The Casual Player's Guide to Beating Marie

[not_so_saint_1]

Now, if you think there needs to be a guide for a casual player who wants to become competitive (as opposed to just knowing how to deal with Marie), then I will consider writing something like that. Unfortunately I feel like it would sound very pedantic on my part because I can’t use fighting game terms, and I would have to go through it with baby steps and it would feel very awkward lol

I mean, I would do it anyways. It would just feel weird to go say something like this:

"To throw, get close to your opponent and hit LP and LK at the same time while standing. You can even do this in the air! But be careful; if you’re not close enough you will be vulnerable to attack!

If you think your opponent is going to throw you, you can defend yourself by doing a “throw tech”. To do a throw tech, you have to hit LP and LK at the same time when you are expecting a throw. But watch out; you can’t do a throw tech while crouching.

So at any point where the opponent is near, both players must watch for something called a low/throw mixup…"

GAH, it feels like Sesame Street for the FGC. And I’m Kermit the Fortune player.

It’s EXACTLY what I want actually. Only thing I feel you should consider IMO is in-game tutorial mode. Like you don’t need to restate some things if you’ll make sure your readers cleared tutorial mode already. Or if you want your guide to be cover everything yo can refer to certain lessons in it. Like after explaining teching you can state number of lesson that covers teching and suggest your readers to clear this lesson several times, right?

Anyways I think it’s a GREAT idea on your part and I support it wholeheartedly! =3

Alright then! I’ll see what I can do.

That’s funny. I beat her quickest with Ms. Fortune. It’s Cerebella with whom I’ve had the biggest problem who is ironically my best character. It’s taking me forever to beat her on Ridiculous and I’ve tried many, many strategies. Took me a while to figure out her tell of what type of minion she’s going to summon which made the battle so much easier. But Marie is damn hard when you’re a grappler that can’t grab.

Thanks!!

I just got the game yesterday (I really like it) and couldn’t figure out how to kill her when she’s floating in the air. Anyway could you make a simple guide for playing online. I tried to look at some of the combo threads but people were posting 60 button moves, how is someone suppose to remember that =[.

I’ve been learning very simple combos. Cerebella for example: c.LK, c.MP, s.HP, qcf+LP, qcf+PP. You can play other people with just this combo, depending on their skill of course. Once you get that down, make it bigger.

Bella is almost the easiest character to do it with, just save your meter till the 3rd stage and qcf+PP to the end. Stage 1 watch her hand, Stage 2 hit, jump over ad nauseum. Imo.

It’s funny. I actually ended up beating her last night finally. Seems the Lock N Load spam did better than I thought. Her 3rd form I always try dp+HP but I was able to get enough of them in this time. I’ve tried qcf+PP before but it always gets interrupted right away and it never does any damage. Once, I was actually able to spam a few but I still lost that round. The trick I used was to qcb+PP right before her change to her 3rd form so I could get some extra damage in before she turned. I usually just used it before then.

Yeah HP lock and load does loads of damage.
