switch cancels

I really like abc, launcher, 2 or 3 hit combo, tag cancel, 2 more hit combo and finish with ex or something. Its just gonna take sometime till we figure out what moves work great with tag cancels. So many possibilities. Also, tag cancels for me have proved to be safer on block than just straight up raw tagging (if you are blocking low and my normal whiffs, i can tag cancel the move and then go for an overhead with the entering character, this might not be practical but im just theorizing here. DAY 3!

If there’s one part of the game that I found to be a key thing I feel most people aren’t utilizing (at least from watching WNF), it’s switch cancels.

Are those when you press both medium attacks together?

Rival2.1 · 2012-03-09T01:52:57.000Z

yes
EDIT: Also, if anyone wants a copy of the Brady guide, PM me

I figured that’s what they were. Now to figure out what’s optimal for doing damage then. I like the tag cancels, not so thrilled they cost a half a bar of meter. This game has a ton of meter dependent options available.

Golden_Necklace · 2012-03-09T02:24:24.000Z

When you feelin bored mash those two buttons lol! Meter seems to build fast. Gotta be mindful and i’d spend a bar to get a character OUT!

I don’t think Rufus is broken, or even top tier in this game. He has shitty defense, and bad footsies. His damage output is the only appealing, and once you delve into the game system, his damage isn’t too far off from other characters’ optimal combos.

I hope you’re not basing this off of the Rufus’ we’ve seen so far (NerdJosh, OnlineTony).

Finally got my copy, hitting the training room asap XD

@Rival Nah. That’s hella damage scaling. I meant something along the lines of: jump in, cr. Strong, walk forward, random uppercut xx switch cancel.

@Goatrix it’s when you do a move, any move (sweep, overhead, special, etc.), and during it you switch with both mediums. That kind of switching burns a bar.

@Dragoomba Why would you even think about considering that’s what I’m basing it off of? o_O

EDIT: DLC Gems are stronger than "Regular" Gems /wrists

Wish I could head over for the festivities this Saturday, but I’ll be in Montana. I’ll be bringing my stick and SFXT though, so maybe I’ll see some of you on xbox live next week and I can finally play on a decent connection.

r00ster22 · 2012-03-09T10:25:58.000Z

So we are not doing the 8,6,4,1 style we did before? Just wondering on the change but that seems fine to me as well… god i hate studying.

mr.tibbs · 2012-03-09T12:04:24.000Z

Needs more BlazBlue.

Rival2.1 · 2012-03-09T12:26:57.000Z

yo, SF4 8th place, yyyeeeeaaaaahh

Churro · 2012-03-09T13:56:05.000Z

wasn’t there more entrants in SF4 than any of the other games?

and… I so wish Seth was in SFxT, he would fit in perfectly. Ogre shouldn’t have taken his model, but his entire moveset lol

Dat Abel-Seth hybrid alt, holy crap. I always wanted Abel to have that alt O_O

Don’t worry, I’m sure Capcom will happily charge you for Seth, movelists, colors, an alternate soundtrack, new rims w/ matching rear spoiler and an eight piece Seth-themed kitchen set in the future lol.

EDIT: I’m also thinking the same thing about SFIV. Shouldn’t it have had waaaaaaay more entrants than the other games?

r00ster22 · 2012-03-09T20:11:07.000Z

Top 8 get points and the other games have finished twice I believe that is what it is about.

Goatrix · 2012-03-09T20:50:25.000Z

I thought we had SFIV since the beginning or did SFIV not finish that first night? More importantly, how am I second in Marvel? I did way shitty both weeks.

r00ster22 · 2012-03-09T22:52:46.000Z

SF4 did not finish the first week since a fair amount of people left. Also you are probably that high in Marvel because you did well enough both times and some of the competitors that did well the first week didn’t show up for the 2nd week.

Churro · 2012-03-10T00:44:43.000Z

wait, I missed one of these? =/

r00ster22 · 2012-03-10T01:03:55.000Z

wait, I missed one of these? =/

yes you didn’t make it to the first one remember?

I forget the date exactly was like late January or early February.
