The KOFXI Thread Version III-EVO World Team Tournament: Team Juarez v. Cali v. Japan!

What? Color Edits? Or do you color selection chart?

XI Ryo command parries outclass the 99 thru 2003 Ryo command parries by eons.

Because is in the command list?

Well played, sir, but allow me to rephrase: are Ryo’s parries completely impractical? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one used in a match vid. I know they can’t be 3S spammable because of the animation, but still, I would think they can be useful in some situations.

About the kof 99 thing: I’m a kof newb. Walked by a machine in 98 in some mall faraway, picked Iori, never saw him again until CvS1.

They are not completely impractical…but it requires you knowing what you can and can’t use it against…meaning you have to know the game very very well…

I use them from time to time when I play Ryo…

You can parry athenas LDM when shes falling. You can parry Jazus DM, you can parry…well a lot of things, but as DG you must know what youre doing

The problem with them is that it’s not parry -> free combo like it would be in 3S. You can only follow the parries with a special move anyway, and in that case, removing the middle man entirely (using the autoguard on zanretsuken to absorb a hit or just doing a deep fierce DP instead of parry -> special) just seems more natural.

It’s not useless per se (as pointed out above), but there are plenty of better options for most situations.

Exactly…they arent mindless parries if you are thinking 3s or even like Geeses even…you gotta know what you are doing and what you can use them against.

And you want to parry Athenas LDM as she’s falling because thats the part that’s UNBLOCKABLE.

I completely agree.

Judge are you coming to EVO World?

Finally getting back in the grooves of things. Getting better at remembering QSing exists.

Now just trying to figure out QS combos. Lame. D:

read page 31 :tup:

I read those. None of them apply to me. xD

I play Beni(L)/Gato/Yuri(Iori)

hmmm:

(corner) Yuri, j.d/j.c, close C, df + d, acb + P (hold a bit), dp+C x2 QS on the second dragon punch to Benimaru, before you fall do an air raijin ken (qcf + p) then hit them with something like a standing a for example and then LDM since its a anywhere juggle it will hit. Dunno if this works but it was the first combo that came into my head…but i think it works…test it anyways

BTW Duolon is also a good QS starter and ender (because of his LDM and the other combo he has)

When used as a starter, you would want to do, down.a/std C, qcf + a, fwd + b, qcb + C, down A, qcf + p x 2 and QS. Interesting enough, the second hit of duos rekkas (qcf + p x 3) gives you time to land and combo…dunno why. But I do that when the characters that is entering is not gonna be able to hit confirm the jumping attack when they enter, for example Kyo. When I qs into him, he can do a j.d but if I try to do a close C, he will be too far and a far.C would come out instead. But because of duos second rekkas strange property, you can land, run a bit and do a close C into a combo.

Obviously this doesnt apply to corner combos but to midscreen ones.

No, due to high gas prices (4.50+ wherever you go, should be 5.00+ by August)
Seriously, we can afford the hotel, registration and have a little left over this time.
But the gas is what’s killin us, especially w/ a Lincoln that gets no more than 10-12 miles to the gallon.
Nor do we wanna fly over there.
Not any savings either.

well, after playing more than a few matches the other night, i finally settled on my third and it turned out to be one of the characters i’d never thought about playing before… Ash?!?

tried Eiji in about 20 matches and just couldn’t get the feel for him, so started randomly picking thirds and ended up on Ash after about 10 of them and he seems to compliment the team fairly well (Ash, Oz, Adel(L).

Seems kinda like a boring team but i enjoy playing it, just wondered if you guys would off hand know of any match ups that would decimate it? (Raced to 40 against (Duck,Eiji,Kula(L) and was only 5 behind at the end of the night, but that gives me nil experience agaisnt most other match ups with this particular team). and any body have any idea for good QS’s with this particular setup?

Damn man that sucks…maybe this will all end when we have a new president lol.

What r you looking for? 1 skill stock combos or 2 skill stock comboes?

Both?:sweat: In all seriousness though 1 skill stock combo’s are probly prefered as i’m not the greatest at quick shifting yet. But, I wouldn’t mind seeing a few 2 skill stock combo’s, it’d give me something to work towards after all :wgrin:

You might wanna get into Quick shifting. It’s highly beneficial, but mostly for the 1st 2 chars on ur team.

@DG: It not completely hopeless, I might get another job and save up.

Part of the 2 reasons, I’ve been gone.
1.) Job
2.) PS2 died, and just recently got another. (2 1/2 months and I’m rusty at everything)

I’ve been playing my Wii ever since. Especially SSBB.

Who do you start with on that team? Duck or Eiji?

Wow…okay then man better luck next year no?
