SFxT General Discussion #4 - Witty title

Tech doesn’t exist Thancruz what are you on about? Didn’t you see what Dex wrote? Get with the times!

[FrostyAU]

But but where is the footsies? Tech is not useful in this game! Ok let me stop, i’m killing the joke already. Ok no more bsing around, posting my nina guide tomorrow… probably. Lol

Footsies are my forte and what I love about Nina. DayUn is the same. Ask Ve about his Ryu footsies.

My Nina guide above was basically a guide for how to use footsie normals with Nina. Excluding some funky stuff with df. short which requires it’s own walkthrough because of the different options from it.

Juri is pansexual.

Nina’s mixup options post juggled ivory cutter, just charge bb then forward dash for meaty, backdash for roll, ivory cutter - command grab for high, cr.lk-st.mk, cr.lk, cr.mp for low.

That all there is to it?

Forward dash, jump back over them and cross them up on their wakeup with j. MK is a safe jump setup.

I have others. The ivory cutter ground bounce gives you a lot of time to set something up. You get a free hard tag off it.

[Prof]

Yeah. I meant, in particular, setups using the qcf+p charge. ty for the safejump, though. 4frame?

As for the guy disagreeing with me about Juri. -shrug- sorry, bro. She hits on everyone and everything. As long as sadism is involved, at least.

You don’t charge, you just jump straight over them before they’re actually in “knockdown,” state because of the time granted by the ground bounce. It resets the recovery roll. You then jump their corpse in a way that you’ll cross them up or cause the uppercut to whiff. I don’t know the exact frames on it but it beats reversal timing on everything I’ve tried it on so far.

Alright after reaching 4500 rating with Yoshi/Kuma after playing for about 2 months

I finally ran into characters that give my team slight problems

1. Guile. Pretty damn difficult for me to approach as Yoshi, he feels like a way better zoner than yoshi so I feel that I have to make a patient but slow approach on him. Making a read on Sonic Boom into Yoshi’s teleport is so so so risky and hardly pays off due to the recovery of his boom. Often I try to make the switch to kuma since I feel I can approach him better though below average with approaching with hunting stance so I stick to rolling through fireballs and the usual block and walk forward/neutral jump

Any tips from guile/yoshi players would be helpful if they know the matchup somewhat. Kuma vs Guile from either perspective would be nice too.

2. Bison with the headstomp pressure. I have no real answer towards it lol, haven’t really played much street fighter games aside from 3S so it’s something I haven’t caught on to yet. Not enough bison players either. So how should I answer to headstomp and/or the dive? Just block it and move on? Any specific counters I can do if I get a read on either?

The rest of the cast im rather ok with somewhat. *everyone is scared of Kuma so once I have momentum or I have a fair amount of meter it’s all good

Also if anyone has recommendations for alternative point characters for Kuma thats better against zoning teams I’m all ears.

I use Ryu/Ken and have encountered some Kumas on the PSN… beat them all… my advice is that you should not roll that often unless you catch a pattern on the fireballs… when they roll I just neutral jumo and punish if they try to command grab me… aside of that I think it is hard matchup for Kuma i believe… maybe you can help me with Yoshi because I was playing last night and lost against him… his jump is kind of weird…

yesterday I finally reached B rank (again)… but the weirdest thing happened… I won 2 matches against a C+ rank player (that’s 100 BP, I was 4901 BP at the moment) and none of the wins registered… I was still 4901 BP… so I continued playing and I got to 5003 BP (B rank again!)… played one more game… won it… 5053 BP… came back to the lobby screen and… 4855 BP!.. I was so mad because I was playing really good… I even almost won against a paired team (B+) that were mocking me and my team! (I heard them)… they were running away from me in the last round and I lost by a pixel (it was a timeout for them)… happily the salt when off right away because like I’ve always said I don’t care about BP that much…

Here’s my question - were you still a B rank afterwards? If so, the game must think you’re disconnecting or something. If you get 5000 and then go down to 4800, you’ll still be a B rank.

Speaking of rank, I just got to 16K BP in the PC rankings… I was tempted to just quit playing because I hit an even 16000 BP and it looked kinda cool to have an even number like that.

yep… I am a B rank now…

When do I get my 4th gem slot? I want to build 8 bars in one touch.

[roknin]

Last I heard, that was removed from PSN and we aren’t going to see it. I can’t recall who mentioned it though.

This is a good thing if that’s the case.

I’ve been trying to find a sub anchor for a while now, but I’m starting to think that maybe I should just stick to my guns.

Should not be too hard to find an anchor that works with Poison: anyone who does big damage, uses meter effectively, and corner carries would fit her perfectly.
JiBbo used Poison/King for a while in 2012 and it worked really well, and now 2013 King is much stronger. Great damage conversion, good oki, great use of meter, and very underrated neutral game options.
I’d also suggest Nina because she is the only character I can think of offhand that can combo off of Poison’s DP, although I am sure there are others.

I decided to try Nina. I read up some basic/beginner stuff with her to get me started, but I’m having issues actually putting it together. Mostly consistently opening people up, when to throw out her good buttons, and keeping pressure going with her right now.

Some good teachers here.

I can probably give you a hand if you have specifics.

Mimic him since you aren’t a very aggressive player. You’ll probably do better with a defensive style of Nina. I can’t teach that since it’s not my forte.

Yo her0, when are you going to make that SAKURA GUIDE? DD:

I actually recorded all the stuff I needed, but I just haven’t been at home to finish it. But my family left today, so I’ll get to that at some point.

[Akhos]

Sakura guide in a nutshell:

1. Air Tatsu.
2. More Air Tatsu.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!!!

In all seriousness, I’m looking forward to it. I’ve always wanted to try Sakura.

[Markowiz]

Just checked the most and least played characters and founded out that the least played character on XO is Dhalsim and same on PS online after megaman and those cats. I find it a bit odd. Arturo have already shown that it can win big tournaments and even if u are not Arturo, just average joe like me, he is still very viable zoner.

I know 2 other Sim players besides me, SimsimIV and Kongrosion and haven’t seen those two in sfxt for ages. I wan’t more Sim players out there
