everybody thinks a groove sucks until some1 wins a tournament with it.
Instead of creating your own techniques and strats, We look 2 the top players 4 awnswers. Back in the days we had a word 4 that…
oh yeah, dickriding.
I play a good S on Xbox Live. S-Terry is good, S-Rock, and a bunch of other mentioned characters. It’s a fine groove. It has it’s strengths and weaknesses like other grooves do. Personally, I find S a speed/mindgame groove, as opposed to a K where it’s about the damage and JDing. Really, when you play S-hroove you want your opponent to think “Is he going to dodge this time? Or Counter it? Should I anticipate a dodge and throw him?” You have to keep him guessing, so that you can just find the sweet spot and take it. No, you don’t do loads of damage, and cancel 16 specials into a super. I think that to play S effectivly you have to really think. You have to get into his mind and eat it out form the inside, rendering him weak and useless.
Some devastating S character (IMO) are M. Bison, Morrigan, Rock, Iori, fireball scrubs etc.
Plus when M. Bison dodges, charges up ya fucked. S Groove Bison rules. I kinda favor him over A Groove bison. Morrigan is good, throw a super fireball(s), if tehy jump it Cardinal Blade, the whole scrub thing, unless they dodge or roll.
Plus some people have good S-Groove combos.
I remeber do that super kick with Kim that juggles them, then using a Lv1 super (forgot which 1 it was)
Or a lv3 One For The Road Blast, charge, Lv3 Maiden Masher weith Iori, not completley useful btu the fact u can use 2 level 3 supers is cool if ya ask me.
S groove does give u an chance agsinst A groove because u can infinately dodge when they activate. also dodge attacks have enough priority(or speed, whatever)2 knock them out of thier activation or at least trade(which is still good).
i gave s groove a shot today on live, its kinda fun cause you end up with more tricks with charging and dodging. far from doing much dmg with it though still it seems like a very underestimated groove worthy of playing with.
S-groove Duck knock-out punch was good. I think that all, his charging meter really sucks. I played S-groove few times, Even I used Sagat Cammy and Athena I can’t win.
LOL, I still have that interview with you saying you would beat Josh with a random Ratio 1 P groove character at that one tourny. But I don’t think you ever did. :tdown:
if u suck with it just dont use it. Why do u have to tell the world that u suck with S groove. if u look REALLY carefully ther are 5 other grooves that u may suck with
P.S y dont u juss go play MVC2 where u can do 4509854 hit combos
its just his opinion wassabbi so dont take it too personally.
Buy hey just cause he sucks with s groove doesnt mean the groove it self sucks, sounds like he follows the blanka/sagat/bison trend. Then again thats just my opinion as well.
But wassabbi, in response to your MVC2 comment… :lol:
