I don’t really wanna get into this fight, but NO MOVE is bad? Not even Blue Nocturne?
…C’mon, that move’s bad.
I stated wakeup short was dumb, and you SERIOUSLY went off topic. You are constantly accusing me of doing that exact thing when anyone who isn’t illiterate can clearly see half your original post was pointless bullshit.
So what if you apologized for ranting? That means I can’t comment on it? And even going along that thread, I merely said that I wouldn’t touch it because I wasn’t sure what you’re talking about. You’re the one who started with the tears and complaining about that tiny comment I made. You’re also bringing up the fact that I keep bringing up that you rant - it’s easy for me to do so, since most of your typing is just rambling, and you try to tie it all together with an insult.
Here, let me quote what was said.
That’s what I said about your ‘rant’. One line.
Your response?
So you took that as an attempt to bash what you said, and also state that whatever I say would be of little substance.
You’re.
Fucking.
Retarded.
You’re saying I’m constantly going off-topic [even in this last post of yours], even though what you type shows you’re a hypocrite at best, and someone who has troubling comprehending his own writing at worst.
And who’s the one that got personal? Do I have to quote again? Here I’ll link instead -

My reply to you. All it is is just 3 points, and then the comment about your rant.
Your reply? I’ll quote [part of] this so I can bold it -
That’s my post, then yours [which came right after]. I cannot believe I had to actually copy->paste to show you that you’re stupid. Didn’t go off topic? I got personal for no reason? Yeah fucking right. Hypocrite.
lol i just had a hunch you were gonna reply with some circular bullshit too(that has nothing to do with what we started on btw). i don t have time to read through your post haha waste time, i ve said my piece on that.
lol, heres something off topic for ya too, you don t travel? haha ok scrub. come out to EVO anyway and kick my ass if i piss you off so much, bring some justice to this world by beating me down.
“fuckin fuckin fuckin fuckin fuckin” dumb ass hahaha argue to become a better player, ignorant piece of shit lol sorry i killed your image of how 3s should be played scrub, i come all the way from NY, you can t go from north cal? excuses, your obviously scared to get beaten by my skills
Circular bullshit? Coming from you? AHAHAHAHA
AHGAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Edit: Also, please don’t think because I’m wasting time talking to you online that I would ever want to even see your face in real life. HAHAHAHA
LOL unproven piece of shit, blah blah blah play for justice scrub!
no joke, if you goto so cal and place top 3 at ffa, i will send you money AND apologize for being a douche, otherwise, your all talk, go gossip you little bitch ass girl cause thats all your good at HAH
serious business in the yang thread.
in regard to ex slash, sometimes you only land 4 hits instead of the full 5. You still knock down, but it doesn’t do as much damage…can’t figure out why sometimes I’m missing a hit.
You’re most likely canceling the first set of slashes, i.e. you’re doing the motions too fast. Slow down.
And to kofiend: Tsk tsk, I know you’ve run out of ideas, but try a little harder.
Dude. All this shit happened while I was practicing AHF.
All I have to say is…Rom vs KOfiend MM at somewhere.
BET IT
Only thing st. lk is good for is stopping dashes or stupid Makoto momentum. Even then it’s dumb and useless lol.
blah blah
the offer will always be there.
EDIT- i ll be back later tonight, enough time for you to process things LOL scrub
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
S.short isn’t completely useless, it’s nice to use to punish whiffed shoto low forwards and other types of whiffs [though I suppose you can usually go straight to ex slashes in most cases] with short xx ex. Only thing I had a problem with was -wakeup- short.
Most ppl say when doing ex manthis you only have to ex the first two punches, but I’ve noticed you only have to ex the first hit and follow the rest up with one punch button, or you can ex the whole series, does it make a difference, whats the best way to do it, to consistantly land all the hits.
It’s really a matter of preference, I find that I’m a lot more consistent with the ex mantis slashes using one punch button for the rest after the first one.
Last night, I was playing against my friend who was using Urien and we made an interesting discovery. I was using yang SA3 and when I had him in the corner, I activated and he does ex Aegis to stop me. I was in the middle of doing a far st. strong, so it hits the reflector and I get hit back as well. Immediately the aegis dissolved and we were both surprised. My friend and I tested it out afterwards and even though the aegis is 6 hits and the shadows do 3, the aegis will still dissolve after one hit from the shadows. So, I ask, is this anything new? Is it a glitch or ps2 specific? There are no arcades with a 3s machine around where I live, so I can’t confirm.
Really, this might not be too special, cause a good urien player uses the aegis by putting it on top of you. I was just wondering if anyone had known about this already.
Actually no. Activated SA3 will dissolve any Aegis whenever you hit it with a normal when you are in Seiei mode.
There are a lot of weird things that will destroy an Aegis though.
Good to see this is back on topic…
…at least for a lil while haha.
I think it has something to do with the startup of Aegis. I’ve experienced things such as this as well and attribute to it to that. Haven’t really done any testing though, so I’m not sure if it’s just a glitch or just weird startup properties (while Aegis is forming).
Anyone wish to discuss the reasons players pick SA3 vs Genei Jin?
I heard some kind of rumor that it makes yang harder to juggle?
Hmm, it’s a good defense against far away activation [or if you can knock them down mid-genei jin, then activate yourself] due to the ability to throw out c.fierce to make it exceedingly difficult to get in. C.fierce and s.forward can both be used, but c.fierce covers most bases anyways…
It’s good as corner pressure as Yun has no solid way of getting out of it [a knockdown then activate, that is], and due to Yun’s shitty defense, you get pretty good damage at the outset. I suppose reseting the combo to up the total damage isn’t a bad idea [I do this, hee], because the shadows generally prevent Yun from killing you if he parries something then normals you.
Midscreen activation is difficult, since Yun gets up so fast so… But aside from that, it’s just rationing your bar i.e. not EXing to have the possibility of a counter activation. Problem is, if he activates in your face, counter activation isn’t something you would do, and you then only have 1 ex to throw out [rather than the possibility of multiple if you’ve got sa2].
Yeah. I’ve been using it against Yuns, but I don’t find it to be that huge of an advantage. Perhaps there are other reasons.
Actually, using EX with SA3 isn’t too bad. I mean, you get basically 25% IIRC of your meter back by just doing one blocked slash anyway, so it isn’t too much of a problem.
Blah either SA is good against him, but I lean towards 2 in this one because I would rather just kill him of quickly with barrages of EX slashes. I’ll use 3 sometimes if I am unfamiliar with the style of Yun I’m playing.
Anyway, close st. mk xx SJC SA3 is something you can do if you land a parry sometimes. Usually, you can add a normal while they are still in the air, and reset and mixup from there. If you hit then way high in the air, and in the corner, you can do palm and then a normal, or sj. kick chain on some people.
Hmm, you misunderstand about what I mean about having 1 EX. I meant that if both of you have full SA3s, if you want to be able to counter activate, you can’t burn that EX of yours, otherwise he can activate as soon as you use it, and you won’t have time to get it back. Then again if he activates close enough, you can’t exactly counter activate anyways [which seems to be the big thing about sa3…].
Also I think SJCing into seiei enbu is sort of a waste. It burns up like a third of the time waiting for them to hit the ground -> get up, and you can’t really follow up a sjc anyways. I suppose it’d be useful to get a midscreen activation on someone who gets up fast, though.
Why would you ever sjc. close forward? You get one of the best setups when you follow up with senkyutai, then activate when they almost hit the ground which is “un-quickstandable” to setup whatever you please. If you reset them they are going to be far away from you which is what you don’t want for SA3.
Just making conversation that’s all.
I think you’re right though. I did misunderstand what you were trying to get at.
I guess that’s why I still use 2 on him. It seems to give better defence vs. the up close stuff of an activated Yun. If they Yun’s mixups are not good, then that’s an easy parry to a knockdown and a one hit kill if the mixups are working. Also, if you can red parry 123(shoulder) xx genei well, then that’s a free ex combo pretty much, as well as making the Yun fear trying to make you block a 123 string.
As for the close st. mk xx sa3, I mean yeah it is usually a waste, but I have found it to be useful in some spots. For example, in the corner, you do it, and then reset with jab, usually most characters, it sets up a perfect range for meaty UOH, going into a combo, or as usual you can go low and combo from there as well. I mean it has it’s uses pretty much.
As a matter of fact, I’ve started to activate in uncommon places lately as well, which probably lead to me talking about the close st. mk mess. I’ve started activating in very random places, just to see how it works.
You know something I wish more Yangs would do though? cr. lk x 2 xx ex slashes. I really don’t think enough people do this.
I guess sometimes it can be rewarding to be unconventional too I think.
