I played Rock but I’m sure it does
Lots of geese love around here lately.
no, it doesnt.
While it’s true that K teams don’t really need synergy to play well, you still have to be careful.
Say I put K-Akuma, Morrigan, Whoever. That’s a bad choice for the first two, since they both have bad matchups against nearly the same people, so you may get steamrolled at the beginning of a match. Just make sure the first and second kinda get around counter picks. And make sure your team has an answer for A-Sakura in some way, shape, or form.
It randomly works on electricity cause electricity isnt always hitting, it hits in pulses if that makes sense so if the counter comes out in between pulses itll hit. But rock’s counters arent instant like Geese. Record Bison sliding into you as you get up and try to wakeup counter and youll see what i mean. Geese can and Rock can’t. However Rock’s counters whiff alot faster so they are safer to use in general play, so that’s the tradeoff I suppose.
Geese is sexy yo.
Hmm ive never used this thread before. It seems pretty insightful though so ill give it a shot. Lets see I am currently using N honda, terry, Blanka with Blanka as the ratio 2. this team seems to do well at times, but it seems small quick characters just eat my team up. Any changes i can make? Say like replacing Honda with hibiki? Also i have a K team that used to be my main team K Akuma, Joe, R2 Blanka. Like the N team it did well, but i started to get my ass kicked aften because i was relying too much on the Green Beast. Any suggestions on Amendments to my K team?
i like your n team. terry as a user in n groove is funky fresh
Interesting topic… :lovin:
My current team is K-Groove Cammy, Ken, and r2 Sagat. No real “team” dynamic, just three strong individuals I’m good with.
For a better example of a “team” with which I have a long-term plan is N-Groove Iori, Ken, and r2 Sagat. My Iori relies on a lot of rushdown and staying in close. His goal is to fill up bar and maybe take out the first person on the opposing team. Ken will usually do the most damage, I’ll use a charge to power-up but I usually don’t super unless I have a golden combo setup. My Ken is pretty well balanced, I can rush down with shorts and such or hang back and counter-attack with DPs and the like depending on the situation. I want to have a full bar if Sagat comes in. Sagat is the clean-up guy, and it is with him that I go all out with regards to using bar. My Sagat is straight distance play, hanging back and using his reach to keep the opponent at bay until I get a chance to land that super. Even if I can’t super, the power-up adds to Sagat’s already good damage on his distance game.
I’m working on learning some other characters such as Terry, Hibiki, Rock, Maki, Vega, and Kyo (all in K, I’ve been playing nothing but K recently after being a long-time proponent of N-Groove), but my skills with them are nowhere near the level I need them to be. So I have a stable of characters that are pending. I’d learn Blanka but I’ve always hated charge characters.
I just don’t know why but I always figured the “clean-up” guy, such as Sagat does his best when sitting on meter when you’re ahead because you’re user did his job and did it well.
N-Ken should be good to go though, nice N-Team
Honda is a beast man, use that short jump RH and learn to RC hands. The lack of dashing might hurt Blanka in N but I think short jump makes up for it.
My usual team (when I had no idea on the theory behind the game) was K-Joe/Geese/Guile(2). Right now I’m playing with C-Geese/Bison/Guile(2) (Yeah, I like playing with Geese and Guile). I feel that the C-Groove team is more solid than my K-Groove team, but I have tried changing the R2 from Gule to Geese and it works like a charm. I have also been thinking about changing Joe for Haohmaru. Any groove/member/order/ratio changes that you would like to suggest? Any comments will be greatly appreciated :).
Is Iori, ken, Sagat(r2) your order? If so,
I like ken first, because he’s the kind of character that uses more meter than iori(at least my N-ken does). I tend to use combo into lvl 1 alot with ken, and I don’t like him not having access to his lvl 1s to save for my r2. Also, his combo into lvl 3 kick super owns. Just think about having ken first.
I use variations of K - vega/guile/blanka r2/sagat r2. most of the time its vega/guile/blanka r2 since im not as good with sagat yet.
Sometimes ill use C honda/guile/blanka but mainly K is my groove.
Should I just take out guile / vega and replace them with sagat as a r1? I seem to win more often with Sagat but im still not that consistent with him. Any suggestions as to a new character? I was thinking of Joe since I heard he wasnt bad but I’m still not sure.
If you’re good with guile then guile/blanka/sagat r2 is your team. A good test of if you are good with guile is, do you have a hard time fighting sagat with him? If you do you should drop him and use vega or practice for a while. I will say that guile is a hell of alot more fun than vega and a better character too, but he is more difficult to use properly.
to Kane
Using the characters you named, try guile/joe/geese(2). Youd probably find that pretty fun, especially if Guile gets a good match on that first character. And dont drop Joe for Haoh unless you really like haohmaru, cause Joe is a better character. If you’re gonna trade in Joe trade him in for someone that is actually legitimately better. If you’re in C groove, try rolento, or sagat.
theres my 2 cents
So yeah, basically the team that I am rocking now is K-xxx/Hibiki/CammyR2. I am having trouble trying to fill that first spot. I’ve tried a few different characters. Geese, Rock, Kyo, Nako, Akuma. None of them for me really. So Im thinking of just picking up either Sagat or Blanka. If I pick up Sagat or Blanka should I put him as the R2 or just leave the order the way it is now? Cause I don’t really see too many R2-Cammy players unless they are in P-Groove. But I could be wrong. Thanks in advance.
Wow the team you have there is basically the low life/ low stun team. U better find fill it in with someone who can take damage i.e. Yamazaki, Honda, Blanka. Btw if u go with Akuma ur going to have to play with incredible precision, because i used to use K-Akuma, Hibiki, R2 Cammy and let me tell u what. One decent geese will give u fits.
