What do you mean by a mid attack?
For example - Akuma’s close standing strong can be parried both high and low, but his close forward can only be parried high. Ken’s ducking strong can be parried both high and low. So while it’s true that there are mids avoid a low parry, it isn’t a rule.
he means attacks that you are able to block high or low, yet are only parryable in one direction…like akuma s.mk.
the best defensive option in 3s (just like any other sf) is and always will be…BLOCKING. anyone who thinks otherwise straight up does not understand the game on a high level.
Are you saying that he is defining a mid attack as an attack that hits both low and stand block but can only be parried high?
I ask because I’ve always considered Ken’s crouching strong to be a mid attack yet it can be parried both ways.
U mad?
Quite a bit of self-reflection for you there, pootie.
Did someone read a book to you or something?
Yeah parry at high level doesn’t save you from much as far as a defensive standpoint in 3S. It can accent your offense but blocking saves your ass when you’re getting fucked up. Or blocking to red parry which requires more specific time and ingenuity than shoryu FADC. There are so many ways to bait defensive parrying (both offensively and defensively).
He is incorrect in the way he worded it, but you have the proper gist.
A mid attack is one that needs be blocked low but can be parried high e.g. Elena’s c.mp.
you can block elenas c.mp standing
iirc 3s has 4 normal move properties:
high overhead: block only high, parry only high
high: block low/high, parry only high
mid: block low/high, parry low/high
low: block only low, parry only low
Yeah Elena’s c.MP is the main reason why she’s a weak Chun Li. It’s a typical mid ranged attack like SFIV Ryu c.MP. Can be blocked high or low. It has nice range and looks like a low hit but it’s not. Can also be parried high or low. Meaning it’s easily option selected.
i get that some people dont like 3s, but many do love, and still play very much, before sf4, thats all i played, all SF games are fun, even the EX games despite being crap. so why all the hate on 3s
because they suck at it and need to blame something other than their boring, rigid, and useless playstyle
i literally hate fighting games.
I see. =\
Yeah. Not that she really needs that move. It’s actually got situations where it’s useful like if you’re just looking for a quick knockdown against someone whiffing shit or a general anti air at specific ranges.
Only an 09 *** would come up wit’ some outrageous shit like that.
Fuck me - it could?
I stand corrected.
It’s been a while, lol.
…I really ought to get another CRT and boot the old PS2 up again.
If not for 3S, then most definitely for Alpha Anthology.
And unfortunately, it’s easier to see coming than Chun’s, as well, isn’t it?
I know the start up is slower, at least.
go back to 4chan geek no nerds allowed on shoryuken
Parries are the best. If you hate parries, [media=youtube]VDMqZB10o8o"[/media]
I believe you guys are missing the point of the Newbie Saikyo Dojo. This discussion should be in Fighting Game Discussion, take your arguments there.
