I told you Shen suited you.
Well in one of the vids, I saw Athena’s DM got B+CD countered. That changes a lot of things, as I should keep that in mind now. I still don’t know who to use for my other two characters as Im having trouble getting complicated motions out with my Stick.
b+CD will beat like every super if timed correctly so don’t drop plans to play Athena solely based on that.
Oh i wasn’t planning on dropping athena, this more opened my eyes on the opotential of back+CD counter
Yeah, it seems as if back CD gets “activated”, it can withstand multiple hits, but it is susceptible to moves with invincibility if you used a move that is special/super cancelable to activate their back CD. Also, ill update the first post when i get back from work tonight. Yay sticky!
good matches finally
lol, terry destroying tornados with his fist
^Awesome vids.
Thanks.
good vids but these guys are the most boring players in the world
Just watched the Japanese matches. Yea they are pretty conservative and it looks like they don’t know the big combos or anything yet. It took 3 matches for someone to throw after several cases of someone just sitting and blocking for like 10 seconds haha.
some things i noticed:
Duolon’s f+A doesn’t seem to have a hitbox very far out, Ryo’s dp whiffed right through it and not from that far either.
Ryo’s j.B crosses up. Kensou had something that crossed up too, dunno what button it was. Kyo’s j.C crosses, along with j.B.
Kyo’s rdp+B whiff actually looks legit as a mixup/ch baiter (actually I think I noticed this is Kane’s or a UK vid first).
You can jump cancel from clashes, so when you hit a projectile, you can jump cancel from the hit. Looks like you could still be hit easily, though since there’s a freeze before you jump.
Chin can combo from his overhead, even if it’s not a counter-hit.
Leona has instant overhead j.A xx super.
I just decided to add to the list of videos since there still isn’t as many videos out.
Japanese matches? You mean the Chinese ones posted?
Oh, they are Chinese? My bad. The profile page says Japan.
I just remember when I did the translation in Chinese it made more sense than in Japanese. Then again I could be wrong as well.
I was also going to say about the clash stuff you can input dashes/small jumps during the clash to cancel into it quickly. I did it a few times when I played at AI last Sat and isn’t really hard to time. I find it more useful agains’t fireball spammers to get in close to them easier. If anything you can probably time a small jump C+D after the clash if they try sticking something else out. I’ll do some more test this next Sat when I go again.
Seems to work like JD, except that you can cancel it into anything.
In one of the vids Joe clashed with a fireball using Slash Kick and then super jumped into a jumpin combo before Robert (I think it was) was able to recover from his fireball throwing animation.
Kinda like in Garou where if they throw a fireball you can JD into a super or whatever before they recover from their animation.
Well it depends cause I’ve done it to people but they still have time to counter if they know it’s coming. You can either back + C + D or use a poke or dp to counter the small jump/jump attempt. It all depends on the distance you are when you clash if you are right next to them then it’s possible to counter like that quickly. If you’re doing clashes full screen then you can easily get countered if they see the clash and expect a follow up. I should probably post this stuff in the system thread since this is suppose to be mainly video posting/talking. Bring on more videos if you find any guys.
If you guys like the Arcade Infinity ones, there are more here, some have already been posted by xxkimixx
^ nice vids
good quality vids and matches.
I’m 99% sure nakaji is japanese. He wouldn’t be able to play VF5R with card and everything outside of japan.
