They stop as soon they hit the first target (be an assist or a point character).
basically finish arcade mode a bunch of times. i think hsien-ko unlocks on the 3rd (but could be 4th) completion.
Not even. I got 3500 Player Points for beating arcade mode yesterday.
Which assist is best for her? From what you guys have been seeing.
I am liking Hsien KO-Y/Trish-B/Chun-Y
I just wanna see if thats the right assist.
Well, sorry to disappoint but I probably won’t get to go back to Best Buy today after all. Girlfriend’s coming over. I got priorities fellas. Will go tomorrow for sure though.
Hsien Ko A by a country mile.
DF Hsien Ko pendulum assist may be the best in the game, no joke.
Went through kikosho yesterday. Smacked chun in the face!
LMAO, awesome!
Timers freeze as an assist, right?
I haven’t been paying much attention to the characters with power up hypers
Is her A assist the pendulum?
I played Versus mode with another player for 4 hours and unlocked all 4 unlockable characters. Try that.
yes her first assist (Senpu bu) is the Pendulum. DF Senpu bu as assist is gdlk it just goes through everything
a assist is pendlum yes. Did manage to go play one arcade mode playthrough today and got a 110 + hit combo off a bad assist call. Made Doom assisst bleed pretty badly. Hsien Ko wasn’t in on that one though (lack of meter), I imagine I could’ve gotten 200 percent damage (or pretty close) if I’d had the meter for the third hyper.
I know people have mentioned this already, but she’s really slow. Even with her tele-dash and air-dashing, it’s very hard to go against anyone that’s faster than you. Once you get locked down in block stun, it’s very hard to counter-attack without getting hit.
The worst part about this is that she’s extremely squishy with having almost no mobility.
The only character that shares her characteristics (slow and squishy) is Arthur, but he has spammable projectiles. And more damage too.
imo, if you’re going to use Hsien-Ko as point, you need Sentinel for his sentinel force assist. I know a lot of you are going to complain about Sentinel, but Lei-Lei really needs all the help she can get from her assists.
Here’s some good points about her though:
-Her standard bnb leads to OTG supers (I think we all knew this already)
-Very long range on her normals
-Her super where she drops spiked balls can combo to Tenraiha through 2 ways (afaik): KFC and getting hit while doing the super. The latter is because the balls will continue to drop once she gets the first hit in.
lol at tier talk this early.
But didn’t you know? MvC2 was figured out before release even! Blackheart and Iceman top tier 4 lyfe yo.
Sentinel raiting: 2/5.
You should be able to advance guard in most instances that don’t involve assists that set up unblockables, no?
It’s weird, because Hsien was considered rushdown but is balls slow. However. crouching H moves you a fair distance, stand H and towards H hit 3/4 of the screen away, and Sempuu Bu/A Anki Hou are pretty fast. If you get the non-statue item, you can B Anki Hou into A Anki Hou and they’re on screen at the same time. Mashing Pendulum behind an assist that puts things on the screen can get her in and out decently safely while putting the lockdown and mixup in.
So she seems to be a midrange poking/zoning character that gets nasty in the corner. It’s just weird that capitalizing off of a dizzy requires Pendulum instead of dashing; her movement style is going to take a great deal of getting used to.
She is rushdown, she just has highly unconviential and situational movement options that work better on mixup than for moving around the stage (outside of Darkforce). If you want Ko in, just trade her in with supers, something she is incredibly capable of doing.
I dunno if I’d call her rushdown. Maybe “passive agressive,” lol. She looks like she’d be most effective by harassing the opponent when she’s just out of his melee range and then moving in after scoring some kind of opening.
