The NGBC Thread Version 2.0-Team tournaments in NGBC from here on out!

dg - what you think of a team of mars people / big? Ive been waiting to play mars people in a serious fighting game (svc doesnt count even though i like it :stuck_out_tongue: )

any horrible matchups for mars people i should be aware of?

Marco gives Mars People a real hard time IIRC.

Big is perhaps Mars worst matchup. mars can’t jump at all against big.

What’s Akari’s worst matchup?

big.

What’s Kyo’s worst matchup? Or for that matter Robert/Mai/Hanzo?

Wait, wait. Let me guess…

…

BIG?

i dont know too much about how the play, against robert would probably be kim actually… mai BIG, hanzo… BIG. kyo??? not sure, probly big.

Big has the least worst matchups in the game guys…another reason he’s top tier…

God, I love Akari.
Seriously.
I. Fucking. Love. Akari.
I’m going to show the world how good she is if it’s the last fucking thing I do!

Did you find my Akari Primer? It should be in the Storm 3.5 thread link on the first page…

jeez i wanna play you guys all so bad i havent played anything in a while, oklahomas basically ded now, but maybe it can be rekindled this saturday or something, something is supposedly going to then, ill tell someone to bring NGBC and try to force them to play with me. :smiley: yeh and ill say " its okay, i swear i wont use tung :D" hahahah…

getting all the hits with Tung while he is in that blinking life bar mode does soooo much damage. I lol’d

looking foward to the casuals… thanks man…

also thanks dg for that kaede primier and the links for terry… now i must find human opponets (which i think is happening tommorow)

Sure guys now that I got everything working for my Geese Tower casuals maybe today I can record some matches as well…

Big doesn’t have a bad matchup.

I Second that!:tup:

Thirded.

I finally got a main team now that I actually like using. Robert/Mai.

Ish is too good.

So I’ll throw in a random tidbit with the two of them. First Robert:

With good timing and in the corner, you can juggle either two b ryuzanshous or one b ryuzanshou and Kuzuryusen (lvl 2). Usually you would see this off of a back + c, but you can also do this off of an air to air hit. More over, both b ryuzanshou and kuzuryusen can be connected off of a crouching d hit.

Being a lil Guile-esqe, you can combo off of a meaty punch version of ryu geki sen. I am not sure if it’s possible off of the kick version because it recovers a bit slower, but I will test for it today.

Learn to buffer your charges. The most obvious is the double fireballs on the screen. Also, learn to buffer a charge while running after a fireball. This way you can either ryuzanshou, or ryu geki sen if you run under them while they jump. I’m also liable to think that maybe you can charge partition as well in this game. I’m going to test it today to make sure though.

Mai:

It’s been said before. Use standing a and b a lot to annoy the hell out of people. I think they can be ab canceled into b&b’s.

Like said before, you just wanna land lvl 2’s. However, make sure you know all the situations to where you can land a lvl 2. This way, you will have more ways to score all this damage.

Some good b&b’s to add to your repertoire are cr. bx2 xx hcf k/kick super/DA. If blocked you can end it with either qcb k or p, or c fireball.

Jumping b can be canceled just like jumping down + a. Dive won’t combo, but jumping down + d and lvl 2 will.

Purify that Mai stuff is gdlk.

Anyway that’s some stuff. Soon as I’m done testing I’ll post more.

Yeah I remember in the beginning they said Marco and Hotaru can give Big a hard time…Marco if he zones and keeps Big out of range…and also like Alex said Asura can keep Big out of range…anyone that can zone Big can give him a hard time…

Yes…but does he have a BAD matchup?

No not really.

Ryo seems to be pretty nerfed. DO the in place spinning kicks have a guard break on them?

A-K-A-R-I!
Two will fight and one will die!
Gooooooooooooooooooooo AKARI~!
