Omar Kendall vs Clockwork
[media=youtube]_4lrFk0gSC0[/media]
I’m struggling with the Sly Cooper match-up. He’s got so many tools to get around Radec’s projectiles. The barrel, electric roll, the decoy. Keeping this bastard at a distance is fucking me up
Hit him with n.O as much as possible. I think you can punish his lightning roll with n.T. Don’t try to keep him at a distance, it won’t work for you very well because he’ll just counter your shit. Doesn’t throw beat barrel? Man, I need to figure out this matchup more. It’s really bad.
I think so.
What is the exact properties of the barrel even, I’ve never played Sly. I just know it’s annoying.
All I know is that it reflects n.O and then you get stuck with a grenade. :n
I find myself playing more and more FP. She’s fun.
I just have to learn to be more patient, because I keep getting her lvl 1 stuffed or missing. Gotta figure out how to set up things. Sending in the divekick assist (air f.C) into groups of 2 or more people and then doing lvl 1 on landing seemed to work pretty well.
Lots of Slys around, but most of them don’t seem very good. I’m getting so tired of Sly lvl 3 that I try to throw any Sly I meet as much as possible.
Radec is so fucking good. Not too sure on how to go about using his level 1 super but goddam if he isn’t all around solid.
Fat Princes is pretty interesting because all the minions have that delay to them.
For FP some combos if I remember right into lvl 1 are
Butt Drop -> level 1 = Really hard to setup and if you whiff butt drop you probably going to get combo’d
regular combo -> Sword Guy -> lvl 1 = Sorry i forget notation in this game as its been a bit since I played it, but if you do the AAA string or whatever into sword guy for the stun I believe that combos,t hen you can lvl 1 after it, though I remember someone telling me they were going to change that.
FP lvl 1 hitting multiple people is super tough.
Also FP IA f+a (forward rushing tennis racket) can be combo’d off if you do it asap (once again older build so maybe this doesn’t work now?)
How are you guys playing FP?
I’m always using Fireball Minion so I can get in. At times I’ll Butt Slam or a.f+a to get some meter. Usually if I have meter I’ll Sword Knight into Lvl1 or Fireball into lvl2. Anyone use bombs?
I spam Fireball Minion while on my way in, then use air Sword Minion (divekick) as I jump into close combat. In close battle I spam u.T (spinny multihit uppercut, I really like it) or some square move and follow up with spinny. Against Kratos I’ll charge the square move with super armor that puts them in a crumple state (free combo, though I don’t know any) - Kratos ALWAYS attacks in close range, and his common attacks doesn’t break the armor.
I haven’t really learned a lot about her close range stuff yet though.
Only using lvl 1, and since it’s chaotic FFA it’s worth trying for more than 1 kill when the others bunch together.
I have problems using buttslam and peach-buttbump, I whiff and get punished. Even when I hit with buttslam I don’t know what to do with it.
At first I used the bomb a lot, but the meter build didn’t seem worth the trouble of hitting anyone with it.
Is there anything I can do to better fight people off close range? I play as Radec. I know Radec isn’t meant to own up close, but I’d atleast like to stand a fighting chance instead of runnin away. I usually throw grenades and use the assault rifle up close, but that only gets me so far.
I have a rather impressive win record, but I know I’m prone to rushdowns. Gotta nip this in the butt, quick
im starting to like this game more and more, especially sly. i laffed so hard when kratos did his level 2 and couldnt find me
I use flame thrower alot to back fools up who attack recklessly.
Same thing, cept I did it with a level 3. I simply just dodged all that shit Kratos was throwin. I could taste the salt. lol
@Reason4U: I didn’t think flamethrow was useful, but I’ll definitely try it. Never really used to the move much to see its effectiveness. Noted
Just got 7 kills with FP. Sword Minion thrown into a group then Lvl1 has been racking me kills. Still need to work on my combos. Is Parappa any good?
Yeah let me know how it works for you, I usually use it after a jump on the way down. It build a ton of meter, hit multiple opponents and keeps people at bay while you run away.
Is it possible to do Free for all with friends?
I usually use f.S to knock the opponent away with the shotgun pistol. That should give you some breathing room to set something up when they move in again
What moves should I use if I plan on using Sweet Tooth? Because all I see are idiots spamming shoulder charge. If that’s his only good move then I’ll stick to only playing Radec.
Dodge until you get a throw or smack a full with your regular combo. His square, square combo ends in the hand gun shot which pushes a bit apart from you. The thing about Radec is that most people trying to get in on you think you won’t fight them. But if you touch them once you can double jump to the other side of the stage and start your zoning again.
This game is slowly growing on me. As soon as I figure out combos for some of the characters I’ll be set. Gotta play that Sweettooth; although I don’t really like any of his supers.
