Thanks everyone, and especially @“DevilJin 01” for the in depth critique. I will put all of this into my attempts to keep moving forward. Reached Ultra Silver last night just by being more analytical about what my opponents were trying to do and doing better anti airs.
If I had people playing like this all the time I would definately been past gold a long time ago. This can also teach bad habits as you are going up the ranks. If I really wanted some solid matches, do battle lounge instead. It will teach better if yu are trying to learn something out of it. Rank teaches me how to adapt through different skill levels without having to rely on my opponent being an ‘idiot’. That is not a good way to approach at higher ranks, or when your opponent knows what they are doing. Because then what did I just learn from beating from rookie to gold?
ITT: We disregard the thread title
It all fits. Its an all encompassing tech and question asking thread.
Was referring to the “I’ll never cut corners in my practice” part.
Ah lol
I knew that would get taken the wrong way, but no worries.
If something works, use it. Adapting to the skill level of your opponent is not a shortcut, a bad habit, or a gimmick; as long as you understand why you’re doing it, and why it’s working.
you dont learn anything though.
a bad match against masher is a good way to learn traps, setups and combo you tried to pull off 10 times but never could
If their mashing, odds are your setups, traps, etc won’t work tbh. Your best bet is to just hit them with meaty st.mp out of raida because they’ll be caught pressing buttons a majority of the time.
you’ll eat a dp most likely Kappa
idk its kinda funny for me in a way that its a guessing game of "will he mash the fuck out of this dp this time after i blocked it last time"
good opportunity to do safejumps
Tbh, It is not really the case of taking things the wrong way, it’s just that people have different approaches. If you choose to stay solid, go ham, or to try something out for the sake of learning, it’s still practice at the end of the day. I do agree that adapting is important, I do that alot in my gameplay. I only disagreed to the part that doing the same set up on different people may not always work; its rather the opposite of adapt; more like autopilot.
Yall certainly know this already, but just because I’m always trying to get my mixup game better and spend less meter with ibuki, you can pretty easily loop s.mk tc into another one with meaty s.mp, love it. 2fr window
best part is mp-f.mk and if they start blocking that you can try cr.mp xx lp raida
So does anyone use the delayed bomb at all? I find that, while the bomb is powerfull for mix ups and combos, just having it out there makes people more heasitant to push buttons thus leading to even more mix-up potential because they are scared.
I feel like the delayed bombs are kinda pointless because all your doing is delaying her mixup which in turn delays your damage. Your better off just doing the neutral bomb because you have hard to blockables that lead to decent damage. Where as if you were to do the delayed bomb its possible for your opponet to get away from the bomb a lot easier than if you just do neutral bomb.
Also how do you quote the person’s name your responding to?
Delayed bomb is best in neutral to keep something on screen to reload your kunais and get space.
Use @ in front of their name to mention them
Ex.kunai blowing up bomb does more damage than ex kunai + bomb explosion lol
ex.kunai bomb explosion = 195 damage, 190 stun
ex.kunai = 60 damage, 100 stun
bomb explosion = 100 damage, 100 stun
I don’t know if this is usefull or known but i was playing around with the delayed bomb a bit.
Nice concepts, but the problem is I think they’re ruined if someone blocks and V Reversals you and they have gaps to be jabbed or DP’d out also. It will be tough to get those to work on high level players without a lot of switching around and putting yourself in a situation where the bomb will end up being useless.
Like the set up in the first video loses to the opponent not teching. Maybe there’s some room to mess around with it though.
