There are tiers on ranked…?
Alright. Well I’m salty when people use Double’s Hornet Bomber H assist against me. It’s only fair when I’m the one using it.
Yea. When the game takes a while to find an opponent you’ll see something like “waiting for tier x opponent to join”. I was on tier 6 the last for days and had no trouble find ranked matches. I get promoted and rank is now a ghost town
Must be only for the PSN version… XBL doesn’t say that… and I get matched against lots of opponents who don’t know what they’re doing =(
Hitconfirming in this game
Two things I hate, jump HP happy Parasoul players and of course Cerebella players that are doing little more then churning butter.
Try setting the input lag on GGPO to a lower setting, the graphics may be a little choppier (I’m used to it, since I’ve been playing ST on ggpo for so long) but it’s easier to react to things because attacks come out on the frame you press the button)
But yeah. I just block until I see them do something REALLY slow… I gave up on trying to punish everything I can theoretically punish… at least online anyway.
I’m so Jump HP happy. =) it’s the best! xD Just jump higher than parasoul and you should be fine, she doesn’t have an air dash or double jump. For cerebella players, just keep them out. Jump at them rarely, but once and a while just to psych them out / get out of the corner.
You’ve got things.
You’ve got a dash with armor, an hayate with armor, titan knuckle, standing forward is okay, her sweep has stupid range.
Yeah, it’s REALLY tough to keep cerebella out if she plays right… took me 3 days to work out how to keep her out. but it requires some guessing on my part.
Once she gets in she’s in…
Filia vs Peacock, Double, Ms Fortune, Cerebella, Valentine…
hell, playing Filia makes me salty cuz they just do these super long safe (?) blockstrings my fucking LP/LK can’t punish out of their asses and throw shit all over the screen and what do I have?
Ringlet spike?
Also, why is hairball so unsafe :C
Because you aren’t supposed to end block strings with it, dummy.
Have you tried using Cerebooty assist
I mean really guys, this game is based on Marvel. If you are playing a solo character you WILL have a hard time getting in against people running Cerebooty/Napalm Pillar/Nyantiair.
Shes rushdown bro. Airborne hairball is hella safe.
vs Valentine is bout 50/50 as well as Cerebella. You just need to watch openings.
You put pressure on peacock she gets destroyed. No opinion on double yet.
I just dunno how to punish techrolling yet, this is day 2 for me after all lol.
Air Hairball is safe? I’ll try it out next time I play…
screw the leaderboards… I hadn’t played for 5 hours, checked my rank 88, LOST 1 game… then jumped to 50… whatever. I decided for the first time to try and climb it. now it just doesn’t make any sense. Screw it.
So one of my friends I’ve been trying to get into this game realized I was going easy on him today.
I should probably specify on that. When your opponent is grounded and you do heavy airborne hairball there is just enough blockstun for them to not punish you for it. But you need to start blocking right as you see that they blocked it.
Salt for today? Peacock Spam with Doubles GDLK Assist. My Cerebella/Valentine Team didn’t stand a chance (well maybe 2 out of like 10, when I was lucky enough for the game to recognize my grabs and combos)
Unless this gets patched, I declare this team will be used the most in the future: Cable + Wesker… because Peacock is Cable and Double is Wesker without glasses.
Can’t jump in to get close (too many anti-air projectiles + the falling projectile + Double Assist)
Can’t get in from the ground (too many ground projectiles + the falling projectile + Double Assist)
I’m gonna try Diamond Deflector (heard that deflects projectiles?) and her QCF+H only has 2 hits of super armor (in contrast to the 4+ projectiles coming at you)
I can MAYBE understand if Double’s assist (I dunno which one, I think the first one) had super armor, but almost full invincibility (except for the VERY beginning, and when you’re playing against Peacock, you’re gonna gonna get near often to hopefully stop it) shouldn’t be in there. Plus her combos and supers are SO GOOD.
On a slightly different note, has anyone became salty so far for losing because Valentine brought a teammate back to life? =D I know I probably made someone salty XD
~GL
5 meters and cat head super made me go “what do”? then moai head super later in the set.
Random counter super with Val made up for it though
So uhm, first day of SG (xbox), spent about 10 mins on training mode, then went online (at about 10:30 in the morning). I beat some guy with Filia / Cerebella, and he messages me
"F@#%ing NOOB Cerebella! Lrn how 2 pLay!" … on launch day…
Anyways, people struggling against marie with parasoul, i kinda devised a cheap tactic to beat her
1st form: Stay close and just do simple chains, usually i did :lp:, :lp:, :mp:, :hp:, :hp: (or :d: + :hp:)
2nd form: Stay close, then i jumped towards her and did :d: + :mk: as much as i can (usually 2-3 times), then you’ll end up on the other side, and lather rinse repeat
3rd form: Saved up my meter and used parasouls Lvl 3, then its just a matter of getting close and jump + :hp:
Is this on ridiculous mode? I usually use the level 3 on her second form because it nearly skips that whole form.
