What about some useful combos for rikuo? And whats the trick to getting combos off a lp lk mp chain?
aubath’s only bitchy thing linking off of his dashing mp.
for one meter, you can do:
AA sonic wave, HOD/waterjail, uppercut.
its nice in that it needs at most 1 lvl(which isnt hard to get), doing the waterjail on almost reaction is something that needs to be learned in habit, and getting his dp to hit also requires some timing.
his main deal though is setting up for a knockdown into a bubble loop.
hey bursine ive been downloading matches, and why havent i seen in over a year anyone use gallon. is my boy really that useless?
I’ve currently started to play Vs2 and was wondering should I keep playing it or switch to Vs1??? and another thing, what is the most played vampire game out there?? Thx…
GOT, I think the VS footage out is generally in waves. hes definitly used. i remember buktooth saying he was a debatable top at one point… I think the kuridashi(sp) or botsu VS batches had gallon in them. I remember dling them this past spring(2k5)
magnetgenocide, in the end, it comes down to personal preference. I feel like everyone with an emulator has dled vs2 before vs for some reason or another. the japs have made VS the standard(as far as that series goes). and in the US, if you find a vampire arcade cab, its more than likely gunna be VS. again, no one forces you to switch, and whatnotwhatnot… you get the idea. lol. the VS game engine is much more friendlier than VS2 imo.
gallon is s-class (top tier), along with sasquatch, qbee and zabel
he’s actually the most widely hated character in the darkstalker series. i guess he’s considered scrubby or something?
gallon and not bishmon?
i’ve heard gallon, bish, and bb all being debatable top tier.
zabel, sas, and qbee seem to be the only consistent ones that I hear. lately, I’ve really been enjoying victor.
he controls space insanely well, and all his limbs have additionally high priority when electrocuted. and of course, ass super setup …too much fun
Aubath is nasty D:
I’ve beaten gb multiple times with him even though he’s a much much better player than me.
I can get owned the entire round, but all I need is one knock down in the corner.
Corner + Bubble Trap = Full Bar.
Been trying to actually learn the game system the last week or so though, so hopefuly I won’t be so borderline scrubby next time.
Probably his speed mixed with how easy it is to scrub it up with his beast cannon.
Actually, what I have a lot of trouble with is Felicia/Gallon players who just jump around randomly and spam random specials. So far I’ve been winning pretty soundly by just turtling and guard canceling a lot, but I haven’t found anything concrete to do against it. I can’t go for jump-ins because they’re never even on the ground, and I can’t dash in because I either get stuffed by air normals, or one of their specials.
This is when playing characters without a DP move obviously.
Also, I’m having a lot of trouble with linking most dash attacks into chain combos. Like Bishamon’s dashing LK into C. LP. The timing is annoyingly strict.
Thank you so much for this thread.
We have built a small group of ppl in the Phoenix/Mesa area to play VS. Luckly I have the arcade board so we do not have to deal with any console issues.
:’( Lucky bastard.
lucky?
Hell ya!
I got the VS cps2 board on ebay for $35 with shipping. It was labeled as a Darkstalkers marquee and nothing else. I could barely make out the image of B.B.hood on the greed cps2 board. I only had one other person bidding agianst me on it so I snatched it up easy.
so much fun.
for your first problem, you have 3 [simple]options
-retaliate
-defensively retaliate
-dash forward/away(tho not always viable)
in the corner, depending on who you are, dashing forward/away is likely not viable(i.e. for victor, &maybe the fliers[mor/jed]).
if they’re chaining shit, or using moves that cause extended blockstun(leilei’s j.hp or zabel’s j.rk) you get free gc/tech.
as for retaliating, lets look at two characters, aubath and leilei. aubath has a delayed uppercut, s.mp and s.hp for AA’s. his upper comes out at a horizontal angle, his s.hp can be airblocked(and then properly punished), and his s.mp is nice, but due to the positioning of the hitboxes, aubath can get kicked in the face fairly easily(higher chance for counterhit as opposed to a cleanone)
his seemingly safest option: jump back, empty j.mp->j.hp… holding back does option select(correct term?) throw. if no throw comes out, you get his j.mp, which will chain into his j.hp should it hit/be blocked.
I’m pretty sure all other characters can follow similarly. at some point tho, you halfto apply pressure to keep them on the ground, and then do dirty shit.
as for linking the dashes w/ bish, did ya try d.mk or d.lp? they may or may not be as strict… i think you’re a kbd warrior, so try some form of ghetto double tappping.
also I want to write on another character.
I’ve written on aubath, leilei, and sasquatch(posts 4 &7), who should I try next? I’m not yet wholley qualified for demitri,felicia, bish, gallon, zabel or bb.
cigar bob, is the guy who’s handle is thisguilekillsya within your VS crew? hes damn good. I use to play him almost everyday on kallera in VS
I know him and have played with him from time to time. But I didn’t know he played VS. Ill have to PM his dirty ass and get him to come over for some arcade VS.
Thanks for letting me know.
good luck getting him to come out =( he only likes to play at home online it always seems.
anyone have good resources to vs vid sites? other than combovideos/first post of the thread.
Yea, Got this from one of Gbursines threads. http://temp-tation.ath.cx/SAVIOR/stream/sugamo/20040502_5on5.htm
theres 4 links of different sets of stuff to choose from.
i’m on 56k for another two hours, so I cant check, but the 2nd link (of the 4 in the middleish) had(has?) brief tutorials for shit w/ every character.
I wish I dled them all >.<
edit:
only these vids work :-\

& I was never asked for a password
It asks me for a password when I try to download them.
So im playing Bish on arcade VS1. I am having a bitch of a time canceling off his cr.jab, cr.short, cr.strong xx (what ever)
Does any one have know what the restrictions for this are? Please help I need to kill SaBrE’s Le-Le even worse.
Thanks.
thats just careful timing.
since moves aren’t normally bufferable when you chain them, you halfto make it so that the c.strong links(not cancels) off of the c.short; THEN you can cancel that shit.
felicia has the same thing.
I shortcut w/ bish, b/c i’m a lazy fuck(and thus my bish isnt as good as it could be), and do c.jab, c.short, c.short, c.shortXXlowslash.
