    Can we as a community teach fundamentals?

    I would say this is quite similar to misdirection for magicians. I guess it's a fourth form of deceit really, instead of conditioning the opponent you mask yourself. As for rhythm I'd rather think of it as timing in general, but I can't think how I'd explain it as a single topic. It plays into...

    Can we as a community teach fundamentals?

    The more I think about it the more I'm seeing this as a huge part of fundamentals (even though I didn't have it on the initial list). I think you could think of it either as one big psychology topic or as understanding your psychology/understanding your opponent's psychology. Or knowing...

    Can we as a community teach fundamentals?

    This is what I'm hoping new players can avoid having to do. Instead of catching up to 20 years of fighting game meta by themselves, hopefully an explanation of what to try to learn while playing could cut it down to like 500 hours or even less.

    Can we as a community teach fundamentals?

    Fighting game fundamentals are this mysterious phenomenon that allow players with them to seemingly bypass the learning process for new games. Why can Chris G and Justin Wong enter in tournaments for games that they don't play and expect to beat an intermediate level player who specializes in...

    Filia is broken

    My bad, I think what I meant was that in either case she'd be safe since she'd either be able to cancel the instant overhead, or have seen the chickenblock with the IAD before ending with j.hk.

    Filia is broken

    This sounds interesting, I'll try to make use of it against filia and see how it does. I do think it's unlikely I'll be able to punish a j.hk with it though. j.hk's main uses are as an instant overhead or as a third overhead in an IAD approach and in either case Filia can cancel it into air dash...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    I don't actually do this myself, but there's a few reasons I can think of. -Incoming Double is as vulnerable as Val defending a reset, if not more so. (unless 5 meter yolo) -If you fail to reset Val and can't lock her down, you're facing the problem in neutral again -If you fail to catch Double...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    I think this is key. We need to work on our scummy incoming mixup game.

    Report MADCATZ To Stream Skullgirls From EVO 2014

    You just need to time the dhc differently. Like dynamo into double's level 3.

    Skullgirls Instant Kills

    Teabagging is when someone vicariously jacks themselves off with a crouch button. I pretty much judge people who do it in public the same way anyway.

    Blood for the Blood Goddess! Eliza BETA Gameplay Discussion

    @Mike_Z Dunno if this is intended or not, but with c.mk you can cancel after the first hit if it's on someone on the ground, but if it catches them out of the air it forces you to wait for the second hit.

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

    It's a pity some of the upsets weren't streamed. Good stuff to Worldjem and NCV for going further then I thought they might. Nice work to Sonicfox and Guitalex for the regicide. Congrats to Dekillsage for the really solid looking grand finals and repping bella/double.
