My bad. 2D hit Testament, clearing the trees.
Sol’s 5K beats or clashes with almost every normal in the game, and Testament’s j.D is no exception. It doesn’t have so much to do with priority (they actually trade), but more with the angle at which both moves come out. Testament j.D comes out slightly above and a good amount horizontally to Testament, making it a pretty uneffective air-to-ground attack. You’ll have to hit pretty deep with it as it has very little downward range. Sol can always 5K well before you get within that range.
You can go into Training and test this out yourself (in #R, at least, though it likely is the same in XX).
Okay, I tried it out. 5K beats j.D pretty much most of the time. Funny, because when playing at the arcade, I noticed getting hit a lot by j.D when trying to 5K it. But I guess I mistimed the 5K horribly. And I probably didn’t notice all the other times when 5K probably beat his j.D attempts because j.D is such a laggy move - it probably didn’t even get to the active frames.
Blue, tired of KingLow messing you up finally huh?? :tup:
After getting my ass whooped by KLT for about 4 hours…I can SOMEWHAT answer your question.
1.Watch for hoops.
2.If you get caught blocking a May string, the moment you see a dolphin, IB that shit, then VV if you think you can hit em with it.
3.Watch out for the random Restive Rolling (May’s DP move).It’s likely to come out when you least expect it, so be on your toes.
4.If you block a dolphin, more than likely they’ll follow it up with an FRC then air dash, so VV or 5k during their air dash…
I hope that helps, even if only a little bit.
nvm KLT isnt entering CCCT 
so i aint got shit to worry about it 2nd here I COME!!!

In response to MadBoyManic on Defeating Zappa
Your entire post on defeating Zappa, specifically with Axl and Faust seems to make a lot of sense.
However, one thing that I disagree with is that, "Dog-Zappa plays runaway (I think) with some very strange (and unexpected) pokes. " The Dog is notorious for its corner traps which can often lead to damaging combos and many different resets. Therefore, it is usually nice to stay away from the corner if Dog is out. If a Zappa is to play runaway with the Dog, it becomes much easier to beat IMO. All you have to do is air dash or get over the Dog's Up+Dust and get to Zappa or bait an attack from the Dog and counter.
As for Axl, I agree with, "hitting Zappa should be pretty easy to do with Axl" since Axl can pretty much own the Sword summon since Axl's range is superior. The Dog can be dealt with at long range with a small poke. I am not really going to discuss Raoh since I do not know Raoh vs. Axl very well. Ghosts seem to stand the best chance, yet Axl can always predict when Zappa launches a ghost and just poke him out of the projectile launching animation.May Must Die!!!
Anybody got tips for fighting May? The manager of my local arcade really drives me up the wall when he uses her. To add insult to injury, he applies his talent of shit talking to his gameplay. I was playing him earlier today, and his May got me to the point of screaming at the top of my lungs like a fucking scrub. Everybody in the arcade turned around and stared at us.
This pint sized bitch is so annoyingly overprioritzed, and her size itself makes her safe all the time, not one time have I seen him RC/FRC something. Those stupid dolphins can really shake you up.
May is so broken, that the guy actually counts how many hits before he makes me dizzy and successfully get a free easy instakill.
He doesn’t FRC the dolphins? How does he rush down with May? Also, who do you use. May’s got quite a few bad matchups
I’ve tried so many characters. Johnny, Dizzy, Testament (I couldn’t count on the poison bloodpool counterattack too long) Zappa, Bridget, Faust, Anji (it was my first day playing him, and kinda learned him fast after watching a really sick Anji in a A-Cho video). I would’ve used Sol, but I didn’t want to be a high tier Sol zombie like everybody else. It’s like once he pulls a crouching dust, off come the dolphins (46/28FS). He throws them from all angles so fast, he even knocks me back down on wakeup.
And BTW I freakin’ hate her voice and that corny ass “Ring-Around-The-Rosy” win pose is so irritating for the loser to look at!
I can’t stand her either. Bitch dragged my Sol a few weeks back.:bluu: I had never seen her garbage before, so I got owned hard. Plus, I couldn’t FRC GF to save my life. When I could, I did damage. When I didn’t…Dolphin Loop.>_<
JO vs Sol and Eddie pls. i play JO and i am having trouble delivering dmg to Sol or ED.
big thanks in advance.
Uh … …
Okay. First of all, it sounds like you don’t know how to play a character yet. So, my first suggestion is to learn 1 character and stick with them.
Secondly, it sounds like you’re kinda a noobie with your “not wanna be a sol zombie lolllercopterz!” comment. If you don’t want to “exploit” your character’s potential, you should really look into an easy game. Like Stomp’em Spider or Ribbit Racer.
Third-ly (woohoo madeupword), A beginnier May is probably one of the easiest things to destroy. Use a character’s 6p on any of her dolphin attacks -> fat air-combo that [sarcasm]isn’t skill-less like dustloop [/sarcasm]. Block her 2D ->random dolphin and run up throw or just … I dunno, use Slayer and pilebunker the slut.
And finally; Don’t learn like 209480934898143 characters at once! Look back at the first step and lather-rinse-repeat.
That’s what you told me and I haven’t been defeated yet. Stomp’em Spider champion of the /world/ bitches
When going Johnny vs anybody its all about the coin from what Ive seen pro Johnny’s do in SoCal. IF you wanna see some good Johnny vs Sol matchup vids goto ftp://srk:tot@169.231.13.209
As for May problems dude I understand what you mean, if you wanna see an uber May though you gotta watch Purrin play! Hes got May down so well and locks you down. Mays I think F Kick or just standing K cant be grabbed which allows her to rush easy on people without Wake ups!
Now my Question, what are Dizzy’s Bad and Good matchups? Im gonna throw one out and say she cant play well vs Axl, Ky or Slayer
