Need help with Raoh

Need some help with raoh but first here is the video link: [media=youtube]01JVuKiWpz0[/media] pay attention from 0.25 how can i perform properly this qcb+HK behind the opponents back after the boost? Is there a way? I tried it but with no succes. Or do i have to figure this out after countles tries?
Any way thanx in advance.

  1. SS5 did make quite a bit money when my samsho groupies used to put twenty dollar bills into the cabinet everytime we go there:wink:

  2. Somehow everytime I go there during the weekdays there will be a few peeps playing on that machine. Then I go out for lunch then come back and they are still there playing TTT:sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

About HnK is broken, WHO CARES? Which game is not broken by Street Fighter 2’s standard? Throw escape? Broken! Ring out? Broken! Burst? Broken! Homing Cancel? Broken! Twenty + hit combo? Broken! OTG throw? Broken! Loop? Broken! Air dash? Broken! Double jump? Broken! Guard Cancel? Broken! Parry? Broken! Counter? Broken! FKO? Broken! Basically every other game is broken if you use SF2 as your standard. Samething goes for judging HnK by using other fighting games as the standard. Bleep it bro, who give it a damn. Just play the game already. Most ppl saying the game is broken they simply have no idea how fighting game works…

On the other hand, HnK is unbalanced that’s the fact. It’s not like Toki/Rei are going to be worse than Mamiya/Jagi even the low tiers have 2000% combos. But hey, HnK is new what do you expect? At least ppl are having fun with game and still enjoy it post SBO that’s good enough, right? And more crazy stuff keep pumping out every month after a year isn’t that entertaining? Plus… IT’S HOKUTO NO KEN!!! You can either enjoy it like a man or runaway bitching the game being broken like a sissy:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Talking about 40 second kill, Dan, hyakuretsu is banned isn’t it? The only combo can last for a long time usually comes from RAAAAAAAAoh. But it’s bleeping difficult to pull out. Even G.X/Msin messed up their combo a lot in their match videos. So more often it’s like “Oops! 4 second no kill!”:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Question: Is Mamiya runaway a good idea?

OMG, I’m SO going to kill your Shin next time, Tian. NO MORE FREEBIES.

Everyone loves that song lmao.:lol:

Shin is a fucking star whore.

did anyone notice anything about the refill boost w/ one bar?

i was training and noticed when you only have one bar that you can combo in c+d and use auto boost to refill.

here’s a good kenshiro refill boost combo - (hits crouching so it’s nice)

2b 2b 5d e 236c e c+d >>> auto boost into 3rd star of choice or IK.

this is probably old material… if so yay.

you read this and wasted your time.

You get a free stock of boost off C+D if you don’t have any boost available and it must be used immediately, nothing new.

Nother Random question: How does Jump-Canceling work in this game? Just like in 3s?

No, like GG.

Hows that work?

Some characters have jump cancellable moves, others don’t.

The only move that resembles any kind of Capcom-type jump canceling is the A+C launcher(grave shoot), where you can do a homing jump only after a successful hit.

Haha, ggs. Got a Hokuto Zankaiken on you, that was gold. And how many Ganzenryozanha I did? I think I did that warp move 7 times in a row against your endless crouching jabs:D Seriously I found Kenshiro really fun for causal matches. Excuse my bitchy Mamiya, she is still lame in my hand:( Don’t expect me getting better with her anytime soon. All I know is to make her bike flying in the air:sweat: Next I will use causal style Toki and Juda. There are many dumb things you can do with them:looney:

To beat my Shin with your Raoh, you’d better read this first. Hopefully it helps.

See you in Evo East, Shotokan Symphony!

thank you to those who came down all the way from philli and NY to play gamez
HNK Results (14 People)

  1. Mr. Mamation (Jagi, Rei)
  2. Tiamat (Shin)
  3. BBHood (Ken)
  4. Michel (Roah)
  5. ECKrain (Shin)
  6. BChan (Juda, Roah)

There where many a Shin and Roah, three Jagis’ (wtf?) and only one Toki
My Jagi is top teir

On another note Shins 6A is really anoying, i can not see if coming at all. I would just block high at the end of the block string but sometimes it is done early and sometimes he does 6B which i cant really see. The only thing i can think of is to stop him before it happens. Also, as you may already know when Shin continues pressure with 236D, JB Rei can 5A, 5C, into air combo.

After lots and lots of casuals against Mr. Boost, the best thing to beat Shin’s overhead game is not by seeing them, but by HEARING them. Shin yells differently, depending on which overhead he is going to use. Try to learn the voice samples, it will be very useful. And when you can’t hear a thing (probably because Shin is already saying something else), my strategy is to keep crouching and wait for the 6A overhead. When you get used to it, it’s rather okay to counter it : a fast move (2A/2B) will easily interrupt it and opens a combo in most cases.

But, again, there are several ways to avoid it.

anybody here ever been to web2zone its a place in ny 4 games.

gee i wonder

i want to play mbac and 3s.

Boost Behind thing. It’s an effect you can get by using the ‘Boost during hitpause’ trick … what happens is that you boost while in the hitpause of a CD attack, and you move behind them before they start to fly towards the wall. To do this, you have to manually hit the boost button, you can’t auto-boost.

For Raoh, you can’t manually boost if the Spike effect is still in place, so you have to land enough 2A’s first. I believe you need to do 2A*10 2B C CD E to get it.

Besides that, when you hit the wall, you automatically stop boosting and return to neutral, so you can just TK a spike to make the combo work.

Good luck though, while each piece isn’t that hard, getting it all to work together is pretty challenging. Once you have the combo down, you are ready to rape with Raoh.
