Who would you guys say is the strongest character in the game? IMO its either Nina, Hwoarang, or Kazuya, what do you guys think?

Asuka.

In yours and Darkphyre’s hands, yes.

Street Fighter X Tekken v2013 lengthy tutorials for Lei, M. Bison, Lili, Bryan...

There have been some very informative guides released recently for Street Fighter X Tekken v2013, and if you ...

Some of our stuff has been uploaded to EH. So that’s a plus at least. It feels weird to see to see my own name on a site that I watch in a way.

If you play on PSN we could play some sets. But if not here’s some advice (or at least what I did and it kinda helped).

-Pick Ryu and Julia
-Set the CPU to cr.mk a bunch of times then tag and cr.mk some more.
-Slightly outside of that range you’re free to do a lot of things. Mallet smash, b+HK, HK (I prefer this since it’s basically the same but if someone jumps in it could make it whiff), even your overheads have more range than Ryu’s cr.mk (not Julia). Pretty much this is where you want to be at counter poke distance.
-Also you st.lk has more range than many pokes. I think it’s more than Julia’s cr.mk… But I’m certain it’s slightly less than Chun’s far.mp, and more than Nina’s+Ryu’s cr.mk .
-Mallet smash forces standing so it’s a good BnB starter. But it’s slow as molasses, so stick to HP mallet smash and EX unless you AA with st.mp or st.lp.
-If you AA with st.mp or lp mix things up between MP mallet smash and HK Lynx tail TC.
-And if you need to get in max range slide is a good option, as well as EX Rhino horn (You can also charge this). Max range slide is negative on block but not punishable by a lot. But EX Rhino is +4.

And once your opponent starts playing conservatively rush his ass down if you think he is gonna stand Lynx tail. If you think he will crouch either EX or HP mallet. Eventually they will get annoyed and make a big mistake and you can capitalize with the ex rhino mixup or her regular BnB.

You forgot one:

-Use her air target combos more. Tons of damage? Tons of damage. :tup:

Assuming you don’t get AA’d.

Nina, Kazuya, or Chun. I’m leaning most towards Nina, but Kazuya is a good pick too. Chun is best for turtle players everywhere, but then again…Nina’s got a good zoning game too so…

Where do people think Lei belongs? I think it is easy just to stick him in the middle, but he has so many quirks I have a hard time placing him like I would a more straightforward character.

Now that I have found a 5f safe jump off of Bryan’s Gatling Combination, do people still think that ending f.mk string with Mach Breaker is the best option? Cannot say I’ve ever even seen someone end it in MK on youtube.

mach breaker does more damage, and has greater corner push, and its a good long knockdown. So, its tough to argue with.

Usually though, you’ll want to do EX mach into more combo anyways.

Thancruz mode More SFxT on Event Hubs?! I thought timeout x stronk anti air combos is dead on that site! This is madness, WHAT IS GOING ON?!

SamuelVimes · 2013-08-25T22:38:03.000Z

Indeed, Mach Breaker is a very advantageous knockdown, and with meter EX is obvious for the followup fisherman damage. I’m just thinking if having a safe jump off the other move helps give him some variety. It is only 20 damage less if no meter is used and it lets you go into your upclose stuff at advantage. It is weaker to rolls of course, whereas it is almost impossible not to throw any that happen after Mach Breaker.

Well, after EX mach you can jump at them such that lots of reversal’s wiff.

Personally, I don’t think safe jumps are as big for bryan because his range is so extreme that he doesn’t need to be hanging out in reversal range to really pressure you.

Jalass · 2013-08-25T22:51:34.000Z

My average player’s opinion made in 10 min here

I’m pretty sure the first half exept for bob. I absolutely do not know the chaacter, it is more a feeling. Sometimes my order horizontal has sense sometimes not, but I’m too lazy to detail.

For the second half is more difficult so every character in this game seems to have something to show and the multiple teams synergies.

KitL19 · 2013-08-25T23:04:32.000Z

@Jalass WOOOW Elena on the same tier as Alisa, Kazuya, and Lili??? I don’t even care about the Asuka bias that tier list is veritas JAMBO!

It was crazy to see a semi decent discussion in the comment section of a sfxt article. Ggs event hubs.

Finished my matches…didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. Made a lot of stupid decisions and wasn’t anti-airing consistently at all. I managed to win around half of my matches (I think), but most of those wins were soley off of perfectly spaced/timed f.mk chains from Bryan. I did okay with Steve if I was able to get them into the corner, but I kept forgetting to do flicker pressure properly…and when I tried to start it I got reversaled.

Ignoring my not so great time with the team, it seems pretty good overall. Nice damage, decent synergy…I think the only problem comes in if you lose the life lead. Neither Bryan or Steve seem particularly good at getting a health lead back if the opponent is content to just sit back and not press buttons. Though on the other hand, Bryan can really hold on to a life lead well, and if Steve gets in, you’re gonna die really fast if you’re not careful. And Steve’s super is a pretty nice punish tool, at 4 frame start-up with some pretty nice reach.

I’ll be uploading the tech vid and match footage within the next couple of days…in the meantime, I’ll open up the voting again. Which two characters would you all like to see me use next? So far, I’ve already used Lei, Xiaoyu, Guy, Christie, Steve, and Bryan.

Ibuki/ Asuka

street11 · 2013-08-26T01:09:02.000Z

Actually can I change my vote? I’d like to see Heihachi / Asuka.

Thancruz · 2013-08-26T01:12:51.000Z

Ogre/raven

Creature_Goon · 2013-08-26T01:18:17.000Z

Elena/Asuka

Rc_ON · 2013-08-26T01:21:15.000Z

Vega/Rog

SamuelVimes · 2013-08-26T01:29:57.000Z

Jack-X/King. If it has to be a team no one is really using, then Raven/Paul.

Cody_Guy18 · 2013-08-26T01:34:04.000Z

Bob x King.

SamuelVimes · 2013-08-26T01:52:00.000Z

Wait a second, crap! If Yung Ice’s Lei video is on eventhubs, then everyone at Defend the North is going to know his matchup and I’ll be dead in the water. Curse you Yung Ice!

Thancruz · 2013-08-26T01:52:17.000Z

uh oh don’t waste your time on strategy vids or guides guys, Event Hubs comments say it’s a waste of time cuz we ain’t got as many players as AE. I better warn the Injustice community to stop making videos as well, I mean they are up there, but not on AE & UMVC3’s level.
