slayers basic combos arent very hard, his very advanced, squeeze another 20 damage out juggles are pretty hard though. also, consistant bdc can be annoying.
As much as I hate Slayer I enjoy playing him. For me being really good at BDC on reaction is the hardest thing about him. Every now and then I mess up the links…
Slayer is slightly odd for me to play with. I can do his FRC’s bettter then his links…
It’s like squeezing another 40-60 damage out of his juggles yo!
Slayer is “straight-forward” but it’s hard to win with him against people who don’t flail about randomly.
But people like to feed him easy counter-hits and anti-air situations!
lol I’ve been learning this the hard way. Slayer is one of my hardest matchups, but I find if I just don’t jump and don’t hit a lot of buttons, it’s not quite as bad. =/
2HS makes you really want to jump, especially if you get hit with it. ;p
gg players tend to not have concepts of ground games so the only way they think they can get in is by mashing, a gimmick, or jumping. slayer counters mashing and jumping very well.
stop mashing and jumping.
Slayers seems to have to work extremely hard vs anyone that doesnt mash out buttons. (outside of jam -_-)
What to you all think of slayer players? skill less, gutless scum? lol
bad gg players yeah but we already came to the conclusion that bad gg players lose to slayer scrubs anways!
Could a certain team we know from SE-R2 qualify ?
Considering how Slayer and a few other characters in the game capitalize the fuck off of counter-hits into death, makes mashing bad, and throwing out random attacks bad. At least not against a common Jam Player…or Slayer player.
noob question regarding A.B.A
how would I play her?
in gg, u shouldn’t be mashing anyhow. a lot of chars can score huge damage off of counterhit and randomness.
slayer doesn’t have to work as hard as other chars to score damage, and random hits go into massive damage, but it still takes just as much skill to land those hits.
don’t u have to work hard against anyone who plays patiently and, generally, has a strong defense? its easy to land hits if u hold out ur fist and people just line up and run into it. generally being patient gets you more than being brash. slayer still has a scary command throw, a scary overhead, and a scary low, among other things.
Should I give up Testy and Sol for HOS and Baiken (or maybe even Venom)?
get in to moroha mode
fuck shit up
don’t get knocked down
by fuck shit up I mean know your combos. ones that do a shit ton of damage and ones that do a lot of damage and let you switch out and back in to moroha mode
How bout… PLAY WHO YOU LIKE? Is someon stopping you? A lot of GG players main someone and still play other characters too.
I thought in Guilty Gear it’s best just to stick with one character?
BaSiK_TeKniK is right though.
It is only a distraction to play many chars, it slowly robs from experiance with your main char . And since you can only play 1 char in tournies it is best to play no more than 2 chars.
That’s why I’m asking should I trade Sol and Testy.
I wouldn’t mind learning HOS, and my Baiken wasn’t bad in slash, so I’m thinking of playing her again.
^ I think you should stay with Baiken :wgrin:
Flip a coin on it. Heads: stick w/current Tails:switch. See? EASY.
