Chun-Li level 3 super is giving me a lot of trouble. Maybe because it’s online and I can’t react, but once it comes out half my life bar is gone. Any tips?

Also I think I’ve learned a lot about Lightan and I think I’ll start posting vids of my fights and you can tell me how I do.

12

I tried to get in a match with you tonight but you never saw my friend challenge…

Looking forward to the vids. It’ll help a lot in trying to help see where your gameplay flaws are.

13

Haha weird, I also tried to send you a friend challenge. I was playing a lot of free battles last night so I don’t know if you can see friend challenges during matches. I’ll try to be on 8-ish.

Alright, so I officially quit maining Lightan. I’ve had nothing but problems online and it’s really pissing me off.

So I’ll play somebody with a team, have a nice game , and request a rematch. Then either they’ll pick PTX-40A or Megaman. This is where I have problems. Usually if they pick PTX-40A they’ll just spam the rockets. It seems Lightan has no priority over any of PTX’s moves and I usually just embarrass myself. If they pick Megaman they’ll just do machine gun, pbuster,machine gun, pbuster, etc. and I can’t find any way around it. I did win one game, but it was boring and tedious. So hopefully my arcade stick will come and I can start on my Karas/Doronjo.

Maybe I’ll bring him out once in awhile, but as for now it’s futile.

Never give up! Never surrender! Goooooold cruuuushuuu!!

Lol. Lightan destroys PTX with his stomps and his gold crush super. They out prioritize all of PTX40a’s moves. I usually like to keep away, cause PTX chainsaw rapes Lightan, but if you stand back and give yourself some room you can easily win, do overhead punches too, and 5B. 3C, into aerial kick, into gold crush/goldkick/goldfingercrush. Also, stomp combo’s into Lightan’s gold crush. Tank slice also knocks PTX down for a gold crash. Abuse that gold crash, it’s Lightan’s way of being able to hit stuff from full screen (as long as they are on the ground) That rapes PTX40a since he can’t super jump and has mostly ground based moves. Megaman is much harder. I usually try rushing down Megaman and corner them, do normals that lead into tank slice, then gold crush, stomp, gold crush again. It’s very abuseable.

What’s your friend code?

18

idk for some reason I don’t buy Lightan’s j.C beating Crash Interlude…

but if it does, then that’s a huge help in his matchup vs Blade

19

I know I got it on one occasion.

20

so you quit lightan huh? good for you. hes the joke character of the game you know.

21

You say that like G.Lightan is the Dan of TvC. Lightan can still win fights you know…

22

yeah but not much and he certainly cant win tournaments.

23

Actually that was just sarcasm; the purpose was to emphasize my frustrations with Lightan’s bad (or my unfamiliar) match-ups. Just give me your friend code and I’ll show you what I can do with a “joke character”.

24

You should talk to Keits about this…

25

Honestly, I think Frank West has it worse than G. Lightan. Lightan has “greatly” improved since the japanese version, he does more damage with normals, he has more HP, he has more combo’s that lead into supers. I don’t go to offline tournaments, I don’t know of any around where I live. I have placed 2nd place both times with Lightan in 2 online tournaments with 22 players. I have beaten Tekkamen teams, unless they have perfect timing with with the tekkaman assist + blade’s projectiles. Usually if they are a Tekkaman blade main or secondary, then it is a lost cause, but if they use T. Blade just to counter Lightan, and they don’t usually play him, then I often win.

26

so lightans improved huh? thats good because he needs all the help he can get. i still dont think lightan can win any offline tournaments or even place high and online changes nothin in my mind because the giants can take advantage of lag. if there was no lag in your matches then your lightans earned my respect to actually place 2nd. anyway, im not bashin lightan but i want to know if there are any offline tournament vids which feature lightan because i havent seen any.

Towards the second half. He wins a few and keep in mind this is CGoH, before he was improved.

28

a lightan beat royal? now that is shockin but ippatsuman was the only one who could fight lightan, polymar was hopeless as he has no fireballs. the 2nd half shows that lightan is hopeless against tekkaman.

29

Keits said that once people know the matchup. You can gamble on that if you go to tournaments that people won’t know how to fight against Lightan, but I’m not going to gamble on that.

I’ve also run into this. Some characters can really abuse specials and zone the shit out of Lightan.
