Actually there have been plenty of times when Hotaru has won tournaments. I was expecting Wata vs Amenomori in the finals. Gonchan did show he was confident playing especially after beating Wata. Also Atsu didn’t play as well as he usually did this time around. Maybe Wata puts pressure on people but not on Gonchan or Amenomori. It’s also the second time Amenomori beat Wata in Total Eclipse. I think what’s important though in this tournament is that it doesn’t matter who you use. If you know the match ups and know the game then any character can make it far.
Even Tizoc? That throw bug has to really hurt.
I wonder if Garou hit the Neo-Geo Station on PS3 if they would fix that bug like how they fixed some bugs in KOF94.
Yes even Tizoc can win. If they didn’t fix it on the 360 version I don’t see them doing it on the PS3 version.
Man I just want Tizoc to be able to actually grab shit. 
Still, it’s not something that happens often, same with no Kevins breaking the top 10 - that’s the real surprise, or maybe there just wasn’t much representation from him.
vERy interesting
I broke down character usage from the early registration list on the Total Eclipse site:
Rock - 8
Hotaru - 10
Gato - 10
Dong - 9
Jae - 10
Freeman - 4
Kevin - 3
Jenet - 11
Kain - 8
Terry - 6
Tizoc - 7
Grant - 12
Marco - 9
Hoku - 5
This also isn’t accurate cause there was about 120 total entries. Some people signed up the day of the tournament. There were also a few players who didn’t list their character they were planning on using.
(I didn’t count Manchest cause one of Giby’s friend added him as a prank.)
Though I only play tizoc for a while so my experience is limited, but isn’t his set up potential worth mentioning? I haven’t had problems with his command grabs but I try not to depend on them either.
Just booked flights and hotel for Evo, so count me and a friend down for any Garou happenings.
More players are always welcomed.
How exactly do reversals work and what are their properties? Do they hit on first frame? Are they invincible for a few frames? What is the window for them to be done in?
You can do reversals after a knockdown, being hit out of the air, after block/JD stun wears out and after hit stun wears out from normals/specials. Reversals have to be input between the 3 to 9 frame recovery frames from those situations. Reversals gain between 5+ to 7+ frame advantage depending on the special/TOP/super you are using.
i don’t know if it’s the right topic but my question is the following:
where can i find a list of ALL the possible hit-confirms for this game?
i mean for every character.
Thanks.
The Japanese wiki shows what normals can been cancelled into but it’s all in Japanese. You can check it here:
here’s the google trsanslated link:
It does a decent enough job translating the topics to understand them. Besides that the rest you would have to figure out yourself or check in match videos what is used a lot for each character. Unless you need character specific hitconfirms I could make a quick little write up on the ones you need.
wtf, random glitch
I was toying around with Jae, in the corner, landed a counter-hit flash kick (whatever), then randomly spammed cr.B as the opponent landed, and for some reason the cr.B hit as an OTG. Kinda like when you go for the OTG low at the end of a round.
Thought I was playing MvC3 for a second.
really thanks for your help, Nocturnal.
at the moment i’d like to see the following characters: Marco, Gato, Terry, Freeman.
another thing, what is the usefulness of forward B kevin move?
thx again, Nocturnal.
oh, do u still play online on ggpo or supercade?
It’s not a bug. Yes you can hit people off the ground after a counter hit. That is only possible if they don’t roll recover though. Freeman’s counter super works the same way. After doing his counter super with :snkb: you can OTG them afterwards. I also explain it on the first post of this thread in the counter hit section about OTG hit.
I’ll try writing those up sometime tomorrow when I get a chance. Kevin’s :f: + :snkb: has no real use. The only good thing about it is probably the first hit. The second hit though has long recovery even when it hits. I would stay away from using it. As for GGPO I do play it on it from time to time. I try to not play anyone outside of the US though. Connections tend to be laggy or it just teleports for me which makes it unplayable.
It’s about that time for my monthly post. I’m having my next Garou night here next Friday 5/20. So if anyone is near or around the Philadelphia, PA area and wants to come by for some games, hit me up or post up. I’m located near the Philly airport; about 10 mins from the Sheraton where NEC/Winter Brawl/Summer Jam is held. For everyone else, I should have a stream up as usual. Maybe we’ll BS about cloning again. God, I still crack up when I go back and listen to that recording from last month’s gathering.
