Whip it, whip it good - The Poison GD Thread

She can definitely be used, but atm, I doubt she is viable in high level play (idk if Wolkrone’s success counts?).

Another plus for Poison though is that she can special cancel her sweep like Ryu. I just figured that out the other day when I was on the can reading the Brady Guide lol

Didn’t Wolfkrone already drop her for Jin?

porkloafking (ie, Wolfkrone’s original monicker when he was only a Soulcalibur player) indeed switched to Jin.

Poison’s basics are at least serviceable - so Poison at high level is indeed possible - but you have to outplay the opponent more than usual.

hey new to sfxtekken here, coming from sf4 (rose -> poison)
I was trying to read up on her a bit, and people keep comparing her LMT to jaguar kicks,
but i feel LMT is much more like a slower hazan-shu that has a harder time leaping over fireballs and doesn’t hit overhead with the exception of the ex version
from a character design stand point i feel like she is really ambiguous - is she a man, is she a woman? is she a zoner? is she a rushdown char? lol

man AND woman
rusher AND zoner

Whatever you want, you can have it your way! =)

Poison and SFIV Rose are so much alike gameplay-wise~ - they share a lot of problems.

Cool, care to elaborate? Maybe it’ll help me play Poison better haha

Having trouble to open the opponent’s defenses is the biggest pain that they share. Others of note are: average-ish pokes and subpar zoning.

And also some minor simlarities, like their good dashes and overall gameplan.

Any other Poison players I can watch now that wolfy’s left her on the shelf?

Kayo, but who knows if she still plays her.

Shouldn’t Poison be just as healthy and hit just as hard as the dudes!?

Just sayin’… :wink:

I updated the Gem thread with a post for Boost Gems.

We are trying to combat the overusage of Assist Gems at this time so I won’t be making optimal Assist Gem builds in the thread, if you really want to ask about it, just send it to PM’s

I won’t invest too much more time into gems as they are only relevant to online play for the time being…as for Poison herself Im working on some tech so i’ll get back to ya’ll if i break through with something(doubtful).

Guess I’ll post something since its a ghost town in here…

3hit WoL, walk forward, hk LMT is a cool corpse hop that -might- be safe to SRK. I say -might- because there is always room for human error in my dummy recordings. Unfortunately doesnt prevent tech rolls, but could fool your opponent landing in front/behind using lk/hk LMT. Its pretty ambiguous imo.

EDIT: This might be better and more consistent–

3hit WoL, dash, hk/lk LMT (front/back)

Ill admit though, I havent played Poison recently. Been on Guile/Hugo again the past week or so.

SUPER EDIT: Forgot to note that SRK will -not- auto correct in this situation so thats a plus.

SUPER EDIT ARCADE EDITION: In corner you can omit the dash and go straight to lk LMT to corpse hop.

I’m sticking with Poison but once DLC is unlocked I’ll replace her with Sakura. With all the jumping in this game I need to keep Cammy just for anti air tags.

Had a chance to test her out. Damn, she’s so fun to play! <3

Edit: Whichever sadistic bastard coded her trial 20 should seriously burn in hell ._.

does anyone use her standing far lp for anything?

not really :stuck_out_tongue:
besides using it in a block string, it’s not really needed if you have Cr. :lp: or Cr. :mk:

could use fs.lp to link cr.mk if you are too far to connect cr.lp … that’s about it

/Mango

You can use it as part of a very long hit confirm boost combo.

It sucks that none of the new DLC (Boost) Gems really helped Poison out…so im kinda bummed about that.

I’ll do some heavy lab work to find something though…it maybe some weird combination im not seeing yet. however Lili is bat-shit stupid with the new Gems~
