    Wow, ibuki is tough to play. Like...how do target combos even work re: special canceling and links?

    Why is the SJC ultra 2 so hard to perform when it's SUCH A SIMPLE MOTION?

    Gary, what's going on with your internet? I hope it gets better (but I had fun regardless <3)

    i moved out to my family's cabin for the summer and there's only one isp out here and it's hilariously terrible. i'll be back in town august 25th

    target combos are just normals that cancel into each other i think..as far as i know you can special cancel any move in a target combo that is normally special cancellable on its own?
    i was going for lpxxmpxxhpxxneckbreaker when i was trying her out for sure

    like, for your triggers? uhhh maybe

    A+B
    B+D
    A+C+D

    and whatever for the 4th one

    also for the just 4 button layout

    usually i would do ABCD for XYBA like blazblue
    but then i tech throws with buttons B + A which is fucked, dragon punch by pressing Y + A which is impossible, etc

    i suppose i could bind a trigger to tech throws but that feels really ghetto

    oh okay

    well the "every ___ is cancellable" is true for feng shui engine and that feels like a target combo machine, so that's where i went wrong

    pad problems, son

    you might want that bound anyway for EX persona attacks

    i am leaning toward ACDB

    then i tech using the same buttons as blazblue and don't have to reach across for any combination

    however, i have to relearn my normals (could be bad), and bind RC and burst to triggers (actually a good thing)

    eh you'll adjust

    having to suffer a bit re-acclimating to your normals is better than having to deal with a janky button layout all the time

  • Big Red TieBig Red Tie beautiful clydesdale style feet too hot to trotRegistered User regular
    having B attacks set to the button for drive/launcher is all kinds of wrong though

    Just finished a bunch of matches with Stone.

    Guy is pretty damn nice. Ended at 20-21 in his favor.

    I am happy with this.

    Just to be clear, any normal that's super jump cancellable can be used to SJC into her ultra 2 (or viper's ultra 1?)

    So like the motion would be (quarter circle forward + normal, quarter circle (ending on up-forward) +3p/3k? And I could do that after her lk>mk TC? So like lk, QC+mk, QC (up forward)+3k? Is that how that would work?

    yes except that for ibuki that first qc + mk will come out as her command dash s you have to do lk, mk, qcfqcf up forward 3k
    i think

    Ughhhh I wanna get better. But if I play alone it just feels like a chore.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    time spent playing alone can be really productive but i agree it can also be really tedious

    i try and regiment my practice mode time so that i don't go insane from the repetition of it all and set up like, "workout plans" for myself

  • DirtyDirtyVagrantDirtyDirtyVagrant Registered User regular
    I need some workout plans.

    I wonder how much a 1v1 session with Alex Valle or one of these guys costs/would help. Haha.

    probably not very much, to be honest

    without having your fundamentals airtight, the only thing a guy like valle is going to tell you to do is "practice your fundamentals" and gary & co. can tell you that for free!

  • DirtyDirtyVagrantDirtyDirtyVagrant Registered User regular
    Fundamentals being:

    spacing, normals, and execution?

    yup precisely

    fighting games 101 - figure out what all your buttons do and how best to apply them, then worry about the high-level mindgamey shit you see from the pros

    i should also probably include "practice your combos until you can literally do them without thinking about them"

    at 17 seconds in to the match she is at full meter, and her opponent has no meter, with no mind charge used

    Here is an extra simple checklist of things to focus on when examining a replay

    a) did i throw out anything ridiculously unsafe?
    b) did i fail to anti air a jumpin?
    c) did i leave any openings unpunished?
    d) did i use a less than optimal punish (ie punish with throw or highly scaled hitconfirm combo)
    e) did i waste any advantaged situations by mashing jab/short and praying for a hit, or did i attempt a mixup or setup for a mixup
    f) did i unnecessarily give up ground or walk myself to the corner
    g) was i taken apart by a mixup i don't know how to defend

    My play style is just strings of things that are ridiculously unsafe and somehow they work.

    I am so dumb I am a genius.
