    j.hk had a pretty good hitbox but it doesnt extend very for horizontally. if you are midscreen you can usually backdash to avoid it if you see it coming soon enough. also try to block it while you are in the air. you should be able to do stuff on the way down from that (im pretty sure). you can...

    you also dont need to play bella to beat big band, you just need to learn what your character can do to beat him. experiment online and in training mode to figure out what you can do to him. chicken block in specific is holding up back.

    another trick i use is if the big band is getting low on life i will call assists and chicken block or just sit there trying to bait out ssj. thats around the time when bbs really start fishing for that big happy birthday. you may lose a lot of life off your assist or the assist all together but...

    id say his worst match up is cerebella. block and punish a lot against bb. its tough sometimes but it works. i also try to bait out random SSJs too by dropping combos safely to see if they are mashing.

    crazy, for once i actually like what isavulpes said... as far as dealing with squigly, as said she is vulnerable to anti airs. with big band you can also wake up SSJ if she is pressing buttons. learning to block is important and very hard for newer players and squigly has some nasty stuff she...

    you can do both, just remember to not get happy birthday'd if using it in neutral and be ready to punish the person for trying to punish your assist.

    Beginner Questions Thread

    if you are using a dragon punch assist like updo the best time to call them is when someone is jumping in on you. drillationship is a bit odd because it doesnt really go upwards but the idea is more or less the same. this will take time and practice to really get spot on. also remember that you...

    sorry to say it happens in a real match. it was that way in MvC2 so mike made it that way in SG. it sounds like a pain but you will get used to it pretty quickly.

    you can still punish it, you just need to wait till the crecopter is almost over then call your assist. basically, make sure the peacock can just super and hit both your point character and assist at the same time. (or worse get a full combo on both)

    wait for him to call his assist then punish with your own, you will get a counter hit and do a lot of damage. watch out for happy birthdays while you do this, though. and be ready to punish him for punishing your assist.

    Beginner Questions Thread

    peacock takes a lot of patience to get in on, especially with a good assist backing her up. wait and look for an opening, you'll take a lot of chip doing so but its still your best chance. hit the assist when you can, even a jab or launch > jump cancel will give the assist extra delay before...

    i know this isnt the feature request thread but to bad im going to do a feature request anyway because its relevant to the recent conversation. 1) how hard would it be to make the undizzy bar change colors when it is over 240? would be a very simple way to see if you are already to far without...

    Spotlight How to Make Fighting Games: Mike Z explains the dos and don'ts

    wave dashing is the act of cancelling a dash (usually with a crouch) to recover from the dash quicker so you can dash again sooner. frame delay is how many frames (how long) it takes the game to do something after given an input. this only really matters for online. frame advantage is how many...
