Yeah, my understanding is that anything made for the PS3 works on PC because it's nothing really proprietary, unlike the xbox. I'm sure someone else could explain better than I could.

Actually the 360 Controllers work without any hassle on PC as long as you have Vista/7, because the drivers for it are already in the OS (to my understanding).

Could be, my assumption was based mostly on my Qanba stick and hearsay about PS3 fightpads, which I have never tried on PC personally. I know that the stick works on PC in PS3 mode, but I don't know how representative that is, because Qanbas have some kind of crazy bootleg dualmod board in them.

I've been playing the Street Fighter games as they've been coming out casually, but about a year ago I decided to focus on super turbo as my main fighting game. The problem is I've really hit a wall.

I can beat everyone I can get my hands on, but none of my combos are that impressive, and I can't get renda canceling to work for the life of me. I suspect it's because I've only seen the more advanced play done with a stick and my native console is the Sega Saturn. I only play the black characters and I can do every part of Balrog's combo into super except getting the canceled medium to super. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Decided to quote this from FreeStepDodge because it just bugs me.

http://freestepdodge.com/threads/dead-or-alive-5-demo-videos.622/page-4#post-10536

quote:

Let's assume for a moment that grapplers are actually very viable in DOA 5, and being high-counter thrown is going to result in at least 50% from some of them, maybe closer to death with some of the environmental insanity going on. It could happen, right?

As the game is programmed currently, if Hayate uses the move in the correct direction he will get a backturned stun and all of that guaranteed damage that goes with it if you know what you're doing. Granted right now im terrible with him and can't combo worth a drat, but i imagine there's gota be around a 50% combo from backstun in open space.

So Hayate and Bass are fighting. Hayate rushes in with 66p or something and it's blocked. He free cancels and is at significant disadvantage. He can still use his sidestep move before any of Bass's really dangerous strikes come out though, and it can give him that 50%+ backturned combo if it lands.if Bass anticipates this, he can throw him back for 50%+ as well. If Hayate knows that Bass knows, he goes to layer 3 yomi and uses his most unsafe, highest launching normal strike for high-counter damage, and gets around the same damage at the end of the combo. if Bass goes to layer 4, he'll use something like 6f+k because he is at advantage and it will go into his air throw for similar results. Hayate could then reset this whole thing and go back to layer 1 using his sidestep move.

So basically, the existence of this move means that the entire match can be played in an entirely minimalistic manner with only the moves i listed above. Others could be used, yes, but once Hayate closes the distance after that first 66P, he can effectively set the terms of the match if he chooses to, and it will probably never leave the 4 moves being used that I described above.

Is there a written Yomi philosophy or is this guy pulling something something huge out of his rear end?

Any decent competitive game needs to allow you to counter the opponent if you know what he will do. What happens, though, when your enemy knows that you know what he will do? He needs a way to counter you. He’s said to be on another level than you, or another “yomi layer.” You knew what he would do (yomi), but he knew that you knew (yomi layer 2). What happens when you know that he knows that you know what he will do (yomi layer 3)? You’ll need a way to counter his counter. And what happens when he knows that you know . . .

I’ll nip that in the bud: there need only be support up to yomi layer 3, as yomi layer 4 loops back around to layer 0. Let’s say I have a move (we’ll call it “m”) that’s really, really good. I want to do it all the time. (Here’s where the inequality of risk/reward comes in. If all my moves are equally good, this whole thing falls apart.) The “level 0” case here is discovering how good that move is and doing it all the time. Then, you will catch on and know that I’m likely to do that move a lot (yomi layer 1), so you’ll need a counter move (we’ll call it “c1”). You’ve stopped me from doing m. You’ve shut me down. I need a way to stop you from doing c1. I need a counter to your counter, or “c2.”

Now you don’t know what to expect from me anymore. I might do m or I might do c2. Interestingly, I probably want to do m, but I just do c2 to scare you into not doing c1 anymore. Then I can sneak in more m.

You don’t have adequate choices yet. I can alternate between m and c2, but all you have is c1. You need a counter to c2, which we’ll call c3. Now we each have two moves.

Me: m, c2 You: c1, c3.

Now I need a counter to c3. The tendency for game designers might be to create a c4 move, but it’s not necessary. The move m can serve as my c4. Basically, if you expect me to do my counter to your counter (rather than my original good move m), then I don’t need a counter for that; I can just do go ahead and do the original move—if the game is designed that way. Basically, supporting moves up to yomi layer 3 is the minimum set of counters needed to have a complete set of options, assuming yomi layer 4 wraps around back to layer 0.

The best use for "Yomi" is to just yell it out as you do something incredibly random, or anything with a whole lot of super armor

Logically, yomi layer 7 loops back around to yomi layer 4 which loops again back to yomi layer 0. It is, in effect, the Super Saiyan Level 2 of yomi.

What if nature knows you're going to bring a jacket so it's cold for a little bit before getting sweltering hot. The solution is yomi layer 9.

It means "read" in Japanese. And yes, you can use it like the English equivalent (as in, to "read" people). The Japanese fgc uses the term too, but it's more "oh man that was such a sick read" and not "that was yomi layer 3."

I guess. It doesn't have any special connotation in Japanese; you might as well just say "wow, that was an awesome read" in English. I mean, there's nothing stopping you from doing it, but then again there's nothing stopping you from calling corner pressure "gamenhashi" and wakeup pressure "okizeme" except it looks dumb in English.
