Is ibuki difficult to play? I’ve been messing around in training mode getting used to her just curious on what some of y’all’s thoughts are. I’m getting bored with Laura.

Which is a shame. KI Season 1 was one of the best fighting games of this generation. Good balance, great netcode, pretty visuals. They kind of ruined it with later updates but by that point it was dead anyway.

Are there any good vids out there that teaches you how to shimmy?

That’s a clone, where are the cylinder titties

Damn, that Master Cody at the end spent more time in the air than Chris G’s Morrigan.

you don’t really need a vid to learn how to apply it, it’s a simple concept.

Threaten a throw, and once you’ve conditioned your opponent to expect a throw, walk in and then out. They whiff throw animation, punish it.

Next time you play somebody and try to go for a throw, instead of doing the throw just walk back.

After you do that, you would’ve succesfully attempted your first shimmy.

Success rate of this depends on conditioning and your opponent’s tendencies. Say for example that you do “cr.lp, throw” as a way to tick throw. Once your opponent catches on, you can do cr.lp then walk back. If they tech, it’ll whiff and you can punish the throw whiff i.e. shimmied them.

Certain characters have long throw ranges. Keep this in mind as you do this you have to do this from farther away against Bis, Urien, Birdie and Falke. All of them can grab you while you walk back if you’re too close.

Add G to that. He can scoop you super far.

Shimmy also doesn’t work against opponents that just take the throw.
I have lost count of how many people I annoyed when their shimmy attempt led to nothing since I would just take the throw.
Or worse, led to them taking an ex SPD because they were walking back.

They also cared about single player content.

They actually tried to advance fighting game AI practices, even if they stuck it into a lazy survival mode and then forgot about it. And they tried to make a large scale single-player game mode, even if it was intentionally unbalanced (gotta push those booster packs) and at its core was ultimately another lazy survival mode.

It’s happened to me before. Some days are just bad and I gotta stop playing because of my precious epeen points and my blood pressure.

I get matched up with Clegg regularly. He beats me about 70% of the time. Juri is a tough MU for Sim.

New router installed. Bea or any other south american that want to kick my ass, we can play tomorrow.

Fine by me.
I can play at any time tomorrow.
PC CFN is bea_iank, PS4 one is beaiank.
