What he said. I’ve been playing online with Lucretz, and when I did the spot-dodge trick he hit me all of once with the Dragoon, and that was due to me fucking up the timing on my buffering.
Speaking of that, how do you get Brawl videos from your TV to your computer, Keits? I’m looking to do what you do.
I got a cheap USB video-in device and im using run-of-the-mill video capture software and uploading to youtube.
Can you be a bit more specific, like…name brands and stuff?
No offense, but…how does that count? I can’t GI things I know are coming in SC4 online. Hell, I can’t BLOCK things I know are coming in SC4 online. Online doesn’t count.
^ Depends on how bad the input lag is. There have been games for me where it’s been nonexistant, just as how there’ve been games for me where it was so terrible it was unplayable.
just what in the world is non-existant for you I mean hell I notice the damn lag between me pressing on my controller and it appearing on a old Tv, let alone and LCD or online.
any more than 4 extra frames of lag caused by internet lag, which would make about 6 frames of total lag for me is just too much for me to play without whining all the time.
Please, lets not turn this into a debate about lag or latency or input delay.
I agree that when it relates to the dragoon, online is not a valid test vs Spot Dodge Buffering. Don’t assume, try it live before you jump to conclusions.
I wasn’t saying that my skill was gauged online or anything. Decent practice though, it helps me improve my stage control and all that.
I’m leaving most of the testing to you dude. I was just playing to prove All-Brawl is awesome.
I’ll have to try it sometime. But I really think that, for anyone that CAN hit just frames (even easy ones) it shouldn’t be a problem. I mean, look at people that verify supers in various games off of one hit (3S, CVS2, etc.). Those are completely on reaction.
Hitting people MORE reliably with the dragoon is something you can definitely learn to do. Learning when each character is vunerable might take a while, but its definitely possible. Even then, you are assuming your opponent will just spam spotdodge and never try to throw off your rhythm.
either way, if it kills 100% of the time, 0%, or anywhere in between, its part of the game and I’m ready to deal with it. (Also, wall teching can save you from a hit 
)
Tbh I don’t think the Dragoon is an item that needs to be concerning folks. If ANY item needs to be concerning folks, it’s the Bumper, but even that can be avoided, baited, and countered.
And its BLOCKABLE.
The Bumper is? Fucking righteous!
Keits, I swear, you basically single-handedly made me love this game again. Sucks that I can’t talk about it on any website that’s not SRK without being told that the Cracker Launcher is a free win if you pick it up.
Fucking Ankoku is such a self-important asshole.
thats the way I feel I say 1 thing like cracker launcher/hammer sucks and its all n00b n00b n00b, and stuff same thing whenever I question the unbeatable chars like WOLF, I figured it out pretty fast that he wasn’t the best, only took a few dozen rounds of 1 v 1 to find ways to gimp him and to bait his punishing moves, though I still am kinda suprised he isn’t higher on the high list, and I never thought toon link was any better than regular link, the only prob reg link has is like 3 characters gimp him so hard its no contest. Im also questioning MKs epicness right now,ZSS(lol neutral air, back air, up air, and up B) and sheik(lol daggers, back air, and up air.) seem to do pretty damn good against him :looney: , now Im not saying he sucks just ppl keep saying unbeatable which is a bunch of crap.
incase anyone questions why the cracker launcher sucks, its cause you can block a few hits dodge it and dodging behind your opponent gives you a free hit against him cause he can’t do shit, and it takes like 4-5 hits in a row to kill and it doesn’t have that many shots.
The spring is far more dangerous than the bumper, even though the bumper is more impactful and scary… the spring is totally unblockable.
edit- cracker launch does NOT suck, but its not godly either.
Dead serious guys. Someone was discussing the Spring one time and he brought up the ‘unblockable’ thing. His example for why it was bad was that he could get a spring, throw it to force a spot dodge, then follow up.
I’ll repeat that, just so it can sink in.
*His example for why it was bad was that he could get a spring, throw it to force a spot dodge, then follow up. *
Last time I checked, that was called mindgames, and that was totally ok. Just goes to show how people can sometimes be so biased against something, they’ll even ignore what they know is ok just to try to justify being against it.
Haha All-brawl was fun at the Neo Summer Gathering. Definitely gotta thank you, Keits.
At least the springs arn’t purple turtle shells. 
Angry Purple Crabs!!! Thank you too, Ravepulse
MN Meltdown event had more entires for all-brawl than swf-brawl.
