Frame data only tells you about potential links. However, the newer charts on the wiki contains a ‘cancel ability’ column that shows the combo-ability of the move. Ryu’s c.MK, for instance, is super and special cancel-able (sp/su), meaning that if c.Mk touches the opponent you can input a special/super move to cancel the recovery.
As far as reading the charts for link potential, you have to see what each attack leaves you at on hit and find a follow-up with startup frames that are less or equal to that frame advantage gained. So if you have a jab or normal that leaves you +6 on hit, see if you have a normal/special/super/ultra that has a startup of 6 frames or less. Note the timing of the link gets harder the more equal the advantage, startup frames are to each other.
Good games to everyone I played last Saturday (I’m the scrubby Rufus/Ryu new guy who showed up around 8:00 and brought the stick.) I’m not sure if I can make it this week, I have a party to go to, but I will definitely be back. Nice meeting you DKL and thanks for organizing this, it’s very cool to have something reliable going on that’s easy to get to.
^^ Thanks for coming through, level up with us anytime! There’s another Rufus player that comes here on occasion. Maybe one of these meets, you can run into one another and trade some tips!
In other news, I got a reply from Dean, head honcho at EU regarding portable speakers:
yo guys since i still dont have a xbox and it’s my day off i’m thinkin about goin to EU today ( got work Sat. so i wont make it to this weeks meet)…so yeah IF i do go i’ll go around the same time we meet usually meet.
Been working on my SF game… picked up GUILE and RYU…
I didn’t focus on playing flashy, just on playing solid…
(for starters, I get hit a lot less when I don’t randomly try to do things on my opponent’s wakeup)
That said, I should learn some Ryu combos before this Saturday’s meet…
Man, it’s great to be back…
EDIT:
FADC from special moves is apparently easier than I thought it was…
When you do a move that has a FORWARD motion in it, you can use it to buffer the dash…
Essentially, when you FADC Hadouken, you really only need to push forward ONCE more to dash cancel since the game still has the previous forward motion from the actual hadouken movement in memory…
I wish I knew this sooner; WTF.
As a result, Shinku Hadouken from an FADC’d EX Hadouken is actually doable.
Do you mean Metsu Hadoken (ultra1)? EX hadou fadc super is impossible without infinite meter :razz:
In the corner you can do EX Fireball xx ultra without an FADC, I get caught with that all day. I’m starting to think Ryu’s Ultra 2 is pretty viable, at least against Cammy. Ryu can’t normally dp a meaty dive kick (whiffs or gets stuffed), but U2 sucks me in everytime. I end up spending more time trying to bait it out and forget to apply some actual pressure
ggs to all tonight!!!
we finally got a good amount of regulars now…so let’s plan a roadtrip to match your skills wit the outside world…lol doesn’t have to be now…but sometime in the near future.
Gg’s all. I was speaking to one of the employees and I mentioned having an ssf4 tournament the same day as the bb:cs tourney. As long as we bring our own setups they have no problem with us running a tournament as well. Let’s get the word out so we can get a good tournout and hopefully the home team can take it! I can bring a tv and some 360 te sticks, I also have a ps3 hrap if we can get some ps3s for this.
ggs guys those were some well spent hours. I think the roadtrip and tournament are good ideas that we should definitely make happen. I bet we could get more to show for the ssf4 tournament than blazblue
Good games, you guys rock. I can’t believe how sucky I am at doing Cammy’s BnB combos these last few days, think I’ll take a few days off this week to let my muscle memory resync :lol:
I’m all for an ssf4 tourney, if we can get two setups let’s make it happen. We should probably run it by TaoFTW (organizer), to avoid any confusion. I don’t know much about organizing such an event, but I’ll help where I can!
If we can get a 3rd strike setup going one of these weekends, let me know, I’ll try to drag some of my coworkers across the bay with me that day (they love 3s and only 3s).
The only thing that worries me at this point is that if we do it the same day as the BB tournament (which is in like 2 weeks), it’s very likely that we’ll be doing some kind of fire marshal violation given that there’s going to be too many people…
Anyway, as usual, I’ll have my 360 gear as well…
But, yes, I don’t really know how it would work at this point, but I’m all for it.
Sorry I’ve been away the past couple weekends. Last weekend was my Bday and I was in Reno, and this weekend I had company that came out. I dont believe I have much going on Next weekend so ill be showing up.
DKL: BTW got BBCS, and Im working on it… but I noticed the Tourny, looks like it should be a good day.
