The Stinging Hook: Steve Fox General Thread

Weaving A has 3 less frames of recovery and 2 more frames of invincibility.

yup, thats pretty much it, also weaving A can be cancelled into weaving B

wait…

kingheart? the same kingheart i know from smash, right?

yes hi

Well, this is unexpected. Millions and millions of people on the internet and i keep running into the same person XD

this is a newb question, but how do you combo after fwd.mp > lp?

SMASH PLAYERS?!?! IMPOSSIBLE.

lol.

I used to follow Gimpyfish when I played smash years ago

oh hi gimpy

What’s up guys. Besides training for the local tourney this week, I decided to update my ancient blog with some SFxT and other fighting game stuff. I’ll be writing little blurbs about characters, mostly aimed at beginners and intermediate players, to help them get a better grasp of the cast. I’m aiming to do two a week and, of course, I had to start with my 1/2 of my main squeezes, Steve.

Feel free to tell me what you think: http://mausandthemask.wordpress.com/cross-comics/run-down-3-27-12-steve-fox/

The easiest thing to go into is a cr.lp, You have to hold back after the f.mp>lp to go into flicker, and then crouch to cancel the flicker, You can make it easier by just hold down-back. go into training mode and learn the timing for it
After that though, There isn’t much you can do from a cr.lp other than a chain combo ending with either a launcher or cancelling the chain with an EX move (ex sonic fang being the poison of choice)

I know right? A lot of smashers who i know personally have sorta started their journey into real fighters with sfxt

Doing s.HP, s.HP x Flicker LP in the corner is easier and does the same damage and personally I think it looks cooler if you don’t know anything about Steve. I doubt most Steve players even know there were FCs between the cr.HPs.

Edit: Actually didn’t realize how easy c.HP x FC loop is lol. You do get a little more damage ending with a flicker though.

Yeah, ive taken to doing that, Not to mention LP flicker can be followed up by a teammate if they switch in

How small is the link after ducking hook xx FC, because doing cr.mp/hp after feels like a 1 frame link. What are people doing after Ducking Body and Ducking Hook for pressure. I tend to do Ducking Body,st.lp, cr.mp xx ducking… Ducking Hook on hit i just do cr.lp, cr.lp>cr.mp xx EX sonic Fang, but it’s so heavily scaled.

I would like to hit cr.hp after Ducking Hook consistently because it opens up so many more possibilities, but seriousely this is very annoying, can’t plink it because i’m afraid i’m going to waste a bar on EX Flicker when messing it up. Guess i’ll need to practice more.

Overall what are good pressure strings for Steve, maybe a thread purely dedicated for pressuring with steve would be an idea?
With Cody i could get rather creative for staying in, because he had lots of forward moving attacks. Saw Masarap(?) i think do cr.lp>cr.mp>st.hk to get back in, thought it was pretty nifty but risky as hell.

I don’t know if anybody knows this yet, but I just found out that Steve’s mk crosses up in the corner both on crouching and standing kazuya. Too lazy to test out on all the character’s in the game some one pls do the dirty work for me :slight_smile: lmao.

It is bit situational and not the easiest cross up to do but a cross up is still a cross up. Especially if people don’t know that steve has one.

edit: HK also crosses up in the corner but only on crouching Kazuya

Corner only cross ups it seems.

Hugo standing crossed by: lk, mk, mp.

Hugo crouching crossed by: all kicks and mp.

again, haven’t tested out any other characters…

Good find. I always thought that move looked like it had a cross up hitbox, but I could never pull it off. What’s the key to getting the cross up? Do have to hit the button early or late in your jump in?

I’ve figured out a glitch with steve fox’s gatling gun causing the opponent to stay grounded. I wonder if it could work with other characters moves like laws Fury fist rush.

I’m going to be making a video soon about the uses of gatling gun, like what is punishable with it and such.

Preferably early, like aiming to hit kazuya’s head or tricep. I don’t know if mk is a universal corner cross up however, cuz I believe it kept whiffing on a certain character…I think it was Vega.

C’mon people somebody help me out here lol lets get testing!! lol at the moment I can’t really cuz I’m studying for a test I’m going to take tomorrow.

This works with a lot of moves. People are doing it with Ryu’s EX Shoryuken (Shin Shoryuken).

yeah, I’ll get on to finding crossup stuff, I’ve got time tonight

ah so it does work with other moves, awesome.

Yeah, It’s crossing up in the corner, It’s got some very tight timing too :L

Oh how i wish it crossed up midscreen
