Ms. Fortune Fukua Filia
So I decided make own little diary right after talking with Yummy Bubbles. Right now he told me that I should learn how to read frame data. Which what I'm gonna try to do again hopefully this time it will be successful. Also talking about disadvantages against other opponents or advantages. This spot is for me to post insight and get help from the lover people here. I am an intermediate player somewhat there are things I lacked. Which is what this journal is about to post my thoughts on my matches get advice from those who have learned the game mechanics fully. For me I did not learn the full game mechanics. I always have just normally just jump into my fighting games and played. Right now the first thing I'm doing while playing as of now frame data and will post my insights on that.
 
Okay so just finished looking two video talking about frame data. So now I'm gonna go into training mode how the frame data with this game works. See what moves I should do at times what I should not do.
 
set it to advanced so that you can see the frame data
I did and fallow the chart just not too long ago from the wikia. I'm starting to get it just need to keep looking at the video and try to applied it to my playstyle. So that this becomes normal to me.
 
Just battle both kira chan and grazzbazz. For kira chan they aren't really a problem battle both in a trio and solo fukua afterwards. I though they might have dc before the battle but I guess a small connection problem there didn't affect me. For grazzbazz I loss to them on the first encounter second encounter got my revenge.
 
Okay just battle vow of silence for the last match of the night. Pretty fine on this one too. Also any advice for using filla she is like the weak link on my team once she is the last person out to be use I suck with her so bad.

Can you be a little more specific?
 
Can you be a little more specific?
Well basically I want to know how to properly do her moves like her hairball and other tech to know. Like what move should I do first basically when starting up combos.
 
learn to instant air dash and jhp that is all
That I need to know? I don't wanna look a like a scrub that only know those two things.
 
Well to be frank you need to learn her movement. start with that... plus i have you on steam so i'll explain more there.
I know that and that more like it will do learning her movements.
 
Okay so battled Not Penny's Boat and lost like twice on them I know I can beat them just one of those days you don't understand what the heck happened. Also ran into a match with Dagwood for some reason there was lag during the match dunno from where. Though I let people know if I'm having lag issues is because my siblings on the net as well. Unfortunately I lost lag might have help in someway who knows.
 
Okay so just finished doing some sets with Kraken friend on my steam list. Well I lost majority of the time had 4 wins out of 11 matches we played. He mainly uses a peacock and cere team. Cerebella isn't a problem it just the peacock even worse again Fukua still learning how to deal with her. But seriously she like one of the most annoying character Big Band is second on my list for it cuz of his damage and armor. I don't care what anyone says even if I use fukua or if I didn't she not a problem. It the peacock and big band that are problems for me. Just wanna make me rage like no joke. Before anyone asks for big band giant step is not the problem it is at times when they do it more than once and then super on me. So advice on dealing with peacock and big band. Looking for on peacock how to deal with her moves and assist. Mainly people like to use bomber and big band assist these days. It can also be any attack the to keep me the opponent away from them. Basically if anyone ask me if I had one complain about the game it would be that.
 
Okay taking a break for right now but will get back on. Had some sets with Shampoo won the first time but the other times were like lame bs going on. Got paired in a match DeathArcana I came pretty close to beating him I will get him next time. Battled ImmaDocktah basically he use peacock and double team with that annoying bomber assist. Almost had him as well. I forgot the other guy's name I battle he had a val and peacock team going. The annoying was he keeping back using bomb assist. I just wanna rage on the guy. Lost to him cuz of that like wth just stop running your not using peacock atm and fight. When people do that ticks me off to no end like seriously.
 
I think we played the same val player, yah we have to be careful of that bomb because it stops combos and stays on screen forever, also I look forward for the next time seing you for your rematch :P

assist system too good sometimes, anyways, the video recording I took ended up being like, 80 gigs. so I need to compress and I'll upload it in a few days when I get a chance, when I do I'll post a link to it here.

PS: if you think that bomb is good, all the hornet bombers, all of them, all the time. jesus. that and napalm pillar spam is the best, learn to blow up assists if you have too

Oh god that a lot of gbs taken. That the problem with using fraps you may only play for like 5 minutes and the files is automatically over a gb. I wouldnt mind recording in if wasnt that much of a huge file cuz then I have to take it to movie maker and make the file smaller the program's upload to youtube feature. When the video is finally up show me it.
 
Was just battle jsteel3 aka funky in his usual queen of the hill room against did pretty well for the most part. Just still with those big band problems really need help on dealing with band. Had some matches with kstacks in the room as well. Noticed when battling against Filla had to constantly push block that j.hp I was able to overcome beating his filla. When he switch to painwheel bear that too. Almost had his parasoul at one point but chance of cornering turn that around. After he started beating me must have got tired of dealing with me. Battled shotgundam I won but had to deal with lag popping out of nowhere
 
remember that when dealing with big band, apply pressure, all the pressure, everywhere, all the time. If he gets out of the pressure, try to keep him grounded and go for low sweeping attacks every time he moves. BB is deadly once he's gained momentum, but due to his rather large hitbox, lack of a DP, and the fact that his armor is easily beaten, his defensive options are limited. there's a good match in the recoding where you timed you're fukua drillantionship perfectly while going in with filia and chipped me to death from about 40% health.

Will look into this just need to learn how to increase doing the pressure without band breaking though.
 
Had a round with OgonX was doing okay until with his double starting attacking back and forth. That where the problem started happening I couldn't break away from it. Dunno if there a term for this but any advice would be good. My first time encountering such as double as that. Plus we will both solo. Solo Fukua for me and solo double. After doing good in bunches in of matches. On good news had another rage quitter here been a while that has happened. But it just means for me that I'm too good when they cannot beat me. This was all during my solo fukua madness time as I started calling it. Sometimes I will do fortune solo madness as well. :)
 
WAT
a move that's usually used as a counter, it has invincibility during it and is usually punishable on block. big band doesn't have a single move that has any sort of invincibility, just armor and distorted hitboxes. His only real threats to counter pressure IMO is L beat extend, C. mk, or a suprise super (though this can end very very badly, AND waste a meter).

Edit: good examples of a DP would be parasouls napalm pillar and filia's updo.

I'm aware of what a DP is.

Between Beat Extend, Parry, and SSG, Band's defensive options are amazing. Meanwhile, its his offense that's lacking, given that he's basically got no mixup because his only lows are on the lk button.
 
Why would you have "no mixup because his only lows are on the LK button". Is it not possible to press LK?

You might want to check out training mode again??
 
Sure, it's possible to press LK, but once you've blocked one ground normal, you can just block high and know that you're safe.
 
I'd advise upback maybe cus he has a Command Grab (or just regular tickthrows)?
And what if he does c.LK, pause, s.LK
Or what if he figures out he has a sweep? That's 1200 damage, not something I'd like to eat guaranteed every time I blocked anything

P.S. BBands generally start their ground strings with LP

Oh I will keep that in mind. Didn't know they start out with a specific move. I will check what that move is and then counter it.
 
Okay so finished more like stop after having matches against drewski. Won like one round against but that was pretty much it. This was basically rage mode for me cuz of his big band and cerebella. Kept getting me with the a train. This is making big band dislike fueled to becoming. I'm just annoyed and frustrating everything I'm doing is not working against the guy. I wanted to stay in the room but I cannot dealing losing so much to a certain expense. I just really hate when i'm battling someone it could be in any fighting game. That they seem impossible to be beat all it does it make want rage. Like what I cannot beat you like seriously just die please. This just makes me feel weaker when I battle super strong opponents. Right just still annoyed even if i'm battling someone I could doesn't help. I just wanna beat the guy so hard like no tomorrow. Things he did like constant cornering which i could not get of.

During our matches you really weren't blocking low at all, so I kept going for low resets and they always worked. There absolutely is value in holding up-back but the game is designed to punish you if your opponent reads it. I should have sent you a friend request so I could let you know what's up, because they were basically the only kind of resets I was going for.

Fukua is one of the better characters at avoiding A train, actually, because she can kind of dance around in the air above him (where A train is totally useless) and throw fireballs. Try it out in training by recording BB doing A train and setting it to repeat or something.

Right now, I would say your priority should be practicing your combos in training mode. You were never really doing enough damage off random hits for me to be afraid to press buttons, and being able to do consistent damage when you touch your opponent is really, really important.

Thank you for the respond and I didn't realize that I wasn't properly blocking right. I was trying to go for fireballs kinda hard to do the input on the opposite side much. For easier for me when facing right. I will try what you said messing around in training mode.
 
Did a set with clawsandeffect/fukuatwerkteam ft 10. Did 5-10 Only won 5 not bad though. Just need to improve my fukua his is way better. Also one of my kind friends on steam so it always good to do sets with friends. I will improve my fukua so it can be much better.
 
WARNING VENT COMING ON:
So yes as you people know I have lag issues. Yes bad lag issues even I tell others in advance sorry for the lag. But it just getting on my nerves with the complains. Likes there nothing I can do fix the lag I did the best I can. I'm using the regular verzion wireless internet ( no fios). I dont play the internet bills my mom does so unless I have a job which I don't to help pay for better net there nothing I can do about. I still would like to play with everyone but I dont like being shamed as someone with really bad connections especially since there nothing I can do about it. I do feel bad when I lag on people I dont want to stop playing this game cuz of it and I dont want to hate on for the lag is it not fair to me. I really enjoy the game This what my modem looks. So please bear with my lag cuz it makes me unhappy having to be complain about for my lag in which I cannot control.

I played you a little bit ago again, and it really is unnoticeable

Well that because I found my family Ethernet cable and started using it. So it seems to be helping me now.
 
Ok so play some matches I'm starting over to how I normally. Due to me actually which I will be doing on and on for a while. Want to improve my fortune/filla/fukua trio. So i'm gonna try to do this again hopefully I dont give up.
 
Okay so was I was in Elky's room mostly got matched up against him. His Painwheel is a serious problem. Any advice to deal with PW using fortune/fukua. It could be advice that can reflect on all characters. Also battle against fukuatwerkteam was doing okay just need to figure out how to deal with bella. We're both playing the waiting game plus I have battle tons of times before so he knows how I played. So any advice for bella would be good guys.
