I normally play with Min Min but my friend was complaining that I was using an "OP character", (he was using Twintelle which is just lol) so after winning a few matches I switched out for Ninjara. I figured I'd do just as well with him because I beat GP with him after getting a handle on the game.. But I got crushed lol
Is it just me or does he have like a Bone Claw Wolverine MvC2 tier healthbar or something? It felt like I only got hit a few times before my health was totally gone lol

Don't worry - that's how most of my matches look.
I can tell that I need to practice jump - dash to the side - throw/punch. You seem to be doing that a lot and I think I rely on ground dashes too much.
Oh god please don't take any lessons from snake park, this is like a minigame XD
Ah here we are! I'm going to try double dragons and then megawatt / ramram, that'scan't remember which I did
edit: uhhhh she killed herself. that worked okay bu ehhh
edit: awwww.
Chilla guarantees the opponent can't move for a much longer period of time then Sparky's, and if you land hits on a frozen player they won't fall over from knockdown so you can keep laying into them if they don't block. From my playing, not a lot of players know you can block while frozen. If they do block, which a good player will do then you get the throw, plus +10 damage compared to Sparkys. The point though is there is far more potential to rack up a lot of damage and keep the player under a lot more pressure then wake up does. Do you see the risk/reward part of its design? This has worked really well for me, at least. Most of the time the frozen player tries to attack as I get closer to them, but since I can dodge around them and they can't move or turn around they are wide open for more punishment.
Neither one- it's just a timer. The dragons extend a certain amount, have a delay, then fire.
This is a tough matchup I think! But I got her.
Edit: Hope that switch for round 3 made sense. I just wasn't punishing her enough with the slow Megawatt to make it worthwhile. Going for speed was the right call even if I was able to pull it off the other way over time.

Am I crazy or does the game really not have a proper training mode?
As in, fighting a dummy that doesn't move?
If you mean like a training dummy, you can set it up in versus infinite health/timer/stationary enemy
Best I have to test right now are a second cracker, the parasol, and sparky. But don't take my ramblings too seriously; I'm just ok.
Yeah I totally agree with all that. I need to play more fundamentally, but I have scrubby tendencies. Like with Twintelle I feel I have the advantage in the air- unless my foe has a super. And if I'm not mixing it up hopping off Barq, Byte feels like a big metal target.
You are not crazy.
Yeah - I will definitely try double ramram for speed - plus I may actually be able to hit her with it as she dodges. Thanks!

Yeah, like any other fighting game.
If not then I really hope they add it with a record/playback option in a later update because it'd be REALLY convenient to test stuff without a 2nd player.
As the other poster said, you can do this in a roundabout way by doing a 1v1 fight against the CPU, and making it so that they can't move, and you have infinite health.
that's a tough matchup. As you can see, double dragon ordinarily is nasty and many CPU enemies can't handle their shit.
edit: The Dragon Rush eludes me though.
these two matches after ribbon girl have been night and day easier. And! I forgot to mention. Double dragon works awesome on Ninjara (he was my first match this GP)
Keep your distance, and he doesn't try to block the beam.

Wow what, what happened?
Anyone know if the Charged Dragon beam counts as Medium or what?
Start here if you like
Also Character abilities and throw damage
There is some documentation in-game but it's pretty shoddy

Cheers. Yeah I found the in-game tips, they're definitely lacking in info.

Is anyone capable of recording matches against me as evidence?
Go to twitch.tv/leveluplive and go to archived streams and at the very end if you missed out on my fights with Valle. It's a good look on me playing from an opponent's perspective. I'm trying to compile as much proof as I can since I was given the advice to make a Reddit post about Helix's goodness that everyone is sleeping on
Meanwhile random25 I've had some Min Min practice, I've been getting better, I ain't going to let anyone beat me consistently

Can you dominate with any other character like you do with helix? And what are you trying to prove? And to who? Are people saying Helix is a junk character?
TheGoreMagala
Member
I haven't tried others but I would presume now. I'm trying to show everyone that Helix might be broken or is at least good.
Meanwhile Gwynn you can't just out Gore Gore
I feel like either BYO Switch or default ARMS only may be how things go for the game competitively. I'd imagine that most majors would just buy docks & LAN set-ups if the former scenario happens.

Well yeah I've never faced someone with my exact set up, first match is never guaranteed for me
Okay I officiallly respect random25, he's as good if not better than Jorge at beating me, I really need to practice his Min Min, god I hate the Ram Ram with a passion.
This is the best post I've seen in years, loving it so much. I might copy that stunt with my friendly rivalries, I hope so at least.So I did it.
I said when I defeat Gore, I will take a Screenshot and frame it.
When ever I will feel sad, I just look at this picture and be happy again.
When ever there is a task that seems impossible to do, I look at that picture and know nothing is impossible.
Do I hate helix with double poppers?? Yes I do.
Am I to proud defeating Gore with double poppers only once? Maybe
So who ever is facing Gore, just remember: It is not impossible to defeat him!!!!
Here is also a link to the original screenshot:

Jesus dude, hate to say it but you might actually be better than me, Min Min's are the only things I struggle with (in ranked) because of the damn dragon arm. One day I'll just need to have a locked 1v1 room and practice until I got you down
What goes through your head? What do I do wrong? Is it all predictions? The hitbox is insane
You did beat me man lol. On small stages you corner me too easily because you move so fast.
I think you're doing pretty well. Charged ramram simply beats any poppers so your attacks aren't as effective.
TheGoreMagala
Member
But not often enough! Also any advice? I left some questions above
I swear whenever you manage to get the arm it's like I can barely do anything
Like I said above, I think you're doing pretty well. Charged ramram simply beats any poppers so your attacks aren't as effective. Maybe a change of arms against me would do the trick.
TheGoreMagala

I tried that with the Fire glove and it cancels the ram ram out but it was still a loss in the end
I felt you're not used to the fire gloves as compared to the poppers that's why I did beat it. Your movement with the gloves is much slower as compared to the poppers where you just move aggressively and attack.
TheGoreMagala
Member
Fair enough, I know I can move the same with the poppers as I can with the glove, just from a farther distance to compensate for the longer time it takes to reset, but then I lose my ability to be close to you

Ah dkl how did that combo work?

GGs man. Like I said you can't out Gore Gore. Only took one match to learn your style
GwyndolinCinder

Lol first time playing not ribbon since beta chill, if you can't tell I'm trying a lot of stuff I've unlocked.
Getting Arms is such a shitty idea, gonna take forever to unlock em all.

Wew finally finished Grand Prix rank 4. Was reasonably difficult, took me about 10 tries probably. I found that Ribbon Girl + 2 poppers is pretty decent for the computer as you can just sorta dodge all their attacks and do really quick jabs.
Now to take this bad boy online. Might stick with casual first though so I can try out some new characters and arms.
Also I was initially keen on the motion controls but had to switch to the pro controller - I still think it's a very good utilization of motion, but the game is actually really hardcore and requires pretty precise movement.

Is there a penalty for the people who quit in ranked just as they're about to lose?
3 of the 7 people I played matches against this morning disconnected with a slither of health left when I was about to win the second round, I didn't even get any points it just said communication error and took me back to the main screen.
suprised I won so many games as I'm pretty terrible.

man, the way to gains news arms is really shitty, you really need to wait at least to have 100 $! With the 30 $ one, i only got two of them, while i got 10 with the 100 $ one!
any characters better than other to play this?
Also is it me or kid cobra has way biggers arms than other characters? The normal gloves seems huge with him

The one where you spend 100 coins is not really worthy neither, I'd say save your coins till you have 200 and do the long version. You can easily get 20+ arms there
