Thank goodness Triad came in here to save the day!!! I’m gonna archive this shit like crazy because someone is bound to ask again!!!
Kim can be predictable but he has a lot of shit you can’t do anything about even if you know it’s coming (close D shenanigans, for example). Scary character.
I was looking through youtube ngbc matches and ran into this guy’s videos.

These are apparently videos of high level Japanese play around the peak of the game’s lifespan with a lot of various characters, like Asura, Akari, and other people you don’t see often, and the play is pretty aggressive overall. It’s really neat to watch.
So is there any non-mainstream fighting game where ninety percent of players don’t get torn apart by you, Stone?
I’m only average at most of the games I play, I just like how fighting game engines work in general so I play a lot more than the average person.
Man, I really wish I had more comp for this game, but a lot of the players who say they play this game turn out to be fanboys of fighting games instead of actual serious competitors.
Keep playing me. I too wish to practice against someone who I can beat simply by punishing his whiffed DPs, of which there are hundreds.
The truth… Stone come with me to Mexico…the people that claim to play these games ACTUALLY DO. No fanboys…just players…
I want to be your disciple, Dark Geese. Show me the way of Athena.
#1- Watch everyy match vid you get your hands on of my Athena…go to the At the Eye of the Ragin Storm Vid Thread…watch all those vids…try to understand why I am doing what I do…
Also let me give you some more stuff about her-
After a Deadly Assault you have options:
Heal Plant, Gauge Plant, or Bomb Plant…
Only use the Bomb Plant if some how someway they can punish you by running in…then they will blow up!! Remember they all look the same!
My new low hitconfirm combos-
1.cr.bxxBRC cr.aXDA.
2. Down+C xxDA.
Do you know her fire tornado tricks also?
If you do the Wind Super and do another qcfx2 C, you will launch a full screen tornado…if you do it off the Fire Super…it will only last a little while and you can run with it…
So the only use for the Wind Super is to launch the full screen tornado.
Athena is C Class at best right now until I find something else.
Experiment with her Fly stuff…that is BD in the air… Press P to dive punch down…and B to throw them…D to unfly…
Experiment with those…you can fly with the fire too… Sentinel anyone?
Yeah it gets better…
I use Fire Storm to assist in my pressure strings from time to time, but only if my meter is full. Also, what’s a BRC? I usually use cr.CxxDA as my Deadly Assault combo.
BRC is what I call Blue Rush Cancel…the Roman Cancel of NGBC…costs meter just like the other ones too.
Its done via A+B (Roll) in the middle of an attack normal…some normals do BRC…some DONT.
To be honest, I think I’ll just stick with cr.C to Deadly Assault.
Also, her D fins are the best anti-air for her, right?
Yeah D Fins and B Reflect…Reflect is anti crossup and safer…
Good shit!
I’m excited as fuck about Final Round XI. I’ll be there, AND in costume.
So you will be at FRXI then? Excellent…that means you got about 2 months to soak in all this before its time…
Yep. Look for the person who’s cosplaying Velma from Scooby-Doo. I hate that show, but I LOVE Velma.
LOL. Will do. Will you be anywhere near Stone?
In terms of skill, probably not, but I hope to remedy that at FRXI. It’s my first regional tournament, you see, and a very good GG player told me once that your career as a player has only officially begun after you have 'popped your tourney cherry.'
In terms of location, I doubt that I will be traveling with him. He has monies for a plane, and I, sadly, do not. I’ll be hopping the Greyhound Bus. It’s actually not that bad of a ride. Six hours, maybe a little more. I can do that shit in my sleep.
As for a hotel, I really don’t know. My father’s in the business, though. I bet I can ask him for a bit of help.
I got a few Kyo questions:
- fwd+B. Cannot be special-cancelled if NOT comboed into???
This messes with my mixup game… - df+D. Isn’t cancellable by ANYTHING? No specials/DMs? Not even on 1st hit?
- HCB+D has some kind of 1-hit autoguard on it, but becuase of it’s weird startup I don’t use it. Is there any reason I should, looking for vs [insert character].
Is there a K’ primer around here or do I just take it that he’s a powered down version of his KOF XI version?
If not then I’ll help you get a place to stay.
- In the corner yes…but only in the corner…and off close st.b you can combo into f+b into one part of a rekka etc.
2.No…this is Nests KYO…not NeoWave or KOFXI Kyo. - Not really…save it for combos…
K’s a like 5x weaker version of his KOFXI version…
