"Get Ready...Survive!" The New Garou: Mark of the Wolves Thread

Funny thing is I’ve been meaning to jump back on 360 to play since my pc hates me and ggpo. Mainly me though

No 360…or PS3. :[ But I’ll get a PS3 before I get a 360, so still no Garou other than GGPO.

MOTW on the 360 is horrible online. The delay is too much.

New combo video ?

Nothing new there though. Those combos have been done before in other videos.

do there is a frame-list of MOTW or not ?

Check the first post on this thread. Everything is there.

ok thanks

Just got back from Japan.
Was mad sad that MOTW got no love.
I was the only guy playing the game.
Damnit, that’s not fair.

Where were you playing it at? There are specific spots where there is more play/comp than other areas.

I was running around through Shinjuku & Akibahara

In shinjuku there’s Club Sega Arcade dont know about Akihabara

i press for Kevin qcb+C,cancel into A+D or d+A+B+D… need eight times for 1st full bar, but i see video where need only five times for 1st full bar!

what need press ?

qcb C, ADC, DCA

Kind of hard to explain, but you have hit C slightly after you hit AD so you go from qcbA to qcb C. To continue you have to use another qcb motion for 2-3 specials.

thanks

i use qcb+C,A,A+D,A+D

thanks LArs

Easiest way to do it would be: :qcb: + :snkc:, then quickly piano :snka: then :snkd:, then press :snka: + :snkd:. If you did it correctly you should see 2 flame animations like if Kevin is charging the :qcb: + :snka:/:snkc: special. I know that’s the way the Japanese do it.

Anyone have any input on Terry’s j.C hitting crossup?

It has to be spaced just right. It also only works versus certain characters and also depending if they are standing or crouching. It’s easier getting it when they are crouching, since most characters hitboxes get wider as they are crouching. His jump :snkb: crosses up easier for the most part.

I had been training my best for NEC with Hokutomaru until my disc broke recently. My Hoku could use some help. How can I make the most use of the shurikens without giving the opponent free health from JD? I also want to make use of his 214+LK/HK more.

It depends on the player really. If they are good at JDing his projectile then it might not be so good to use on them. You will have to rely on just getting in on them more with pokes. Usually it’s best to use his :qcf: + :snkc:. It’s a bit tricker to JD and usually most can’t fully JD it properly. It’s good to use it meaty as they are getting up. It’s also good against other characters fireball keep away tactics. If they use a character with lots of fireball spam use the :qcf: + :snkc: to make them stop that. Just be careful since it has a long start up and easy to jump over it. I sometimes like using his :qcf: + :snka: meaty in the corner as they are getting up. If you do it off the ground low enough it puts Hoku at an advantage. I wouldn’t do it though if they are good at GCing or if they have meter stocked. Another problem also is that you can hit Hoku’s projectiles with normals. So his projectile isn’t really the best since it can be hit.

As for his :qcb: + :snkb:/:snkd: specials. You have to just mix it up a bit. They both have their risk though, so I would just try not using it outside of combos really. Unless you know they will stick something out like a fireball with recovery use the :qcb: + :snkd:. I would use it then but outside of that it’s too risky really. Just remember that Hoku has many other great tools like his double jump to keep people guessing. His :df: + :snkb: is really good and goes under many fireballs. Just make sure to not use it too close as it has recovery on it. You should probably watch some of Wata’s matches when he’s using Hoku. They can help you see how to use him properly VS certain characters. I’ll link a few of his matches as good examples of Hoku play:
