    Street Fighter 4

    if we're talking about ryu then all of those combos work but certain ones won't work at every range e.g. you need to be in throw range for cr.mp cr.hp to link cr.lp and cr.mp are both +5 on hit so either is a 1f link into sweep s.fp isn't cancellable but p.sure he's talking about sps, 6HP/f.hp...

    Valentine Combo Thread

    you can get the same combos to work on squigly by delaying your aerials and letting your airdash come out a little bit first -- esp. with j.mp that likes to drop if she's too high since the lower half of her hitbox is so far back just vary the timing to troubleshoot a particular drop, use...

    There's going to be even more visual noise in an actual match that makes the "recognition" part harder also Parasoul would be absurd if not for pushblock

    USA [Jul 11, 2014] Skullgirls Encore EVO 2014 Official Side Tournament (Las Vegas, NV)

    I flew Spirit to UFGT and it ended up being more expensive than a Delta ticket because I was charged $50 each way for a carry on

    Beginner Questions Thread

    you will run into issues using a keyboard with only 3 keys of rollover esp. if you input quickly technically if you use the macro buttons you should only ever have to press 3 keyboard keys at once, but in practice you'll probably experience drops trying to press keys quickly sometimes the...

    Controller/Stick General Questions and Discussion

    everyone I know with one of those pads has had them break every 2-3 months and once you replace a few of them you basically could have gotten a stick for $20 it's not a huge deal, but I'd just recommend playing on a keyboard if that's an option

    Street Fighter 4

    33 doesn't really bother me because I hold 1 any time I don't need a command normal by default having to go to 1 every time after walking forward to avoid getting 626 when doing 236 is incredibly annoying for me though so go figure

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    To test this you can't use the dummy to block You have to record the dummy doing the setup and then try to block the followup yourself If you use the dummy they won't block after a burst because enough time will have elapsed for the "block after one hit" timing to be reset

    Need some advice - blocking, blocking mixups, etc

    This, but I'd say that the majority of defense is prediction rather than reaction The "reaction" part of defense is mostly about noticing what your opponent is doing immediately so that you can adjust Lots of mixups in most fighting games are unreactable You defend well first by minimizing the...

    Another training diary that no one will read or care about

    If you tk bypass into airshow as it's being called you'll always either hit peacock out of it or go under airshow If you're running forward as airshow is called it will always go over you -- you can drop into a grounded block immediately to block things like HP bangs Any time peacock uses HP...
