The Raging Bull of Destruction - Shadow Labrys Thread

Is that anywhere near viable? >.>

Well yes, as long as anyone supers you during Titanomachia and she doesn’t get hit(she can block the super and the glitch still becomes active), it’s quite viable. In fact, I’ve had many situations where people did do that, I just didn’t know that Asterios got glitched from it so I never capitalized. The glitch is quite abusable, since you can practically rapidfire lasers and he can’t even be hit out of the move.

HERP DERP METEORS = dead?

If SLab can survive the mixup during meteors such that she never get hit, then she can get away and then apply the glitch. If SLab gets hit while the glitch is active, glitch is gone.

I’m a pretty active S.lab, it just kind of sucks no one wants to post here.

There is this guide from MM that’s really boss concerning what characters have what to pester S.lab.

I especially like the notes on the mirror match.

Scumbag tactics are the best tactics.

Why play fair when I can win?

I don’t like long combo characters, but I like giving the opponent the feeling of “what the fuck do I even do” when I play.

I’ve been having trouble with getting buffalo hammer to hit before G.Axe in the hard to blockstring.

G.Axe THEN B.Hammer is cake.

Any timing tips?

What string are you trying and from what situation?

Just part of my blockstring against everyone except Mitsuru because fuck Mitsuru.

I’ll be a bro and ask upload it again, I don’t think Nihl will mind.

Thanks. I’ll try to copy it once its up. I’ll be playing in a tournament next week and could use the help.

I don’t know, I felt some of the things mentioned were more general concepts of what to do against a character rather than SLab specific ones…though I didn’t read it all.

I’m getting better at all the match-ups except Yu. Beating this guy is a total mystery to me. He persona breaks me very easily and often.

Yes, I agree…I fought some Yu player for like 200 matches in the last couple of days and the matchup is a pain. I’d say the main problem is 5B because it outranges all of your best pokes, including your own 5B. His 2B easily shuts down any jumps and IADs, though you can bait him to do it by jumping in and then double jumping. His pressure is also really hard to get out of…sure, you can R-action or guard cancel but a good Yu will cancel his normals into R-action if he sees it.

You can react to his qcb+A and R-action only when you see that, but if he has meter, he can make that safe too…overall I think this matchup is pretty stacked in Yu’s favor, the only thing going for SLab is that she has many vortex setups where Yu’s R-action will whiff.

And btw, updated my “guide” with more information for combos, setups, matchup info and some more videos (though they aren’t recent). I’ve been working on getting down RELIABLE 75-100SP combos that use Titanomachia, but the thing is that they just don’t seem to hit like I see them hit in the combovideos, and I don’t see many players actually using these combos in matches.

Also does anyone have any recent footage of good SLab players from Japan? I need something recent because the old videos are lacking in technology.

This is probably the most recent big tournament from japan, you may have see some of the footage already: [media=youtube]5gimqq-wXBc[/media]

Around 13:39 in that link, the S Labrys player hits 5C, followed by an R-action. The chie player try to cross him up on the whif, but the 5c has a hit box behind Shabrys and it ends up connecting. Kind of neat.

Hey people…how many are still playing Shadow Labrys? I haven’t given up on her, but really want some other people to post their tech.

I still play Shadow Labrys.

Slabrys is my secondary character now. Hopefully some good footage comes out of NEC.

Does anyone have any resources for completing the Shadow Labrys challenges? I’m struggling with challenge 28. I’m not inputting flame of hades soon enough or something because it keeps hitting after Guillotine Axe B input. Everything connects, just in not in their desired order. I’m wondering if there’s some sort of trick to it.
