Spiral Q & A - Ducvader's Thread

Spiral has a half life combo on magneto, storm , cable or whoever that is not big or sentinel. Just thought I stop by to let you guys know that it does exist and no it does not require supers or power ups or grabs.

Duc

May I ask what it is?

im a spiral player but i can beat msp but when i face sentinel cable and comando is hard for me because when i teleport sentinel always hit me with the missels how can i avoid that

Hold either LP or HP so that you will appear above the missles and not get hit. If you teleport fast enough you can hit sentinel before he finishes his super. If he does regular drones then you want to teleport hold the kick button that will bring you behind sentinel . With this option you can snap him out or go for some combo - its your choice.

Saving that shit for nationals - I wanna do it when there’s a big crowd to see it. The reaction is what I love most -

Duc

Its most likely something with swords - either something similar to stuff Banshee posted or might be something with hk - 3 swords - sent tag in.

uh oh, Duc has sumtin up his sleeve. (you better get that on video)

Quick question, what do you do when a Sent+Doom lock you down, and when the Sent pulls out drones I usually teleport, but he quickly comes back w/ a HSF thats unblockable upon teleport. Otherwise I’m the one who is gettin trapped?

Another question, is there any fancy shit Sent or Cable can do w/ Spiral’s A assist?

No its not swords and no its not some tag out stuff. All I know is it does half life when you hit them. Anyhow - here’s to it working out at evo.

Why would HSF be unblockable? If you teleport and hold either punch, you’ll be too high for super to hit you. Also, you don’t need to teleport in response to drones. Super jumping and calling swords is a viable option.

I didn’t know you can change teleport positions.
Wish I could try it out.

Duc is your half life combo have a reset involved? :rofl:

Spiral is really a reset character.
I betcha it involves Cable’s assist

I once did sumtin like:
load knives, lk, hk+AAA, sjc, lk, lk, hp+2 knives, spiral buster, spin knives, hp
this can be done anywhere except the wall.

Still, that only did about 1/3-1/4 life of damage.

Spiral buster after a combo is a reset or combo? Anyhow, its something you will be doing which involves no misdirection if that is what you meant with resets.

Duc

Its a reset. Its a command grab that you can’t block, so yes it counts as a reset. The opponent just can’t tech out of it.

Lets all wait til EVO. We’ll all see it then.

I say get that shit on tape?

Duc how often you go to PSM, Gladys? Do you still go James games?

He goes to PSM all the time, he’ll only go to Glady’s and James Games when a number of people post that they’re comin.

Since I don’t go to Glady’s anymore, I spend my time at PSM only. (I sure do miss KOF XI though)
think of a friday that we can all go to PSM.

I don’t go to PSM all the time and I haven’t been to gladys for maybe a month now. I go to james games on fridays if I’m not to busy with other things. Haven’t been there in 2 weeks though…

Duc

Well, I stand corrected.

Spiral loses swords when she does any grab (ground throw, airthrow and spiral buster) - except her lvl 3. Must be something different.

EDIT - I tested this again on DC - training mode set dummy to sj , load swords, sj spiral buster …lose swords. also launch(with swords), sj lk,mp,mk, (a few swords left) spiral buster.

lol at Duc being coy… even if he did post it, 90 -95% of the crowd wouldn’t have heard/seen it.

Thats odd, when I use Spiral Buster I don’t lose swords.
It may be because I play the PS2 version.

I can get a DC easily, its just MvC2 I can’t find.
I’m not gonna get a DC w/o me knowin I have MvC2 right next to it.

On shit - PS2 please!
