How do you go against people who are Just Defense Addicts!

Soo…Random Super a good way of taking on a K-groover is to attack close…beacause i know if you jump in or u jump at the same time at the time he has the advantage kind of unless i fake it all but the guy i was playing was only sometimes just defending close and now that i think about it i dont think he nows to much about when or when not to JD…if wrong on any of this plz correct me Random…the whole thing that gets me is that i used to play K-groove and be king shit at my mall and the guy used to play c and he got his ass owned but 1 month later with little or none practice i switch to A-groove and he whoops me with K…i was probably discouraged since i lost to a groove that i used to play good but oh well these sound like the words of a SCRUB so im just going to shut up:D
BTW-thanks again to everyone for the tips i had a tourny coming up in a couple of weeks and i wanted to make sure i was prepared but kick his ass this weekend if i see him there

Thank you!!! :smiley: :smiley:

it’s all relative to the situation, but i feel that jd happy people end up losing when up close. i used to jd entire blockstrings only to get thrown, cc’ed (shoshosho), or other random stuff. once i cooled off on the jd, i realized i was better off blocking a lot of attacks.

i definately feel you should stop trying to poke him from the outside. if you want to do that, bait him out and punish his missed attacks. that works in any groove.

btw way, if he starts jd’ing your block strings, just grab him or activate and gc. it WILL work.

hope i helped you out a bit. :slight_smile:

Hey Random i really appreciate all the info u gave me…since the guy that whooped my ass is probably cocky with his JD ability i should have no problem mixing my CC in like that…
Thanks again u really helped me out
:smiley: :smiley:

i really like how some people posting here think that jd is rick james. i’m going to switch back to jd whore style and go to japan and start laying pipe. :lol:

NOBODY can JD everything or even half the moves you throw out, so whoever says that must be very predictable or exaggerating. I play K and if I tried to just sit there and JD I’d get thrown, high/low mixups, empty short jumps, etc. If you just sit there and try to JD all day you are a scrub, simple as that

Thank you everbody for posting!!!:smiley: :smiley:
With all the help everbody gave me i was able to beat the guy who had whooped my ass.
With all the strats that i was equiped with he didnt stand a chance… I also figured out if he’s gonna be a whore with JD in the air u can switch it with ur Mp or Hp or whichever button you want to use with Haomaru i guess the timing of his Mp in the air is different from his Hp in the air so i kept tricking him and racked up massive damage…and i finnaly got him in my CC’s that i had been practicing…thanks Random for telling me when he jumps in to activate, it caught him alot of times!!!
Once again Thanks to everybody who posted up there info!!!:smiley: :smiley:
