Yes.
What’s trip guard?
Also I swear to god Gato’s palm super is ridiculous. There’s probably 50 different ways to land that shit. Probably the best super in the game next to Kevin’s P Power Hell Freezer.
Trip guard is a way of stopping people from using sweeps as anti airs when you jump whether you attack or not… in the old days and even in old games like Ninja Masters you could sweep them if they jumped as an Anti Air FREE…didnt matter…Sweep was a good anti air…Trip Guard prevents this unless they do an attack early in the air…then they are open to be punished by many things.
Guys MWC SNK 2008 Garou MOTW tournament happening in about 2 weeks…I will get footage of it and post it in this thread after it happens!
-Dark Geese
Best thread on FGD.
Nice, the old thread was difficult to search guides in 
Looking forward to seeing the footage =3
I won’t be able to go this year >.<
Good job! Repped and subscribed!
This game is just too fun. I’m a hokutomaru main, getting a little better each day.
Amazing! There were a lot of Swedes playing MOTW for a while but most of them have started playing other games, although there are a few of us still playing this game as our main game. Actually I’m playing Sweden’s best player today, wish me luck!
Are you going to write upp all the character info’s yourself Nocturnal or do you need some help? I know basically everything about Kevin, I guess I could give you a hand with that part… (Edit: Although Giby might be better to talk to when it comes to Kev)
Oh and what’s happened with the Howard Arena ranbats? Haven’t seen one in a while…
back when i played this game competetivelly was back in 99 till maybe 01. ive gotten pretty bad with the game not playing it for a couple a years. maybe its just the kb instead of a stick or pad.
also, cancel the overheads. the jumping ones? perhaps the kims with their d+K moves or b+B or D was it? or was it C? and jenet with her d+K move? also, tizocs dp+A isnt cancelable after a small jump is it? if so then its probably even possible after the overhead. got me interrested again. incredible of fast you lose your skill when you dont play this game, exactly like TS.
Imma start practicing this shit this weekend, Ive always wanted to pick this up.
Eventually I’ll have write ups for all the characters but any help is more than welcomed. If you happen to miss on something I’ll just add to your post on it. They stopped doing the specific Garou Ranbats from Howard Arena but a lot of the same players go to the other tournaments also. I’m actually about to upload another tournament here in a few mins so stay tuned for that.
The Kim bros cannot cancel their :snka: + :snkb: low dodge attack with :d: + :snkb:/:snkd:. I already made a list of characters who can cancel their low dodge attack overheads. Yes you can do Tizoc’s air grab off a small jump as well. It just tends to be tricky sometimes since the motion has to start from down when doing the air grab motion. His :dp: + :snka: is a ground move only unless you meant doing the motion while small jumping. If you meant that then yes you can do motion as your small jumping/jump/dashing/etc. since motion storing is in this game.
Noc et al, when Im comboing and the opp. enters TOP midway, it screws with my timing and I lose the combo. My question is, can I anticipate this and correct my timing or is activating TOP a free escape from combos? Its pretty hard to test this out myself.
I think that’s a DC bug. That is not present on the PS2 version.
The TOP mode does pause the game but you can either do inputs during the TOP activation or after as well. It just takes some adjusting but it can be a pain sometimes. Best thing to do is pay attention to their life bar so you can anticipate when they will go into TOP mode.
It’s in all the versions, reason the PS2 version isn’t as bad is because it runs the game a bit faster than the MVS/AES versions.
Thanks. Im playing on a legit MVS for the record. I figure I’ll be on 2df in a week or two, I need something better than the EX2 for my PC.
Nice thread, Noc, im going to start playing right now. When i’ll know who’s my main char, i’ll be back for some questions.
Holy shit wow, Nocturnal. This thread is beast.
Hey Noc, good first post, so pleased to see you guys still keep the fire burning (next time I go to SoCal I’ll really have to play you !). I have a kind of bitching correction for you though. If I read correctly you said only Jenet and Hoku could cancel their backdash.
Though it’s totally true strictly speaking, I have to kinda disagree since Jae has a similar cancel. He can cancel his command backdash (:l::l:+:snkb:) into any special/super/TOP and it also looks the same as a normal backdash cancel (but you know all that). It’s not a mandatory correction but I felt it was worth mentioning since it can be pretty handy.
I was going to post that but that is an actual special move he has to backdash to do. Jenet/Hoku can do their specials without backdashing at any time Jae can only do that move during the backdash.
