So You're a Fan of my Work, Huh? - The Frank West Videos Thread

Ok, so I attended a small 8-man tournament today and while I feel my performance was absolutely lacking when comparing to how I play regularly (them tournament nerves, man), I still want you guys to comment on my matches if you can bear through the portuguese resets and overall fairly weak level. http://www.twitch.tv/garudapsn/b/322421505 my first match is at 0:12:20 (ignore the names and results, they were a bit slow with uploading those, I’m “Blue”, first player.) and my second one is at 1:11:00 (I’m the guy in the blue shirt, but not that you care). I realise some of the MAJOR fuck-ups that I did, especially in my second match. Hilariously failed a Hawkeye air magic series and then the otg to kill wesker (I swear I don’t know how that happened, I have to work on my nerves) and then on the final match, that absolutely desperation tactic of an anti-air hyper with Frank when I could have simply punished the teleport. But hey, further feedback on my Frank play is welcome, just please don’t cringe too much at the failures :wink: thanks!

So I started looking into using Frank as an anchor instead of on point, so that you can two chances to level him up instead of depending on your first character. Anyway, I’ve always felt Frank teams biggest weakness was sacrificing your chance of killing the character just to level Frank. I feel you lose momentum and people can always come back. So I devised a way to level Frank and kill the character using Nova’s other good friend Spencer.

You can actually take a picture after the last vertical grapple from Spencer. He popped out the corner and I couldn’t get another chance to record this. It levels him to 4 though most characters won’t survive the damage. Combo builds 1 and a half bars and uses 2. Let me know what you all think.

Nice clip, thanks for that. Bee’s got a few Frank habits he really needs to break, and his presence of mind on combo optimization needs some work, but besides that he’s doing the right stuff. Strong, viable Frank team too if you can use Spencer/Dante well, I like it (would’ve liked to have seen some unscaled grapple raw tag snapshots though).

Iv found a Dante corner combo that can level up frank to level 4 without meter. The timing can be tricky for the dante assist to recover but if you just do it early you get level 3 anyway and i believe if you have another assist that you could use it should be easyer.

You can also picture, and either super jump and knee drop or kick them and then picture super safely. This then allows you to combo into Tools of Survival into Devil Trigger DHC and a raw tag back again. Easy level five there.

You can’t do this mid screen? I know you can combo into hammer after a prop shredder, but if you land the prop shredder a bit lower can you follow up into Sky Dance?

I also think that if you did a picture instead of :dp::h: at the end you would be able to level up again and would therefore do more damage with the super.

Love it!

You can cancel the second photo into super anyway and im pretty sure you can dhc into dante, i just didnt to show that he got lv4 without meter. also the combo does work midscreen but you have to know the height. in the corner you can teleport cancel and the height is automatically done for you. This works on the whole cast in the corner and you can use the teleport method on chris midscreen.

You can extend that combo LARGELY. I don’t play dante, but can’t a full combo–> TK’D sky dance (Reset bounce)–> Hard Tag work and garauntee and easier 5 Frank set up?

I asume you mean do a full combo then reset the ground bounce with beehive. Im pretty sure the beehive moves groundbounce isnt high or slow enough enough to raw tag ill chenck next chance i get but im pretty sure.

So I attended a tournament this weekend and I got some matches for you guys. Unfortunately I was nervous as hell so I didn’t play my best. I have some legitimately good matches coming (including a perfect) but those are yet to be uploaded so I’ll post them later.

My 3 matches are at 0:15:25, 0:44:40 and 1:07:00

EDIT: My good matches have been uploaded but unfortunately they went down when the stream was having problems so the video is very skippy which sucks. I wanted to be able to rewatch my matches properly =( Either way

My first match is at 10:55 and my second one is at 29:30

Just for fun:

Anyone got the direct link to any Bee money matches from Canada Cup? I fell asleep waiting for them on Saturday night and the Edmonton Gamers channel has a million archive clips.

He has a pretty solid Frank West, I rarely get surprised watching other people use him but Bee is pretty damn good, I’m impressed!
