Which team are you using?

Valentine/Parasoul/Cerebella.

I feel once I get the hang of it, it will be really hard to stop.

@girlstyle:Shut up you drunkard.

BrandX · 2013-01-23T05:11:04.000Z

Shoot, I forget half of Bella’s tools and resets when I play. That’s why I said learning the movement is key, because once movement is second nature, everything else becomes apparent.

It wasn’t an insult. I have a habit of making compliments (and jokes) sound like underhanded insults. It must be the only thing I was born good at. By “Hit buttons in order” I meant that you have a combo, one you intentionally do each time you attack (unless you have different ones I don’t see), you don’t drop combos very often (if at all, I haven’t seen it), and you don’t get flustered easy and drop combos after getting hit/resetted for long periods. It’s more than can be said for most, if not all of the people of the skill level you think yourself of.

Well thanks dude, I knew you didn’t mean it XD You have the same problem that I do when talking about things.

Thanks dude! I really appreciate it. I’m glad that my skill has improved over the 4-5 months i’ve been playing

Ghostfreak · 2013-01-23T05:48:40.000Z

So…I was trying to face GhostFreak on SkullGirls. I opened a room, invited him and then when someone entered, I thought it was him.

Turns out, I was playing someone else the entire time and talking to someone with a mic that I thought was GhostFreak LOL (Was wondering why he wasn’t talking)

Which means he didn’t get to see the most high damaging reset I had ever done in SkullGirls

Anyway if you come on SRK guy I played, GGs!

My bad dude,I had thought the same thing when someone entered my room and was playing a Solo Fillia, though to be honest I haven’t touched the game in quite a while so I have to knock the rust off. Been so busy playing Borderlands 2 and wanting to get my Siren up to lv 50 (I was able to do that and finally put the kibosh on Terramorphus at the same time yesterday, so I was a happy cringle! Gotta work on my other classes now.) and was playing with friends for the most part. Not to mention I had lent out my PS3 to a friend of mine because he didn’t have one and he wanted to put in some practice into UMVC3.

I am online now so if anyone feels like catching a few games then they are more than welcome to invite me, or vice versa(See what I did there? XD) and we can catch a few. 2013 is definitely going to be the ultimate year of gaming hands down and its good to see the SG threads still up and running as I have been super busy as of late.

St.Minority · 2013-01-23T07:43:54.000Z

I’ve been away for so long!! I miss my SG buddies! (I’m looking at you, Ghostfreak, Wingzero, and BrandX for sure ) I’ll be back more regularly soon! Hope everyone is still having fun playing.

St.Minority · 2013-01-23T09:41:54.000Z

I missed you too ;______;

We’ll definitely have to play and I’m excited that you have a headset! I won’t be talking to myself any more lol

konkrete · 2013-01-23T10:12:59.000Z

Playing now. Please join me.

konkrete · 2013-01-23T11:40:32.000Z

Ggs nekro. Paracock kid a pain to deal with. I bet you can work in more damage with that full screen pressure.

nekro_surge · 2013-01-23T12:20:48.000Z

Yah man GGs! I play Valentine/Parasol main but I just picked up peacock/parasol. Still learning how to use peacock, picked her up cus I’m always playing Cisco kid. I wanto learn how to zone like his peacock but also zone with parasol napalm shots and peacock shadow of Doonassist. Dude that painwheel ugh! I’m always getting caught in that painwheel haha. Yeah man I’m working on that peacock parasol zoning.

TJgamer · 2013-01-23T12:30:20.000Z

Fun matches Krete, lots of tense moments. Felt that item assist was was really eating at you though, felt kind of bad D: Also the first couple of matches were a bit laggy, felt that messed with your combos, a few of those rounds should have been yours I think. Fun set either way, nice to see your parasoul is getting better as well!

Dime · 2013-01-23T12:49:34.000Z

As a painwheel that has to play against item assist all the time (and has it on my main team)… Yes its a pain in the ass for painwheel to deal with… I even have a convert that picked up peacock just to get that assist on his team… Personally i think item drop assist is one of the best in the game… But only for trio teams… Gtfo is to important to not have.

Item drop assist gives pw fits cause it hits pws backwards,neutral and forward startup flight… Ie it hits all her flights unless she was already moving forward for a period of 5-10 frames…

Its punkass shit.

But pw has a trick or 2 up her sleeve:

Rush down the assist since it has no invulnerability.
J.hp armor through it.
Use fly f+mk to make it wiff if you know what your opponents timing on the lvl1 sid will be (not hard since they usually use it to AA close to peacock… Or to pressure from far)

Point peacock is different…

Lvl2 sid owns painwheel… But there are ways once again around this:

Turtle the sid out if its hp… Peacock doent have anything to hit a character from far really while shes holding a hp sid (except for bombs which are easy to jump)
Figure out your opponents lvl2 and higher drop patterns and call out an assist right as they release…this way you can gain pressure after you block the drop, or you can keep yourself from being rushed down by dat cock.

Peacock and painwheel are my foavorite characters in this game… So fun… So many options… Ah

DV8 · 2013-01-24T04:11:46.000Z

I have a room open if anyone wants to play

haha

That assist is too damn good not to include on a Painwheel team now I’m convinced. I even managed to slightly abate Pichy’s Valentine with it. But still, Valentine.

Yeah that assist is definitely to good for pw to not use… I think val would be a great user of it as well.

His val isnt even what gives me the greatest problems anymore…
Once i understood the character i figured out that 2 things are needed to beat that ho:

A vertical invulnerable assist.
A decent knowledge of the vals bait movement and what distances she loke to attack from…

put them together and you can give her fits cause shes kinda useless without being able to jump in… Not that its an absolute counter, shes still a monster… But pichys filia is what truly scares me and his double as well… Though its mostly that filia… Its the best one ive played yet… His spacing for her airdashes and instant air hairballs is amazing and i generally have no idea how to deal with them… Cant yomi them down yet… Yeah that bitch gives me nightmares haha

Hit me up if you want to play… I have my bnb down now and have bought a new stick that actually works… Also dropped flia from my team… I dont have the spacing patience to get that character down… I just put parasoul in her place as im good with her for the most part… Well alot better than i am with filia, which isnt saying much… Ha

Retsamehtmai · 2013-01-24T10:51:32.000Z

hai all! i think i found the right thread…this is pretty cool

Retsamehtmai · 2013-01-24T10:55:11.000Z

ok i got a quesstion…i use painwheel as a main character with no assists yet…but my weakness is having to jump every time i want to start an attack…so i can avoid other attacks O_O plus i don’t know a way to start long combo chains yet, anybody have any pointers they’d like to share?

I actually found Pichy’s Fillia pretty linear after noticing his patterns so I didn’t feel too bad in that matchup (plus he almost never resets).

Valentine though, goddamn. He was all over me in neutral and I struggle to do a thing about it.

Also I’m up for games whenever, I should be online the rest of tonight if you are on.

Unfortunately my internet just took a crap… I will probably be cavemanning it till the weekend at least… Super pissed.
I hate telecommunications companys… Charging so much for their shit services… Sigh.

In the future its best to ask those types of questions in the character specific threads… But ill answer it here, it isnt a “HUGE” transgression:

Pw has many weaknesses to balance out her strengths, also, the balances in her weaknesses are overcomeable with a high level skill. Some of her inherent weaknesses are:

Precise air to air moves making it hard for her to defend or offend in a no brain fashion unlike say, double who can jump with 1 aerial move and use it for all situations… Heres how to use painwheels aerial moves:

Best overall air attack: j.hk
Best air to air: jump back medium punch or armored j.hp
Best jump in against grounded foes:(max flight height against a grounded foe) fly>forward plus j.mk or up forward plus j.mk while calling an assist

Against people that like to ground anti air you just call an assist and bait their AA by flying backwards.
Air to airs are tricky and generally just requires pw to make them wiff or super through them or pushblock them… Though she can be proactive with jump lp or lk as well as the occasional armored move while calling out an assist to cover for the armorred moves active frames since pw has no armor during active frames…

For now just ask questions in the painwheel thread and im sure i or tomo or even that… (He who shall not be named crackhead) will help.

For now though know that 99% of your offense comes from the air. Learn the use of j.hk first then branch out to other moves… Im just learning how to apply j.mp at the moment. Ive got j.mk and j.hp and j.hk and j.lk figured out… J.mp is the hardest for me personally to apply.

Hope that helps. You can find combos in the painwheel combo thread… Just look at the
Ast page and you should see all you need to know to have a competent painwheel

Have fun
