Were you tucked super deep into the corner such that the mirror was completely off screen? I’ve seen that happen with both Morri and Lilith a few times. Or just seen the hits on LI/DI vary a bit here and there
I need to revive this game in my scene. Or find folks that play it. God how I miss my BC shenanigans.
Get on GGPO!
No, it was midscreen.
Lol, yea I was downloading GGPO as I was typing that. Gotta force other folks around me to play it though. Maybe bring some tournies out for it xP.
Although, GGPO is going to help my rusty-ness so I dont get put on blast too often. I almost had forgotten how used to RTSD with Talbain (although it’s probably an outdated strat).
I just had an intense learning session with Skankin Garbage.
Thanks so much for the learning session. I’ve got a long way to go but gotta start somewhere.
I’m a newbie at the game but I’ll be lurking in the GGPO lobby. Hit me up for a game anytime. I’m always up for a beating.
“bring back paula abdul”
That’s my tag. You can thank me.
this thread is over 6 years old.
i’m tempted to do a short write-up of from then until now
i’ve noticed that!
you made the first post and you’re still in this thread! thank you for keeping the information flowing for all those years.
I read this thread once a month. Still not finished… thanks all.
keiko’s posted links to the DCC(darkstalker combination cup) qual matches.
Playland F1R DCC qualifier ? ?? ~ Darkstalkers Data Base ~ ??
rough translation:
shimatuya had recorded the incredible qualifier footage on august 28-29
1st event was 1v1 (maybe a warmup tourney)
2nd event was 2v2
Stream going on right now, pretty sure Ego vs Chapa just ended
Aojiru and Kame chilling in the stream chat instead of coming out though :nono:
so I thought of a few tricks for pushblock on a stick. I have a trick for an alternate 5 finger push. Most people try pinky on RH, top 3 normal piano, thumb hits LK and that pinky part can be a bit tricky to sneak in with speed. What you can do alternatively is fp-mp-lp piano, thumb hits LK, RH hits pinky. Basically using your pinky last rather than first. I know its a bit awkward for some people to use pinky first so I hope this helps a bit.
Another 5 fingers push method is hitting lk first with your thumb, fp-mp-lp piano, pinky hits RH then. What this does first is throw a c.lk for a wiffed push block attempt so its safe. The first version is easier but a wiffed version will result in a s.fp. Also the 2nd method is a combo with some characters like wolf\lilith\morrigan.
My other trick is kinda awkward @ firs but it can be done hella fast. You piano with the top 3 buttons normally, fp-mp-lp, but then you hold all 3 down then drag your fingers to the right fast. Your 4th, 5th, 6th input will be a mp or a fp tech and you’ll never get a LP tech with this method.
the second way is wat is use for jab hands and stuff like that
EDIT: jab hands being more like lp, hp-mp-lp, hp with pinky
i normally have my hands setup as:
lk=thumb
lp=index
mp=middle
fp=ring
rk=pinky.
three things:
now, starting with fierce/rk are more natural, as is going in counterclockwise fashion, but the double edged sword is, if you mis-time, or they put a hole in their string that has that move come out, its more often than not, a fierce, or rk. I’ve been out of it, since my last computer format, so I havent tried anything different as of late >.>, edit: oo you pointed this out too… lol
second, knowing that lighter buttons push them a lesser distance, I find it best to do one CCwise pass and then, the last two inputs of how far I push them.
the game requires only three to six inputs for pushblocking to become a factor.
so, once you have three inputs, you’re only 50% of the way from the max needed inputs(anything more than 6 inputs is wasted mashing), AND each successive input has increased chance in activating pushblock.
you should be able to get 4 inputs for every jab/jumpin that you can predict. the inputs need to be that fast, yet defined enough from eachother for the game to register each input
I usually end up pushblocking a shit ton of different ways, but the way I have been getting it to come out consistently is just a seemingly awkward variation of the norm.
I piano hp-mp-lp, hit lk with my thumb, then slide my thumb to mk. That way my hand stays relatively static during pushblocking but I can still get up to 5 inputs and return to neutral quickly. Or if I fear throwing out a whiffed fierce, I will just do lk-hp-mp-lp-lk[~mk].
Other than that, I do what jblair does and input it like jab hands (slide lp-mp-hp-mp-hp)
Also, I’ll be looking for some Vampire MMs closer to SBR, who all is gonna be there besides Kajoq and shoultz?
MightyMar and Frankie (Masamune_date7) are both coming as well. I’m bringing my CPS2 board
Suprised to see all the different ways people are pushblocking. I personally gave up trying to pushblock on GGPO, seriously. But offline a repeated Hp-Mp-Lp works like butter. Who knows, my settings/windows 7/connection are probably messing shit up.
OMG it’s been forever since I have played this game.
i’m actually trying to get more into this game since I never played it seriously against others since like…2 weeks ago.
