I heard that the ps3 will lag regardless playing PS2 games. That’s your problem.

It’s a pretty bad fight for Axl in general ;( You can do a few things, 2K can duck under some of his jump-ins, early 2S to hit him before he ever gets into range to jH you, careful poking to keep him on the ground. Preempting his attempts to jH is probably your best bet if that’s your main problem with him.
As a Slayer player, those are the things I’m wary of for the most part. I know I need to get lucky once and the match is mine ;( Patience goes a long way for both, don’t be afraid to just back up and stay the hell away instead of trying to go toe-to-toe with Slayer.
axl has a ton of anti air pokes at his disposal, jump ins can be punished pretty easy from my knowledge… even IAD just require some fast reactions
Konzetsu FRC is a tough one to get down; every time you play ABA, just go for the FRC, regardless if you want it or not. It’s tough because;
*It’s pretty delayed
*There really isn’t any good visual cue
*2 frame FRC window
Some days I get it like 80-90% of the time, others I’m just not on the ball. Rekkas FRC is much easier, thankfully.
that’s why i’m spending alot of time on posting all this info. we need to spread the GG hype around the world so there will be more players to play with!
you might be right, i def know he had enough eddy bar but he may not have recoverd in time. I’ll mes with it tonight and see how it works.
Damn Eddie!!! Shouldn’t he be DEAD??? If only the ending where he died trying to take over Sharon were true. And hey Pable the Mex, just practice. I was a scrubby Slayer back in the day, but now, I’m pretty top tier myself and I kick alot of ass!!! Just need to use his cowbell more… err… HS
Most jump-ins aren’t Slayer’s jH.
What are they?
Actually, should you even be jumping that much with Slayer? I know I do and I tend to get wacked by a lot of stuff because of my carelessness (cough DOLPHINS cough)
Probably not, but jH is so beastly.
Seriously, it’s only reason that I was able to finally beat Maniac Level Potemkin at 4:00 A.M. by staying on his “I’ll just anti-air everything with some type of grab” ass after losing 33 times in a row.
Speaking of that bastard, dear Zod, I think he’s only character design I hate in the whole damned game. His character portrait makes him look like a goddamned gorilla and his body, especially his lower half, seems so grossly uneven that it is only rivaled by Anji’s seemingly disappearing torso.
Whoever decided on some of these Forcebreaks needs to be beaten. Aerial Potemkin Buster? What the fuck? It’s not like he doesn’t already have seriously anti-air moves that make you not even want to jump away, much less towards him, but now has something that even worse considering the potential follow ups and the fact that he can super jump.
I bet the same person that did that was the moron that give him Slide Head and gave Slide Head upper body invincibility up-close. (I must have lost at least 10 matches due to that fucking factor. It’s nice to see my close Slash just whiff and then get knocked on my ass only to get OTG into half my life. Very nice.)
My hatred of Potemkin and annoyance with Eddie has made me look into Faust finally since he seems to be a tad bit easier than Axl combo-wise. I’m actually beginning to like Faust, though I can’t FDC yet (at least for any significant use) and his items are still annoying random, especially with a third of them potentially benefitting the opponent.
there’s something inherently wrong with you if you lost to cpu 33 times in a row. it doesn’t matter if it was potemkin or maniac level.
c.s gets CH by JHS like all day 
same with 6p and dp.
What I ike to do is IBAD and j6p him(whiff for zone, or get the hit), im not sure if Slayer jk beats it(im sure it does) but Ive had some success with that.
and Slayer can just whiff jumping peak attackks(air to airs or jabs) and come down with a jHS, so I cant really air throw or try some other bs. It’s just a constant struggle of maintaining that sweet spot for Axl(like 3/4 screen)
Faust vs Eddie makes me cry.
If he manages to work hiw way into at all, your gonna be very hard pressed to get him off. Little Eddie makes your pokes really wierd, since it taking the hit can open up the door for eddie to walk right in.
be on point is all i can say
also, potemkin cant really anti-air you for free. His 6P and Heat Extend arent really that quick, so unless its obvious, or he is psychic, you shouldnt be getting knocked out of the sky every jump.
i thought 6P was still a viable AA for Pote: upper body invicibility and huge hitbox, unless the properties are changed.
yea, 6p is still ridiculously good. it remains unchanged from slash. and he has even better damage options off of it now that he has air buster… although most people still just opt for the heat knuckle combo in most situations anyway.
6p is one of the best anti-air normals in the game. i don’t see how people could complain that it’s not fast enough. if that move way any faster, it’d be broken.
also, heat knuckle was never meant to be a anti-air. the only time you should be sticking it out on its own is if you anticipate a jump out.
I have many problems. This one would be called “sucking with a Slayer that jumps far too much for ‘fun’”.
Isn’t that one of Slayer’s actually difficult matches, though? It doesn’t help that the computer’s fucking psychic and Potemkin literally kills me in three grabs.
The computer has magic powers and will Pot Buster you through any gap in your offense. Real players that do that are the ones that just mash Potemkin Buster all day, but those are scrubs and will lose anyways. Pre-AC I think Slayer vs Pot was heavily in Pot’s favor, but in AC, given that a lot of Slayer’s normals and some specials have frame advantage on block, it’s not as bad as it used to be. At worst it’s 4-6 for Slayer and 5-5 at best.
Slayer’s ground game >>> his air game. Just remember that.
Oh, I know that.
I don’t really care for Slayer any more, usage-wise, since so many other people seem to be using him and I hate mirror matches in most games.
Who is more of a combo machine, Eddit or Testament?
As a Testy player I would vote on him.
but most of testy’s (lol) bigger combos are highly situational.
but eddie still has combos that might put testy in the gutter
