SFxT General Discussion #3 - Still Alive

Um did you guys get the alts yet? Or did they not come out yet? They were supposed to be out today…

umm… i said that like 2 months ago lol

Hmph! =p

in other news…OMFG OMFG TUX KEN OMFG OMFG TUX KEN. TIME TO UNLEASH THE REAL POWER OF MONEY INC!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA…-checks bank account- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! T.T NOT ENOUGH MULA FOR A DOLLAR COSTUME. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?

At least you got your outfits available. Us on PSN are at the mercy of Sony…:frowning:

Oh word? Uh… hmm… Great minds think alike? Or something like that. :rofl:

Money Inc. can’t get a dollar for a costume. So much irony there.

…In all seriousness, that sucks. :frowning:

Play on PC then. I think someone has already come out with a mod for that costume for Kazuya. :tup:

This is true. One of the biggest positives of playing on PC is the modding community.

Great games man, we were about done for the night(6 hours already when you joined lol), then you and Bad Intent jumped in. The Kuma/Lei guy is my sparring buddy CannibusCureAll, we were both already salty at Space A Cobra’s seemingly safe Nina bullshit so he was going in fierce with his Kuma stuff:rofl:.That hunting stance tick throw set-up is just insane. He’s worked really hard at that Lei/Kuma team, and I have no reservations saying he’s the best Kuma I’ve ever seen in action. He also really hates Cammy and Juri, so he makes it a point to terrorize them:rofl:. But his Lei/Kuma team is not to be trifled with, or the bear will go into “Kill” mode. He’s the Pandora Kuma I’ve mentioned before.

Great games though, hope you enjoyed, feel free to join up anytime, we screw around with a lot of characters and try to play as aggressively as possible to keep that tempo up(for better or worse lol).

GGs to BadIntent, mean Cammy and Ryu team, great to see them played without the usual trepidation, incredible damage you were wracking up. Hope you don’t mind I was the punching bag in between you and Deg. 22 players joined and left the room once they saw what you and Deg were up to. Lulz.
GGs to Deg222, disgustingly on point Julia and Heihachi team. Saving them replays, stealing your shit:rofl:
GG Flying Ve, ran into him in ranked.
GGs Space A Cobra, Porky36, anybody else who wandered into Endless.

:shake:I need to start sticking to a second character, enough of this musical chairs with Guy first and ??? second. Gotta stop stranding him out there and blowing really strong openings with him.

Ah, okay, I see. Some of my salt is reduced then. :rofl:

I won’t lie, I was on that “this gimmicky Kuma crap” until his Lei ran me. Then I had that “…okay yeah I’m just getting outclassed” feeling.

Side note: I hate dealing with Guy jumping lol. Just like in AE (and pretty much any game he’s in), he has that weird-ass, “rainbow-arch” jump that he can cut short whenever he feels like it with the Macho Man elbow. :razzy: And indeed, I got wrecked by a lot of Nina’s yesterday in the short timeframe that I played. FTK Computer perfected me with ease to the point I felt stupid one match. I try to block on reaction but block her incorrectly each and every time.

Definitely fun though. GGs to all.

yeah and it doesn’t help that the hurricane closed like everything!

You and Vengeance had me cracking up in endless lol too funny. Btw i was timing you guys out on purpose julia has the ability to close matches so i didnt have to run with the lead but i knew you guys was getting mad so i did it to frustrate you. Lol at your friend calling me a “pussy” for running away yet he couldnt beat me once. Even after i told him to keep the lobby small so the players could “adapt” LOL oh good times

Haha. I need to just start playing Kuma myself, too many people think he sucks, but it’s not even close to being true.
Guy’s jump though, it’s fun stuff, you can jump from almost full screen with his J.MK, have the tip of his foot hit and it’ll combo into his TC. I just have to be more careful with him at times, to easy to get lost in the momentum and going for those kills with him.
I hate Nina though…can’t figure her out, I try to punish her kick special with Guy and even when it seems punishable the best I can get is a blocked TC.

Most of these new alternate costumes are ASS. Only good ones are Jack X, Kuma and Lei. The rest are mostly disgusting and poorly thought out.

I thought about this as soon as we found out about rolls being hittable in their final frames. The one I’d use instead is the lp green hand, which has 12 startup frames instead of 14, 7 active frames instead of 10, the same 20 recovery frames, and is normally -2 on hit; if you do the math, that means it has 25 frames of hit stun and its final hitting frames occur 5 frames before mp’s. Most of the setups I have now make lp whiff before the opponent gets up on both stand and roll, but in 2013 it’ll hit the roll (while still whiffing on stand). If I’m doing my math correctly, lp hand should be +3 on hit against the roll if I’m hitting the opponent with its last active frame. I’m not sure I will be, but it looks pretty close to that with the eye test. I don’t think it’s more than 4 frames away, so I should at least be safe.

But yeah, the setups won’t be quite as effective. Mp will still be good against stand and will hit roll, but will also be negative against roll; lp will hit roll too and will be positive, but will whiff against stand. So now I have to play a slightly dangerous mixup with my option select where one of my four results can put me in a poor position (even though, again, it’ll still hit the opponent).

Actually, I just thought about this. I wonder if I can option select a switch cancel out of the green hand? If I time the switch cancel early enough that it’ll come up in the input queue just as the opponent gets hit by a roll and will already be gone if the opponent stands (that is, up to 7 frames before a stand), I should be able to do that. I’ve never tested whether green hand gives my partner enough hit stun time to combo after but with 24-25 frames of hitstun on mp/lp green hand, it could be enough. I don’t really know how long it takes for my partner to run in, anyone know?

Actually again, this might be a great way to solve roll in general! Time a move such that it’ll hit roll and either recover for stand or be a safe meaty against stand while option selecting switch cancel early in case of roll. What do you think?

See what i go through?! What a freaking troll. Don’t give him the chance to troll.

Ha! That Julia backdash into cr.lk is so gay. But I mean all you can do is fight through it. GGs on the first to 5 btw. Nice cammy!

his cammy suck. He’s a fraud. Next time i’m smashing his team 2-0!

JKF jumping boats again worry about those 20game win streaks i run on you first sir. Oh and for the record i like all my opponents on PSN over JKF. Even Chaos has a better Ken/Lili

Erm…I see a war about to break out between the Asuka and Lili armies when 2013 strikes. Is it okay if I kind of sit this one out by jamming with OZLeon and Swedish Chef whilst the armies duke it out?

I know right :D. I want to run Ancient Samurai Akuma (no offense but I’m running out of color ideas for that original costume) and Sorceress Lili so that my color creativity can shine some more.

Interestingly I have all the ideas in the world when it comes to customization in this game but since I got TTT2, that creativity has died down quite a bit for some weird reason…

@Intuitive2011: Go for it :D. Just try to avoid stuff like random spasms whilst doing the motion and try to sit on a nice comfy seat beforehand to avoid long term pains to the left arm after practicing and take regular breaks as well. EWGF can take a toll on your overall dexerity with other characters.

yeah cause they don’t come close to beating you like i do. I got you next time.
