re: Fang. whoever thought status effects should be in a fighting game should have been laughed out of the room.

I don't really care about facing him that much but I also think he sucks.

 

[SneakersSO]

Why do I sometimes lose so many points to players with 400+ more LP than me? Is it because I was on a winning streak?

I think it is a longer/larger winning streak that has that affect. I notice dthat in Beta 4. Had a 12 game win streak, lost, and the person (who had more LP) got 95+LP for that win.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Hmm you're right it does flash quite quickly... could just be a weird input bug or a bug where the regular command grab mistakenly flashes. Strange.

That definitely looked like his EX command grab.

Was that match online? Cause in that case it could perhaps have been a rollback due to a slight desync.

Yea not a fan of characters designed to annoy you, but it does teach you to be patient and learn good defense.

agreed. hate fang as a fighter and a character as a whole. imo he doesnt look like someone that deserves a spot on a mount rushmore of sf

 

[Clawww]

if you are a Vega main, mind playing me when I get home? I figured out some of his unsafe stuff on block, but Vega is really destroying my Ken, I feel like he might be too 3 and need all the training I can against him.

OmniCloud btw

I'm playing more ken than vega lately myself, but I'd be down to play. I think ken's top 3 haha, he's so sick. claw is up there too for sure

It's not the first game to do it.

 

[Marvel]

Fang can't help it, just the way he was born.

 

[Trickster]

Lol, meeting cammy so rarely, so meeting even scrub cammies fuck me over

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

doesn't change what I said lol, silly idea.

 

[bob_arctor]

The FANG hate is strong. This pleases me.

 

[Owensboro]

That's what my guess would be. I thought that during EX-Command Grabs you flashed during the entire whiff, not just the startup.

 

[wamberz1]

This is going to be be a really scrubby question, but I'm reading that landing certain crush counters build v trigger, is that true?

 

[Wallach]

All successful crush counters build 150 V-Gauge, yeah. One stock of V-Gauge is 300 units.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Really? That's awesome man, I'm having trouble against good claws so it'll be nice to share some Ken tech. Will be home around 4-5 est today, ill add u to favorites online and send a request. What's your PSN or fighter ID?

 

[wamberz1]

Thanks. Then maybe a good game plan with Necalli is to try and land CC's early on... and combo into his target combo. Can't wait to try when I get home.

 

[princemarth23]

How can you guys hate fighting FANG so much when his theme is so good?

 

[Messiah]

Any european Necalli or Rashid players up for some matches? I really need to practice those matchups. I am ~1000 LP Karin.

Created a lounge with the password 6657 feel free to join if you play other characters as well though. I would also appreciate some tips for those matchups in general.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

First time playing Vega and I'm matched up against MR Snk. Fuck my life. Duded bodied me super free with his Birdie...

 

[Gambit61]

The FANG hate is strong. This pleases me.

Reminds me of the Elena hate. People just gotta keep calm and take the poison.

 

[LakeEarth]

Are there any good ways to quickly build v trigger with Necalli outside of spamming his target combo?

As far as I know, aside from v-skills, crush counters are the only other offensive way to build V-meter. Getting a crush counter gives you around half a bar. So maybe actively go for those.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

The FANG hate is strong. This pleases me.

Weird too. He's no Blanka at all.

I think the initial roster is SO well balanced right now and none of the characters are stupid to fight against like Blanka in SF4.

 

[kodecraft]

Glad to see another Nash player. His combos are so fun

Their fun because it's easy to pull off, I thought Gootecks stated he is one of the harder characters to use....but I'm seeing so many of them.

I think alot people pick because he is flashy...they get a bonus finding out his combos are easy.

I'm expecting Guile to be a beast nothing like his SF4 counterpart.

I can't wait to whoop some of these Nashs with Guile.

Anyways....bring on my boy Cody, and Necalli rushdown don't cut it.

 

[Trickster]

The FANG hate is strong. This pleases me.

Feel like I figured out how to fight him last match though, should be fun from now on

Spoiler

I'm kidding, it'll still be dumb

 

[wamberz1]

FANG is great, I love fighting him.

 

[Wallach]

Certainly helps get you into VT faster. Necalli actually has a crush counter in his overhead (df.HP) that gives 300 V-Gauge (1 full stock). I'm not sure if any other crush counters give more than 150 besides that.

i don't see Cody being in it for a while man. No one of the coming 6 interest you either?

 

[TheFlow]

Lol think I lost 15 matches in a row. I don't have what it takes to finish close matches

 

[LakeEarth]

I hate FANG as well, but it's cause I don't get him. Still only faced 3 so far.

You should upload some matches.

 

[Woody Invincible]

So I'm studying Snake Eyez's WNF matches and learning how to plug the holes in my gief game. That 2clp into fmk into churn is godlike.

 

[kaioshade]

FANG is great, I love fighting him.

Not as Laura. Poison essentially ensures he will hit and run until youre dead. Its really not fun at all.

Yea yea, git gud, etc.

Høly shit, really? It has a long startup though iirc, but it has decent range. Definitely gonna experiment with this.

 

[kodecraft]

Ha, yea I know :-(. I got a feeling both Guile and Balrog will be beasts in this.

So I'm leaning toward Guile...and he better have that outfit in Nash's story as his default...that was too boss!

Patience tends to go a long way at the ends of matches.

Think I might need you guys to dissect my game.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

That's what my guess would be. I thought that during EX-Command Grabs you flashed during the entire whiff, not just the startup.

Basically, yes. You flash through the entire animation if the throw connects, and through the first half (until Birdie starts retracting his arms) if the throw wiffs.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

Speaking of Gief what are his bnb combos? I swear someone on here said something like cr Lk Cr Lp into lariat works?

 

[Omnistalgic]

Yeah that's who I'm waiting for. Ken is my main and Guile is my alt. Figure one defensive oriented character and one pressure oriented will good me a pretty good win ratio.

 

[wamberz1]

Patience tends to go a long way at the ends of matches.

Yep. Wait for that jump in, people tend to get desperate. So, so many kills with Vegas crouching v trigger.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Not sure about c.LK but c.LP s.LK xx Lariat works

 

[TaKeRx]

Thanks for the matches! Was a bit one sided but oh well. Mika seems to struggle against characters with good buttons so I don't feel all too bad about it. Footsies with R Mika is really hard so I try not to get suckered into it alot.
Was jumping a lot and tried some random stuff as, quite frankly, don't see many ways Mika can get around well blocking players. Only thing I should have punished more was your backdashes on wakeup. No clue why I didn't manage to do that.

Maybe some more command throws to mix things up? Probably. Main problem is getting in and getting an offensive going though.

Interesting matches though, you beat me with better basics.

GGs again man. You have the combos down for sure. I like the splash you were doing when jumping in as that was throwing me off.

 

[wamberz1]

Speaking of Gief what are his bnb combos? I swear someone on here said something like cr Lk Cr Lp into lariat works?

he can set that up into a light spd. thats my go to.
he can also combo crouching MP into lariat, but only if the opponent is standing.

 

[Skittles]

I also need this

 

[Luq]

We are already on 2nd OT? Damn and I havent bought the game yet!

 

[RM8]

Is it normal that Ryu gives my Dhalsim a particularly hard time? :[ I don't want to go Chun against him, I need to learn that MU better.

 

[GootecksShimmy]

Sounds good. Thanks guys.

That salt when you are learning a new character and get bodied on ranked. ; ; feels bad man.

My vega is not scary enough. People are just crashing buttons furiously lol.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Anyone know where I can watch some good Nash play?

 

["God's Beard!"]

I wouldn't rely on AAs too much with Vega lol

Dude has some of the most unreliable AA hitboxes in the game. It's getting to the point where I just try to forward dash and tripguard close jumps.

Claww off cHP is pretty good, but fuck claw off mode.

His combos are rather easy, but if your fundamentals are flawed you'll have a hard time against other people, so I think in the end he's an advanced character with situational antiairs and lack of an invincible DP, which means you have to learn to block and not press buttons.

Anyone know where I can watch some good Nash play?

I think Juicebox plays a very interesting Nash, so I watch his stream every now and then.

The music in this game is really underrated. The character themes are cool, but some of the stage themes are fucking great.

https://youtu.be/YE8zrHyBNDQ

That part around 4:40 makes low health footsie battles extra intense.

music in this game is absolutely fantastic. Some amazing composers worked on this game.
