I need advice.
I want to use Akari, I really do, but it seems like there are so many better choices, like Hanzo or Haohmaru…or Big.
Should I stick with Akari or no, you guys?
So I like Shermie a lot and was messing around with her today, and since I couldn’t find any other posts on her, here are the glaringly obvious things I found.
st.b is awesome awesome awesome afaik. Confirm it into supers or tick into dash grab (sometimes). st.b to f.b is even more braindead confirmable and I think safe on block, not sure really.
The dp kick after grab super seems weird with the timing, idk. Can’t get it very often, maybe I suck. HCF+P grab seems the same as it’s always been. Whiffs after st.b I think. The trap move she stole from Yashiro, I’m not sure about this. Granted there’s some potential for delaying into regular hcf+p grab instead of followup if it even hits.
Uhhhhh
Back to playing I guess. KING LION seems to have jump c crossup hijinks similar to Hugo’s bodysplash. Rock has some wack ass corner combos.
[jump c/d w/e] st.c xx qcb+a XX qcfqcf+C qcb+a x2 to either SC lv 1 Raging storm or rising tackle. I’ll do rising usually for some meter back and the lv 1 RS doesn’t do a whole hell of a lot of damage. This combo doesn’t seem too unpractical, good luck hitting the j.c or st.c whatever. D to f.d overhead to kick super seems decently confirmable.
This whole post might all be wrong what do I know ughghghgh
Shermie’s standing B is only awesome until you go up against Kim or Big who outprioritize it across the board. Crouching B is safer, but still hit-confirmable into :r:+:snkb: xx anything. Standing B is good used with GCFS though.
The trick with the follow-up to the grab super is that you have to do the :dp: motion in the same direction as the :hcf:x2, even though you end up on the opposite side. Input window is somewhat strict, too.
Her Chris/O.Yashiro :dp:+P move is basically meant to set-up her grab super from a distance. Too slow and impractical to connect unless your opponent is turtling in the corner (unlikely against Shermie) or throwing out projectiles with lots of recovery.
I don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet, but Geese has some dumbass shit he can do in the corners with his qcf+c. Not probable to land, but still dumb. One hit st.d xx qcf+c st.c xx qcf+c that you can link into sweep or DA or far c to brc to whatever or even deadly rave. So stupid. There’s probably more too.
Something I found with Robert today while playing casuals.
cr. a xx back + a xx air qcb k.
I did this cause dude kept gcfs’n the hop kick. I don’t really know if or how safe it is for real, but at least it kept him from gcfs’n hop kick every time. I want to say that the hitbox of the air qcb d starts when the invincibility ends. I’ll test it later.
I do know that if the back + a xx air qcb k combos near the corner, you can b flashkick after you land.
But yeah, just another random thing. It maybe useful or useless, but it is possible so.
I’m pretty sure all they would have to do in that case is wait until you do the air QCB+K and then GC or otherwise punish you. I’ll test it out later.
In general, cancelling into back+A from cr.A is ok for keeping on pressure but is really not that effective in the long run. Cancelling into the move removes the overhead property and as noted, it’s unsafe to GCFS and Tactical Step. Just poke repeatedly with cr.A, it has ridiculous priority.
I tested it last night actually in some casuals. They can wait and block the air qcb k and gcfs for punishment. The guy I was playing with didn’t try tactical stepping it so I’m not too sure about that yet.
I guess it’s good for a surprise I guess if for some reason that hits.
How good is far standing D with robert? I use it a bit, spaced right of course. But I wonder how good is it though? And, meaty punch boom on wakeup/tag in: Is this pretty decent to use sometimes?
Hi guys…I’m considering getting NGBC…I read your links. I just need your opinion. I love KOF, so I know I’ll love the cast, but does that mean I’ll like the game? What’s everyone’s opinion on the game?
BUY THE GAME! Your life is incomplete without it! No I am not joking. I have KOF and NGBC and would never want one without the other. SNK for life!:lovin: I stopped playing Capcom games cuz of this goodness.
