SFxT General Discussion #3 - Still Alive

How I do PC CADC
Magic series a . b . c xx ex tiger strike (with lp and mp) HOLD > dash + release lp and mp (mp has priority)
Just keep practicing u have a good amount of time to hit from st fp

The only problem I ran into with my Julia x Yoshi team is that it is very hard to catch the cross rush combos. It seems like they both don’t launch that high for the incoming character to connect with with any of the heavier normals. Gonna have to experiment more.

Can’t really crouch tech on this game. Not like that anyway. The online is too bad. Cr.Mk on wake up against opponents who can out poke me? Not a good idea. Lei’s Cr.Mp moves him forward. I move under and get a free combo because you are still in landing frames. No fire really started bro. I just stated a fact. You were mashing with Julia. Thats age old in street fighter. No big deal.

Very interesting fact! Thank You.

I can’t say for Yoshi, but for sure Julia launches really low. Makes it extremely annoying to continue after launcher with Juri’s cr.HP >> jc j.HP, to be sure. So if you ever see me do cr.MP xx lk Pinwheel after a launch from Julia, it’s because I went for the more certain damage in that situation.

Note: this is primarily online. Offline it’s not as bad, but still a pain lol.

Ken and Heihachi’s seem to launch reasonably high. I was able to do cr.hp xx jc j.HP just fine off of both character’s launchers very consistently. Jin’s launcher seems to be good for that as well.

Though…the problem with Jin’s launcher is that in the corner, since he’s still moving forward during his launcher, he ends up behind the opponent, so Juri will keep running past the opponent and put herself in the corner and you can’t cancel the run early enough with cr.hp to prevent that from happening, at least I couldn’t figure out a way to do that in my short test period. Not only that, but in that case the cr.hp will whiff entirely. It’s annoying.

i’m not going to front, i felt the original sf x tk was quite trash. in fact, i’m still not happy with ken changes. he still have ass walkspeed ( it made sense why developers allowed it in sf4 since ken can move around with kara focus, or even kara hadou ), and his frame data is probably still awful ( cr lk -2 on block, really? ) all he really had was dp cancel gimmicks. and i won’t even touch on my partner juri. she’s just not looking decent anymore.

with that said, i’ll be willing to buy this back once 2013 hit and try it again because i’m liking some changes ( mainly nerfed rolls since oki will be much better ).

the best lili in the world, for now…, is playing in paris france. Lili shall take it all! Only with world class grace. Btw his team does stupid retarded damage. Each one does nearly 60% with one bar. I may have to steal this team to shut will08 since jack x counter picks all of his characters.

As long as he has the HERP-DERP-ROFLCOPTER he doesn’t even need anything else to be viable against a good portion of the cast.

ken is actually pretty decent and only got buffed. His butt buddy ryu has worse buttons than he does so you’ll see a lot more kens in the near future, or more akumas.

Mute Mute went to France? That should be free for him to win.

wasn’t that nerfed? i do admit, that shit was lol good. you could create 50/50 from midrange with it. but yea, if was nerfed last time i checked. after that, ken just really fell apart.

it could come down to those two in grand finals. Alioune still has a pocket nina and pocket akuma he could whip out but he’s gonna stand by his fellow frenchwoman. I just gotta wake up that day.

Yeah combos from Julia to Yoshi are pretty bad. Julia launches very low and Yoshi needs to hit with cs.mp which hits high so it’s very hard to connect. And even after Julia’s DP xx Switch Yoshi can barely get anything decent.

BnB Yoshi to Julia is like 510 for 1 bar which is much higher than I thought. Considering that’s gemless and that you build back almost a full bar doing it it’s pretty damn good. Or you can do a 650+ reset for 1. Almost makes me want to pick Julia lol but unfortunately my execution sucks and I can’t do those tight links on pad. :frowning:

He is already legit on point. That was the whole point of my post: You don’t keep your assist in, you tag back to Yoshi to handle the midrange and keepaway. And you use him to bring the assist in just like a SF point does except Yoshi doesn’t need good pokes to do so and keeps you standing which has a lot of advantages over bringing anchor via cross-rush.

All 2013 means is he can AA harder for less effort/resource and he can’t build meter with CADC. That’s both good and bad. But he’ll be better overall for sure.

Maybe I’ve been up for too long, or maybe it was the Need For Speed thing all night…but is it just me or do the alt costumes seem to…uh…lag? Guy’s looks way better in a match than in the store, but I swear it felt like he was wearing 50 pounds of extra gear when I went online last night. :confused: Maybe it was just lag.

I guess what I meant to say is that Yoshi has more options now with better footsies and aa he can be more in your face if you are so inclined.

Off topic but Donnie Yen has a Monkey King movie slated for sometime next year as well. It’s packed with a lot of big names from Hong Kong and China past and present.

What is going to be wrong with Juri? She still does good damage without meter even with the nerfs, I heard she can still AA well with crouch fp and the hitbox was to fix an exploit she had on hugo, and as for jump canceling loss- she still as VERY ambiguous things with her good jump arc, jump fp, jump light kick are all bitches to block and a good juri should be using them more in 2013 to make up for the jc on hit loss.

whiners gonna whine
