Crazy ass character

I'm keeping it simple while starting out, at least for now

#

I could see 214B being able to link from 214BD, though I'll have to give 214D a try

#

214A/C might be able to work as well

rapid crow
#

Wait

#

I'm dumb

#

214C is the double fireball, yeah?

#

It's been SO long

prisma otter
#

Oh, yeah!

rapid crow
#

Yeah, 214C is what I meant then haha

prisma otter
#

Ah, gotcha! Yeah, that makes a fair bit of sense

rapid crow
#

Her 214C is nuts - it's good damage, it has huge push on block, and I'm 99% sure if you time it right, it can eat projectiles and still fire

prisma otter
#

214C is 3 more frames of startup than 2D, but it's definitely a decent damage increase if it does work

prisma otter
#

At least that how I'd imagine it'd be

#

It also seems to give a slightly better soft knockdown than 2D as well!

rapid crow
#

I remember getting decent oki off it if you can end a combo, especially if you set up her orb right after

prisma otter
rapid crow
#

Take everything I say with a grain of salt haha I was playing for like 3-4 months total before I took a huge break

prisma otter
#

Yeah, I know. I've made a note so I know to give it a try when I next test stuff!

this is disgusting

# potent cloak this is disgusting

It is!
There are some pretty cool combos
You can also just do 2 lv2s in the same combo
Because you can combo ranbu into super kick lv2 into light dp into air ranbu lv2

The sky is the limit… and even then this Phoenix has wings

#

I need to learn ur opti combo

timber imp
#

Not hard at all tbh

potent cloak
#

Yeah it’s easy haha

#

I need to get my double ex rekka combos down if I’m gonna do it

timber imp
#

I do have to say I don't quite like his rekkas that much
I know they are optimal, but...
Idk

potent cloak
#

I like them but it’s a lil finnicky

#

You can cancel into super on like all of them

timber imp
#

Yeah, they are cool and optimal
But I kinda feel like the added difficulty on his combos isn't always worth it

potent cloak
#

It can be true

Experimented with O. Shermie a bit more!
(I did have others, but the editing software I used just outright deleted the original when I went to render)
Combo route is cl.C > 6A > j.236BD, 214B > 236236C > Climax

Very nice progress!!

rapid crow

#

It's a little more damage for 5 bars instead of 4.5. Just something to keep in mind MayExcited

#

Did it again to see the damage. Looks like about 729 for a full meter dump, which I'm sure isn't completely optimal, and I think I cut the 214C off so I left some on the table, but it's a pretty decent little string if you roll her as anchor 👍

#

769 on the more optimal attempt just now

prisma otter
#

Awesome!
My current team setup is Shermie/Isla/O.Shermie so this sorta stuff is good to know

rapid crow
#

I also run Isla mid if you ever want to spitball tech MayExcited I dropped O Shermie to my B squad but I still really like the character

That first match with King vs Ryo it looked like you got cold feet off rip. This player only full jumps and was throwing out a bunch of far standing normals. Zone him, you have point King. Make him work to get to you. It’s Ryo with no meter. Use your 5D to preemptively stop this guy from using his weak strat. He punished literally like all your jump ins, have to watch the height of your jumps so you don’t get grabbed like how this guy got you. Beni as well, use him like a wall and frustrate your opponent while they try to approach. Control that space and punish them for trying to enter yours.

calm hamlet
#

Your skills are obviously higher but he has a solid gameplan

#

Even though he can’t hop

#

But he can do a BnB combo string off jump ins

#

And he figured a good way to keep out Shermie

#

If you have the life lead against Shermie, it’s not the worse idea to play keep away against her and force her to come in

#

And king is one of the best keepaway characters

#

So I wouldn’t be down on yourself

#

Just gotta figure it out

dapper bramble
# past sail https://youtu.be/W9tVQR8zd3Y

That Shermie vs King match second round. The full jumping away and throwing out light air venom strike. This is your time to close the gap as she is falling down. You can punish King landing recovery as she was so high up when throwing the air venom strike. Use your Shermie air buttons, j.CD, a, b, vertical j. D, play the game with him. They want to act like this 2 can tango. Also, you got a lot of knockdowns but seemed not to know what to do afterwards. Need to learn how to capitalize on this with your character, it is important. King just slipped away yet again.

#

Raitguy look at my combo too

covert dirge
# past sail https://youtu.be/W9tVQR8zd3Y

All I'm seeing (aside from Robert and Joe being their annoying selves) is some good King trolling, but his King isn't as good as yours, not even mine. You punish the hell out of me with Shermie when I try these, maybe it was just a rough patch today.
I want to know how they got past Rank 11-15 with this team 😅

#

This King... when they ran out of moves they just started whiffing auto combo attempts OMG 😂

#

This is kind of how I steal wins vs Rank 20. Knowing counters/punishes is half the battle, forcing better players to constantly use them can tire some players out by the end of the match. They're throwing so much bs it gets tiring 😂

#

Yeah that's my verdict, this is not a tech/skill issue imo. They just got in your head
ngl the autocombos would've absolutely tilted me

vestal ravine
potent cloak
#

MY COMBOS are so cool man 😤😤😤😤

shrewd obsidian
# past sail https://youtu.be/W9tVQR8zd3Y

Two things that stand out the most:

  1. This player never hopped at you, not even once. That’s a huge clue their execution isn’t that great. Not to mention their pressure

  2. They had zero oki, setups or safe jumps after knocking you down, literally just stood there. Also a huge clue that maybe they don’t have a strong game plan or one at all

I’ll admit to only watching the first 2 rounds of the first match but would be really surprised if they magically turned it up and were just holding their cards close to the chest to fool their opponent

calm hamlet
#

Cien is definitely better than them

calm hamlet
# past sail https://youtu.be/W9tVQR8zd3Y

Okay, I watched more and it seems halfway through the video, you had a different opponent who used Robert Joe king and they have a similar but slightly different playstyle. Is it the same person?

#

I can see where your frustration comes from. This second person has a gameplay strategy of jumping back and zoning (as well as using king air fireball and Robert dive kicks)and using Joe ex tornadoes that make approaching him difficult. And when he has chance, he punishes with auto combos

#

That can definitely be tilting which I think affected you as you were dropping combos as well

#

It’s a solid low level strategy that can be frustrating to fight against and very tilting which will affect your mental

shrewd obsidian
#

It’s not a personal attack against anyone who can’t hop or safe jump, it’s just something I’ve found helpful to look for and it stood out immediately. Like 10 seconds into the video Cien gets thrown by Ryo and then he just stands there

vestal ravine
#

What am I looking at here exactly @past sail you just look slow if anything. Like you're not playing anywhere near as aggressive as you do against server folks

#

And you're trigger happy as fuck

calm hamlet
#

All 3 does jump back then throw fireball. King will jump back air fireball, Robert will jump back and dive kick, Joe will ex tornado. All 3 also like to jump cd and all will do auto combo as punish

vestal ravine
#

Walk up n block @past sail they'll corner themselves eventually. Be ready for the AA or a risky dash special and punish big

#

You got cold feet for sure

#

Punishes were nom-existent on your end. Like big, easy, bnb punishes

timber imp
#

Aren has a godlike Kim

#

This is Kim vs Krohnen only, Aren vs Xiaohai

vestal ravine
#

I think you should play people outside of the server more. Put yourself in an uncomfortable environment where you have to figure out someone's gameplan and almost "force" yourself to adapt on the fly @past sail

calm hamlet
timber imp
#

You Americans are lucky to have a much greater playerbase than Europe, when I get ranked matches it's 200+ ping often and barely playable

#

Probably because those people don't have input delay enabled

#

So that makes it a nightmare

vestal ravine
#

At the end of the day though you can just throw down with our growing server n gitgud like that

# past sail https://youtu.be/W9tVQR8zd3Y

I just watched it
Not entirely, but like 20min
3 whole matches against that Robert, Joe, King team

And I think people have already given you general advice about what to do against them, but I can say stuff about character specifics, specially Shermie.

First of all, you were obviously tilted and started doing shit. You kept trying to heavy accel kick to get in over and over again when they were blocking and punishing every time.
I get that playing while tilted leads to exactly that, so I don't blame you much for that.
But try to calm down when fighting those people, tilting you is part of their gameplan.

Idk about Beni, so I'll just skip him.
But you didn't win the King mirror match mostly because you were too aggressive with her when you shouldn't.
They were jumping back and spamming Venom strikes, so do the same! You had the same tools, so just hit them like once and start playing defensively.
You know King has a hard time approaching, so hit them once or twice and win by time out.
I know it's boring, but it's what I do with O. Shermie against zoners when I can't get in.
Maybe because of the tilt, you also dropped some combos and punishes that could've won you the match. And I think being hit by the auto combo didn't help at all because you probably felt bad dropping your optimal combos only to be punished by an auto combo.

And about Shermie, the heavy accel is a great tool you have at your disposal, but not your only one.
Use the light one at medium distance. It actually hits them on punish if they fireball at medium distance, so they can't block or punish you.
They DPed a lot, so after hitting an accel, go near them and block, cuz they would probably yolo an EX Dp.
Also at medium distance, when they jumped back, you could've done heavy run grab. Would punish them on landing with Joe.
Against Robert, you should've DPed, as it would've stopped Robert Dive Kick and caused BIG damage with all the bar you had.

shrewd obsidian
#

So it’s less a factor of matchmaking being “broken” and more you may be looking in the wrong place

timber imp
#

Also, I see that you are quite proficient at punishing stuff with Shermie's command grab
And that is aweasome, cuz I've seen you punishing things I usually don't.
But it's not optimal when you could just 2A, Cl. C, 6B into BIG combo
Sometimes even just go straight to Cl. C if you feel like the light confirm is hard

shrewd obsidian
timber imp
#

I remember being actually quite on par with Daru when I first got in here
But two days later I couldn't win one
Lmfao

Honestly
You did the same, Smoke
We played very little, but I remember you got the download on me super fast and I had to change my gameplan a lot to be able to do something
But I was still bested by your safe jumps and grabs

# timber imp Honestly, there should be <10 people in Switzerland playing KOF. I was never abl...

That’s fair. I’m basing my opinion off of hearing Los Angeles based players make similar comments, and there is a very vibrant FGC scene out here both on and offline. For whatever reason people seem to gravitate towards room matches. I know I do because it essentially means waiting once to then play many matches vs waiting playing a FT2 then waiting repeat. Ranked is just an inefficient use of time imo

# shrewd obsidian Haha how do you mean?

So the first set I let man's get away with too much thinking they'd switch it up (i do this often). I'm pretty dynamic so I rotate offensive/defensive options pretty regularly. Second set it was the same thing, I just 3-0'd him, and at that point I'm like okay I don't think they're gonna do anything different, so i left LOL even though it's technically 1-1 set wise

#

That, and I just had to go hohohoh

shrewd obsidian
#

Ah gotcha lol

vestal ravine

but i only hold this cringe attitude towards people outside the server 😭 ain't no love for the opps

shrewd obsidian

I do the same thing sometimes, will give people too much credit when they haven’t earned it and get mixed with the no mix mix

But I do stick around and play unless it’s super boring like they are obviously a literal child or something

Yes running back is effective against Shermie which is what cien’s opponent was doing

timber imp
#

Lmao

dapper bramble
timber imp
calm hamlet
#

It’s because she has strong defensive tools like 2C and dp and various grabs so it’s hard to be the one approaching her. But if you run away, you start to limit what she can do and she has to rely on axle kick which can be countered (like what happened to cien)

shrewd obsidian
# rapid crow I don't disagree at all, but I will mention that the midwest has some struggles ...

Just to be clear the comparison I was making to @timber imp was that LA has tons of players (unlike some European countries) and yet some still make the mistake of claiming matchmaking is broken. It certainly could appear that way if someone is trying to pump a dry well (giggity) but I still feel like, for whatever reason some players aren’t giving public lobbies a chance. Hell even in the FGCB server I mentioned this and people went “Huh, I never tried that”

rapid crow

Yeah that is weird that Cincy doesn’t have locals, major market city and all that

I kept trying to hop and roll during the beta. Fun times

rapid crow
#

And that's when I knew I was probably not as invested

shrewd obsidian
#

Oddly enough I found it more difficult to AA with DP while moving backwards, you’d think it would be the other way around with only one type of jump in play

rapid crow
#

That's because you were on KOF timing. I was working on some bnbs at one point for Street Fighter and I had to physically restrain myself from hitting the next button too fast because I was on KOF's "this is controller abuse" timing

calm hamlet

KoF gameplay is def gives more freedom and feels more fun

#

I read somewhere you're supposed to practice muscle memory type things while you're watching TV / listening to an audio book or something. Apparently it helps put it more into the subconscious and keeps the mental stack clear for other stuff. 🤷

#

We'll see if it works out since it's a relatively recent thing I'm trying

calm hamlet
#

I just know you’re gonna level up so much. I mean you already are so it’s scary how much more progress you’ll make

rapid crow
#

I will say anecdotally that it certainly feels like my inputs are getting more consistent but that could also just be more practice in general

calm hamlet

Its a beautiful feeling to see tangible progress

rapid crow
calm hamlet
#

I labbed Meiten hop in combos for 2-3 weeks a while back. And now I can hit them pretty consistently and it did a lot to improve my gameplay

Kinda like Athena jB crossup. That one is the opposite, it always crosses up despite appearing not to crossup

#

The lesson as always is to just avoid situations where you can get crossed up

I get crossed up so much because I default to crouching and panic forget to AA and then, well, I'm open for business I guess

Athena hop B can cross up standing opponents it’s pretty cursed if you’re on the receiving end

The other big one was "only practice the same combo or character or specific tech for like 30ish minutes a day". I guess beyond that the mental fatigue actually starts reversing the progress. You can lab other stuff but you gotta break it up

Madkof. I think I'm the only person to ever mention this guy but you can check him out a bit in this set, I know he's like really well-known, but am I his only fan on this server is what I'm wondering about. Geese/Clark/Heidern OR Geese/Heidern/Clark (formerly Geese/Isla/Clark)

#

Great match going on rn between ET and Xiaohai

#

ET Team : Geese/Jenet/Heidern
Xiaohai team : K'/Isla/Heidern

#

current score || 6-7 in ET's favor ||

#

|| 6-8! ||

#

you have to be a paid sub to ET to watch his stream VODs sadly but I think I'll do it one of these days if he keeps playing Geese (Swiss money power)

#

His Geese is really strong. At least as good as Madkof's who has played him for months and months, if not better than Madkof's Geese

#

Holy shit ET has to have the best Heidern in the world

#

The combo he just did man

#

that shit is crazy hard

#

Idc I'm the only one getting hyped about this match this is sick as fuck will sub to ET to record this money match

One of the matches I saw, they went into anchor vs anchor so Heidern mirror and ET had only 40/50% HP remaining but he still slayed Xiaohai's Heidern with his. His execution was on point, he did some of the hardest stuff Heidern can do

I'm not even going to bother with the match vs. Aktive

dire bear
#

I Will watch the match now

#

Is only this match?

pure lark
#

I mean, that's a set against that guy.
I also have a match here I lose against Aktive that I legit just didn't try

#

And mistakes I made against a scrubby Darli

#

But that's mostly a matchup thing

pure lark
rapid crow
#

I'm watching it now but idk if I'll have anything useful since I'm roughly your level or below 🤷

#

@pure lark Do you want me to post some of the notes I have on it? I'm happy to just talk about stuff I saw from watching but I'm also fully respectful of the fact that you'd rinse me most days of the week so I don't want to offer advice that isn't wanted

pure lark
#

Any insight is appreciated. As long as the advice isn't the same "get gud you fucking scrub" my brain won't stop telling me, it's always welcome.

rapid crow
#

Haha, nah, never, and full disclosure, I'm only really hyper aware of this because it's the exact same stuff I struggle with, so it's more coming from a place of "Yeah... I do that too..."

#

Lemme write this up and I'll post in a sec

pure lark
dire bear
#

So @pure lark from what i have seen from that set ,is you use a lot of roll and you put yourself a lot in the corner, even sometimes when you get out of the corner you put yourself there again because of using rolls.

#

And because of shermie amazing 2C you rely too much on that type of anti aír

#

5A sometimes is enough

#

Charachters Dolores and shermie, Im no expert só someone else have better knowledge then me.

rapid crow
#

@pure lark
First, the match was close and your Dolores is terrifying. At one point (19:26ish), you had an AA punish into Climax for like 800 damage that was disgusting. That was cool to see.

I think the biggest thing I saw is that he dialed in on the fact that you were super eager to hit buttons in neutral (again, I literally struggle with this constantly). There were multiple times especially in the second game that he would walk forward or neutral jump or hyper jump over you and you'd defend it with an AA and whiff and he'd smack you for it. A few times you would throw out kind of unsafe Dolores stuff to zone but he was already pretty much running at you knowing it was coming.

Second, it felt like you were trying to beat him on wake-up / get the reversal every time, and you were getting pummeled by the meaty cl.B on Ryo, which this dude knew how to convert every time. I think if you just blocked low and were prepared to tech a throw, you'd have eaten a lot fewer combos. (17:16 and 22:33 were big ones). To play into this, at some point, he got the download pretty hard and started baiting Athena DPs, and you threw them out a lot. (17:16, 18:57, 22:43).

Last, I think if you can confirm off lights, especially 2B, you're going to massively level up. At 18:19 you did a 2B > 2B > sweep near the corner (IIRC) that I think could've closed out that round if you had done light starter combo instead.

All that being said, your Dolores combos were on point, your Athena zoning was actually really tough for him to deal with, and in general your keepaway game was pretty good. I think if you just shore up a couple close-range things like I said you're gonna really take off. Hope this helped!

dire bear
#

Athena looked like your best charachter for me since you were using the tools at a good way, and when your having time getting out of the corner or presure dont forget to use guard blow back

rapid crow
#

Time stamps may be off by a little I kinda wrote things down hastily as I was going

#

I also might be way off so someone else can feel free to correct me 🤷 It's the best advice I've got as a scrub haha

pure lark
#

I appreciate the insight from you both. And even though I've used Shermie since the start of the game, I'm not above dropping her if I'm not making her work. For the low confirm, I was drilling 2B xx 2A xx EX grab all month, and the one opportunity I get to use it I just didn't. I dunno what's wrong with me.

#

The times I Athena dp'd were situations where I was going to die in one touch anyway, or that round start one where I was trying to grab and missed my 4 in the 6246c

#

But you're not wrong, I'm too easy to read. And I don't know what to do to remedy that. Because if I block too much, that's not really KoF. And I don't know when is appropriate vs. not appropriate to do

#

I hadn't considered Athena to be my best since she's not particularly great in my hands, but that may also speak to my poor play with the rest of my squad. Hahaha

#

Anyway, Smoke also kicked my ass in warm-ups so I feel like I really just need to relearn everything again for basics.

#

I'm easily the weakest player here, and thanks to y'all's insight, I might have a chance at no longer being there. It is appreciated

timber imp
pure lark
#

I disagree, but I am trying yeah.

timber imp
rapid crow
pure lark
#

Like, that's the goal. I just, like, there's a lot I can't do rn and it feels like the skill chasm between where a lotta yall are rn and where I am with my limited knowledge

#

Like, I can't low confirm and it's costing me matches. When yall low confirm are you like just planning to low confirm into a combo or, like, is it just muscle memory, or what?

timber imp
#

Do it little by little
Most stuff comes with time and LOTS of practice
In training mode AND in real matches

Low confirming for example, as you just asked
I am HORRIBLE at those
Ask Daru, before last week or so, I never even did them
I am starting to now, and my personal experience is that, just like hopping or any other tech
You have to practice a lot in training mode
And then try to do it on a real match
You will probably fail and not get it right
But just try again and again until you get it right
At some point, you'll start doing it right, and some time after that, it'll become natural

#

Took almost a month for me to stop dropping Angel combos
But at some point, after dropping and being punished countless times, I feel like a switch just...
Switches
And I started getting them in matches from jump ins and easy punishes like a DP
And then, I started doing them on tighter opportunities, and weird punishes
And nowadays, I can do them with my eyes closed

dire bear
#

Maybe your Brain ust did not make the click on what you have to do in some aspects of the game

timber imp
#

Yup
It's that click
It comes to you sooner or later
But it does, and when it does, you'll do stuff naturally

dire bear
#

And try to thnki what your doing wrong and maybe i could use this this way let me try this mid match ok dosent work Next move something Will work

#

Like finding the best air to sir Button whay makes ducking air moves

Examople Atena as 2 anti air Standing B and Close D now try figure out what works best and when

rapid crow
pure lark
rapid crow
#

Go into the lab, set the dummy to level 3 CPU controls, and try to punish into full combo off of every single one of these

#

That's how I started practicing my confirms and combos and it's kinda working 🤷

pure lark
#

I'll give that a try. I mean, it has to be better than what I'm doing now.

#

Which is getting wiped by everyone and anyone in Ranked, tourneys, and servers

To answer your question, I do think of what I want to do before doing it but you gotta remember that they might block so we have to be ready for that and either end on a safe special or normal

#

This is where drilling hit confirms with the dummy on random block is so critical. Once you get more reps it’ll feel more natural but it does take some time so just start practicing now and also go for it in matches

@pure lark have you tried running Athena Dolores Shermie?

Cien, the voice of reason. Shows how much he has grown

pure lark
#

I suck because even though I got throttled last night and have been following y'all's advice with my training I STILL went 2-16 in online matches today and, again, fell to rank 24

#

I am legitimately trying my fucking best, and I'm failing over and over and fucking over again

past sail
#

You're catching yourself in a depressive loop. Look at it like this:
You say you suck, so when you lose you're reinforcing that narrative in your head.
And hey, from my experience you do gotta know your limits and it hurts like hell when you're following the instructions and still come up sub par. It's the worst feelings

but (and this is the important part)

You just gotta let shit go, man. I'm not saying disregard everyone's advice, I'm not saying those losses aren't important. And I'm definitely not saying that you gotta feel any less shitty about it but sooner your later that mindset will trap you into never looking for your potential because you say it's not there. Take the loss, grit your teeth, but you gotta keep looking forward.

Shit sucks and it's gonna keep sucking, for awhile even. But you got to strengthen your resolve and keep pushing yourself up, not down.

#

Tl Dr, learn from the past, don't focus on it

# pure lark Won't my skills deteriorate?

I took a 3 month hiatus for IRL stress and came back more consistent than when I left. Sometimes you need to walk away to give your brain time to strengthen the neural connections you're developing. 3 months is probably excessive but a few days to a week would probably be helpful

# rapid crow That's how I started practicing my confirms and combos and it's kinda working 🤷

Thinking this through more, would I be looking to hit a specific confirm multiple ways vs. the CPU and eventually work in different options? I.e. in one 10-min set vs the computer, look to land only confirms off 2B, another 10-min set look to land confirms off jump-ins, and a final 10-min set look to base my confirm options off reads? (dw, still on hiatus; asking regarding focus)

Agreed. 10 minutes and try and stay on one side. And keep it moving! It’s not possible to learn something in a day just have to chip away at it. Took me literally 3 months to get Yuri 3D above 50% and I still drop it all the time

#

Set a timer and stick to it

#

First things first; get your routes dialed in on random guard dummy

#

Meanwhile Mickey Mouse kroh 3D pushes him to narnia easily to convert the combo from anything

#

My fault buff yuri

Affirmative, y'all!

@pure lark I just tuned in but I'll just echo what has already been said

Enough with the pity party 😤 We all get dumped and dump, that's just the ebb n flow of the game. Yesterday was my first time ever sweeping Luna and I took every set. But I didn't celebrate it, didn't even mention it until now, because it's just an accumulation of every L and teachable moment I've had with her. Yesterday was a result of consistent execution. That's it.

#

You notice it, pat yourself on that shoulder, and try to grow on that foundation. Don't get too hung on the L's and W's, celebrate em, wallow with em, but keep going

#

We all tune in with our 2 cents because we want you to keep growing and getting better and we don't mind one bit

#

No one here is too much of a "burden" or whathave you, we all support each other here n try to uplift so that we can keep bumping heads and get better together

Unoptimal asf, but its kinda flashy

potent cloak
#

that is actually extremely optimal and it’s his safejump setup

#

👆

#

Oh wait u did lvl 2

#

You can stick to air level 1 at the end

#

Test and see if u still get a safejump after level 2 air super at the end tho 👀👀👀👀

#

Very strong player from Morocco (the one commentating) on 1P vs the best KOF player in my country and top5 EU player VRyu on 2P

#

Cool match from a few months ago (not latest patch)

#

It's too bad VRyu doesn't enter tournaments. If he went to the mixup he could've won against Ky-Dragon and the Chilean player imo

#

You might remember VRyu if you played SF4, he had the best Makoto in the world just behind Haitani but he never really traveled so who knows

#

(I hit him up on Twitter and he agreed to teach me stuff as well lol)

#

He's super chill I remember meeting him at a local tournament like what, 8 years ago? He was super cool

<@&1020150383139631124> <@&1020150124984406036> everybody pick up Dino

#

We will have KOTH and see who is the true King of Dinosaurs

KOD Kim shells and then whoever we want for a third sounds like a good time to me

That’d be a cool lil idea tbh

@ripe tartan this might be a little abstract rn but this video honestly taught me everything abt what to do w/ Iori’s neutral (I know this is KOF 98 but I think he still holds true to his classic self haha)

Xiaohai.小孩 (IORI Best Rounds) KOF 98
  • Iori is one of best characters in KOF98. There's no need to tell you what he can do, because he can do everything, but I'll do it anyway. He has awesome damage, can stun you in 2 combos, a great attack/throw game, a great high/low game, arguably the best (through certainly the easiest to use) crossup in the game, the best punisher in the game,...

Would be sick

nova mango
#

Took like 3 hours to build the combo and then another hour to finally land it

hardy nexus
#

Didn't even kill

nova mango
#

I know

hardy nexus
#

Still a very impressive combo though

nova mango
#

Just 3 damage shy of a tod

#

I'm racking my brain in trying to think of something I could add to make it kill, but I just can't think of anything

hardy nexus
#

Damn

#

Maybe a level one before the climax?

dapper bramble
#

this shit is pretty cool though you been in the lab fr

hardy nexus
#

There was already a level 1 before the climax

#

But maybe you could use his other level 1? IDK

#

4 hours ?

#

Yeah

nova mango
#

Burned through my entire Metallica playlist while mapping the routes🤣

nova mango
#

I'll try and experiment a bit more to try and see if I can turn it into a TOD. Idk if any season 2 joe TODs exist yet, but if not, it would be cool to make the first.

dapper bramble
nova mango
#

Damn, I was too late😔

#

I'm prolly not gonna watch it just because I wanna make the tod on my own lol

dapper bramble
#

give yourself some credit though you legit did the stun combo, but just a few tweaks can easily get the kill

nova mango
#

Yeah..

dapper bramble
#

and by a few I literally mean like one thing maybe haha

nova mango
#

It took so long to figure out the stun combo, and after I got it, I was like "ITS POSSIBLE"GoldlewisPog GoldlewisPog GoldlewisPog

dapper bramble
#

got to hit it in a match

potent cloak
#

Rank 3 combo

dapper bramble
#

thats the real hype moment

#

landing this stuff in the actual fight

nova mango
#

Yeah, that would be cool

#

However, I'm not nearly at that level yet, and even then, I need 5 bar joe

dapper bramble
#

anchor him and get him fed just to do a stun TOD loool

nova mango
#

I'm gonna save it for raitguy😈😈😈😈

dapper bramble

#

Or Luna, she been badmouthing joe lately

#

Can't take that slander

dapper bramble
#

Yeah do that for the Kyo army

nova mango
#

Ooohh, damn

dapper bramble
#

Imma hit some Orochinagi loops next time we fight smh

nova mango
#

I think I might make joe main team

#

Hes super fun to play

#

And he's got sick ass combos

dapper bramble
#

Yeah, then I can post this whenever I win a set😂

Do it to me in a match!

nova mango
#

Nah, I need to refine it first

#

Cuz rn it doesn't kill, which I need it to

#

And I've got 3 ideas on how to improve the combo

past sail
#

Bro how do peps even think of this shit

#

Goddamn thats cool

vestal ravine
#

I might pick up Joe again
