Pandora tech finding thread (ver 2013)

Sorry, I have a questionable humor that makes me come out like a jerk sometimes.

Let me re-phrase that: Half of your vid showed good uses of Pandora (although there was repetition of the same concept), but the other half showed a lot of impractical and bad (yes, horrible) uses of Pandora. Like, raw Pandora activation into lucky jump in or full screen EX move that somehow connected for whatever reason. What I’m saying is I don’t want players to think those are good or smart ways to use Pandora. They’re horrible and that would be like encouraging them to jump a lot or mash buttons while blocking. So seeing my name in there but not seeing any of my contributions to me is like I’m supporting the content and ideas shown of the video, which I’m not haha.

There’s a reason why I’m not adding every video posted here in OP. I’ll let you do that with your playlist, but I’d like OP to have only the best and most practical uses of pandora. Because I don’t want to encourage people to try things that look cool but suck in practice. (btw that doesn’t mean that if a vid wasn’t put in OP it necessarily sucks. I might just have not seen it yet or it could be a repetition of a same idea that’s already shown or whatever).

But I wasn’t saying that you were dumb or anything like that. So don’t worry about it. I’m not mad or anything, it’s fine really. :slight_smile:

Wow. I feel like my video just got shot down. But y’know what, you’re right. Alot of those were dumb and scrubby and I should have never added them >_> Cause it’s not like it matters anymore anyway. It was supposed to be a collection of some of the best pandora stuff in general but when you put it like that it’s as if I’m hurting the way pandora looks instead of helping, I always suspected that’s why some vids were never put in OP. Hmph. It was a good run in deed. Maybe I should just stop making pandora vids altogether, rofl.

Come on man, don’t see it like that… Your contributions are appreciated and all. I know you worked hard on that vid too. The video editing is awesome I just think half of the ideas presented are like whatever.

God, I suck at this LOL. This is why I can’t get bitches, I’m too honest.

EDIT: btw, just to be clear I didn’t put some of your videos in OP because they were essentially repeating the same concept that you put in another video. For example: you made 4 vids about how you can combo into Pandora from a counter hit crumple, I only put 1 of them in OP. The one where you showed the best and most optimized combos with the best gem setups. I didn’t see the point in putting similar vids showing the same idea but with poorer damage or setup. Hope that’s more clear. I also didn’t see the point in showing 40 examples of how you can combo into pandora after a wall bounce. Only 1-2 example is enough to illustrate each concept. Sorry again for being so bad at explaining things.

lol.

Haha, gotcha :wink: Even though some of what I said was serious I was mostly kidding. It was a way of getting you back for your rather alarming humor from before. Like I said I already get why the vids wouldn’t appear in the original post. So no worries =>

:wink: I’m away for the weekend and all of a sudden Pandora is hot. And then this thread happened too. Nevertheless I’m excited about the Pandora changes.

I’m exited to hit the lab in earnest. After my day 1 feels and my worries, it feels like they did it right.

V2013 can’t get here fast enough.

Dunno about did it right or wrong or anything, but it’s certainly intrigued me enough that I’d want to hit the lab yeah. But only when I’ve gotten a feel for how everything’s changed first. It’d be effort to try and do Pandora things when I haven’t even adjusted to the changes (even if some aren’t so big). We’ll see

@Tuna&Vulcan: Give each other a hug! :smiley:

We’ve been talking about Gief and how it could benefit him if he appeared closer to his opponent. Now it’s gonna happen. Don’t you think Pandora is a buff to Gouki and Gief?
With Pandora Power Gem equipped you can whiff punish a 5 frame move with his Super which results in 440 Damage and still have a few seconds left in Pandora.

Anyone going to SCR? Saw on twitter they’re having 2013 stations. Will anyone going there test the new Pandora and post their impression here? Maybe try some new Pandora setups while you’re at it

^ That would be cool. We should definitely try to break the crap out of the new Pandora mechanic so that if it’s overpowered it gets nerfed asap before it’s too late.

EDIT: I guess I should just remove everything from OP and start over from scratch come 2013. This thread will become filled with misinformation soon.

Nice to see you’re still around Vulcan =) Hope to see you with some new hotness when 2013 drops :tup: 'Cause I will be pumping videos again when it does as well~

No need to go as far as to delete everything, cause then it’d truly feel like all our work was for nothing, haha. Best to remain this thread to ‘Vanilla SFxT’ or ‘Vanilla Pandora’ thread or whatever and then make a whole new thread and go from there. That way all the vanilla stuff is still in one place, in tact for anyone to refer to. Just a suggestion but you are calling the shots so it’s up to you. But I think we should definitely keep this here as long as we rename it

Well atleast we know some ground bound moves will now be use full for combos.

On the bright side, I’m sure all your efforts will still be relevant to the PC players for a while. They are unfortunately still dealing with curse that keeps them stuck in the past. Still, I’m going to miss some of these tactics and strategies. Managed to get quite a few Pandora wins thanks to these.

Just downloaded the patch and trying new Pandora stuff with my Nina/Cammy team. Nina’s blonde bomb (charged) to crumple cancel to Pandora into Cammy’s super art. About 500 damage for a no meter combo. EX Skull splitter into Pandora into Cammy super art. Again about 500 damage for one bar. Pandora is now a real comeback mechanic. There is also a gem that does 20% damage when your partner’s health is at 25%. That does still work with Pandora.

And here’s one that is too simple. Against jump ins: use Nina’s new invincible anti air, lk geyser cannon. Go into Pandora while the opponent is still in the air. Go into super art. Works with Cammy, works with Juri. That’s about 400 damage for no meter at all. All for a bad jump in.

Sunnavabitch. Though I can’t say I’m surprised, cause I already have ideas for the Pandora vid I’m gonna make later today. It’s gonna be some shit, haha

Just tried the new Pandora. Man, with Cody’s new EX Zonk, itseems any touch can be finished with Pandora -> Super. Plus, the longer pandora timer combined with pandora extend+speed gem on Ogre gives me a lot of time to chase people with increased agility.

And good info on the damage gem Nerfherder, going to test it out.

Guys I’m scared. o_O This is starting to sound a lil’ too easy.
