SFxT General Discussion #4 - Witty title

[cg123n1]

N-123Trio if you are stuck with wireless and you can’t come up with a decent wiring solution then I suggest you look for a router of better quality and more coverage. The possibility of a repeater is also not a bad idea. Of course, I normally wouldn’t encourage anybody to go wireless due to its inconsistency but if that’s your only method you might as well improve it. When I could only play on wireless I invested on it to make it more stable. Now that I switched to a better ISP and I have a direct line to my room and both of my consoles so it is a big improvement to say the least.

This thing’s signal strength will NEVER be the issue, for we currently have the fastest service option available. I was hoping to use static IP addresses for this thing, but I can’t access it without a password, meaning that I have to covertly find a way to get it without my folks knowing (cause there’s no way they’ll let me mess around with it for the sole sake of playing games online). I mean, not everything lags, and when it does, it’s in spikes. When it doesn’t, it’s really solid (like just recently), so I think it’s an issue with conflicting IP addresses. Maybe…>_>

Even the best wireless signals are inconsistent. And the lag could also be caused by the other guy being on wireless too.

Again, while I understand the problem for alot of people, wireless is a plague for online games. And when they started including wireless adaptors in the consoles, it got much worse.

It’s inconsistent, I know, but due to the layout of my house and where the PS3 is located, I literally have no choice but to do wireless. That’s the thing: Wireless is 1000X more convenient. Wired may be more stable, but it limits your options too much, and without wireless, some people just won’t be able to play online (think EVERY 3DS game in existence…). I would do wired if I could, but for now, I got no real options. =/

I’ma try to see if I can’t weasel that code out of Xfinity customer support tomorrow. I know for a fact I can make this connection solid again, cause it was perfectly fine back when I was playing MVC3 and SSFIV. Started messing up after about a year and has been going from “solid” to “wtf?” to this ever since.

Like I said, I understand the problem. The cord is a problem for lots of setups.

My recommendation is still to get a big as ethernet cable.

On the upside, the new Xbox has dedicated servers for all online games, so it will minimize the issue a bit. Wireless will still suck, but it will only fuck with you and not the other players. So at least the other guys wireless won’t be part of the equation.

I appreciate it. XD

Anyway, as for that question from earlier, I forgot to mention my team: Ryu X Hwoarang.

Also, I don’t expect to see myself getting over why I lose (outside of lag) anytime soon. I’m a man of comfort zones, and it takes a while for me to get my muscle memory to go from one thing to another. On top of that, I’m not exactly the pinnacle of fundamentals, so someone with really solid play is gonna completely curb-stomp me. However, I have tricks, and I love finding new tricks, so I can land wins so long as people don’t see those tricks coming.

One more reason I lose is Asuka having 100/0 mixups as Hero of Time posted

Asuka is the most underestimated person on this forum. Outside of long-reach opponents, she’s one of those characters that’s “bleh” on paper, but just gets things done in actual play.

Which reminds me: Ve, pressing buttons did NOT stop Heron Dance when I was waking up. Almost lost that match, too. q_q

[FlyingVe]

When you were waking up? That’s a meaty situation, pressing buttons would have lost to anything Asuka does.

A key thing to keep in mind against asuka is that she can’t easily OS options, so threaten with a backdash, reversal, mash and other stuff. Also, keep in mind she doesn’t really have any frame traps outside of sLP>sLP>cLK, so you know when you can disrespect. Also, alpha counter, Asuka is a character with terrible neutral and bad defense, so getting alpha countered hurts.

[roknin]

Allow me to also add a lack of matchup knowledge to my list of things I need to work on.

Stay classy EHubs. You wouldn’t believe that SFxT created a new community, even if the rest of the world would say so.
Someone over there said that xT didn’t have a community and that the entrant numbers from evo prove it… Ah my brain hurts. I should read the articles only…

Edit: Damn I’m generalizing again, but there are soooo many sh*t heads, I’m sorry.

Man. Maaaaaan. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

The comments on that article… it’s extremely obvious that most of those people are either keyboard warriors, or haven’t even spent two seconds looking for info to back up whatever the fuck they want to spew about SFxT and our community.

Thus, why I no longer comment on 90% of EH (or SRK for that matter) front page discussions. It’s full of lemmings that would just gleefully march off a tall cliff to their imminent death, with the rare intelligent commenter trying to guide them back to the exit only to have one idiot mine the wrong way and fuck it all up.

…well on the bright side it got me to think about playing Lemmings. * shrugs *

That moment when you agree with a post and towards the end you LOL. Which button should I press #fistworldproblems

Well, NOW that’s much clearer. I knew Heron wasn’t that awesome during neutral, but now I know to keep chill during wake-up. Thanks for that.

I’m getting better against her though. Primarily Ryu vs. Asuka. The cr. HP AA is a god send in that match-up, and the sweep canceled into stuff is almost better. It’s no biggy, but I feel like sometimes on this forum, certain maneuvers get underplayed or over-hyped a tad too much.

Like the thing with Alisa’s overhead not being a block-string. If she doesn’t do the second part, you get murdered. Not always the best gamble. >_>

[Akhos]

Incoming character crisis…again…Juri/Hwoarang.

Seems to have some nice synergy and I’ve always wanted to use Hwoarang since day 1, just never got around to trying to learn him.

I got Links to quit my PC Sunday lobby with that team so I must be doing something right. :3

[FlyingVe]

A way to think about the vs Asuka matchup.

If she mixes you up, you take 350-400 dmg.

If you do a reversal and she punishes. You eat 350-400.

If you backdash, you eat 90-400.

Basically the risk/reward is the same regardless of what you do… So do stuff. But don’t always do the same stuff.

Also, DP>Tag is really good against Asuka because T-Rex arms, and alpha counters as I already mentioned.

Depends on the DP, I’ve been able to catch the incoming character by immediately reacting with Heron Dance after most single hit DP tags.

It depends on the DP, the tag timing, the spacing… lots of stuff.

But Asuka has a harder time than most dealing with it.

How to beat Asuka: Press the buttons. No real order.

Thought: Who do you guys prefer? Elena or Christie? You guys know who I’d pick already. >_>

Special moves breakdown. The last vid was a little dry so I tried to spice it up a little
Could you let me know if the video is pixelated? The original is perfectly fine, but it looks pixelated on Youtube every now and Then

edit: nvm I will reupload it.

[FrostyAU]

For Nina combos I’ve posted these a lot of times but generally I punish with,

cr. fierce xx hk geyser cannon, hp skullsplitter, cr. fierce xx hk geyser cannon, ivory cutter.

I like to hit confirm cr. strong into jab > strong xx mk geyser cannon to get in a lot of the time. That’s one link I advise people learn if they want to play Nina.

I can’t get your BNB to work. it seems like the final Cr.Hp misses entirely. What could I be doing wrong?

Also, you guys should do this with Nina:

Cr.Mp, St.Lp, Cr.Hp XX

Nina just has odd juggle timings, you need to let them fall before you do the cr. HP and for the ivory cutter ender you take half a step forward before you do it.

You can link cr. HP after st. MP if you hit it meaty for good damage. The jab strong tekken chain is just safe on block making it a good way to hit confirm into a geyser cannon as all of the geyser cannons are unsafe on block.

Saying there is no sfxt community is like saying there is no skull girls community. Just cuz the games ain’t on every and any locals stream doesn’t mean the game isn’t being played.

Great video and yes it is a bit pixelated in some areas especially during the text you use for explaining Balrog’s special moves and how they work. But other than that, good effort. Looking forward to the next part.

[Rc_ON]

I noticed that it’s always during the transitions >_> It’s a Youtube thing. Yogaflame24 has the same problem in his latest videos… Could be the wmv format… I will reupload it later

Thanks for the feedback I will probably use online replays footage. It might take me a while to get some combos get to work there…

Incoming character crisis…again…Juri/Hwoarang.

Hwoarang? NOW you’re in there!

Thought: Who do you guys prefer? Elena or Christie? You guys know who I’d pick already. >_>

That’s a tough one (well for me it is, don’t know about everyone else) because I like both of them but if you enjoy using Elena then use her…Christie might give you stress loool

I intend to. I was just asking about everyone else to gather opinion about which they think is a better char.

[Climbatize]

has capcom not realized that if they’re not going to make a netcode that can’t hold up to more than 500 miles of distance they need to make a more specific region filter? i’m tired of playing people from across the country and losing because of it.

[Rc_ON]

Found a 6 frame safe jump after Rog’s new bnb.

Cr. Mp , cr. Lp xx lp/mp buffalo head cr. Mp xx dash upper , dash low straight (whiff cr. Hk) j. Hk

In training mode it worked against Sagat’s Hp dp and online it worked just fine against Bryan’s Ex mach breaker (10 frames).
I should really make a thread in the character diacussion x)
