Okay guys…now I KNOW I wasn’t seeing things at NEC8…
YES YOU CAN AIRBLOCK MAIS RISING FLAME IN THE JAP PS2 VERSION OF RBS…
But you cannot airblock Kims, Joes, or Andys Dps/flash kicks…
I tested this time and time again, CPU on Guard in Practice mode and jumping, airblocks it EVERYTIME… (had Cpu characters as Sokaku and EX Mary…hmmm I wonder why??? :rolleyes: I ain’t no fool people…)
So I know what I am talking about…
Thus that creates my free airthrow mixup…

thats funny. i tried it on emu and it didnt work. my cdz isnt plugged in so i cant check if its possible in the neo cd version or not. i do have the ps2 version, ima try it out tonight if i can find the game somewhere (cant find XI damn it). i need to print covers for my ps2 games.
So I’m using the wrong feints. Ok thanks for the info! I will practice more rb2 feint combos. The rb2 feint system adds a new flavor to the real bout series gameplay. I still think characters are better in rbs, but I do think characters are made good when they can use the feint cancels to enhance special moves or add. To combos. Its extra good for special throws imo.
Not all chars use them. The chars I use generally don’t.
I think Rick, Geese, Xiangfei, and Bob have the most use for them.
Isn’t krauser on that list also?
Yeah he uses them too, but Geese and Rick in particular REALLY use them.
Ok, so I should use the blitz ball feint with krauser instead of the k wave feint?
I thought you said you needed a new controller to play online? How are you going to test something out if your controller is broken? If you can test a game tonight, then you can get on 2df and play me in rbs since you are the master!
Yes…thats the one I use to do my comboes with Krauser…matter of fact I dont use the Kaiser Wave feint ENOUGH with Krauser…I dont like it because its slow…
I like the fast one and I feint cancel with Krauser about 10x a match in RB2 at LEAST.
Ok i’ll try to practice that in rb2.:wonder:
Also to add to that guys…airblocking itself is a science and to know what you can and cannot airblock as well as knowing what normals to use to counter…
Also I’ve further tested in Mai vs. Mai mirror match vs. the CPU and I’ve airblocked its Rising Flame EVERYTIME…
Also Mai’s hcf+C is UNBLOCKABLE in the air…so I can use it as another anti air if I want to…I’m levelling up on my own finding out more shit and this is what I do when I can’t play against anyone and before tournaments!
So far I’ve discovered you can airblock projectiles but ground normals you CANNOT airblock…thus I can use cr.a or Close St. C or the godly far st.b with Mai as an Anti Air that you cannot airblock period…you can beat it out depending with how strong your jump in is…but you cannot airblock it!
So just with this information alone my brain is going crazy trying to think of more ways to punish people.
Oh yeah guys and make no mistake about it…Mai’s far st.b is GODLY…
It is a godlike poke because of its priority as well as range…I can turtle play smart all day and force you to turtle with her far st.b… I also if I’m really playing will karacancel it into a quick cr.b depending to try and mindfuck you.
Also Mais Air Throw is god like also, it can grab people out of special moves in the air like even Kim’s dive kick and other things…it has very very good priority and is something all expert Mais should learn to use effectively…
I’ve come up with a way or what I call "Dark Geese’s Mai RBS Option Select"
With Mai because her airthrow is Down+C in the air and because Jump+C is such a good weapon air to air, if you press down+C in the air and you are not close enough her Jump+C will still come out! Thus you need to press down+C most of the time air to air because if you are within throw range you will throw them, if not they will get hit with Jump C!

Also something else I learnt today…Mai has another move that is Unblockable in the air besides her super…her aerial Ninja Bees…
and also let me fully elaborate…you can’t block normals in the air if the person is STANDING/CROUCHING… or on the ground so to speak, but air to air you can airblock air combos and normals…
But air to air you cannot block Mais Aerial Ninja Bees…so I got another surefire quick anti Air against you if you jump… right off the ground Ninja Bees…
Damn man stop beasting!!! I never knew that. DARK MAI is too beastly sir.
I am starting to wonder now if everyone has at least two moves you cannot airblock…
Obviously S Powers don’t count because you can’t airblock those for the most part… (Terrys Geyser etc)
Like I say I’m at full throttle getting ready for MWC…I expect nothing else but to walk away as the RBS Champion!!!
Also if you combo/ do an attack into Aerial Ninja Bees in the air it loses it unblockable property, but on its own in the air its an anti air!
So for example if I do jump BxxNinja Bees, its blockable…but just jumping Ninja Bees…UNBLOCKABLE if you are in the air!
EDIT- Also for a small window guys the person trying to air block CANNOT airblock when they are jumping…I cant give you the exact frames of it…but for a very small window while they are going up from airblocking, they CANNOT AIRBLOCK…
Also if someone neutral jumps and airblocks Mai’s Rising Flame, Mai is safe when you land and you cannot punish her…you have to jump and cross her up and airblock pretty much to be able to punish her after Rising Flame or SHE has to do it LATE …

Larry can you test whether or tell me whether there is Trip Guard in RBS?
Because I can use LS Sweeps as Anti Airs vs. people also… and regular sweeps it seems…
Like is said before “STOP BEASTING” lukus! You better win the rbs tournament at mwc or it may take the luster off our mm. 
Trust me I know its gonna take the luster off it I dont win…but to me losing is not an option.… For me to rule RBS with an Iron Fist as I want to MWC has to be won…
I’m even shooting for winning RB2 but for sure RBS…:rock:
Ok, Dark Geese and Shinblanka. I’ll go for you in 2df.
Dammit why is Andy’s Super Drill Kick move so hard to get out in RBS? Maybe its because I’m using the controller and not an arcade stick huh?
Oh yeah I’m back on playing these games now…for awhile anyway lol
the FRXII thread is up now.
