actually ST already has throw invincibility
you big stupid face
[warning: tatsujinken is angry. very angry. and possibly sweaty. if you feel that you are knowledgeable enough with vega (aka if you already knew that his ST had throw invincibility) then ignore the following rant. everyone else, please continue reading]
Q. seriously people. why else do you think your dumb/scrubby/random reversal STs actually WORK sometimes?
A. the other guy was probably trying to throw you. or he fucked up his meaty attack. or he doesn’t even know what a meaty attack is. or he was trying to see what it’s like to block with his face.
newsflash! you suck. scarlet terror sucks. and your vega sucks for using it so much. the only reason you get away with this shit is because people don’t know any better. or people have trouble punishing it on your 2-bar connection
that’s gimmicky as hell.
you really think you’re gonna net consistent wins with gimmicks?
do you know how ashamed i feel when i’m playing a match against a good player and it’s down to the wire, and i do wakeup scarlet terror and it actually HITS? do you even realize how shameful that is? i want to commit seppuku everytime. you should feel the same way
i’m not going to tell you guys how to play your vega. i think it’s cool to develop your own playstyle. but having your own “playstyle” isn’t some kind of magical shield that prevents others from thinking that you’re complete garbage at the game.
here’s the rundown. if you’re using ST and 50% of the time it’s not part of a combo, then YOU’RE PROBABLY DOING IT WRONG! your playstyle is probably risky, gimmicky, random, and stupid. you probably understand nothing about vega. you probably have a giant ego, play exclusively on XBL/PSN and think that you’re the shit, and believe that you can beat alex valle if you believed in yourself hard enough
real talk. i guarantee you that if you stop trying to use ST at stupid times like on wakeup, or after your blocked rcfs that leave you at -2 or w/e, then you’ll probably be a much better player.
see, i’m like morpheus bitches. you can take the red pill or the blue pill. you can take my advice, or you can leave it and continue living in your world of SUCK
don’t misunderstand. it’s not like i’m saying you shouldn’t EVER use ST outside of a combo. heavens no, i’m not saying that at all. depending on the risk/reward involved, there are specific situations where ST is still worth using. it can get you out of trouble against certain mixups, and it can break the opponent’s momentum.
“break the opponent’s momentum” - this is crucial!
for example, if you THINK that abel is going for tornado throw after f+mk xx dash in, then go for it. or if you THINK that akuma is going for a grab off the demon flip, then go for it. or if you just baited someone to jump towards you with cr.jab, then by all means, go for it!
in my book, that’s playing it smart. you are calculating risk/reward and you are using your brain. i think that using ST in this manner is awesome and respectable! high five to you.
-THE MORE YOU KNOW-
the problem is that some (many?) of you continue to use this move at complete RANDOM without understanding why it only hits sometimes and why it doesn’t hit at all the other times. all the while bragging it off with your dumb youtube videos of laggy netplay matches, or tournament matches against people who equally suck just as much if not more than you. talking about how awesome and pro you are with vega and how he’s totally not the shittiest character in the game
fuck outta here with that shit
continue doing full screen fierce rcfs. continue trying to walldive on characters who can shut you out of the air or on characters who have a teleport. continue trying to chip people to death with your ultra (it’s not like they can backdash or jump away from it or EX uppercut it or even ultra it right?)
i’m just keeping it real here. you suck. you want to win with random shit? you’re picking the wrong character, doofus. you are no better than- no, i take it back, you are WORSE than the sagat player that mashes tiger uppercuts all the time. because at least he knows that his reversal move doesn’t completely suck my balls
on a more cheerful note, it’s only a few more weeks till super (^?^) yay!
