I went ahead and pasted that into the comments section so he sees it. I think it's the YouTube account for Angel Opportunity

e: Also on a related note, does mashing jab after a block beat even quick command throws because of the 5f throw invulnerability when you're in blockstun?

I watched the thing. Some thoughts below.


Thanks! I didn't realize there was an airdashers thread. I haven't stepped out of my subbed threads in a pretty long time.

Hopefully people will see the pasted comment on my video. I agree with all of your points, and I ALMOST mentioned using 2HS to frametrap if you get the read people are trying to jump out of your pressure. I didn't mention it though because I didn't want to overwhelm more than I already had. After playing a lot in the past few days, I think mentioning tigerknee stun edge as a go-to frametrap is worth doing--I do go over it in my next videos where I'm playing online--as it tends to punish mashing (and a lot of other stuff like dead angles and throw attempts) better than most everything else.

You're probably right about 5k into 2s being a better go-to. I was really looking for the most fool proof and easy to execute frametrap to focus on in the video. I specifically wanted one that did give the feedback of a big, obvious counter-hit with almost no risk for loving up the execution. I think 2p 5HS does make sense for those reasons, but I do realize that it is not as practical or universally good outside the very specific situation of someone who just mashes 2p mindlessly during your pressure. The c.S into 6HS definitely punishes better, but it's really easy to overestimate the execution of newer players.

I'm not really sure why I went with 2p in the video over 5k as an opener for all of these. I really should try using more staggered 5k pressure when I play :D

This one is relatively new, it replaced the Xrd thread as well. Anyway I was excited to see some new videos. Your video on basic Ky Oki was really helpful when I was trying to learn the game at a basic level, and those "hard combo" videos were great when I was trying to learn dustloops. A lot of similar videos are shorter but just sort of fart out the combo notation, but I think it helps to see someone break down where things go wrong, and other non-obvious aspects of xrd

I'm unreasonably sad that Revelator lets you use Stylish mode in ranked matches and won't even let you filter them out. I know I'm just supposed to be playing player matches but I need a mode that just serves up randos who are generally on my level and ranked does that best. Otoh, when I get fed up and take Stylish Potemkin online it's hilarious and fun as hell.

And I had completely forgot about that button. My main complaint was the autocombo-ing and auto blocking. I wouldn't mind so much if it just auto ran through everyones magic series or short practicals and air combos but it also does stuff like giving Pot an auto combo that ends with his anti-air throw AND tacks on the extra damage motion for you and other various tricky combo+special stuff for everyone. Leo and Jam turn into button mash rushdown who get cool mixups and retard easy confirms into supers if the person bothers to look into what they're doing at all.

I should shut up because I'm totally addicted to Ramlethals various gatling p and k combos but it's not my fault those are in technical mode. I do feel like I'm fighting out of my GG league with Ram though sometimes. She feels like a transformer, if I want to play like a slow rear end big hitter I can keep the swords and look for chances to nail the crouching HS or S (to say nothing of how great the jumping and standing versions of HS are for approaching), if I want to rushdown I've got auto chains that end in launchers or whatever the stuck-on-the-wall state is, if I'm feeling myself in rushdown mode I can tack on deployed swords, I can play half way by keeping the HS sword, and switching between any of these isn't hard even without a knockdown. My only big problem is if I get stuck with swords deployed and the other person doesn't let up.

Speaking of Rams, what's the practical ground corner carry into mixup combo for her? I was doing this one but I couldn't find an optimal way to not make the end a gigantic pain in the rear end:

c.S 6P 2D 623P, c.S 623P, c.S j.8D, 66 PPP, 66 f.S 5D6, 5H 5H 6H 66 5H 6S 66 c.S 2D j.2H ...

WELP

In my defense I wasn't griping that it's hard to tell when someones using it because it's not. I just thought it was lame that there was nothing on the intro screens and I'm retarded for not looking in the actual match. It's really easy to tell when someone is using it on my level because it's the only time I'm getting COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER, the combos are always the same and my level is zero so there's not many people comboing much at all.

The noob control mode is like going bowling with bumpers, or biking with training wheels. No one who is even moderately good would consider those things an advantage in a competitive match. People who use that mode are not going to learn the game or how to play properly at all. Maybe they beat you when you are super new and have no idea what's going on, but if you get even moderately good it should be a complete non-issue. Whenever I see that "S" I just roll my eyes, not because I think they're going to have an edge over me, but because I assume correctly that they don't know how to play at all and that the match is a waste of my time.

playing against bad players is a chance for me to see how much sparrowhawk stance a human being can take before they break.

OR alternatively its is usually a good time for me to practice things that I've been working on in training mode that aren't quite ready for primetime. That second thing is really a lot more useful. Still really wanna see if I can double RC with a full meter to get 18 hits of Sparrowhawk in a real match sometime though.
