It gives your opponent more time to react though. Plus, it looks like the common corner resets we’ve seen in the past few weeks (like Wesker’s). I’d rather go for a grab that’s untechable.
I thought about doing a huge writeup on Hulk and how to be successful with him. It would almost be like a mini-guide. Would any of you like that?
I’ll tell you what doesn’t work, doing heavy squats before a tournament that had me on stream sitting on a stool. Nobody to blame but myself really, I should’ve made the guy wait and got a chair - can’t see it but my legs were shaking uncontrollably the whole time. I probably would’ve still lost since the guy I played in round 1 took 7th in the tournament out of I think 76 players but at least I wouldn’t have looked like a tool on the stream.
Was that stream archived? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you play…
Its really not worth watching I got destroyed pretty miserably. Did a lot better in the off stream match when I was at least in a chair. I havent done a tournament in so long it wasn’t like the old school 3S/CvS2/MvC2 days where there were maybe 40 people in a hotel hall or banquet hall at a university. This was a tiny room with over 150 people jammed in it. I’ve really got to practice playing with the stick in my lap instead of on the floor like I use to and have been and then also practice playing without sound because I couldn’t hear shit. Not to mention i changed my team the night before which probably wasn’t too smart either lol ah well.
There was one other Hulk player I saw. In Casuals he looked about the same if not less skilled than me as in the corner he did gammawave into gammtsunami instead of gammacrush multiple times.
I’ve been to quite a few tournaments, and none of them ever say you can’t sit on the floor with the stick in front of you. Why couldn’t you just sit on the floor with the stick in front of you?
It was way way way too crowded. Not to mention I dont know if you would’ve been able to see the televisions from the floor because of how big the tables were that they were on. The facility was over max capacity, you couldn’t breathe in there. I didn’t even want to stay for my second match because of how crowded and hot it was.
what touny did you go to? i would love to see you hulk
The stream really wont show my Hulk, Im telling you I got DESTROYED. You’ll see Hulk die and Task die, and Phoenix for the most part die. I got one win and it was entirely with Phoenix taking out two of his characters before ever becoming DP
It’s not extremely useful, but I found a way to absorb two attacks. The problem is the two hyper armors are 6 frames apart. You do a s.M and just after the hyper armor starts, you cancel into gamma charge AA. It’s not going to work against the multihit attacks that blow throw armor, but it’ll work against a lot of characters mashing c.L or just poking at you. Still hits as quick as anything other than just a gamma charge AA. Use the H 2nd hit of gamma charge AA and you’re +5 on block, too.
If you do the Dark hole (or other assist) late at the end after OTG wave pickup, you can do either :l: charge~:m: or AA :l: charge~:m: then go for air grab or :h: tornado reset. This gives you a little more damage on the initial combo plus allows you time for your OTG assist to reset so you get a full tornado combo.
Also something I’ve been working on is killing Phoenix/DP with chip on the way in. Quake > XFC Quake does a shit ton of chip and if you’ve got someone like Dormammu/Arthur/Magneto/Thor in another slot and the meter to burn you can outright kill her.
Came across some interesting things testing this. With Arthur, his golden bracelet hits so low compared to where they are stuck in blockstun with rocks, that if they try to pushblock all of it, they end up attacking after the rocks stop and get hit by Arthur.
Yup, I use that reset too, I posted it a couple of weeks ago, it works like a charm, and if you know you get the reset, you can get a full combo from a air throw reset into gamma wave L+Assist
If you time it right you can chip her into DP with G.Tsunami, XF, then GTsunami her dead before she ever lands.
Most of the time when I snap in Phoenix, we’re in the corner. I don’t see how Gamma Tsunami, xf, Gamma Tsunami will do any decent amount of chip in the corner.
So my new team idea is SheHulk Tron Hulk.
It sounds like a weird team, but here’s the idea.
Shehulk Tron have obvious synergy. Tron makes it super easy for shehulk to get in and mix up, and I can even DHC glitch with them if it’s not in the corner. (ToT > King Kobun)
Once SheHulk is down, all I need is one hit with Tron and I can DHC glitch King Kobun into Gamma Quake and I can kill anyone.
Once I do that and hulk is on point, tron helps him get in on their next char, then either aerial exchange back to tron and do it again, or BnB > Xfactor > Crush ftw.
The question is which hulk assist to use. Ideally it would be easy to combo off of to help tron get her one hit, but I don’t know that any of hulk assists will do this. Once in a while I can combo off a gamma wave, but it’s not consistent.
Do I stick with that? Or is there a good way to combo off of forward crush? Or do I just go AA and try to get in with tron by herself?
Just came back from another tournament in mid-TN. I placed 2nd with Hulk/Dorm/Sent. Vids coming soon. :tup:
there was an epic hulk at the last tournament event here in eastern washington - and i also gave hulk a go this time around.
Xerxion’s hulk was SO legit though. for REAL. You’ll see when I post. Legit stuff. Hulk DHC glitch out of Tron king servbot is AMAZING.
Videos of a great hulk mouth waters, get them videos mannn
I know I got some of his hill recorded - I’ll try to met up and get some more matches recorded in the near future because I’m not. Sure if I got his best hulk stuff recorded.
Something like this would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been using Hulk since launch and I like him a lot but I still have a lot of trouble being succesful with him against good players and certain characters. So yeah, please do this.
