Thancruz mode People are requesting nerfs for a character in sfxt?! But I thought the game is dead and should be left alone amirite
Very true. A lot of top players donāt.
Who was the no. 1 American player at Evo the last two years that sent Infiltration to losers? PR Balrog with Boxer. Someone try make an argument for Boxer even being top 10 in the tier thread, seriously, I want to see this.
Jin is weak to throws? I know what Iām doing with my Kuma.
Today I have experienced the worst online gaming experience known to man. The guy always began the round with Ken jump forward HK and he had 20k bp (which I thought was fishy given what he was doing mashing cr.lp after a REGULAR dorya). But after playing a few rounds I know how he got that amount.
PS Vita vs PS3 with a connection that fluctuated between 3 and 0 bars. Frame drops at 3 bars at 0 kenās walkspeed was as jerky as Akumaās. I witnessed Ivory cutter hit 4 times in a row off of one button press (It just repeated for several seconds). I even saw Ken Universal overhead. I almost quit SFxT for good. I either need an Xbox or never forgot to switch my match making to PS3 only.
ā¦ Communication error. Ok now Iām beyond frustrated. Net play works so well some days itās magnificent. BUT WHEN IT DOESNāT omgā¦ fuckā¦
You BETTER be a B+ by the time I get back.
freaking vitasā¦
Nope.
Youāre right I have no idea what came over me.
Thatās where your point character comes into play.
Almost all the top tier characters have bad defense.
Lawās reversals are slower than his super and cross art. Flip kick starts up in 6 frames. If you still do not know how to safe jump, you should feel bad. There are characters that have a ridiculously easy time at punishing max range FFR (e.g shotos, Guile, Rog) Fast meaty lights cover all his wake up options btw.
Jin: nowadays I just throw that mofo all the time. Crappy wake up game and when he uses swaying willow too much I try to neutral jump it. I play Lars so his fireball zoning isnāt much of a problem for me.
Chun: The last thing I want to do with her is play footsies or let her pressure me. I just look for ways to get in (jump, ava stomp, silent entry, sweep etc.). She has no meterless tools to defend and when she has a bar you have to look out for the alpha counter. Donāt pressure her much and stay at a distance which allows you to stay safe from a poke into lightning legs tag cancel.
I only have a problem with Nina players that know footsies. Itās all about momentum as she has no meterless defensive tools on wake up. So in uncle Valleās words: RUSH DAT SH*T DOWN!
Hwoarang is better at rushing down. If you try to play footsies with his sweep you will probably use it at the wrong time and eat a jump in combo. I still fall for his air raid special shenanigans, but Iām slowly getting used to his patterns.
Ogre, Lars, Elena, Dudley and probably some other characters imo.
Lars I can seeā¦not so much Elenaā¦Canāt see Duds being āunder he radarāā¦Ogreā¦dunno.
Gief plays footsies well. Heās essentially a footsies character in SFIV as well.
He has a lot of options, heās hard to jump at and through poking you, he opens up the threat of SPD as opposed to a regular throw.
Sometimes Gief needs to take risks though, because heās big and slow. He has a lot of health, heās always winning until he needs to mount a comeback then he canāt play reserved and needs to take huge risks.
I think Gief has a lot of strong point character qualities, he builds meter better than he spends it as well and functions as a great meat shield for who you have in the back. He has numerous ways of bringing an ally in as well like the lariat tag cancel and his confirms. Running point Gief is certainly not a bad idea, there are just certain match ups like Alisa where it will hurt you.
Aiight. Iām gonna quit playing Elena/Nina (for a week or two anyways) and play Poison/Asuka. Teach me how 2 Asuka darkphrye
Iām not quite sure about Elena becoming high or even top tier either but Dudley with his target combos that are + on block could be scary. His j. Hk is a nuisance in this game T.T
Most Dudley players are all about high low mixups, so I canāt blame you. Ogre has that derp stuff with blazing kick and lp, lp being +7 om block. I donāt know a lot about Ogre tech, but he has some mean stuff.
Alright after 1 match I quit. Asuka is too hard =(
Is Abel āunder the radarā?
hmmmmmā¦hows the range on duds tcās?
Yeah Infernokong plays under the radar lol
Manā¦ I played Juri for a few matches. My word it feels amazing Iām still kinda bothered about the nerfs, but still I never knew how much I missed my old main.
Everythingās better when Juri plays you.
I just had spikes up the ying yangā¦like seriously. I dropped two comboās all thanks to lag spikesā¦seriouslyā¦I hate onlineā¦I really doā¦but itās my only form of competitionā¦ARRRRRRRRRRRHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
