SA1 is more or less a desperation move, used more against Yun than Yang. Elena’s use it to beat Dive Kicks and basically poke and kara-throw Yun to death. The only other thing she has is her b.HK which beats tons of throw setups.
Not quite. SA1 when it’s picked over SA2 is usually to deter or get out of divekick from twins and take away some of Ibuki’s aerial approach and options. I once got a chance to ask 5star how to deal with divekick pressure and he told me some options that Elena has at her disposal when dealing with dk pressure (jump back fierce, back roundhouse, slide throw, redparry after divekick, parry then jump etc). Picking SA1 with EL isn’t going to deter twins from dancing on your head until you give them a reason to respect you. SA1 doesn’t really accomplish that goal effectively and you miss out on the opportunity to Obliterate the twins/Buki’s health by nearly 40 percent once you hitconfirm a cr. Strong.
I feel like Elena has some pretty solid options for dealing with dive kicks compared to a lot of the rest of the cast
back roundhouse is really good
So whats the status on the Artayes MM challenges?
Is it possible to record the matches (if the matches are still happening of course)?
I doubt Artayes is going to EVO
you ppl really thought he would go? lol
Unfortunately I can’t make it either. I just started a new job and starting to build back up my finances so unless round trip tickets to Vegas and back are dirt cheap I can’t get out there.
I hope the offline 3S shit turns out well. I want to see some money matches on youtube commentated by Rockafeller. And goddamnit, play some KOF13 too. Best 2D fighter of this generation.
I don’t pussy out of any fight, unlike you.
the story of me and eatabletech (ryan).
I go into a player lobby and eatabletech (whom I never heard of before) is using Ken and playing all kinds of newbies. He is taunting them every second and after the matches. So my turn, I kick his ass (he is playing Ken and Yun) and taunt him, repeat, repeat. I leave and he is boiling mad.
I play him in another player match about a month later. He picks Urien and wins, boots me out and talks shit.
Next time we play (about another month later), I kick his ass again and leave, sending him a message on how he sucks and eat that loss.
Last time we played (about a month ago), I play him in a ranked match against his Yun. I play halfass this time to bait him into some ft10 or whatever. he is still far too scared to do it.
Now, in between these games I have tried to get him to play in lobbies with me or some actual sets, but he pussies out every time. I am not going to record the matches, I am not going to go brag about me whupping up on you, so no worries on my end. private matches ft10, but he is scared to do it.
I will go to EVO, but I 100 percent guarantee this guy will pussy out like 100 percent of the rest of the times.
ryan may talk some good shit on here, but the dude is straight up pussy. no balls, no glory, nothing. fuck this dude.
Gauntlet thrown. Again.
Claiming that Ryan will pussy out is pretty outlandish. He’s been to plenty Evolutions, and you’ve been to how many? Not to mention hes in San Diego, which isn’t very far from Vegas. Nobody believes you’ll actually come, till you post some proof that you purchased a plane ticket to Vegas, this money match wont be taken seriously. Just look at it as an investment, Ryan is free and you can double your profits owning him in the money match.
I don’t give 2 shits about him not pussying out elsewhere. he pussies out against ME because he is shamed in losing to me…end of story.
If hes down to play you offline for money, how exactly does that make him a pussy? You aren’t making any sense.
Just go to fucking Evo Artayes instead of talking shitty shit, i’ll become your biggest fan
Well I guess it’s settled then both Ryan and Artayes are going to EVO no? Since both players now can play each other I think it’s only safe to say that we shut our traps until it happens. GL to the both of you I hope the matches are recorded and turn out to be a lot of fun.
Crawl before you walk maybe? If you cant beat me you’ll have no shot against Ryan. I knew Ryan was better than me before I even spoke to him online or met him in person. The gameplay and accomplishments speak for themselves. Why some of you cant recognize gameplay thats better than yours is beyond me but ok lol
How about you see if you can take some sets from me before you bark up that tree? I’m bringing my setup etc.

If anyone has videos of Artayes or Ryan, I ask that you remove them from whatever site you have them on to keep this shit classy. Studying your opponent after talking mad shit based solely on your OWN play isn’t exactly what I like to call masterful.
It’ll show in the matches. If one dude walks into the match and automatically knows everything the other guy is gonna do, then we know whooooo diidddd whaaattt.
also, I think I’m moving on to marvel 3 or kofxiii.
No offense, brother, but why is it always you between them two? Are you second best after Ryan?
