really, hmmm okay I’m on crack. I will test the right combo when I get home. Maybe it’s jab.
Okay so jab doesn’t work either but you can do cr. lk to close st.mk but of course you have to be almost point blank for that too work. And the guide says it’s a one frame link, but I don’t think thats right becuase I got it everytime I tried it no problem. I will concede that maybe it’s harder to land the custom than I thought. So I will just say A-king may not be the best but I like her more than the rest.
Hey Dr.B. Ive just ditched K groove for C and am trying to put a new team together. I want to use Akuma but feel a little lost with him without run. Any advice on block strings or general strats are very welcome.
Also Ive started playing Vice. Where do you think is the best position for her? Ive been putting her R1 in the middle for the time being. Also what poke should I be making good use of? st.mk seems okay from afar.
As far as Akuma I wouldn’t honestly be the authority…I play him super different than alot of people…but as far as vice I say up front. And have two power house characters with that bitch !!!
If you’re more comfortable with Blanka over Sagat as your ratio 2 then I’d keep the placement where it’s at. Depending on the match-up I’d switch Ryu around since he has some bad ones, but K does cover some large gaps in his game (I love K-Ryu myself). Learn how to JD multiple hitting moves like electricity and hand slaps. Also develope a strong air to air and anti-air JD game. Study up on what moves you can retaliate with after a successful JD with each of your characters (frames/frame advantage etc.).
im an A-groove’r and since i’ve started practicing M.bison my mind isnt sure on which team to use during play. normally i had ken,sak,sagat. so the problem is which one do i replace? i like ken although i dont depend on his a-groove at all. sagat is nice,but he doesnt have an a-groove i can pull off when people arent suspecting it. tough call since i like ken and sagat,so i’d like some suggestions
whut up B, its yur boy dr. s, stopped playing cvs2 4 a minute 4 tekken 5, but iv’e been back at it recently. heres some shit I use when I use s groove & have a flashing life bar.
s honda
cr. fierce or rh to level 1, decent damge, good on block.(dont think it can be punished?)also level 3 to level1(cornered)combos.
s ryu
dodge k up close (they block it) cr fwd super, the stun from the dodge attack makes the cr fwd. super difficult 2 punish. idk if it’s impossible but out of the millions of times I’ve done this on decent players either they get stuffed by the cr fwd. they block it, or they try 2 roll through, A good setup.
s blanka
lv. 1s are hella good, good on trade, safe on block (except k&p) dodge p 2 level 1 i’ve connected at hella far ranges(prob. counter hit).
s rock
cr rh 2 level 1 connects. I think he has a lv 3 to level 1 combo, either his raging demon type lv3 or his qcf,qcf, k super, to qcf,qcf, punch super.
small shit I use, i’m no pro but I get my wins from good comp using it.
peace.
who uses s yamazaki?
Whassup man??? Been a long as time since I heard from you…glad to see you are back…we are gonna have to play again sometime when I come out that way…Keep the S power flowing until I battle you again…
PsychoChronic: For S -Athena use alot of down Fierce…mix up her dodge game with grabs and command grabs for extra damage…charge fake them alot then attack…keep your meter on or near max for extra damage or alpha counter…you can play hit and run by landing some solid hits and teleporting all over the place…I dont really use her air to ground kick move that much unless I bait their attack in the air…same thing for the air kick super…keep those crystals going when u hit desperation mode…aka red life…I hope that helps…
Tip on fighting pepole playing C groove and the dont jump and have the best one button anti airs in the game, its bad enough c groove has roll i must have had my eyes closed when pepole where rolling in Alpha 3? but anyways tips!_@
I have a question since I just recently started playing CvS2 again. How does Yamazaki fight Vega?? Or should I just say eff Yama and fight Vega with someone else?
Mandeezy: As far as Yama vs Vega…Watch your feet…use his reversal move on vegas jump in attacks and empty pokes…Super on any missed moves and use jumpinp lk…and mk for air to air fighting…build as much meter as possible…kick the dirt !!! Use his HP slash and his kick dust combos…But having counter characters for Vega doesnt hurt Like Bison,Ryu,Blanka,Cammy,etc. Use standing MP and crouching HP as anti air and his slash moves !!!
It’s main offense comes from its main defense. Therefore, if you take away its defense, then you take away it’s serious offense. Get what I mean?
When thinking more about offense and defense, you know K Groove doesn’t have roll.
So if you mixup timing and attacking, you accomplish 2 things at once. Mixup opponents JD, which helps with number 1, and you’re able to get more opportunities to land more hits.
Then you think, "Well, if I attack them alot, then they get super before me."
Then you put yourself in a situation where you deal alot of damage all at once. Then keep yourself out of a super landing situation.
