That said, here’s what I found out about Guard-cancelling (6D) last night:

DKL:

Actually, yeah, cancelling earlier than 2C is probably a good idea.

I’d probably want to cancel the moment I get tagged by 2A and then clash with 2B or whatever follows after.

That said, mashing throw out of guard cancel seems like a good option… the worst that happens is that the throw is teched, but it creates some space, which I really needed tonight.

That said, if you go from A into Super, it’ll turn out bad for the guard-cancelling player if the super animation is long since the shield will end and you eat the rest of the hits in the super.

So I guess I wanna guard cancel toward the end of the super… don’t know how long it’ll take to learn to do something like that especially given that I have no idea how long most of these things last.

EDIT:

Uh, yeah, learning when to guard cancel supers is pretty important since, apparently, I can’t punish things if I don’t guard cancel (such as Saki’s 236 A+B… I’m like mashing A after the thing is over and she can still block it).

EDIT EDIT:

Okay, I know how to punish blocked castle now:

It’s possible with raw dash in, but the timing is hard… guard cancel is the surest way to do it and it seems that most 2B’s will work as the start of a punish combo (preferable since 2A proration sucks).

Eko’s 2B is obnoxious, but punishable with guard-cancel (and it doesn’t seem to matter when 2B is cancelled into Eko car ride)… you just have to make sure to piano during clash and you will likely win since the flower is still active and… I think can’t be cancelled into anything else?

That being said, you will eat Cinderella Express if you either screw up the timing or use a low attack.

In any event, yeah, guard-cancelling seemed kinda counter-intuitive: I kept thinking that I was suppose to guard-cancel unsafe moves and then punish… when that’s somewhat bad to do sometimes (except on Disneyland!) since your guard-cancel will not clash with anything during a move’s recovery and you’re open to a free combo during guard-cancel’s recovery…

That being said, I guess this is where the mind games get epic: you could bait guard-cancel out with a single jab, then do you best punish when they move towards you and their shield goes down.

EDIT:

Oh… can’t beat Saki’s 2A, 2B, 2C, flash kick with guard-cancel…

That’s not good since you can option select sonic boom kick with down-back charge.

Will need to think about that.

EDIT EDIT:

No, wait, you can beat it if you just guard-cancel and just hold down-back since it’ll whiff for the A and B versions… but then C clashes with guard-cancel shield, which is okay since Saki will be forced to homing cancel to make it safe.

Hope interested people find it useful!

It’s apparently super-important to get guard-cancelling correctly if you wanna get out of pressure.

Just remember: you wanna get hit by another attack when your guard-cancel shield is out, because the game goes into clash mode and you have the opportunity to blow your opponent up if you throw your fastest normal out during guard clash flash.

(note: clash is a moment in the game where both attacks “clash” and both players are given the opportunity to either block or push a button… if both players push a button to cancel the clash animation, the player who has the fastest startup will win)

kontrad1cti0n · February 5, 2011, 2:08am

This will be my first time attending this what is the actual address of where I am meeting at? Also I think I read somewhere we are doing AE this week?

DKL · February 5, 2011, 2:13am

V will hook you up with address info; we’re meeting at Mary Park Hall this week, but I don’t know how to give directions to get to the place.

That said, Rack-N-Cue is open until 4PM, I think, and some people can hang out there and then come back to our meet after 2 hours.

linknights · February 5, 2011, 2:56am

This is my first time attending this, this upcoming weekend, I’m a high school student, and i’ve confirmed with Worf, that I might be able to go despite being a “minor”. I might have to leave early due to “curfew problems” I do plan to apply to SFSU after I’m done with High School though, (hopefully this will still be there in 2 years :3), I’m gonna be quiet at first maybe, cause it is my first time at a scene like this, but do greet me though, and I hope we can be friends. I think i needa work with casuals, since i believe i am not that good and will be free to everyone :X. My main game for now (as for fighting) is SSF4,but i love playing other fighting games such as Tekken, Soul Calibur or even BlazeBlu. I really want to get into MvC2 and 3, but i was never good at it, so if anyone might want to tutor me for the upcoming MvC3, and help me up my game in SSF4 from my scrub level to an intermediate (or tournament LOL) atleast :x… Yeah i like typing alot about myself as an introduction.

Som · February 5, 2011, 3:46am

when is this gonna be on Sunday again?

DKL · February 5, 2011, 4:09am

RE: linknights

Make sure to play Arcana Heart 3 with us!

It’s a good game! ™

Also, good luck with SFSU.

I wanted to apply there for graduate school, but they dont seem to have a law program

ALSO, Som and Chrisis will teach you how to play MVC2.

RE: Som

It’s happening on Saturday this week.

Chrisis · February 5, 2011, 4:13am

Renoting as it may have been missed, I’m not going to be able to attend this Saturday unless I can get back to the east bay by 5 =/

VIITheGambler · February 5, 2011, 4:28am

well it could be worse, be happy you aren’t watching Street Fighter the Movie :amazed: or even worse Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li :shake:

In any case, there is certainly gonna be a high level of expertise missing. There’s always the next week.

Noted -.-b

defghui · February 5, 2011, 4:40am

VIITheGambler · February 5, 2011, 4:46am
