I went to gamefaqs.com, and read a few threads here. I am having a shit lot of hard time to pull any combo with Q. The only combo I was able to pull were:
(CORNER) hcb.HK, HP
bf.LP > SUPER#1
MK > bf.PPP, HK
MK > bf.MP
Give me something easy to pull… and what is his B&B?
Pretty much anything you’d want to know about Q’s general game can be gleaned by watching Streak’s excellent ‘Q - Clawstrophobia’ video. It should be downloadable over at combovideos in the tutorials section.
Gamefaqs has a reputation for being full of scrubs and bad information. This is especially true of their message boards. Don’t rely on what you hear there.
Q’s. bread and butter? Usuallly it’s a C&DB combo, but if you don’t have enough frames for a grab, like after a blocked Shippu, just MK, Slappy Hands, EX if you want.
Streak’s Clawstrophobia video has lots of good information.
Thanks Jason and Donkus. I forgot about that video. Q is still really hard to use.
I know a lot of people do believe that SRK is so much better than gamefaqs, but I strongly believe both forums are not that far off. I can give you a lot of examples:
In short, most of SRK’s users don’t even mention the damage of any combo, just what they believe is the BEST combo without any support. I just don’t like to go around and flame people for being a strong advocate of their own mistakes. But that doesn’t mean I am going to believe anyone on SRK without proof.
That’s all said, I like SRK and all of the members.
With SRK, you have people who put other people in line. You’re much more likely to run into hordes of morons at gamefaqs.
There’s a thread in the arcade 3rd strike board on gamefaqs which asks if the game is balanced- that’s fine for a “new guy” question, but every single response should have been “No, it isn’t” and the thread should be dead. Instead it is 4 pages last time I checked filled with all kinds of stuff.
As for listing the damage numbers for combos, that isn’t how you determine the skill of those you are getting advice from.
For one thing, the arcade does not list these numbers. For another, people hate the DC, although from what I have seen the damage is identical, and the PS version is new. And finally, the information on karathrow.com uses numbers that do not correspond to the DC, even though it is from the DC(?).
Yeah, I am making a SF3 faq based on the DC. After I asked a few times in this forum about the SF3 on the DC and wrote about 2000 lines, someone finally told me that the DC is … well… fucked up:
Unblockables are not possible.
Nothing works for Oro, not even a basic chicken combo.
Yun SUPER#3 timing is messed up.
That’s all I was told so far.
Hopefully, my faq will still give an indication of what combos do more damage. Besides Oro and probably Yun SUPER#3, the rest of the cast seem to be ok… and I can simulate unblockable for Urien.
There’s a list of Q combo’s (along with the damage delt per combo) I posted up a WAYS back in an old thread made by Rockefeller.
If you’d like to see it click on the link bellow and scroll down till you see a post titled “Q’s Combos”. Hope it helps.
