SFxT General Discussion #3 - Still Alive

Maybe it’s just me, but comparing her to the other females she’s visually slow and less flashy, but she’s just fine when compared to the males with decent speed. Walkspeed’s slow and her normal dash is terrible (which is the reason why she has a command dash).

It’s really hard to be as hammy as Yipes without copying some of his style. The ingame commentator in the first Marvel VS Capcom game is way more hype compared to the commentators I have heard on some streams.

Has anyone used Ryu’s close standing HK as substitute to Shoryuken when doing a tag-cancel? Usually I chain it with st.MK and then tag cancel on HK’s first hit. I have been practicing with it and it the only thing that I think could punish it is an alpha counter.

But… her ability to get in has basically no been touched…

Well, that’s where her partner comes in, right?

That’s always the theory, but if the opponent gets away you are f’d.

That’s always been her problem.

Well, yeah, I guess that’s an issue.

Hmm…can she get a follow-up after her counter? Or just off of her Falling Rain? Because her defensive options (anti-airs and her counter anyway) are pretty decent, and at least off of her anti-air combo she can go into launcher to bring her partner in…though at that point you might as well stay in and apply pressure…and if the opponent gets away they probably want to stay away and not jump in recklessly in the first place…

…you’re right, she has a problem. I guess maybe raw tag to your partner if they start jumping away? That’s all I can think of…

Juri doesn’t need cultists, she’s too busy kicking people to deal with that shit!

A: thats what point characters are for.
B:With the roll nerf, getting away from asuka is going to be much harder as she can just OS into f+mp or b+mp to smack them out of it. Time for some real oki :open_mouth:

Game still has invulnerable backdashes, rolls, alpha counters, and a large selection of invulnerable moves.

I’m not saying she won’t be better, or that her oki isn’t good…

… But her oki is already good in the current version, and not having a way to deal with the opponent getting away is still bad…

What system?

I play on 360…

Alright. I’m on Ps3 but I’m sure you have plenty of people on 360 in here.

Anyone know when the 12 character DLC is going to be released for PC? I’ve been waiting since September and still don’t see them up on Steam

Exactly. Juri kills most Juri cultists. Woman to die for and all that. That and she is getting even more unneeded nerfs…[SIZE=4] Did you hear something? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]On another note I just had someone kick me from his lobby because I predicted his wake up 5 times in a row with asuka. It’s not my fault you are bad and tried to wake up shoryuken 3 times. Outside playing wake up games with her though my asuka is awful. I am thinking Poison + Asuka would be fun though I don’t see any real synergy to help either of them. Time to hit the lab, remember my Asuka combos and see if I can find a way to work LMT into starting asuka combos.[/SIZE]

Not even Capcom knows. They always had problems releasing patches in a timely manner on PC. Be the Japanese team haven’t given the data to the PC guys, having to go through Microsoft and Valve’s verification progresses. Things are never good when it comes to Capcom and PC

Just got back from Absolute Battle 3 and all I have to say is… Fucking dammit. Don’t get me wrong this was one of my best tournament experiences thus far, but I let my nerves get to me in two situations.

For starters I was in a 2v2 AE tourney and had to go up against Fchamp and Ricky. My friend went up first and managed to beat Fchamp, but immediately lost to Ricky. So I went up and ended up taking Ricky to the last round. We both had low health and I ended up hitting him with a EX Tatsu, and all I had to do was input U2 and win. Sadly, my nerves got to me and I pressed kicks too early and I got a EX Otoshi. Ricky immediately quick rose and did U1 for the kill. I have never felt so low before, but in the long run the only thing it’s going to do is make me a better player. It just sucks when you have your whole state watching you and you’re trying to represent your city that people barely know. I’m eternally grateful that I have good friends in the Texas FGC that give me the right advice and help me move forward. Btw I’ll post a video when they end up putting it up on their channel.

Next I had to play SFxT, which I was really excited for even though out of the 500 plus people that were there 13 ended up entering. I made it to winners semis where I had to play Ricky again for the second time this weekend. I ended up beating him 2-1 and sent him to losers while I ended up making to grand finals on the winners side. What irritates me is that he called me a button masher and that he messed up his alpha counter which would have won him the match, he didn’t even shake my hand. I swear a lot of pros just can’t lose without making a excuse, especially Ricky. Sadly though he ended up beating me and winning the tournament. Also there was no recording of this tournament due to lack of interest. :confused:

The main lesson I learned that I have to control my nerves regardless of who I’m playing, and also learning to adapt to what my opponents habits are. That’s what makes pros like Fchamp and Ricky so good.

In the long run I’ve realized that this will always be the best community I’ve ever been a part of.

how the hell do i play lars. his normals are so weird

From now on when the Defense Force goes to a tourney to represent SFxT, just bring your own recording setup, even if its just a camera phone or a freakin tripod setup. And if someone ask you “why are you recording this? no one plays this game.” you just look at them and go"…I’m doing this for MY community." And proceed to whoop ass.

If you look at your controller you will notice some buttons.

Push them.

Those feels. I know those feels. Still man, good stuff, and what does not make you break your stick in two over your knee and fly into a Hulk-like rage, will only make you stronger. :slight_smile:

Cr. Mk that’s really all you need to know.

no ex seismo button
