Louis pls go.
please do OMG, ur trolling is weak sauce, come on swing for the cheap seats, say I was the result of my dads burst condom or something, yawn so tepid in your trolling man, i thought this was the interwebs, the medium that invented insulting quips and memes such as pools closed…
Wow…Trolls here aren’t even funny you guys try to damn hard =/
I’m not trying to troll you. I’ve called you dumb, but that’s not trolling, that’s just telling you what I think you are. In all seriousness, I will play you online right now and try to show you why aiming to be a better online player is a dumb goal.
I can see what your saying, may not be the best way to play the game or learn it but its the only means that accessible to me right now, like you said no local players I know unfortunately.
its funny though your telling me outright to just quit, yet the other level-headed players on the akuma thread gave me some tough love and said to stick it out and keep at it especially if its something I really want to do… (yes I will admit I was a whiney cretin but hey water under the bridge learnt my lesson…)
getting mixed signals here…
If you wanna play online, then ya, just tough it out, play games, learn how to abuse online, whatevs. If you wanna play real (offline) 3S, your options are most likely move or quit.
Do you have local buddies or a local scene to play with? That’s where I learn the most. Even if the scene is small it’s still better than ranked.
shrug I guess… well not sure if I should continue thread, but yea anyone free to give me pointers? (maybe tomorrow I need sleep lol)
I am not asking to be 1337 like kuroda or anything but be nice to place half way decently rather than feeling scared to do anything else but spam air hadous all the time… is basically what I meant sorry for the confusion.
IglooBob: sorry didnt see ur response m8, um There is a club that does tournaments a few miles away from me, was thinking of entering when I got a bit better but I suppose if I really want to get good and if thats my option then might give it a shot and see if I can take a few decent players to one side and ask for pointers.
Your a fucking moron. And i no position to be giving advice seeing as how you can’t even troll right.
I am gonna go get some sleep, but yea add me my xbox handle is Patashnikk if u guys want a few games. thanks again
I’ll add you later and we can play some sets. I warn you, though, I don’t use lag tactics or run routine setups too often, if ever, so you might not learn too much about how to play Akuma online. I’m still da bess, though.
One more thing, BlachHombre is a pretty good ONLINE (yeah I said it! :p) akuma. You could definitely learn something from him. I’m still da bess, though.
As an online only dood for some time… those guys are probably not good if they sit around and grind it out in Ranked for points. [S]Name those busters to see how many I blow up and I’m relatively weak![/S] I might win a match, put up the replay of only their name in the title, saying this guy is Rank 22, GG. Low level 3rd strike trolling among anything you can do in 3s to troll, but just for the distinction of high rank does not = good 3s player. Ranks continue going up like this RobertThunder dude with 4000 losses, top Remy? Nope.
Don’t confuse trolls who add nothing to anybody’s scene and play no games as being part of the 3s boards. He, perhaps thought you an easy target kick you while you’re down. Make him an easy target to be ignored thru the profile options.
I’ll add you, poe22222 and N0M0reFunland wouldn’t say no to an add either and those guys main Akuma and constantly improve through XBOX version. We can play sets to see how they play and put things together as a whole. Not errant combos alone when you need either momentum or a general feel, of total control of your high offensive potential, low defense in Health, Gouki. Or general feel only gained thru experience how matches in 3s go, with things that may work, but we can tell you they are bad, work online only, habits.
You never want to copy someone’s style completely, it just won’t happen that way. But take the best parts of them or the parts you understand the most and become your version of Gouki.
Oh last thing, since we do walls of text back to you… as that other thread went and many things will just not get read or understood while you’re quick to post more recite game facts you heard without the in game feel of any of them ( * ),
just answer this direct question:
What region/time zone are you in?
As no amount of games under terrible connection will really help anybody.
( * ) -[details=Spoiler] “I’ve see some players play by the book exactly and are stuck wondering why they didn’t win. Its a detriment that can hold you back. No need to be rigid and think it will work 100% of the time because you practiced it 100 thousand times. Things change in game, pace of the match, parry resets, spacing etc.”[/details]
Don’t fucking like my post you retard. I wish you and people like you fathers had flushed you rather than fucked up and knocked up their own sister. Fucking idiot.
Use the ignore button to avoid such a confrontation.
Likes are no big deal despite our work-a-day, click a day facebook world now invading forums. I wanted to like your last post to make you calm down some. 17, Oakland?! Stay safe dude… tho its no big deal out there as the CvS2 bay area thread says, some guy really scared to walk from BART to a meetup. Also ever been to the Game Museum in Oakland? MADE is it?
I do think they play the fighters there…!
yeah man anytime, if u got a mic i will gladly give u some tips. add me on xbl. my gamertag is in my signature.
and don’t listen to OMG, i play online (and never played anyone offline) and I was one of the best 3s players at the CEO casuals station.
thanks guys sorry if I posted reactionary bs towards omg, will use the ignore feature that u guys mentioned. but yea to answer your question Akuma-hax, my region is united kingdom (wales) and my connection is usually green but sometimes yellow (I have a good connection especially when playing US players). I am usually on when I can get on but should be on tonight if u guys wana play (I would say 7pm on wards which should be 2pm onwards your time I believe). once in a while I can get momentum going but for the most part cause I am alittle inexperienced I semi play a defensive akuma (already a bad thing) to try and get used to player habits so i can learn to effectively counter but also cause my offensive is alittle predictable ( toasteh made a good point in the other thread I posted that I tend to jump in way to much, which you guys might find me doing out of habit so yea I really need to work on my ground game).
thanks again though for your support guys and hope to see u online =)
9 hour time difference and that amount of Km distance and computers relaying info between us.
It will not work very well. Online should be the last resort for you to get better, by playing us a few oceans away. GGPO can be better by choosing your opponent via distance, or internet connection, “ping.” Stay under 120 if you can is a general guideline, under 100 even better.
In the other topic on “Help…” akuma character forum, You said you do have better connection friends, or offline pals improving at a better rate? Remember to listen to them when you ask for them to gauge your skills. They know why you’re losing to them and see holes in your game right there during the match they take advantage of. And how they play their characters can show you 3s just as much as your readings on ‘top level Akuma things.’
No don’t preface every question with, ‘I read this I know this works because and why didn’t it work when I did it.’ Ask a general question, let them finish speaking and understand their answer. Don’t interrupt as you may have lost your chance at them losing track of their thoughts and having to stop. Yeah if it continues a line of questioning when they stop, feel free to continue with questions that way.
Sorry that there are not many beginner Tutorials to start with first, but general gameplay stuff will be there in “thongboy bebop’s 3rd strike tutorial,” while learning to block comes with playing any fighting games. Understand it may be best to block and wait for your opening or block things you do not know the best way to handle yet. Block is usually the best choice, parry when you can read what’s coming next or you have been in these setups before and know its an opening when you can parry the next move.
Did anyone ask you to consider, not blockstring, parry, combos best punish, mixups do it all learn it all at once
but
Spoiler
Here is a corner setup. They are waking up. Think about your options while standing at an optimal range:
> Hitting “Meaty”
– Overhead,
– low MK to start a combo,
– close MK or HP if they are down parry attempting and now you can hit them high (combo after just the same)
– Hurricane kick, LK versus using HK there (whiff punish section possibly, as they force the pressure and unsafe on block)
– Far HP (after backing up even more room possibly for more distance)
– n.Jump Air Zankuu, time to walkup and do more meaties, throw them if they parry, etc.
> Waiting for their action then whiff punishing
- Sweep
- Parry,
– your choice afterwards with something
—and what’s best is now range dependent, they’re crouching, or more, including even parry once then block might be smart with their cancellable into invincible specials or supers even tho yeah you did parry that hit.
Or try anything else you might want to try there, maybe practice mode set this up and learn by doing not only in reading this is best, this is the only one, strict guidelines. If you don’t know why this might be the best or have 3 versions of a best case scenario what to use when, then your “1st best way” as far as you got, won’t work >>everytime<< and you will be confused.
this is all part of “mixing someone up.”
How you get them to the corner is a different set to learn. you might benefit from learning what to do when you put them there (or they put themselves there) first - to be a stronger player, Akuma or anyone else, before learning all kinds of things and trying to put them all together.
Shit, just watching your opponent, knowing the matchup or not, lets you know what you can use or try to use depending on what they did. They’re not going to just walk into your combos. But will leave openings for damage eventually.
>> Now read this several times, not say “yeah I get it” then quickly dart off to other things.
Ask ?'s only after a read and re-read. Especially since I keep editing this for clarity… or maybe loss of clarity with new things added. <<
And all this didn’t even include what if they blocked all those moves, parried them, and baits to not show your hand with walk up standing and do exactly what it looks like you’re going for. Gimmicky in the end game, but with flow of the match, people do it to you, it is something to note. Maybe you might like finding out your way to do that.
new players…for the love of god please stop making akuma your main especially if you play online mostly
What’s wrong with playing a character you like? Akuma is badass incarnate not surprising new players like him.
