    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Gamma Blade (ironically enough, given the character in question in this thread) is another example; +5 at point blank, 15f startup, and I don't think anyone has ever called that move "broken". The fact that assists fill a character's holes are exactly WHY damage is more important in an...

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Even without FRCs, GGXX has a few. Venom's Stinger Aim and Carcass Raid, Testament's "forward" EXE Beast, Johnny's coins, and some of Dizzy's shit. Add FRCs, and... yeah. (Also, isn't Jin's A Ice Blade in BlazBlue +1? It's been ages since I touched that game...) (Oh, and your own game has...

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    As an actual pixie she's pretty damn bad given that her actual movement speed isn't terribly fast and her "alpha blade"-like move needs meter to do anything good, and the ground version is always awful, and her projectile is horribly minus on block. (Also, I didn't pick her because I wanted a...

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    For those who want it in real notation, it's: (whatever hitconfirm) -> c.hp -> jump cancel -> j.hp ADC j.mp -> j.hp Land and rejump j.lp -> j.mp -> j.hp adc j.mk -> j.hk Land and dash s.lpx3 -> s.mpx2 -> c.mk -> s.hkx3xxBypassxxFlatliner

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    "High damage", doesn't even break 7K. That's second worst damage in the game. The only other character that can't easily break 7K for one bar is Parasoul.

    I don't know what that image has to do with anything, but the alt-text under your avatar is an amazing song. Celtic Frost really did still have it after they came back.

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Every single character in the game other than Parasoul can do that (and more...), so yes (maybe Para can too, with good tear toss combos?). If you always just rejump, there's so much dumb shit you can be killed by it's ridiculous. Every time you don't rejump, if your opponent blocks (and they...

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Former Val player (yes, I've finally dropped her permanently, for Eliza) reporting. Let's start with the one thing that's good about Val: Val's reset game is utterly fucking terrifying -- on par with Filia's, possibly scarier. Best ground throw in the game, and j.mp ADC vs. Fastfall means...

    ...Ewww. What prompted this experiment?

    ...Josh's struggle to not suck...

    With your team, you can do something better; HK~MPxx236lp will give you s.HK with an assist call plinked into it. Do that with Drillationship, and it's + on block and on hit, you can easily confirm, dash forward, and convert into a full combo with s.lp.

    Random LK Osiris Spiral Question

    I thought SSJ had 2 frame startup? L Spiral is -2 on block, so that should hit, shouldn't it?

    Fun fact: 4hk is actually slower than 6lp. As I said, you're not reacting to the animation. You're reacting to the dash -> pause and rhythm-blocking, and the spacing is giving it away. You don't have those tells on 4hk, since its range is a little longer and it's usually chained into.

    Night Phyre's Easy-Mode Combo Flowchart (for Cerebella)!

    The j.hp restand works easily on everyone if you wait to touch j.lp until you can confirm that you're in the air (aim for about half-way up the jump), hit it rhythmically three times slowly, and plink the j.hp on the last touch of j.lp. There's a video of this upthread a bit. The j.mp -> j.hk...

    Random LK Osiris Spiral Question

    No blockstring is ever truly "safe" against PBGC, though.

    Random LK Osiris Spiral Question

    It's safe against anyone other than Band. Band can punish it with SSJ; no one else has a guaranteed punish against it.

    http://labzerogames.com/iheartteyah/MilliaBlocker_v0.3.swf Oh, BTW, Skullgirls has frameskip, GGXX doesn't, so Skullgirls 20 frames is equivalent to 17 frames in that test. You're not reacting to that. Parasouls 6lp isn't blocked on reaction; you're able to block it because there's other...

    QCF. It generally auto-corrects, even if you cross over them by a little bit.

    ...Josh's struggle to not suck...

    Cancel the air bypass to Scalpels, not Flatliner. Air Scalpels are safe on block, and on hit lead to a full combo.

    I made a level for Doom 2, and you should play it

    Final version is up on the /idgames archives! I've uploaded the download links in the OP, but if here it is again: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?file=levels/doom2/Ports/g-i/impoffer.zip There's a lot of little differences between the previous version and this version -- minor bugfixes and...
