The Official RUMBLE FISH Strategy Thread!

[Leebee_Link]

I’ll make one for you in a little bit.

Wow… Thank you very much.

Gotcha, that’ll help me out a great deal. Better to do her DA then to IB I suppose, that way it’s guaranteed damage.

I’d agree with this statement, but only partly. It’s better to use IB in most situations, because DA’s cost 2 levels of Defensive Gauge, and they often do very little damage. Kaya’s DA is good because you can interrupt combos, but if you’re just trying to get out of a block string or pressure, go with the IB.

As for Kaya’s super, I know that there are overheads, at least in the first game they were. Also for all the Kaya players, I can’t confirm this, but you can try cancelling into Kaya’s aerial slash move to end an air combo for extra damage. It might be too slow, but try it anyways.

where do i get sheryl vids?

www.rumblefish2.com has one Sheryl match. You can also go to romancancel.com for some of j1n’s Sheryl and SkuldnoShinpu’s Kaya. They only have vids from the first game, however.

It’s good to see some discussion in this topic again. Long live The Rumble Fish!! :pleased:

Greed is annoying as hell man. He’s obviously the Sagat / Sentinel of the game. POO ON YOU GREED.

HEY MASTER CLOWN, I GOT TWO MOTHER FUCKER WORDS FOR YOU
AND EVERY OTHER GREED HATER OUT THERE.

MAN UP.

you kaya scrub. I bet you just use j.HP all day long and get Parried into 90%

Greed is Sol Badguy, and as long as he has dust loop in TRF2, I am all gravy and will remain champion of the world in RF2 as i did in RF1.

*what is greed dust loop?

I call it dust loop, but its basically greeds corner / midscreen loop.

in RF1, Greed was able to do -> Any launcher-> j.LP,j.SP,j.LK,j.SK and land, jump or relaunch -> j.LP,j.SP,j.LK,j.SK loop. It required fairy good timing, and left the opponent in a untechable state. If this loop landed twice it usually mean the end of the game.

If someone can confirm that Greed’s Loop is still in RF2… please tell me.

Also, is Greed’s Meterless parry in RF2?

Can someone go test if my Sheryl Unblockable still works?

Is Greed’s QCF.SP Fireball still insanely good?

Arcadia reveals secret of Greed Turning Super Sayin mode:

If greed is hit 30 x n (where n is the number of rounds needed to win) he will turn super sayin mode. (catches on fire, hair yellow etc. etc.)

Seriously though, Its great to see people intrested in this game, I thought it had died out with the news of GG XX Slash.

I still play from time to time, I would love to compete in the game again.

Its good to see you playing it Master chibi (wow i didnt call you M.clown, rejoice!). Stick wit Kaya, She is top tier.

Heres tiers IMO for RF2.

kaya, mito, aran (wow didnt change much cept for mito lol)

greed, hazama (trust me hes good), sheryl

boyd, beatrice, zen

top: orville, lud, bazoo
everyone else
bottom: viren as always.

Funny how you can make tiers without even playing the game.:rolleyes:

[Dr.Stormlocke]

Damn you Rumble Fish. The worst part is I bought the import, and it’s sitting here mocking me because my PS2 and my Mas Stick are broken.

I guess it’s an incentive to earn money and remedy the situation though. Gotta get back to training with Sheryl. :tup:

[Master_Chibi]

I just had alot of trouble with Nick’s Greed last Saturday, he just controlled the screen far better than I could with Kaya. Great length on his normals (ground and air), constant pressure, fast and mobile, it was just hard to deal with, even with her god send of a cross-over (which I discovered five minutes after I started playing, PSHAW), though I can tell she’s quite a combo happy character. Combos off her command grab, supers off of any standing normal I believe, pretty damn solid from what I can tell.

I need to figure out a good air normal that isn’t cross up related, something to constantly beat them out in the air with, in case I can’t find a good enough anti-air normal.

Question…

Can the loop be cancelled into super into a relaunch into a loop repeat so that you can build meter while still maintaining the loop and do more damage?

And yes, Greed is very very good.

jin holds back sarcastic comment

what by what ive seen in videos, read on each character, and played from the first game, tiers to me would generally stay the same.

I haven’t played GGXX Slash, but I can already tell you Eddie is still going to be #1 or at least still very good.

when I had never played #Reload, and America was still into XX, I conceptually still was able to view Eddie as #1. (even though in XX slayer was actually #1 thanks to bitey mc bite, and eddie #2)

Its not “funny” how someone can make tiers without playing the game, its basic knowledge of the actual characters.

Its true the system from RF1 to 2 changed heavily unlike XX->#R, which im sure everyone should know by now.

I would think I know at least something about the game.

sadpandacrytearsniffle*frown

I never really found a use for his super in RF1 outside of basic string->claws->super cancel

unless he’s gained a way to use supers during juggles.

sometimes you can mix it up by letting them tech, and hitting them with ground move. (NO FD IN JUMBLE FISH D:)

[j1n]

and one more post of spam
(wheres my nigga spoink at? no.2 best RF player in the world! show everyone your aran skillz)

This is the Sheryl Unblockable I am talking about from Rumble Fish 1
http://www.romancancel.com/download.php?view.32 (register)

If someone can confirm its still unblockable in RF2 that would be cool

I assume it’s still in, since Sheryl wasn’t an actual character in RF1, but a console release only, however she gained a few new things in RF2. (such as bomb placement on target)

Ive posted this before but what the hey:
The general way that it is set up is you set the bomb just behind sheryl so the crosshair is on her shoulder. When she fires “schnieden” she should point behind her, and even if your opponent is blocking he/she should get hit and launched.

I realize this is an obscure hard to do setup, i usually just use it on a knockdown and set it up. But you end up getting a good amount of damage, and a free knockdown from aircombo (like millia)

oh well, its cool to see other people playing this game now yay

i see no vids of her on rumblefish2.com. and i want vids from the second game.

Shrug. Everyone has their opinion, as they say, as your listing was only IYO. I just think you’re severely underrating Bazoo and especially Viren. I don’t think they’re all that bad. I’ve seen decent vids and players of each. Bazoo’s definitely near the top, and Vi’s no way the last that I can see.

I’m not much of a shit talker, so if it’s a pissing contest you’re looking for with me, you’re going to be sadly dissapointed.

awww no rivalry smack talk poop.

haha <3

I think Bazoo is only mid. In the beta I felt Viren was over-imporved, but it seems they re-toned him down.

its just my opinion :o

[j1n]

i see no vids of her on rumblefish2.com. and i want vids from the second game.

i only have uchiyama(mito) vs z-x(sheryl) for sheryl in RF2.

if u missed that one, hit me on aim anytime ill send it.

though honestly she plays almost the same from RF1 console to RF2, besides the new place bomb on your target.

i seriously never played this game i just happened to randomly pick her off the character list and decided i would play as her first (whenever i do get to go to CTF).

New vids up on Ko-Hatsu (I’m posting at work so I can’t watch them, alas).

Aran / Aran
Kaya / Boyd
Kaya / Aran

I’m seeing a pattern here…where’s the love for Lud, Typhon and Orville?!

Seriously. I love Lud. He’s awesome. I have a thing for obnoxious loudmouths in my fighting games. Hence my love for Dong Hwan. <3

But, I love Aran too, so I can’t complain much.

Edit: When Aran does that upwards kick in his combo, just before going into the qcb+p hits, is that him canceling his dp+k move or is it a close SK hit?

It’s probably a close SK hit. They (dp + k and close SK) have the same animation, and the SK is cancellable on either hit, so that’s my guess.

[Master_Chibi]

Anybody have concrete air combos for Kaya (off of a Jolt)?

Also, can anyone hook me up with some Beatrice vids, if they’re any at all?

The one on RF2 ain’t working.

:\

[j1n]

page 9 dummy http://www.globetown.net/~may_upper/trf_down.htm 1 beatrice vid. unless youve seen that already

[Master_Chibi]

That’s the one whose link doesn’t work.
