Guard attack is abit weird i’ve found. It seems to work against everyone but the timing is different for everything aswell. For instance against fireballs that don’t travel along the ground, you need to do it as late as possible. While against specials and anti-airs i find doing it early sometimes works. I’m fairly new to this game so perhaps Kick or Cray can help you out more.
Also Match vids of Kick, Cray and myself are on thier way.
Heres a test match video i made to see if i could do it. Sorry about the quality and hypercan watermark. Match is between me and Crayfish from a large set we had with Middlekick on kaillera.

I absolutely love this game, AND this thread. It’s so nice to see i’m not the only one who feels the same way.
Two new fantastic matchvids over at HeneHena (No.16 & No.17)
Geese Howard vs Ryo Sakazaki. This looks to be a really nice matchup, watch for Geese breaking up Shoto fireball patterns with ir Fireballs, Parrythrowing ar attacks and snuffing Ryo’s dash Super with jabs. Awsome stuff

Really nice breakown of Billy. Just to add in a couple of things:
Standing D.
This can be a nice psych to use at medium range, it spins and can hit in two parts at the right range (operating much like Guile’s c.HK sweep). Due to the fact that the 2nd hit only comes out at certain ranges, you can often trick the opponent into walking into it. The best way t do this is whiffing the first hit just outside its max range.
Also regarding standing C.
Another of its fantastic attribute (besides charge holding advance, ant air and combo starting) is the fact it travels over low attacks and hts mid-range (much like Guile’s f/b+MK ‘Sobat’ fom ST). This is a fantastic move to counter sweeps and go into Combos.
And Standing A.
Its an fantastic super fast poke-snuff at medium-close range. Stops many attacks in thier tracks.
btw R3ko, why didn’t you mention your fantastic Billy montage you made from the Japanese matchvids?:

I really hope Middlekick can get some good quality captures of Kumite3 together, ther were some excellent head to head battles in there.
Great wok :tup:
Krouser breakdown coming soon.
Crayfish.
IMO Big Bear is the best character in FFS. I’ll demostrate at FRX for those that don’t believe me.
Shinblanka, what is FRX? That some kind of tournament?
I’ve mirrored here as Henehena seems to be down atm:

Crayfish.
I don’t know if you guys have seen this but it seems that Fatal Fury Special is coming to Xbox Live Arcade.http://www.gamespot.com/news/6156462.html . This is awesome news since I’ve been enjoying playing this game and having more comp to play against would be great. I’m surprised it’s coming to say the least.Totally unexpected.
looks like im gonna stop spamming Kim’s Phoenix Flattener
oh shit! its comming to xbl!!! looks like i have to brush off the cobwebs!! ive got the game on the psp (on a snes emulator) but it runs sooo slow… if i could only get the neo geo emulator to work!!
Then its decided, i will be getting an 360. Who can resist both HF and FFS. The very best of old school.
i’ll be online soon wat club do everyone play on
This game is actually becomming my new favorite game. I had always liked it, but I actually seem to be a natural with Laurence Blood for some reason. I wish I could put some match vids up to be critiqued.
I will surely do my best to be online for some FFsp…Wes…we gotta get some action in at the OSC.
i’ll be on god weapon today
I have an all-in-wonder card for my desktop, I will see if I can use it somehow to make some match videos for FFS. I am not very good at computer hardware though so it might take me a while. I really wanna be critiqued.
hey, what about my video camera? we can use that too cap footage!
Hot match video.
Hi folks.
Some match vids and stuff.
From a Kaillera 3-player ‘winner stays on’ session we had a few weeks ago: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ASMAMX9B You will need Mame version 0.64 to view the files. After unzipping, please place the files in the emulator’s inp directory or appropiate. The are 3 separate replays; after each one is finished, close the emulator and load the next. The first replay should end at Billy vs Cheng (Time Up).
To avoid confusion on who’s playing:
Crayfish: Geese, Laurence, Cheng, Joe and Tung (in green)
r3ko: Laurence, Andy, Geese and Billy
I used Duck, Jubei, Tung (in blue), and Axel
Next up are matches between myself, r3ko, Crayfish and Ryza. These were recorded from 2 different sessions at Crayfish’s place. I’m still uploading these, so expect more in the next few days.

Checked out http://www.ii-park.net/~garosp/ and found more interesting stuff.
First, is a Guard Attack ranking chart, which goes something like this:
1 Geese
2 Andy
3 Joe / Axel
5 Mai/ Bear
7 Jubei / Cheng/ Krauser
10 Terry / Duck/ Billy / Kim
14 Tung
15 Laurence
The rankings are based on how each GA scores on the following categories:
reach, start-up, how easy it is to use, and finally, how well it compliments the rest of the character’s moves. In the categories, and out of a rating of 5 (the highest), Geese’s GA scored 4,5,3,3 respectively. Axel scored a 5 with his GA’s reach unsurprisingly but didn’t score too well in the other fields. And for you Laurence users out there, 2,1,1,1, I’m sad but not shocked to report.
This site still amazes me with the amount of information hidden within. Found this gem for Jubei. Basically, it’s a Jubei combo listing chart/recipe against each character, showing which combo to use for soandso to score a dizzy. It even tells how much each move of the combo does in dizzy points. Very handy. I’ll translate later.
In other news, I managed to play with the dip switches in Kawaks, and found the one which displays all hit-boxes! Very nice and interesting to have. Here are some of note.
I’ve drawn over the actual hit-boxes in MSpaint so they’re easier to see. Red = attacking; green = vulnerable.
fantastic work middlekick. I thought this thread was going to die on us.
Btw i think elements is bringing his FFS cart to Fighters Day 2, so we will have to get some games in.
