Pandora tech finding thread (ver 2013)

Already asked Dawtanian about that, nothing changes except the additional 3 seconds.

Personnaly I hope they will fix the teleport. Not being able to catch my opponent after a bounce/Wallbounce is stupid to me.

Well, Hades and Justice had informed me of that…so…ya…thanks? o_O

and…I have no issue with comboing into Pandora…so…im fine the way it is…I asked because I wanted to seek out any Stealth nerfs…

I had a few matches with someone online who was pretty good at using pandora effectively and when needed (I’m not yet). I was going to chip ko dudley with Jack’s hard drive and he went into pandora with gief which made me pass through him and then I was killed with a super instantly. I need to upload this clip

Congrats guys! You are all ahead of the game. I have a feeling that “Pandora” may save this game and “hype” will come back.

Great thread! Thanks alot!

Heh, if you think so. And you’re welcome if it helped you out.

Side note, and this is not particularly important but more of an aesthetic appeal. In arcade each character has different game winning quotes, and I don’t mean the ones at the end of the match post-grade, i.e. the character specific/team specific quotes, I mean the verbal phrase they say as they defeat them; for example if you kill someone in arcade with Jin using a normal he says ‘You’re wasting time’ and if it’s a super he says ‘You were very impressive’. If this isn’t news to you, fair enough. But get this; if you kill the arcade opponent with Pandora they say something completely different. I remember using Lars in arcade, and lately I’ve managed to kill the Pandora bosses (Bison/Juri in this case) with Pandora a few times. Nothing special, more of a pop it and go ham cause it’s the computer, haha. And usually my tv volume is down cause I’m talking to my friends when I play arcade, but I noticed when I killed the computer with Pandora when my volume was up Lars said something different 0_0 Didn’t quite catch it, but I think he said ‘what’s the point’ or something, was creepy. This must mean every character’s got a Pandora win phrase. Sorry if you read this far and thought I’d reveal something ground breaking, but since I’m a bit of an arcade monster in SFxT (play it the most) I thought it was pretty awesome. But rest assured I’m still thinking of more Pandora tech regardless :stuck_out_tongue:

I pulled another one from my ass recently:

I think I found “my way” of using Pandora. Thanks you gentlemen for sparking the idea. I literally have my anchors set up for a “just in case, punish 'em” mindset now, and it’s been working out well. With the super and pandora atk+ gems, there’s always a threat of Pandora looming, especially when used on characters like Cammy, Julia, Nina, and Law.

I still have a long way to go with it (there’s been times I’ve used it as a Hail Mary way too earlier and paid for it dearly… overreacting FTL), and I do want to get more interesting punishes (like out of the corner or through fireballs or as an AA) but that’ll take time and I have some fundamentals that need work first. XD

EDIT: Also, for kicks:

Clever bastard.

Awesome stuff man, and they’re both in today’s Daily Blast btw =]

Anyone got any ideas for Law/Steve/Zangief. From reading through this thread and watching the videos it seems im on the right track when i have Law first and Steve as backup. I pandora and Steve comes in with Increase attack and decrease meter usage and just do EX-dash, LP over and over. I think i got around 600-700 before time run out. as for zangief all i see happening is 360 which could still be a TON of damage.

NOTE: i haven’t tested these yet. As for law i was think EX-punch into dragon kick so i can get the wall bounce and then cr.MPxxsuper but maybe i don’t have the time to punish like that.

I actually tried something simpler recently with Law, almost certain I had enough time for EX SSK into super, and it was all connecting and it was going to be so fucking boss.

…but I forgot. Full super won’t connect on Hugo. :mad:

Dropped it and was sooooooo upset with myself for forgetting that, lol.

Still, what you’re suggesting is worth a shot, and provided the extra 3 seconds are still added to Pandora in the upcoming update it could work.

Wait so hugo can’t get supered by OTG with Law’s super? like EVER? man i still new to this whole tryin tp find tech in the lab stuff. Also, how do you put your mains at the bottom like that? Im playing SFxT, GGXX^C+, TTT2 also. Are you waiting on Chrono Phantasma too?

It’s his signature~

on topic though, I’ve been goofing around with using Poisons super as a anti-air pandora punish…it’s worked out a few times…it’s pretty freaking silly looking too…I just need to get this capture card to show you guys some of this stuff.

Yeah, my friend Don Wulong main Hugo so I get a lot of practice against him lol. But yeah, it whiffs on most bigs I think (Hugo, Gief, Marduk?), I’ll have to double-check. Against most that would work though.

Also yeah, that’s just my sig. You can set it from your profile page. I don’t have anything interesting to say there so I just figure it’s cool to let people know who/what I play. I’m looking forward to Chrono Phantasma, though like GG I’ll likely only play heavily when asked. I enjoy both games, though I’m more fond of the GG series.

Warning: I’m assssssssss in both games. XD

DO EEEET

My goal is at some point to get a pandora combo out of Juri’s AA into {anchor} and win a match with it next. Also going to keep working on the punishes, see if I can make it consistent. The main problem I have with it right now is that the d,d motion makes it more difficult to do on reaction, so I do have to make a read (ie., I know they’re going fot chip or something with slow startup).

Hey guys, been watching this thread for a while now. Really good stuff.

Decided to post because I saw a really interesting Pandora video on ssf4evo’s channel.

[media=youtube]SFkPfvzfybs[/media]
(Starts around 26:30. There’s a couple of other uses of Pandora throughout the video as well.)

No combos or punishing, just straight up bullying his opponent. This can be pretty scary with the right gems and characters. With the timer increase and roll punishes, it could be really dangerous in the future.

Oh wow…why didn’t that Ryu run away? He signed his own fate by staying near Nina, I mean those overheads were coming for real. But this is great, between seeing yet another Pandora vid on the ranked matches from this channel, as well as hearing my friends do them and get wins (one of my fellow Team BBC members got over 10 wins with Pandora yesterday, with King no less!!). People are finally beginning to understand its worth, and this is exactly what I’ve wanted; for people to recognize that when their back is against the wall they gotta push back by activating it, it’s the whole reason I made these tech videos to help people understand it and get people started. Damn, I’m so proud of what we’ve done here Drama king Haha.

Nice, I watched the one at 17:05 with Dudley and Nina, that’s the one where you put yourself in the corner to reduce the pushback =D

Holy Shit that Pandora Extend Gem really works…you seen how long it lasted? It was X-Factor! jk jk but still that shit was madness! I like it

I’m starting to use Pandora a little too much lol. I almost hit a raw Pandora combo in the OTS yesterday… Was just a couple frames slow in my execution! Argh…

Did get a couple more in matches though. Nina is really good for Pandora bullying!

It may have taken 9+ months but it looks like people are starting to “get” Pandora. :slight_smile:

Hopefully we’ll see more Pandora Hype!

I’ll say. My friend Holynido’s been fighting Dawgtanian, and both of them are using Pandora, in fact there was a match where they BOTH got Pandora kills on each other. I think this is what needs to happen; the mindset that you might as well Pandora from low health, and good things happen. But man oh man am I jelly that I still aint got a Pandora kill
