Wow, this game actually looks really fun.
Unless they suddenly decided to break the engine, let me tell you your combo is anything but unbreakable. There were a huge fucking load of invalid combos in MG1 and I believe there are in MG2. Feedback from the arcade version leads to believe that the timings to make combos unbreakable or nearly so are often even harder than in MG1. Seriously to be unbreakable means you can force your opponent into medium stagger during all the combo, which afaik is completely impossible without some rope tricks. I might be wrong and since I’m away from home for work I can’t play the game but if I’m wrong I want some solid proof.
Ashuraman is good though, which a few very good chains… as a lot of others do. but don’t give me that his strikes are among the fastest. Fast, sure but waay far from nin-pirate level anyway.
And mind explaining me why on earth and everywhere else would someone want to SS a fireball when you can parry it ?
Because parrying may get you killed+It won’t be a counter hit and won’t cause stagger.
Do you have any of your old guides saved from Guard Crush?
yo i just got the game…I’m hoping someone makes a english faq so I could understad what is in options and training mode and also a beginners faq cause im a total noob at this game
Hey, parrying has always been more dangerous than just putting up a guard but the timings are not exactly as strict as in, say, 3s for example. But then again parrying will result in a counter hit and has no stagger, unlike guard… sure theoretically you could get out of the parry’s invincibility frames before the end of the resolution of the fireball impact but iirc that’s impossible in MG. And that fireball is only good from afar or to OTG, way too much startup to use up close iirc.
wait wait wait… you’re not actually suggesting I proposed guarding the fireball, do you?
@ChopperMan: Yes, at least more or less, but I can’t access it for a week or so since I’m away. And i still got my mook of MAX (actually I think I still even have another copy somewhere). But yeah I have most if not all of it AND anyway 'tis all in my head
Btw, does anyone know if the (irish whip>cross-up>ropes) infinite pattern is still in for characters like Sneagator? (well, providing you start from the good location and manage the timings)
I should be showing up at SB3.
@festival: I would guess not, but my timings could suck too much.
After watching this vid I’m using springman for sure:
Okay boys, I’m back. No time atm but I’ll give you my feedback asap. Quite hyped to finally play the game though I’m quite pissed that they didn’t release it like 9months ago since the port must have taken like 2 weeks to acheive, and I’m including designing the manual and web site… But at least the game is here and good as ever.
P.S. Cool to count you in, Nocturnal.
Quick question: Is there a specific way to do a grab after a launcher? is it universal?
No only certain characters have specific grabs that are done during a juggle state.
Know what Robin Mask’s is off hand before I go and scour the movelist?
Thanks noc.
Some grabs can only be done during the ascending phase of the juggle, like Kevin’s Robin Special, some only during the descending phase like Kevin and Robin tower bridges
…but all of this is in the movelist, really.
Can anyone help me on this question? I know someone can answer this! sigh
^^^
The command for the “juggle” Tower Bridge is forward, forward+Grab during the opponent’s descent.
Okay after looking a little in detail, my thoughts are:
- It’s really cool to have MG2 and the game is excellent
- It really sucks that it took so long for virtually no added value save the practice mode
- This being said it’s a life-saver to have a practice mode
- The game seems like a direct port of MG2, engine-wise.
- Even so I find it a tiny bit faster than MG2 from what I saw in all the vids during last year. But then again MG2 was already definitely faster than MG so it may just be that my lack of training has ruined my reflexes (I can’t even consistently chain S>66 xx 214R with Kevin…)
Would you mind posting some of your guides festival
Really at a loss on what to do in this game
Hmmm, I’m not gonna post anything and everything but that doesn’t mean that I’m not willing to help a little. What do you want to know?
I thought I remembered seeing a basic guide to approaching the game on your site. So wondering if you could repost as a friend of mine wanted to see it.(And was asking questions I really couldn’t answer well)
but yeah can’t blame you for not wanting to repost alot. I don’t really have any specific questions though.
at least not yet. lol
Do you have any good sources for matches? I remember that huge topic you and someone else kept supplied with A-Cho shit. Wondering if you wouldn’t mind dropping a few in here every now and then
