Cvs2 team formation: discussion/suggestions, etc

[Buktooth]

Jason Cole is a good C Groove Guile player. Check out his shit if you can find it.

lololololololol

[Dentron]

All P Sagat has over P Blanka is he does a little more damage with his supers and has an easier time landing them but A) in P you rarely get supers and B) outside of C and K his supers don’t even do that much damage anyway.

I aggree, I mean since you dont get supers that often anyways, they barely matter for p groove. P groove would probably be better without meter, they only do like 6000 damage, which is like what? 1/3 of your life bar?

K rog / vega / blanka was my old team till i realized they all sucki n K and are much better suited in C(rog) / A (vega, blanka)

itll work against scrubs, but youll get killed by people who know what theyre doing

that C team is missing sagat. You could play C honda / blanka / sagat or c-guile/blanka/sagat. honda + guile = 2 amazing batteries thats unneeded

I know they’re better in C, but K is more suited to my playstyle (though I’ve contemplated just switching over anyway).

And I don’t like playing Sagat. I’m not complaining about c.FP or whatever, it’s just I feel much more comfortable with Blanka then I do Sagat or Cammy really.

Still, I’ll try and make the transition to C groove ;p.

lololololololol

Yeah I fucked that up, I meant Choi but was thinking about some other shit. My bad on that

[Hail_And_Kill]

Damn, jason’s c guile is on a different level of crazy.

[Leezy]

WTF? How do you confuse Smelly Cole with The One True Style???

Besides, John looks like Jessica Alba…and Cole, well, I don’t think Gene has run a picture of him yet…but I’m sure he looks like somebody famous.

Also, I don’t want to know what kind of “gay pose” he was doing to get him to look like Jessica…but that’s still way better than a 73% match with Stifler.

i guess youd have a point about avoiding activation but backhop isnt even that safe. sakura can tag him with st.rh in his recovery and follow with shosho. other characters can just slide or use their farthest reaching normal. at least sagat can dp so you can hit people out of sloppy activations.

all that stuff about dashing and walk/jump speed seems insignificant. he doesnt even have rc elec so one thing he can do is dash guess parry which scores you a knockdown at best, or you eat a big combo at worst. the risk isnt even worth it.

also maybe blanka’s low jump rh is easier to abuse but what can he do with it besides close distances? he cant hit confirm a super off of it so its not like theres a mixup there. sagat can hit confirm a level 3 after his low jump rh or he can always empty low jump, tiger raid or hit confirm from low shorts.

you mention how p-groove doesnt get as many supers as other grooves so wouldnt it be better that you have more ways of landing it with a character?

Sakura can but that gives her one more thing to think about which is sometimes the difference between winning and losing.

Blanka’ low jump has way more uses than Sagat’. Off of the top of my head Blanka can:

1. Empty low jump throw
2. Empty low jump low shorts (can be comboed into super)
3. Early low jump RH land backhop (may as well be free against tall characters)

And trust me Blanka’ regular jump makes a big difference too. That’s part of the reason Blanka IS top tier. All that “only works on scrubs” talk is a common misconception players have about top players. A lot of stuff that works on scrubs will work on top players too. Top players just adjust quicker.

you guys are stupid, ymdsltsac is right. sagat has far less uses off a low jump than blanka. all he can do is

1. Empty low jump throw
2. Empty low jump low shorts (can be comboed into super, uppercut, tigerknee)
3. Low Jump Rh Super
4. Low Jump Rh uppercut
5. Early low jump rh uppercut
6. Empty low jump uppercut
7. Empty low jump tiger raid
   and not to mention all the possible parry->super setups that come with low jump.

This is why I hate playing theory fighter. You can say anything but in actual matchplay things just don’t work the way people describe them.

In order for Sagat to land any of those mixups, Dentron, he has to be in range and without a roll or a run he’s going to have an agonizing time getting within an optimal range. He moves slower than old people on the freeway and dashes like an eight of a centimeter.

But that’s not even the point. The point is that Blanka low jumps way quicker than Sagat does that’s why his low jump is more effective not because he has more options. That’s why I only listed like three things.

[popoblo]

my head is spinning, jesus. i don’t even see how people are arguing that P-blanka is better than P-sagat IN THE USER POSITION. bottom line is that blanka needs a charge to perform his super, sagat doesn’t. cvs2 is all about landing your custom or super, and sagat can do that much easier.

for whoever asked, nakanishi has a solid C-guile. there are some matches of him on youtube.

rolento is fun.

you dont know how to play sagat or you play against garbage sagats. what do you think c-sagat does, roll around all day and get lucky?

okay please name any well-known p-groove players who exclusively use blanka as their user or even have blanka on their team.

i dont mean to come off as a dick (NO HOMO) and im not nerd raging here but youre not thinking this through.

I don’t think anyone ever said P-Blanka is a better user than P-Sagat just that he’s simply a better character. It started because jae hoon said that the best P groove team is Kyo/Blanka with Cammy as the anchor.

Giving it some thought I guess Sagat may be a safer bet but I believe Blanka has more potential.

Does anyone know if Ino still anchors Blanka in K-groove?

[ZenFire]

Cus ppl don’t play CvS2 in real life anymore either

p-groove sagat > blanka, read posts above. sagat is a fuckin hero in any groove, end of story. but who the fuck cares everyone that disagrees always uses the “it’s my opinion” excuse.

ino anchors cammy/sagat/blanka according to matchups.

and allen wants to have gay sex.

how come youre so right all the time? since everyone plays a 100% perfect vega you can never get in with p sagat especially when you can use any number of countless parry setups to get a knockdown.

not like any of this argument matters because the fact that many good serious p groove players use sagat and noneuse blanka anyways should be testament to the fact that you’re wrong =[

[iKlEiTlH]

Does anyone know if Ino still anchors Blanka in K-groove?

i don’t think any good k-player would anchor blanka exclusively.

Nah cole, I can see the resemblance… but I think Cole is the Jimi Hendrix of the Street Fighter community… i mean check this out; evidence has it!

Cole = Jimi Hendrix, one freaky ass lady, and JOHN CHOI?!

Oh Shit, Chang from SNK is pimp?

Oh Shit, Chang from SNK is pimp?

LOL geez…

WTF My head hurts from all the P-Sagat vs P-Blanka talk. Who plays P-groove anyways :rolleyes: Next we’re going to fight about what’s better P or K Kyo…

Am I going to have to put up that famous internet picture that says "Winning an argument on the internet is like winning the special olympics, your still retarded.
