[vestal ravine]

I DID

I am proud of you

[nova mango]

Thx man

[potent cloak]

Good q, I don’t use scum gale like that yet, it has heavy scaling in this game

[pure lark]

Yeah, the fact that the scumgale QM combo does a whole 400 something damage in trials is completely ridiculous

[potent cloak]

Not really, it’s fine to have scaling, supposed to be a tool to quickly open up opponents

Not like you’re supposed to TOD people off a command grab

[pure lark]

I hear you. I also think they could've chosen a better way to show off a scumgale combo than a QM combo that does as much as a non-QM combo off a low

[potent cloak]

Totally agree w/ u on that

The trials are so ugly lol

[dapper bramble]

@potent cloak @shrewd obsidian https://youtu.be/YiqNYSVAmjE?t=4149

This shit popped up in my youtube recommend and I skimmed to my characters of choice, and boy this gave me a hearty laugh

owning these oyash players smh

bro I'm not trolling when I say CD CD CD 3d Rekka CD

[shrewd obsidian]

If we play I’m making it a goal to kill you with a full stick of butter so you start spending it 😹

[shrewd obsidian]

Dark Angel does that too it’s just how the character works. What cracks me up the most is how nothing really changed fundamentally for Kyo it’s just people know how to play 15 now

[shrewd obsidian]

Shermie says hi

O Yash too

[nova mango]

I'm still experimenting with the combo, I might not need 5 bars for it to work

[calm hamlet]

Clark looks on sadly

[shrewd obsidian]

So true

[nova mango]

#BuffClark

[shrewd obsidian]

Or, hear me out, you spend it as you get it and then you don’t need to do whatever all this is

I’m kidding (mostly) but something to consider

[nova mango]

If I can't do crazy long ridiculous combos, then why am I even playing??

[dapper bramble]

this shit is amazing to watch

Kyo Army

[nova mango]

(Kidding lol)

[shrewd obsidian]

For fun? To vibe with the homies? For glory?

[nova mango]

Totally for glory

Also the homies

Shoutout to all of yall, you guys rock

[shrewd obsidian]

Right back at ya little bro

[shrewd obsidian]

And to think he was the first character I tried lol

I’ll bet $50 that RINO has a Kyo in 2 weeks or less any takers?

[dapper bramble]

idk this team of double Yash is a bit destructive to say the least

Even watching Oyash is just gross

I can't do it

[shrewd obsidian]

I played an anchor one last night in a FT10

Gross is an understatement

It’s honestly the same thing with Shermie. Can’t stagger pressure everything has to be air tight because you know they’re wheeling the stick on a command grab as soon as they get hit

And why not? Absolutely zero downside to doing it

[calm hamlet]

I’m enjoying this Shermie and o yash hate

Not like “honest Clark”

[shrewd obsidian]

Clark has to hit confirm, do safe jumps and actually have mixups aka execution

Those other characters do 2 inputs and then their pilot can go make a sandwich while the cutscene plays

[dapper bramble]

yeah this is the thing that makes it insufferable to play against these kinda chars at times

[potent cloak]

Im trying !

[potent cloak]

I lol’d

I need to learn my safe jumps w/ him

[timber imp]

I'm probably not the only one who likes '00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1YeyfE2tbU

Some sick '00, and I can do propaganda for my hero again

Chubby madkof

[dire bear]

@timber imp KOF 2000 assist system is broken

Sound track is amazing roster also

Gameplay is smooth and doing super is not so hard as 99

My favorite of the nests and maybe 4-6 fav KOF of all time

[potent cloak]

What’s ur fav KOF Tiago?

[dire bear]

https://tenor.com/view/kof98-kof-yuri-sakazaki-wanna-play-some-kof-kof98oomfie-gif-24244675

[potent cloak]

I need to try 98 seems awesome

No K’ tho 😳

[dire bear]

98 is cool as hell @potent cloak

You have Kyo father to play if you want

[hot veldt]

Saisyu is great

[potent cloak]

😳😳😳😳 me when I realize I can play Kyo’s father

[timber imp]

You're right and I absolutely love it. It's so good. I wish they would have a fun mode with strikers back some day, along with classic 3v3. And XI tag system was very very fun as well

I want Team Masters with Saisyu, Takuma and Goro or Chin

GORO FOR XV PLEASE

He was cool af

Yeah team Saisyu Takuma and Geese would be a team of mine

Team middle aged men

Team daddys

AND YEAH GORO

Such a cool character I really hope they bring him back as DLC in a team

Goro is like the grappler that has such good neutral, he hits so hard, fundamentals are so good

[timber imp]

I do like that a lot
Lmfao

[timber imp]

ME TOO

Team charisma

I mained Takuma in XIII
He was cool af

Mr. Karate too
Obviously top tier
Lmao

Yeah takuma was really fucking cool in XIII

Yeah Karate sis, he was nuts

[hot veldt]

If we get Saisyu back I’ll have my 98UMFE team in XV lol

[timber imp]

98UMFE such a good game

What's your XV team btw Rodger

[hot veldt]

It’s either my favorite KOF or second to XV

[timber imp]

Yup I feel you

[hot veldt]

In constant flux, Shingo and Mai are for sure the most definite picks

[timber imp]

Cool!

[hot veldt]

I think XI’s my third favorite

[timber imp]

XI was so unique and cool I played it a bit on the PS2 emulator

The tag system was really well thought

And the roster is super dope and diverse

Duo Lon, Oswald, Gato, and all the classic characters are there too, etc.

[hot veldt]

It’s such a unique roster I love the game just for that alone

[timber imp]

I love SF you know, but KOF truly is a special game to me now

Yeah XI's roster might be my favorite of all KOF games with 2002UM

[hot veldt]

But then you got Kyo and Kensou who have their two play styles merged into one character

[timber imp]

98UMFE really has cool chars as well

Cool roster I mean

[hot veldt]

And Garou Terry

[timber imp]

Yes!!!

[hot veldt]

Yeah 98UMFE is like peak KOF to me

[timber imp]

Garou Terry

Yes honestly I played a bit of 98 vanilla on FC but never understood why people just don't play 98UMFE outside of like, Japan

I love 98

One of the best KOFs ever made

[hot veldt]

Truly 🙏

[timber imp]

But 98UMFE might actually be peak KOF as you said

[hot veldt]

Yeah 13 is good and all

But 98UMFE just got that somethin’ somethin’

[timber imp]

XIII is a really good, great fighting game, the most beautiful pure 2D pixel art fighting game ever made imo

But it's not in my absolute top of KOF games I think

[hot veldt]

The sprites are beautiful but some characters look off in terms of proportions

Plus Movelists got gutted

[timber imp]

Still very excited for GM tho

Yes movelists were gutted true

[hot veldt]

Ralf used to have a command grab 🥲

[timber imp]

I like those weird proportions as well tbh lol

[hot veldt]

Andy kinda had one too actually

It was a prox. unblockable iirc

Still cool

[timber imp]

True 😭

Yup

[hot veldt]

Mai had a DP and a flash kick in two different variations in 98UMFE too 😭

Those had me spoiled

[timber imp]

The gutted movelists along with the game being super expensive and hard to find in arcades in Japan back in the days is the reason the Japanese stayed on 02UM btw

And I can understand them 100

[timber imp]

Yeah ex variations were so cool

Ex Robert I just LOVE

Mai as well

Gawd

Such a great game

[hot veldt]

I can never remember what EX versions usually do aside from Kyo and Mai

Still I’m so glad they exist

Plus they’re usually just as good as the normal character

[timber imp]

Ex Robert is like charge Robert

Kinda guile Robert

And Kensou for example has no more projectiles but becomes more of a mid-close range character

In his EX variation

[hot veldt]

I know Kyo goes back to his 94-95 self, right? Or is it the other way around

[timber imp]

I think that's it yeah

Like Kusanagi in 02UM iirc

Regular Kyo in XIII too

[hot veldt]

Ok yeah that is the case

[timber imp]

Aka fireball kyo

[hot veldt]

I’ll always prefer Rekka Kyo but the option to go fireball Kyo is always appreciated

[timber imp]

I still prefer rekka Kyo, cuz I love rekkas

Yeah same same

[hot veldt]

Although in my ideal world every game would just have XI Kyo

[timber imp]

True I really like fb Kyo as well I played him quite a bit in XIII

[timber imp]

I dont think I even tried him out in XI

Sadge

[hot veldt]

I’ve only dabbled in fireball Kyo in the lab and trying to play ‘94 one time

[timber imp]

Yeah I feel you

[hot veldt]

His fireball sounded a lot more viscous and sparky there, I kinda miss that

It crackled all angrily and stuff

[timber imp]

Oh yeah that's cool

Damn

[hot veldt]

It’s basically Rekka Kyo but he has his fireball back as 214A/C, it’s awesome

[timber imp]

They should bring an EX Iori variation for XV as a free DLC that would be 100% Claw Iori from XIII too imo

[timber imp]

HOLY

I want that Kyo back too

[hot veldt]

It’s so cool!

[timber imp]

Whenever I'm bored some day I'll boot up XI again on the emulator and try him out

XI so dope

[hot veldt]

Mai even had her old CD animation as a command normal

Let her do air ok specials and even her big super

[timber imp]

Damn that's dope

I havent seen anyone hate on XI despite the game being really different. Everybody agrees to say it's a great fighting game

And to think it was never featured at EVO back in the days. Makes me 😡

First ever KOF at EVO was XIII

[hot veldt]

I’ve heard people say that the tagging takes a bit away from KOF’s identity but XI is so cool that I don’t care

[timber imp]

Yeah but still, the most purist fans will say that but in the end they will say it's a great game nonetheless usually

At least those I've seen talk about XI

Who weren't huge fans

Always had respect for the game

[hot veldt]

I’m a huge fan and I adore XI with all my heart lol

[timber imp]

While even staples of the series and super popular games like 02/02UM or XIII or XV get dissed

But XI not as much, maybe because people forget about it idk

[hot veldt]

XV gets too much flak 🥲

[timber imp]

Sorry English is not my native language, what does "flack" or flak means

[hot veldt]

Too much hate, my bad

[timber imp]

No worries I've seen it quite a bit but never bothered to Google lmao. Thanks!

[hot veldt]

Idk just feels like all I see is people dogpiling on it

[timber imp]

Yeah a lot of XV haters these days

When imo the game is just the best 2D fighters on the market rn despite the matchmaking problems and servers being a bit wanky with rooms you cant join etc.

I mean it's small indie developer SNK

People talk about the top 3 characters being cancer, hella stupid and such but I think the KOF top tiers are the nicest top tiers of pretty much all current fighting games rn

Outside of maybe, VF

And a few games like that

Top3/top5

[hot veldt]

Yeah KOF is amazing and I don’t know why people don’t like it outside of the matchmaking

[timber imp]

For real

[past sail]

Too haaaaaard

[hot veldt]

Literal skill issue

[timber imp]

That has to he it

Be it*

[hot veldt]

People liked Xrd and +R

[past sail]

"You telling me I have to think in neutral?"

[timber imp]

Playing 3 characters

[hot veldt]

Why can’t people like KOF

[timber imp]

I think having to play 3 characters scares so many people

People love one character and they dont wanna bother learning anyone else

[hot veldt]

They should include a pamphlet that says “learning three characters isn’t as hard as you think!” With the game

[timber imp]

When KOF literally has all the best FG character designs of all time iml

Honestly yeah, but I'm saying it now and saying it again

SNK and all fg companies should make tutorial videos as promotion

[hot veldt]

Truest statement ever

[timber imp]

Like explaining how playing 3 characters isn't that bad, explaining the games mechanics but also general fighting game philosophy and how to approach KOF

And general fighting games even

[past sail]

The kof box

[timber imp]

Yeah lol

SNK's KOF School

Like 1h-1h30 of very comprehensive and beginner friendly content on how to approach the game and its mechanics

Even 45min would be enough

In small bits

I think if that existed people would be 1. More willing to actually give a chance to KOF and 2. If other companies did this, more people would play fighting games

[hot veldt]

I kinda wanna make that now

[timber imp]

Honestly yeah I've been thinking about it for a while

I would like to make a video in French about KOF

Several videos in small bits rather

Like a small playlist

10-15 minutes at a time, 4 videos

Like you always know this friend who tried out a fighting game for the first time

The FIRST thing he wants is to do damaging combos

He literally gets overwhelmed by execution

And quits

Like dude

There are so many more simple and better things to learn before doing combos

Like knowing what moves does what and finding a purpose for it in neutral. Even if you're wrong. At least you can PLAY the fucking game

Even if you start using a move that just won't work in neutral because it's not designed for it, at least PLAY THE FUCKING GAME

And stop trying to do max damage combos in fucking Tekken

Ffs

Sorry

[past sail]

Personal experience?

[timber imp]

Yes

TWICE

[past sail]

Unfortunate

[timber imp]

That's a light way to put it

[hot veldt]

That’s one of the reasons I got 98umfe for my friend, there’s like no pressure to do big optimal massive damage combos

[timber imp]

And the worst part is that I was there, they knew I had years of experience in SF and they still wouldn't listen to me because for them, FG = big combos lol. And trying to even explain that you WILL NEVER LAND THE FUCKING COMBO YOU WORKED FOR HOURS ON END IN TRAINING MODE if you can't open the opponent up and hit confirm so do a small combo or even no combo. Just try to move around, get the feel of the game, use very basic moves and use them well. But nope, they wanna do the hardest stuff they will never land in a real match anyway.

I'm done. Sorry

[timber imp]

Actually a good idea

[hot veldt]

Nah you’re good, sometimes we gotta vent and that’s actually good advice

[hot veldt]

I can get by with just 2A>2A>236A with Shingo lol

[timber imp]

I actually have to clean up my neutral game in KOF

[timber imp]

For real and if a beginner can get consistent at that it's great

Just do a cancellable move into fireball motion

Or use pokes if you play a 3d game and try to sidestep, move around and shit

[hot veldt]

Doing 2B>2A is too hard and the mix doesn’t matter as much so I never do it

[timber imp]

Yeah I feel you, old KOF can be hard on even the simplest stuff

[hot veldt]

I struggle with that in XV too lol

[timber imp]

Me too, I can't hit confirm lights lol

What I actually have to do is :

Stop using only the C button 90% of the time, you won't open people up with close C on repeat

Actually be proactive in defensive neutral, defend my zone, and be at the place I want to be in or make the opponent go at the range I want him to be in

Use simple stuff. No anti air DP. 2C

[hot veldt]

I need to spam Mai j.CD more

[timber imp]

Do a light blockstring into fireball. Just the most basic stuff

And I'll step up

[timber imp]

This move is insanely good imo yeah

Like not broken

But very strong yeah

It's up there in terms of normal move zoning and space control

Can be used both defensively and offensively iirc

Does it hit crouching opponents ?

[hot veldt]

I’m not sure if it does

I sure hope so

[timber imp]

Yeah I'm not sure either

But if it does

[hot veldt]

Give my girl privilege please SNK

[timber imp]

It might be at the very top of j.CDs in the game

[potent cloak]

KOF XI Lowkey some mahvel

[timber imp]

Up there with Krohnen's, Heidern's, and Geese's imo

[hot veldt]

I thought Jenet’s was good

[timber imp]

I need to use j.CD with Geese more too

Yeah jenet too of course

[timber imp]

Yeah you can tag in

But no really cruel combos like 0p

00*

Or mahvel

But yeah if Mai's j.CD hits crouchers. It would be insanely strong for sure.

I cant test it rn I'm not at home

Because iirc it comes out super fast

Maybe not super fast but fast

[hot veldt]

I’ll see if DC has the scoop

[timber imp]

Yuh yuh

[hot veldt]

It does not say

[timber imp]

Hmm

Okay time for me to go play RE5 coop

See y'all tomorrow I'll be there to play for sure (hopefully not too tired)

[dire bear]

That would be a nice add on to the game and specials with different properties on assist

[timber imp]

Yes!!!

[ruby raven]

https://youtu.be/myn1glHxU6Q @timber imp Here is the O.Shermie gameplay I talked about earlier.

[timber imp]

Cool!
Will watch later!
Tricky is really good
She taught me a lot

Indirectly

Lol

[ruby raven]

Yeah, she barely has any players unfortunately. One guy played her at Texas Showdown on TNS and another guy played her at Evo Japan (I couldn't find any footage of him)

But Tricky is really good with her

@normal pine Just up above here. Those two are the main two Angel players I know. They both play her in the first position so you're sure you can watch them play her every game there. I've selected these two as they are all recent and they play matchups that are common in this game.

[normal pine]

Thanks

[timber imp]

Thanks!!

Can't you get dp after that too?

like as an ender

[potent cloak]

only if u ex minute spike / ex 214K at the end but yes all these can have dp as an ender after the ex

If you’re in a weird screen positioning you’ll get side switch tho

w/ ex minute spike

[timber imp]

ah yeah true true this is 0.5 with EX 236P into 6K

[timber imp]

yeah I've seen that happen but I'm starting to get the feel for when that will happen

Thanks!!!

[potent cloak]

Ofc no problem

@shrewd obsidian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6extGl38vo This Yuri was applying that pressure fr

I only watched the first minute so idk what happens after

[shrewd obsidian]

Word I’ll check it out. Just got some tech to steal from another Yuri player today as well

Appreciate this

[dapper bramble]

no problem. This player really knew the attack proximity of each of the normals and how to continue their onslaught even when seemingly out of range, making the most of her space. Was very cool to watch. Smothered the Robert

[dire bear]

I stole tech from Chris g spam Far B with with Yuri into 3D LOl

[shrewd obsidian]

I saw that too it works good. Can also demon flip grab if it catches a hop

[dire bear]

It works perfectly must try that and with ex demon flip for more pressure

Im using Yuri more my team for this month is Yuri whip and Ryo and sometimes Beni XD

[dapper bramble]

dangerous ass team

[warm raptor]

https://youtu.be/FRFgebHIYoY @nova mango

I expect you to know all of them in a day

Naw but just have one for mid screen, one for low hit confirms and one from corner

[nova mango]

Thx

[shrewd obsidian]

Yuri mirrors are so dumb and I mean that in the nicest way possible. “Ayaaa!”

[dapper bramble]

@calm hamlet I saw this was about to expire from my channel. The last time me and Howl played, it seemed much further away than two months ago. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1755988386

[shrewd obsidian]

Dude I looked on my channel the other day and everything was expired and gone. Was like shit

[dapper bramble]

At first I was downloading all of my clips but it takes too long and I forgot to get a lot of them.

I have a lot of clips from my first streams I may put them on Youtube but they are hours long

[shrewd obsidian]

Gonna have to bust out an edit

I think actual clips last forever because those were still up thank god

[dapper bramble]

That Shun Ei clip with the Heidern punish

[dapper bramble]

Yep I have the clips from when I first joined the server. Mostly around December last year

rest of em are gone

[shrewd obsidian]

Lost my proof that I picked Yuri before the buffs smh

[shrewd obsidian]

Yupp and the O Yash RQ

[dapper bramble]

I see Elizabeth, Chris, ofc Shun.. where is she

@rapid crow had the NakoRurururu

This was a party match actually

[warm raptor]

Might have to post this 1

[shrewd obsidian]

It was a couple days after Christmas

[dapper bramble]

Me and Eljay was playing thats how you know these clips good

ngl @shrewd obsidian I don't remember you playing Chris this much

[timber imp]

It's been two months we're Howless now?

[potent cloak]

I remember smoke Chris

The OG Smoke Chris

I had a chance back then 🤡

[dapper bramble]

I was playing Geese and Yuri like hell

I love it

[shrewd obsidian]

He was first character I tried after getting my first team together

But I did put him on the shelf after Liz came around

[dapper bramble]

nah bro u got the Yuri here I see it

just now

[dire bear]

KOF Olympic games XD

[warm raptor]

I used her frame 1 when I got the game I just couldn’t do dp inputs🤓

[calm hamlet]

Post it on YouTube so it gets saved!!

[dapper bramble]

yeah I think I'll just do this. I already downloaded this

[rapid crow]

Damn I love Nako she just doesn't fit my team 😭

[warm raptor]

Then make her fit bro

[rapid crow]

Someone's gotta be in 4th and I like Whip / Isla / Andy too much. She's probably gonna be anchor on my secondary squad 🤷

[potent cloak]

Khris team is actually very good has great synergy

It’s also a team I cannot beat 🤭😳

[dapper bramble]

was about to say, can be a backup point or whatever but you got it figured out already

[shrewd obsidian]

Bro you ain’t lying. Just played a named player and holy fuck that character is scary

[dire bear]

Nãko os weird and really unsafe In a lot of places but she has good speed and nice mix

[dire bear]

Thaysa s reset

But with a meaty cause the hold punches for Ryo in the corner with reset will meaty then you can follow up with Punch to start a combo

Compilation of my best/funniest ranked clips:

[ruby raven]

That read on Ash though

[dire bear]

Those random super at the start are so amazing

Because people always want so start with special or a backdash depends on the player

Then they think they are getting random hit no bro sometimes random is the best strategy of course don t abuse that much

https://youtu.be/ZQEwVSTYqTc

I feel like I have room to grow from here. @vestal ravine is this what you meant by pressure from lights, or am I off the mark?

[vestal ravine]

LMAO I love the title. I'll give this a watch later in the afternoon and give you my two cents

[timber imp]

I watched just the very beginning, and man, your Clark is a wall

[shrewd obsidian]

This is why I also mix in the round “stand there menacingly for a second”. Stole it from daru fair and square

[pure lark]

Appreciated. I've been getting used to using 5A/2A to stop hard charges in their tracks, such as the Andy elbow or the Maxima charge or j.B/hop.B as a defensive air-to-air more. Combined with the low confirms I've been starting to mix in, he's feeling more complete as a KoF fighter as opposed to just a grappler.

Jeeeeeesus Kyo looked so strong in 02. Damn.

Those crossups were sick

I don't think he can do that anymore in 15, yeah?

[vestal ravine]

Nice match. Yup! You won a lot of interactions and they kept backing off, once you got a heavier hit into your confirms, it was nicely done

Still a little passive for my liking but much better

[pure lark]

Yeah. Idk if I know how to play active

[shrewd obsidian]

[shrewd obsidian]

[rapid crow]

Funny enough I already knew this I'm just dogshit at doing it because my entire gameplan for Andy is "fish for something to confirm into the EX elbow like I'm playing Big Bass Hunter"

[shrewd obsidian]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

But for real let’s see you do that kara sequence

[potent cloak]

Bro playing Big Bass Hunter

No don’t do the Kara

I don’t want to learn the matchup

[rapid crow]

God he's so good at the spacing with the light elbow

I'm trying to do it more because it's such a good movement option

[potent cloak]

It’s funny when they start memeing in that video

[rapid crow]

Gotta be careful doing it multiple times in a row though. I've labbed it and its VERY easy to accidentally super

Because his fireball super is 2363214A/C and his elbow cancel into fireball is 236C > 214A/C so if you flub it you're raw dogging a full bar super in neutral like Rait on Maxima

[shrewd obsidian]

That’s what I meant by “little something for everyone” 😭

Plus Maxima I mean c’mon

Thank you! It's still in beta so the end product will be even better! So far the only issues I've had are with some of the sound mixing rather than the performances. Everyone sounds amazing!

Damn, for only 3 bars??

That's pretty clean

[calm hamlet]

2 and half

[nova mango]

Woah, even better

Honestly with Andy, I don't really do any combos except with ex elbow stuff

But I should learn that low reset, that's smooth as hell

[rapid crow]

Yeah TIL 2B > 5B > 5D was that good

[calm hamlet]

I expect to start losing games to both of you now after you learn this

This is the type of messed up toxic resets that @timber imp uses all the time for her characters

[timber imp]

LMFAO
Thank Tricky for the O. Shermie stuff
And Howl for the Angel

[nova mango]

As cool as all of this is, I don't know how often I would even use it since most times I try to save most of my meter for terry or joe

I'd probably use it when I have andy on mid

[timber imp]

Probably use it for the last kill
If you got Andy on mid or anchor, 2.5 bars and fighting your opponent's anchor

[nova mango]

Unless they hold down back lol

[calm hamlet]

Honestly you should. This is how you win games

[nova mango]

Yeah, the Terry Touch has gotten me out of a ton of jams lately

[potent cloak]

[rapid crow]

What's weirder is that I'm now realizing you could do similar things on any character and that's exciting

Unless you’re talking about some neato tech in which case please share

Meant more like "Oh hey that was a cool option to use low normals there on a reset. I should do that on more characters as an oki option"

[calm hamlet]

Oh my! Yeah that’s no fun! I had to do several even though I am below the age requirement as my family has history. The prep is unfun. Also I did mine without anesthesia. It feels exactly how you think it will be lol

The good news is that there is anesthesia after effect so I’m back to normal with a slightly sore bum lol

Ayyy same! My second one. Can't imagine it without anesthesia though haha. I'm just happy to be home and able to eat again

I hope you know I am proud of you

[shrewd obsidian]

Every character has the same base tools so yes

I should do it more too but it’s a risk, we’re trading guaranteed damage + KD for a chance at a new combo

[rapid crow]

I'm so excited haha. Haven't had a meal in like 48 hours. Just got home with a real fat sub and I'm about to smash it lmao

[rapid crow]

I just need to use more low normals instead of fishing for punishes or yolo specials

[vestal ravine]

This is a sick combo for .5 too. Most damaging one I've found as well

Like 40% if you go straight into OH rekka after light kick juggle

[potent cloak]

Does that get a safejump ?

[shrewd obsidian]

As daru would say we have lights for a reason

[pure lark]

i dun have them 4got 2 pay electric bill damn

[shrewd obsidian]

Maybe? I learned recently that even some SKD’s can setup a safe jump

[potent cloak]

I must study

[shrewd obsidian]

Easiest way is to do your combo and then have reversal throws + 4DP. Usually it’s a short hop for the safe jump

Whoever says Kim doesn’t have pressure or answers to the top tiers should check this out

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2-yXdRnE7k

[pure lark]

Really strong corner pressure there, especially vs. Match 1 Athena and match 2 Jenet! Jenet's defense seemed like it shut down a lot of his mid-screen approaches, but he made great defensive calls when he had to, for sure. Forced a bad read by Meitenkun to take it, but wondering just how much that threat of the reversal in the first match set up the defensive play from Brian K in subsequent ones.

[timber imp]

Just watched
Man, I NEED to learn that Angel
Tomorrow I don't have classes, I might take the day to study Angel

[potent cloak]

I’m done with my semester so it’s KOF time until I go on vacation at the end of the month!

https://youtu.be/CMJlT4ybiT4

I can’t wait for 13

[shrewd obsidian]

The first match was basically evened up off a couple reversals, if that isn’t an indictment on how dumb that particular archetype is I don’t know what else could make it clearer. There’s 2 things about Jenet that don’t make sense to me; why did they take away her ability to huehue off backwards jump but keep it off backdash? (which is arguably the bigger issue). Also why do her light normals have like zero pushback lol. There can be a whole character width in between and she can still get 58 light normals off to build meter for a super. Very well played by Striker

[nova mango]

Is this a good terry light bnb?

[dapper bramble]

subtle flex bro. You're coming in hella strong

[nova mango]

Thx man, I'm putting in the lab time for sure

[potent cloak]

Yes

[potent cloak]

https://youtu.be/_2V01YRMPag

[timber imp]

COOL
Very strong, specially since you play him anchor, you're gonna have a lot of bar to actually do that with.
As a suggestion, can't you QM after the normal after 2B, 2A?
With enough bar, you could turn a 2B into like 70% damage no?

I couldn't recognize the normal
Lol
Was it 6A?

[pure lark]

I think that one is 3C. 6As the backfist

[timber imp]

I didn't even know Terry had a 3C

Lmao

[nova mango]

Yes, but in order to get the 70% qm off lights, you need to do the 4 bar version, and 4 bars for 70% is a but much when 4 bars usually nets about 80%

[nova mango]

3C

[timber imp]

Welp, if you have the bar and the opponent only has like 75% or something, I think it's worth it

[nova mango]

And also, after doing the 2 bar light bnb, I found out that you can actually do an OTG ex dunk for an extra 40 damage

[nova mango]

Style points for sure

[timber imp]

Also, you got 50% for two bars
2 exes and 1 lv1 super
Maybe doing a QM after the 3C is easier to confirm and might be able to do the same damage?

[nova mango]

Idk, I've got different routes for different levels of bar and how much health the opponent is at.
(Without jump-ins)
Meterless bnb: 29%
1 bar bnb: 41%
2 bar bnb: 52%
2.5 bar bnb: 56%
2 bar light confirm: 45%
2.5 bar light confirm: 50%
3 bar qm: 70%
4 bar qm: 81%
3 bar qm light confirm: 62%
4 bar qm light confirm: 71%

[timber imp]

I should probably do a chart like this for my mains
Lmao

[nova mango]

Yeah the main ones I go for are my 2.5 bar bnb, 2 bar light confirm, and my 4 bar qm

[pure lark]

I do this as well, yee

Except, like, a spreadsheet with different tabs for meter values

[potent cloak]

[timber imp]

LOL
This seem specially helpful for Angel...
So many combos and possibilities of combos

[pure lark]

Indeed! Idk Angel too well, but this could be a great tool for finding the optimal setups, situations, or damage

[calm hamlet]

I just default to one or 2 combos to lessen the mental burden

[shrewd obsidian]

Idk the routing but Terry has a nice QM for just the 2 bars does like 45% maybe more

[shrewd obsidian]

Same. Midscreen, corner and super cancel plus there’s usually some overlap somewhere in there

Ima watch this shit

[dire bear]

The video we all need

To fight luna shernie XD

[shrewd obsidian]

Again?

[nova mango]

Yeah

[shrewd obsidian]

Makes me wonder who else can do this

[pure lark]

Who else has supers that combo from anywhere juggles?

That also connect to other supers? (so I think Dinosaur and O Yash are out)

[shrewd obsidian]

The wall bounce off a SS grants normal juggles no need for the anywhere

Wait maybe I misunderstood

Seems like Ryo Robert Yuri Kyo Iori should all be able to do this since blue max has universal start up

[pure lark]

Kyo definitely yee

[covert dirge]

Starting my bnbs with jC is making me PERFECT the CPU!!! Whoooaaahooaaa

[covert dirge]

I added some jump C's in the mix, now look at Maxima go! 😂

[shrewd obsidian]

Stoked for you man

[shrewd obsidian]

@spark tendon yo do you know of any videos that actually break down and explain the Shun reset off 6B? All I can find are swag videos showing it off with no elaboration

I can do it into 2B just fine but when I delay the 6B > delayed 236D the C air elbow never comes out in time. Always whiffs :/ Any help appreciated!

[spark tendon]

i learned it off watching sets personally, so idk if theres any videos

[shrewd obsidian]

Yeah I see Excelancer doing it a lot

[spark tendon]

yeh

i just figured it out through trial and error

[shrewd obsidian]

Am I pressing C immediately following the delayed 236D?

[spark tendon]

no ur slightly delaying it too iirc

[shrewd obsidian]

Feels like no matter how fast I go it doesn’t have enough time to come out before Shuns feet touch down

[spark tendon]

it hits at the height, its just strict, again delay the 6B as close to the ground as itll go

[shrewd obsidian]

Ok thanks will keep at it

[potent cloak]

YAAAAAAY new persona video

[calm hamlet]

Now I need to spectate you vs bubbles for the sf6 beta

I’m sure bubs has the chun combos already

[potent cloak]

These combos went hard

[dapper bramble]

I need to learn some combos

Imma hop on there later

Cause yesterday I was playing I legit just did whatever confirm I could think of. Tried to do EX a few times

[calm hamlet]

Yeah I can tell you were just doing the basic stuff (which was enough to destroy me), but that won’t work against bubs or howl

[dapper bramble]

SF legacy players

[calm hamlet]

Howl just told me he’s dropping juri

[dapper bramble]

More Juri for me then

I was really just playing her just cause, but she cool. Gonna play Cammy regardless though

[calm hamlet]

All the cammy simps hehe

[potent cloak]

This is classic howl

[calm hamlet]

Need more Honda/blanka/dhalsim simps

[potent cloak]

I think it’s gonna be hard to find someone to simp for Dhalsim ever sjhdbdbdbdb

Malding over Dhalsim tho….

Geese voice Too Easy…

[calm hamlet]

I mean there are some dedicated dhalsim pros

[potent cloak]

Everyone hates the character always tho

[calm hamlet]

Trying to figure who else will be the least played

[potent cloak]

Luke maybe haha

[dapper bramble]

I like her in the other SF games I’ve played she’s pretty easy and all rounder. Imma play a lotta characters maybe who knows

[dire bear]

Dhalsim or e Honda will be least played unless Dhalsim or Honda are top tier then everyone will main them

[dire bear]

Luke is broken XD

[lime cradle]

I'm a Honda and Blanka simp

I forgot they will be in the game

I mained Honda in IV

@light pine @dapper bramble

[timber imp]

First of all, loved the editing
Thank you for cutting out the round starts and finishes, loading screens and victory quotes!

And now to the matches
I'll be writing while I watch, so I don't forget anything
@light pine
First match, Zero just bullied you with Iori. I'd say that's normal, I've been bullied by his Iori more than I could count tbh.
He showed you first hand LOTS of methods on offense and how to approach opponents. Consecutive hops, run up 2B, using CD for corner carry, safe jumps after the combos, air to airs...
Ok, Iori can do all of that exceptionally well, but these are techniques every char can do to an extent.
Fighting Zero's Iori is extremely hard imo, I tend to search for ways to stop his pressure.
Usually, just block all you can until he uses a special, probably fireball. Those are minus, and you can interrupt whatever he tries to do after it. If you have a DP, use it, as it can interrupt most pressures. Just don't abuse it, so the opponent won't bait you for it.
Another thing to think about is GC rolling. As a rule, any character that finishes their blockstrings with a fireball can be punished with a full combo after GC rolling. That's how Heidern finished your Sylvie on the first match, and is a good idea against Iori, since the recovery on his fireball is abnormally large.
Specifically against Zero, you might've noticed when you used Sylvie against him, but he likes to DP your pressure. You did well in punishing most of his DPs and that's how you got his Iori. Be mindful of that when you're pressuring him, use the safe jumps and baits, true blockstrings without gaps are also a must.
I guess that's it for the first match
Gonna watch the second

For Shingo, I noticed you never mix up your approaches. You either Shingo Kicku or just try to hop foward. It's an amazing thing that you can hop consistently, I only learned that few weeks ago. But you did MUCH better with Kukri, because you used his sweep, his fireballs, you didn't finish them, but you got some good 2B, 2A, 5A confirms that could've been a good combo.
I'd just tell you to stop using his super out of combos so much. Maybe it works and is good on blockstrings as it's plus on block, but just out of the blue like that, you got punished both times you tried. I think Cherry only does it after certain blockstrings or maybe jump in? Can you cancel into it from a blocked j. C or D? I think I remember something of the sort. I pressed after it, thinking I could punish and ate a full combo lmao
Still, you did much better with Sylvie. You used safe jumps, baited Iori DP, good combos, 2B hit confirms...
I'd just tell you to avoid finishing your blockstrings on fireball. 214A is safe on block, even tho minus, but is a true blockstring that you can use. And 214C is plus, allowing you to continue Sylvie pressure, but can be interrupted if you do it too much and the opponent knows when to interrupt. Still, I personally find it a much better blockstring ender than fireball, specially considering that fireball got you killed on the first match. Outside of that, Zero just killed you with his Heidern pressure that I'm still figuring out. That Heid j. C is dirty...

Third match
Doing better with Shingo
Some good CDs, and anti air far Ds
Almost got Iori, so I see it as a victory
But third match is very much like the first one, you just got caught up by Iori pressure and couldn't get out

[light pine]

Just to point something out really quickly, I'm not trying to end my block strings in super with Kukri, it's a really bad flubbed input

[pure lark]

Such is life

[timber imp]

Fourth match
Not Iori, but same thing. Some good interactions there with Shingo, specially the low rekka from a good distance. But again, got caught in K9 pressure and died.
Kukri did very well tho, got some good 2A confirms, but you didn't convert out of any of those. Even when you got a clean jump in to punish K9 fire, you just did one hit of Cl. C, 6A and fireball. Hardly a big combo. With bigger combos out of those, you could've killed K9 without having taken so much damage. You still killed him tho, so you did well.
Also did good against Heid, got some fireballs, stopped his hops with 5A, and guarded against his standing lows. But you wake up supered a safe jump, ate a full combo and died to run up cmd throw. I hate that run up cmd throw, I forget Stormbringuh even is one...
Still, did very well tho imo with Kukri
Sylvie just got bullied in the corner by Heid pressure. You got a good GC roll and an auto combo punish that you didn't finish. For Sylvie, her auto combo is VERY good. You can do AAAB, 623B, supers. Very damaging and leads to safe jump. But you didn't even finish the auto combo, just did AAA and got back to being bullied

[light pine]

Oh, so I just assumed like auto combos are really bad since how they scale and everything

And the bad punish with Shingo happened because I did NOT believe in it hitting

[timber imp]

Fifth match
Shingo got bullied in the corner, I'd tell you to be careful about K9 standing lows, but I get it, it's unpredictable.
You did get out of it tho, and started pressuring him back, you even got him past the midscreen and almost into the corner, but instead of pressing more after a knockdown, you decided to back jump. Idk if you were expecting wake up DP, which you always should against K9, but back jump is not the way to bait that. Just get out of throw range and block, but stay close so you can try to continue pressuring even if he doesn't DP.
He came back to pressuring you after you jumped back and killed you for it.

Kukri is doing very well, but same as the other matches. You know what to do with him, you get some clean 2B or 2A punishes and jump ins, this time you even punished a DP, but you didn't get one full combo out of any of those opportunities, and died because you let K9 alive with like 5% his health, so he pressured you and you fell for the Cl. D overheads
Sylvie did well punishing his roll with a normal throw. Got a good hop in the beginning of the round and I agree with the decision of NUKING Heidern. I don't take chances with that Heidern...
Good pressure tho, some good CDs into the tackle, and the 236D. Made a fast job out of Heid, that makes me happy to see.
YOU WON!!!!!!
AMAZING round with Sylvie. You took his pressure well, didn't fall for Iori bs, interrupted, hopped over his sweep, got a full combo, safe jump and killed him.
AMAZING

I think I wrote too much already
Haven't even finished the video, but I wanna play rn
Hope I helped!

Lmfao

[light pine]

@timber imp thanks for a analysis, I assume K9 is Krohnen?

[timber imp]

YES
I still call him that because that's how we called K9999 back on the arcades

We also called him K49, or Akira
Lmfao
But K9 is easier to say and type

[light pine]

Wanted to make sure because I've heard K' called K dash and nameless so like I wanted to make I had it right

[potent cloak]

Nameless is a diff guy

he’s the K9999 replacement from 02UM that never was a replacement in the end

[late swan]

That a first to me

Usually people call K' by his name not nameless lmao

[pure lark]

I've literally never heard anyone call him Nameless since that's a completely different character

[light pine]

I swear to you I've heard the name used in TNS

[late swan]

Was Khronen on the screen as well?

If anything Nameless's theme was probably playing in the background

[light pine]

https://youtu.be/pPJfr8jJCV4

Alright it's been edited better, I think the brightness problem is definitely just an HDR thing, I'm sorry about it I guess I'll have to turn it off in game

As always any comments would be useful and if you have a lot to say I'm totally okay with a voice chat or anything like that

[rapid tree]

I was getting away with so much 🤣

Next time we play we gonna do training mode

[light pine]

I've been waiting to do training mode for so long since all I do lab combos and rarely block strings

[shrewd obsidian]

Random guard and practice both at the same time

[light pine]

I have to ask, I thought block strings, confirms, and frame traps and the like are all different things? Or at least I assumed it is and that's how I practice it

[late swan]

Yeah generally blockstrings are air tight meaning their is no gap in them

So if they to press a button or jump out they get hit

[pure lark]

Blockstrings: yeah, airtight strings of attacks with that at worst leave you, like, -3 and/or out of range of any counterpokes when they're done (the string is safe on block, ergo blockstring)
Confirms: openings that have forking routes which can either lead to hits (i.e. hit confirms) or, if blocked, blockstrings
Frametraps: An attack or string which leaves you plus on block such that if your opponent mashes afterward they eat a hit. It can be a followup to a blockstring, but not always.

So the way you'd practice that with Random Guard is the following:

• Start with an opening (ex with Sylvie: 2B xx 5B xx 6B)
• If the attack hits vs. Random Guard, you go into a full combo (ex with Sylvie: 2B xx 5B xx 6B xx 214AC xx 6A xx 214C xx dp.D/qcf.B)
• And if it's blocked, you go into a blockstring (ex with Sylvie: 2B xx 5B xx 6B xx 214A)
  +++ And if you wanna practice frametraps, you set the training dummy to reversal mash a fast light button on block and then see if your next attack can counter their mash before it comes out. (ex with Iori: dp.BD xx 2A) Since the dp.BD is +2 on block, Iori's 2A has 4 frames of startup, and the fastest light normals ALSO have 4 frames of startup, this setup beats opponents who try to mash lights on block.

@full oak do you mind if I share a few matches from our last set with key data enabled? I need input on what I should focus on.

There's a lot, but like, what specific things I should focus on

[full oak]

Go ahead, I'm a known masher 😂

[timber imp]

I'll try my best to give good advices
Lol

[pure lark]

Can anyone tell me why I'm so bad? There's definitely something about this game I'm not getting, it feels like. Like, am I not pressing preemptive buttons enough? Am I not making the right reads? Is my approach to the game completely wrong? I'm trying to create more opportunities and press more on offense, but it feels like I am incredibly ineffective at doing so.

https://youtu.be/cOEhbH9Be-A

[pure lark]

Only if you want to. Don't feel obligated. It's a long list of shit that needs to be worked on

[timber imp]

Before I even watch it, I have to say
I didn't win ONE set against Rise today
I think I only got 2 matches against him the whole day today
Maybe you have the same problem as Tyler
You're online when the killers are killing
Most of the times I see you're playing, it's against me or some other killer

[pure lark]

Well. I'd like to play folks who are stronger than I am.

That's the only way I'm going to learn

[timber imp]

Agree!
I completely agree
Which is why I love fighting Daru and Tiago so much
These two wipe the floor with me
Lmfao

But you have to mind the fact that you're probably gonna get washed when you fight a stronger opponent
I don't think I ever went in a serious match against those monsters expecting to win

Best I hope for is Tiago's gf helping me
Lmfao

[late swan]

Bro @full oak is you're controller ok?

I'm still on the first match and like every input is like 20 buttons being pressed lmao

[timber imp]

LMFAO
Rise is the evolution of Rait

[pure lark]

The real reason I don't want you to help is I can't repay you, and I feel super guilty taking things. I'm not good at reviewing matches. I can't offer input. And it creates this weird power imbalance where I'm always going to feel indebted to you if you offer help on Iori

That's the reason

[late swan]

Like their is no reason to mash 2A like that LMAO

[timber imp]

LMFAO
Why not tho?

[late swan]

Because double tapping is more than enough

I can't imagine the connection between them is bad either

[timber imp]

I can't speak for zero, and I can't help much with Iori
But with whatever I can help you with, you really don't need to pay back nor feel indebted
You're a cool guy, your friendship and some sets every now and then are already all I could want
🙂

[late swan]

Like you know you can do button hold trick for supers and special moves right @full oak

[timber imp]

OK
Gonna watch
Lol
I'll be writing round by round so I don't forget anything
So expect big texts

[late swan]

Light punch and light Kick is all you need to tech from the ground not all this

[late swan]

You don't have to pay me with anything

[timber imp]

LMFAO
WTF EVEN IS THIS

And it's not a macro
Cuz there are some inputs with just 3 buttons

[late swan]

as long as you are willing to learn that is more than enough to "repay" me

[timber imp]

Sorry
I am just laughing a lot because I've never seen so many buttons in one screen

[late swan]

You'll notice it once he gets knockdown

Just mashing on all 4 buttons when their is no reason to lmao

[calm hamlet]

It works for him and gets him wins

[late swan]

Like I don't wanna come of as mean but just learn to relax with your inputs

If you mash like that in the wrong place it's gonna get you killed

[full oak]

I do it until I die lmfao

If I don't get punished for it, I have no reason to stop

[late swan]

I guess that's one way of looking at

Look see it just happened

You pressed and got hit for it

their was no reason to in that situation

just calm down and block lol

[full oak]

Got hit because its my 3rd time fighting delores

Not gonna sit and block something if I don't know its real

I'll try literally every option in the game before I just block

Gotta make me a believer

I.e. in the SF6 beta

[timber imp]

Round 1
Sylvie and Shingo
I'm not paying attention to Rise, so I'm focusing on your inputs, Lou
First thing I noticed is a lot of times you have your controller down, like no buttons being pressed and the stick on 5
Letting it go when your char is doing an attack or smt is ok, but in neutral?
Always do something. If you don't wanna move, hold down back. Buffer stuff, like a DP
Neutral hop, walk back, walk a bit foward
Even if you are not trying to actually move foward or backwards, never just let your stick rest on 5 in neutral
I find it much harder to react and block when your opponent does something
Plus, buffering stuff helps reacting with them
I find it hard af to do a full DP on reaction from neutral
But if you're already moving foward or down foward when your opponent jumps...
Easy DP
She did well against Shingo imo
She lost, but caused good damage
You got one jump in that you didn't convert from, and one combo that you dropped
Those things could've net you some good damage and make all the difference in a close match
But then again, all in all, you did well
Good DPs, some bad reads but who never, you pressured relatively well, got out of the corner when Shingo put you there...
Solid round imo

[late swan]

See you got hit again for pressing

[full oak]

People were getting caught by Ken's Jinrai 50/50 without realizing you can legit just DI between the 1st and 2nd kicks

[late swan]

Lou was to far away for you to just slug it out in the corner

[timber imp]

Round 2
Iori did well in the beginning, some good fireballs and I'm proud of you for running up and 2B
But you made two mistakes here that led Shingo to get in and pressure you to death
First, ending your strings in fireball. Don't, if your opponent GCs, you'll get full punished. Rise didn't GC, but even then, you're so minus he had time to block and hop or shingo kicku his way in. Second thing, mid pressure, when Shingo was hitting your guard, you tried pressing 2B and 2D to stop him depending on his distance. Which is good, these buttons work a lot for checking dashes and run ups, but Rise was hopping and jumping and Shingo Kickuing a lot, so throwing low normals only opened you up for his big damage combos that killed your Iori.
You have to pay attention to your opponent. If Rise is hopping a lot during pressure, you should be mashing 2C or some other button to stop him, not a low. Shermie 2C is weird now tho, you have to predict and press kinda early. O. Shermie can still 2C on reaction...

Also
Reversals...
Doing them is fine, they do save us sometimes
But wake up EX DP is predictable when you have low health. If you didn't do it during the match when you had the life lead or at least more than 50%, they'll expect you to do it some hits away from death.
I say do it mid round, cuz when you don't in the end, they'll have respected your wake up and you'll have a chance to comeback

[late swan]

Ok so for @pure lark

1. work on your anti airs a lot times rise just full jumped or shingo kicked from fullscreen try to air to air him or just dp which ever you feel comfortable
   2.Obviously your confirms need work so just go into training set the the cpu for random guard so you can practice getting the hit
2. Try not to wake up grab/dp on wake up to much, calm down and just block see what kind of opponent you're dealing with
3. one good thing you showed that you stopped doing unnecessary rolls in neutral I think I only saw 1 from you and then for the rest of the set you didn't do that kind of roll again (unless I missed one)

I don't have much to say for rise because it be like beating a dead horse at this point

Luna will give you guys more detailed explanations so I'd say pay attention to those as well

[timber imp]

Round 3
Dolores vs Shingo
Rise is abusing you from the air
He hops a lot, full jumps, Shingo Kickus, and you were respecting it all
And not even respecting, you were pressing low buttons to check for dashes that Rise didn't even bother trying to do.
You also got some missed opportunities, like a run up Cl. C that could've been a good combo
But it didn't matter much, you disposed of Shingo right after.

[timber imp]

LMFAO
Cmon, give Rise some slack
He beat us all up today

[late swan]

I can't when their wasn't proper back and forth

[timber imp]

I went there all confident
Main Team
Thinking I was gonna dominate the room
Nah, I lost every match
Lmfao

[late swan]

RIse won in the end because he took advantage of Lou's playstyle so he was allowed to slug it out and get the wins

I'll have another watch through to make sure

But I really can't say much lmao

[timber imp]

Round 4
Dolores VS Geese
I have to comment his Geese worked more than he should against me today
Rise has some good adaptation skills, he read me like a book today
I must've been distracted by Geese's chest tho
LMFAO

Honestly, not much to comment about this round. Geese jumped, did some rekkas, air fireballs, big damage, good pressure
Lou just had the same problems as with Shingo. Some missed confirms, few anti airs, didn't punish his overhead rekka ender...
Basically the same

I'll watch all the rest and make some small comments now
I think I don't have many details to talk about much more tbh

I just noticed Lou also doesn't dash and run much unless full screen
From mid range, you mostly walked foward, jumped or hopped to try to get in
All the times you just ran up and 2B or Cl. C weren't from neutral, but from oki
You did it when pressuring, not to get in
You should do both

@pure lark
I'm gonna be really honest with you

You are not bad
Not a bad player at all
Ofc, we all have things to work on, and you say you're a slow learner
But everyone has their own rhythm
And you should be proud of your accomplishments
You controlled your rolling before I did
You rolled well those matches, I've seen you get punished for it once, and you did roll whenever you needed to, you didn't stop completely and neglected rolling.

You didn't stop Rise's hopping and jumping, had some missed opportunities for big damage, but yet you did get him to his anchor and almost killed him once

When you first got in here, I was one of the first people you fought. And remember what I said? I only got you because I knew how to counter Shermie
Your Dolores is amazing, it shows that you know the char well
And I saw A LOT of myself in you
The way we play wasn't that different
So you have potential to be a killer
You just need to improve slowly, at your pace, one thing at a time
Focus on your confirms, get them good, get those big combo opportunities and turn them into fucking 80% damage combos
Your neutral is not bad, just focus on adapting more to your opponent. If you only had pressed 2C instead of 2D every time you did it, results might've been much different
You know what to do in neutral, you just had problems adapting to the situations you were put in

And maybe try to listen to some music while playing, so you feel more positive and inspired
I feel like your emotional gets in your way a lot

Remember we're always here to help

[pure lark]

@timber imp and @late swan , I appreciate the insight and for yall taking you time to write out your reaponses and analyze the matches. I think a lot of the issue is, yeah, I haven't been playing characters with dp options in the past, so I've been unable to express those well. Clark does air-to-airs. Shermie and Dolores do 2C. Anti-hop buttons for the rest are 5A. To that end, it looks like my main focuses this week should be

• I need to learn the ranges better so I can anti-air more effectively
  -- and then make the anti-air reads
  -- this could also help bolster defensive measures (backdash into qcf.A with Dolores, dash under with Iori into a low profile punish, etc.)
• practice confirms vs. Random guard
  -- AND work on hitting them or playing intentionally in matches
• stop pushing buttons on wakeup unless its to hit a reversal and ONLY when I have a read

[timber imp]

Also @pure lark
Do you WANT to main Iori?
I'd tell you to start focusing on char specific stuff
You're already past the fundies stuff imo

It's ok if you can't do a DP on reaction to a hop if your main chars don't even have a DP input.
Shermie does tho, 623B is amazing to stop hops on reaction if you actually have the reaction time to do it

Training DPs won't help you much if when you play Clark you have to do something else entirely

Yeah I think figuring out a main team so be a top priority as well

So you aren't bouncing around

Plus, even if you can consistently do those DPs, sometimes, in the heat of a match when you can't have room for error, 2C is the way to go

Agreed. When you spread yourself thin, it’s difficult to focus and remember the character specific things.

It’s always good to have a grounded normal aa to compliment a dp for fast-paced situations.

Just watched the video but I haven’t read everyone’s comments so if I repeat something it’s not because I’m trying to dogpile. Here’s what I noticed:

-DP’s are for AA, really gotta cut back on the wake up stuff. I do it too and die for it. Best to just block low

-I thought your neutral was good, you played at good spacing for your buttons and generally moved with a purpose

-That said, unfortunately there were too many times you got a hit or 2 and didn’t convert. KOF is super unforgiving on this. I’ve seen you post pages and pages of routes, you’re very likely overloading yourself. One combo for midscreen and one for the corner. Add meter if you want or can. That’s it that’s all

-Get into the habit of checking their lifebar and your meter periodically and know what you will do before you get the touch. If you try and decide after the hit it’s too late

-This is more MU specific to who you were playing against, but SS blows mashing/no blockers the fuck up. Know a SS route for all your characters

-GCBB in the corner when under heavy pressure. Didn’t see this at all

-Stop rolling forward. That’s not a thing. Replace every time you want to do this with 5A or blocking; it’s the only way to break a habit, have to replace it with something else. You’ll lose to sweep but will cover a lot of stuff. Also, fun fact if we get swept (outside of the corner) it’s our turn

Hope this helps. I think part of it is the new characters, so try and relax your expectations for a bit. That said, you are better than you give yourself credit for @pure lark

I don’t like the eye roll emoji at the end of my post so I’ll leave this here instead
