I have never seen a real use for parrying other than giving your self an advantage at the end of a close up string or stopping your self from dyign due to chip dmg.
Like the peoples who parry 3 hit fireballs and double hit fireballs are only asking to be mixed up. It better to blokc the last hit or parry / red parry their mix up.
Ike, I agree to a certain extent, but it really depends on one’s own gameplay style and how comfortable they are with it.
For me personally, parrying is one of the key elements to my 3rd Strike game.
It’s one of the few ways I can be on the offensive while being rushed down, after getting thrown/knocked down or whatever.
Blocking, blocking and more blocking doesn’t suit my style and it doesn’t help me win matches.
You gotta control the pace of the match if you want a victory, and parrying does just that.
Rey–Don’t sweat it…I actually had to leave at 3:30 and it was 3:50 when I left. Sucks that you likely won’t make Saturday man…
Sorry to Nam and Mario for leaving so abruptly but had to go and catch next bus ASAP…good games today though
John–I’ll probably be there around noonish…tourney is planned for 1 though…I’ll still be around at 3 if you want some games though…
Nam a noob?
How can Nam be a noob when he parries better than pretty much all of Revo combined(well, Mario is up there too so maybe that’s a bit harsh.) I find it odd you’re considering Nam a noob when I played him like two/three years ago when CvS2 was first at EG back when his Bison was a serious pain in the ass… Oddly enough I remember when he parried a Rugal super into psycho crusher super…I don’t know why I remember this one incident but oh well.
… it was a joke Jaime… lol Nam is a beast… he picks up fast… kinda scary… when i saw him play Urien at my house, it was kind of scary how fast he was picking the game up… Nam is really good… he’s got the stuff i don’t have… the basics lol… but enough about talking about that crap cuz i have OTHER business to deal with.
Jaime < I’d like to put off our last match till T5 if you dont’ mind. I’d much rather have alot of time to practice and make it the best match we can both have.
" Yes…seeing how things are…i wouldnt mind if it was just another casual thing going on for 3s…seeing how theres not that many people showing…but who knows…people could, show…i dunno.
just wondering…Should i stick athena back on my team? or just stick to cammy, sak , R2 Ken?
According to rey and me, my athena sucks balls… but maby its only cause me and rey have played each other so much that he knows what im gonng do
but i must say…that ducking fierce is a very nice friend "
So when is this Team Hammer vs Team Homo-lution thing going down for 3s? I’ll play in that for 3s. It will prove my point that I’ve only played the game in a handful of sessions and why I suck at it so much. But you guys know that Team Hammer owns Team Revo for free!!!
If us four can show up tomorrow and Team Revo can all show up tomorrow, we can just do it tomorrow instead of the tourney…unless more people show up…well…I don’t know, we can just decide when we get there…
