Episode 5 of In the Lab:
Also, since I’m nearing the end of this week of Guy X Christie, I guess I’ll open up the voting. Which two characters would you all like to see next? Lei, Xiaoyu, Guy, and Christie have all been used so far.
I think hunting hawk into turn punch is a thing. It’s also a pretty easy combo into pandora.
Vega and Juri, still.
How about some Bob x King?
I remember someone commenting in one of ssf4evo’s vids saying bob was too safe and has to many tools. Im like…really?? To fight dorya, high damage nina,+ on every button hwo, and an assortment of other deadly high and mid tier characters you need all the tools you can get. But never pegged bob as being “to safe”.
lol its weird to me that no one sends me a flood of hate mail due to me using Kuma and bear vortexing them to death.
All the messages I get is some soul crushed shit like
“That kuma…too strnk…”
On another note, yay someone finally raw launched me out of hunting stance when I was going for a grab.
I figured you would learn your lesson after getting launched 3 times…but no keep doing it. You should only do that with a plan in mind…that was no plan…just hoping to get that one grab…The reason you got launched because you were so confident that you’d get me and were unable to escape that pattern. I’d break that habit if I were you…
If Bob is “too safe” then Hwoarang is one of the worst characters in the game, Chun Li doesn’t have footsies, Dudley can kick and Hugo has a fireball
Was that you the other day? Only 2 people raw launched me and the first one did it 2-3 times. That was you then.
After the 1st raw launch wondering if you had the balls to keep doing it, and you have them rofl. Kuma is all about fear tactics and once you’re above that it’s easier to escape.
At the time I was thinking somewhere along the lines of “if a good player would raw launch me, knowing a grab or a meaty from hunting stance is coming, maybe do something that they wouldn’t expect like doing it again, send them a message that you’re willing to take risks and put some doubt in their head for the next mixup”. Welp DIDNT WORK I should have kept it simple, you got me read.
It’s not so much a habit since I do think ahead when I do my mixups on Kuma. Just a matter if it’s the right decision or not; better than autopiloting. I fucked up either way good job.
Now abusing my teleport on Yoshi and not using proper Air to Airs is a habit I really need to break :c I need a more confident Yoshi with better mixups than fishing for a overhead or waiting for something to whiff punish.
btw I could use some practice later. I’ll add you.
Once I figured out that you can raw launch 80% of whatever during hunting stance that’s what I aim for usually do to Kuma’s. I hate having to block during an opponent’s wake-up. I try and find ways around ti and keep up the pressure.
I thank you though for using Boost combo’s. Makes my job easier.
? was that really me?
I only use boost into Kuma for the positioning on the upcoming mixup. If I did it with Kuma then I fucked up bad or I was terrified LOL
WIth Yoshi hmmm…Can’t remember the last time I did a BC with him…
Yeah I play Yoshi/Kuma. There was a juri player that raw launched me 2-3 times in a lobby match maybe a week or so ago.
I do hunting stance grabs on Juri a bit more often since the ones I’ve ran into loved to counter on wake up. Then I snuck in meaties and cross ups on top.
Also does her EX pinwheel really stop cross up attempts or I need to time the cross up earlier to stuff it? I just got hit by it once and it was today lol.
It can stuff cross-ups…requires timing on your part to not get hit by it though.
Dxtory would do. You may still maintain high quality and 60 fps at the same time. On top of that you can use a codec other than the default.
These songs made my day. If someone can make an SFxT music video using these…
If I did a sfxt music video, I would use the first song to represent me overcoming the “facing high level players” obstacle, nearly getting blown up to the point winning seems impossible then somehow make a miraculous comeback loool
Looking for a new team to dabble with for fun and maybe stick as a alt.
Going to be playing around with King/???. I’ll eventually move King from point to anchor once I get the hang of playing footsies with him.
Any recommendations with good synergy?
King has some decent synergy…beware you have no way of leaving a fight via switch canceling on block. You’re only options are SWC off a RASC, raw tagging off shoulder and RJB. GS and TWK can raw tag too but the timing is kinda wonky. Abuse the knees and ST. Come up with setups to land a CH with disgraceful kick leading into big dmg. 558 was my max with King off a CH crumple for 1 bar solo. End BS’s with L konvict kick or CADC’s.
King also has multiple AA’s, cr.hp, Air counter, knees, cl.mp, and ST. He can get good dmg by himself, I’d pair him with someone that can take advantage of his knees. Try to avoid using wake-up reversals with King since 8/10 you’ll get NJ and burn meter on ex command grabs and whiff badly. Best to do the following, block, knees, backdash, or ST. Knees is throw invulernable since it’s airborne on the 1st frame (pre-jump frames can be canceled into knees therefore negting throws).
Beware, Knees are not a crouchable high attack but will miss on all crouchers, only certain moves that move the body upwards will the knees connect on a crouching opponent.
Yeah ssf4 input lag… when I play it’s a coin flip if I can get a connection that allows me to do two frame links. Playing SSF4 Bison without cr lk x 3 xx sk is bloody terrible.
