Can someone tell me why there are still 1-frame links in SFV? I thought they were all gone.

What is Cisco?

Didn’t he write a song about arse floss back in 2001?

1f links are gone in the sense that with the input buffer you have 3f to do them.

the very concept of a 1f link is hard to remove unless you balance all frame data around avoiding them, but the buffer ignores that.

There are still some true 1f that require microwalks however.

Thank you both too

I missed the old forums, when we moved to Vanilla. I’ll miss the Vanilla, once we migrate over to Discourse. I seriously hope it won’t suck, but above all…it’s fuckin’ great to still be with ya all~

You know, now we need to make the lurkers, that popped up on Discord, finally show up here and join us in the talks. The numbers were insane.

Still can’t believe we made the SRK owners change their mind. It’s almost as if…

[details=Spoiler]…I’m dreaaaaamin’~

Chun-Li’s BNB (c.LP, s.MP, c.MK xx MK SBK) has some 1F links as well.

In order to get enough charge for the SBK, you have to do the s.MP the very first frame the buffer allows you to (so 3F early) and then you have to start the charge the very next frame. Also you have to release the charge on the very last frame of the c.MK cancel window.

Now, there may be 1F of leniency somewhere in there, but I don’t think there is.

Any Chun players know if this will be altered in anyway for AE? Did c.LP get more push-back?

yeah charge makes some stuff like that pretty rough, urien has some stuff tighter than 3f with some of his headbutt stuff too.

Darc and Volt deserve a lot more credit than I do. I have been working 14 hour days after the news broke and barely had time to do much of anything other than post here periodically in the various ā€œI’m creating a successor boardā€ threads to try and coordinate our efforts.

None of that is a 1 frame link (thanks to the input buffer Ves mentioned)

And there’s quite a lenient cancel and charge window to get the cr.mk xx MK SBK part of that to work

It’s not as hard as people make it out to be

W-well, I’m still utter trash at it! So you’re, like, totally wrong! Hmpf!

cries in a corner, somewhere

I need to up my corner game at least ten fold with 'Gief. I guess I will dedicate the whole weekend to practise that online.
Either I learn how to get out of there or how to play while there.

I have really bad execution

So if I’m able to do something

It’s not that hard

An easy metric to go by

I’m not going to deny that you know more about this game than I do, so I’ll take your word for it, but lenient cancel and charge windows is not how I would put it. It may be 2F. AFAIK, the combo is impossible without utilizing the input buffer.

Isn’t it better to try and practice how to NOT get cornered? Corner is deadly, no matter the character or circumstance.

I play Zangief. He is effing slow and walking back to give me space to think is something I do often.
Ending up in the corner is a thing that will happen all the time.

with the size of the stages and the corner carry of some chars its kinda hard to not end once there per match.

.

That’s definitely the right ā€œplan Aā€.

In this game though you can end up in the corner really quickly depending on who you’re fighting so I think there is value in developing more mental toughness/situational awareness as to what you can/should do in the corner and when you should do it. Plan for the worst, hope for the best sort of thing.

The downside is that practicing that against randos feels impossible. The drills KingCrimson and I have been running do seem to work pretty well for it though so if you ever want to give those a shot Bea just say the word.

Exactly. I’m not dissing the importance of having enough patience not to fall for shimmy, throws and frametraps in the corner, but it’s equally important to get rid of that habit as well. Gotta be a menacing wall, scary to approach.

Oh absolutely! I feel that perhaps I could’ve said it a little better in the first post. But without a doubt, both is needed.

Sure thing. I think we can get some stuff going tonight or this weekend.
I will pretty much spend the weekend walking myself into the corner in lounges and casual matches during the weekend when you guys aren’t around anyway. I need to force me to learn 'Gief’s tools to deal with being cornered.

Well… Just in order to celebrate the good new of our survival… Booty!!!

Now… 2018. Keep up with Zeku or back to Alex?
