Oh really? I didn’t think Ammy Cold Star came out fast enough to combo off throws, neat to know since Ammy will be my end game anchor once I can legitimately play her. I have to agree, after running about a million different combinations in the lab, mixed with results from tourneys and observations, If you run Doom on ANY team, you are ultimately going to be gimping yourself if you don’t run Ammy, they both bring far too much to a team when you put them together and let their synergy rock.
The only thing I don’t like is that Doom>Ammy THC is pretty piss damage and its hard to get a combo into Sphere Flame, also its hard to use an Ammy extender for real damage on Zero. The THC shit though, its practically a free win considering how much meter Zero builds. You practically get 2-3 free 700k damage combos on almost whiffed button press, more if you want to burn extra meter or X-Factor.
Ammy is only ARF ARF ARF if you make it that way, she requires a lot of work and is an interesting character if you put in the time, but of course no one will wen they’re satifisfied with H spam
yeah I my bad, it was actually the version of SS that makes them appear on your head, he can cross you up with teleports as they are falling down. But what regular SS actually does, is to prevent him from being rushed by other anchors, so if they are activated you can kinda whiff normals without much fear unless you’re facing a char with a beam super or so. But yeah, XF+ DT is pretty silly, he gets free rapid slash and helmet breaker followups into death, and even without X-factor, if he has 4 bars you better pray to not get hit.
EDIT: but he does have a crossup setup with SS:
SS then H teleport and j.S, kinda silly but its there.
Maybe I’ve fried my brain from too much cramming but isn’t that virtually the same as just going for down+TAC anyway, it’s not gonna increase your chances of landing it (assuming the opponent isn’t trying to guess where to counter and instead spinning the stick + S). There’s sound logic in why it works against Phoenix but FOR Phoenix? I’m not so sure, but enlighten me anyway, I am knackered after all.
I mean if you’re against a Phoenix team, chances are you’re going to be mashing on down exchange for the counter, because no one wants to give a Phoenix team a free meter ( this changes when facing X/Doom/Phoenix though, since any direction can net a potential 3-4 meter gain ). Technically TACing should always be in the aggressors favor.
But anyway theres really no reason to guess up against a Phoenix team, there is just no ± to that, so if your opponent doesn’t know about this tech, going Buster cancel+TAC up xx Air Dash TAC down will practically guarantee you the meter. I don’t know how often people just spin the stick and hope to random it out, especially vs Phoenix, but I always try to recognize patterns and analyze their best option and it usually works out.
Also this give the phoenix team w/ those characters options. They can go for the tech and in a tourney setting more likely than not unless you personally play the person you won’t be thinking about that certain tech. And they can go for it. Now lets say 2nd round you’ve seen it they can mix it up and just go down instead of doing the TAC trick which is more mindgames. Honestly w/ this tech I don’t see why Zero/Morrigan/Chun-Li/Spider_/phoenix teams should be making top 8 in tourneys just w/ this additional arsenal up their sleeve. This also means that they can afford to spend 1 bar of meter or so for a problem character or snap in someone like strider/vergil just to take them out and potentially gain that meter back.
Btw Someone should make a video slowing down the game with all the BS zero can do. Like 2 zeros do Hadengeki, Sougenmu Hadengeki X factor Haden xx level 3. SO MANY PROJECTILE?
Couple games of my brother and I playing. I’m playing Love Triangle and he’s playing Evil Toaster’s team. We didn’t drop our main teams, just playing around. He won the set 15 - 14.
I saw tapebot do this tech for zero and spencer DHC and tried to work out if it’s more effective or not. Basically whiff the bionic arm and then for for the vertical grapple. it works but to do more damage than the bionic arm, u need at least 2 grapples.
also the DHC glitch lightning loop which people on the forum might already be aware of
