It allows some combos to happen though. I believe you can stop momentum with green barrier. At the very least, green barrier will allow you to block.

You also keep it with neutral jump, you can cross people up by neutral jumping if you have enough momentum.you also keep that momentum when you forward jump.

So after getting bodied over the weekend I am starting to get the impression that Sol isn't really that good.
Sol can't really do that much without getting the right read, online its even worse since its pretty hard to hit confirm from random counter hits. There is a chance to random someone out because of the damage output and stun, but even then that's not going to happen unless you manage to somehow bulldog them into a corner. Like you aren't going to be getting huge blow ups purely based on character strength unless you are just already the better player.

I'm guessing that there is a lot of Sol players so players tend to do better against him. Fighting Sol more means that they have more matchup experience.
Strangely enough..I feel sol is pretty damn good online.

Ez pz mixup (gunflame>YRC> to whatever
Lots of health, which mean he can take risk
This is getting me frustrated, I cant do Chipp's Faultless Defense Cancel still.
Also, does anyone play on the west coast cali? It takes a while to find opponent in rank.

What exactly are you having trouble with with Chipp's FDC? Execution? Timing?
I'm from SoCal but I haven't played Xrd or fighters in quite a while unfortunately so I probably wouldn't be of any help to level up you game.

I'm also in cali. Socal. I'll be back home tomorrow so let me know if you guys want to run matches.

Damn ASW, at least put training mode or some shit in your online rooms.
Edit: God I am a terrible person, I just made someone quit, why do I do these things. I mean honestly no one deserves to be have less fun than I do.

You can actually access training room... You have to press one of the shoulder buttons and it takes you to the main menu. The only problem is that you can't use it while waiting for a match, which kinda makes it useless. Although it works if you're idling in the room or trying to get into a ranked match.
Fuck Leo- he is the Hulk of Xrd. The derp is too strong.
What do you do against Venom? Proper Venom zoning is soul fist spam levels of ridiculous and his pressure is nutty.
Sin's moves have ridiculous priority. Am I missing something or is it just "block until he gets hungry because you can't contest his stuff"?

Leo can get thrown if he does his long dash. That's all I have, lol. I don't have too much experience.
Not too much with venom either.
Sin, remember that he doesn't have any normal overheads. And yes, look at his meter. Don't try to push buttons when he starts his specials since he can cancel them. Try to blitz shield his moves. Also look out for his double overhead when he jumps (jD)
I keep getting Chipp Air Down K. I press down back K into KS.
IIRC the kara cancel window is 2f so you have to press K and K+S within two frames of each other. You're probably just doing it too slowly.

Don't give him enough time to set up?
Otherwise just practice in one of the venom missions on how to get in with your character.

i've got a stick finally
i'm bad, but i wanna play

I find it really difficult to stop him from setting up shop. He has great normals and stinger aim can control the ground well when he doesn't have balls set. Maybe I'm missing something? Any remotely competent Venom zones me out super hard.
Yay! Sony approved my refund request (in what they like to call "a goodwill gesture", meh) and I got my money back for the EU version of Guilty Gear Xrd. Sadly though the money was not returned directly to my bank account again but to my PSN account. So I can only spend it on the EU store.
Gonna have to wait a bit longer until I get Xrd then. Maybe can get a physical copy of it when visiting New York in 2 months.

everyone pretty much migrated to New England lobby or Los Angeles lobby and its only really busy at night.
So sad. Well, I'm on the east coast so I guess I'll try the New England lobby. Thanks for the info.

New England is always busy for me. LA lobby is busy at night.
There is no shortage of games though.
we need to play.

I can probably play between 4:30 PM and 8:00 PM Pacific. You guys going to be on? I need to get some training for Evo.
edit: hypernima, whenever I see your PSN name, I crack up.
I'll probably be around by 8PM or 9PM EST. Depends on when I get off of work.

Do I have you on my friend list already?
I think so. I think I've played you in Xrd before.

I have to clean out cat boxes but I already have a room open... Room: va23, pass : hey
Edit: Ugh I'll be there... Ignore mine
Edit 2:Can't find the room
Is this a PS4 thing D:? Should we go to yours? fader is here with me.

I think that might be better... Created new room... 4ae4, pass: hey
Sorry about the trouble... And he can come too.
Lol no problem.

Yeah... I think it's the west vs east lag
ggs guys! It was fun. I really need to work on implementing frame traps more naturally into my game .
Hopefully it wasn't too bad for you Prototype. I thought it was playable enough (not great, but good enough), especially since I'm in Florida :V. My connection with fader was pretty good lol.
Edit: And hopefully playing Prototype enough will teach me to stop doing jump back airdash lol.

I'm in florida too thats why lol
Awesome! Makes sense why the delay would hit 2f sometimes. I was really amazed.

Missed it, damn. Oh well I am sure my connection would have been the worst to everyone, so that's ok.

I'm sorry... good luck to you. Maybe we can get some matches on Thursday before the tourney starts. Not sure if it'll help though.

i havent practiced in a while. gonna get bodied at evo
phew... almost played marlinpie. He joined the lobby I was in and speced the match and left. I guess he realized we sucked
axl low is a very solid zoning character character with good mix ups after 1.1, Japan considers him top tier.
His combos are simple (if you can tiger knee), I can see a beginner learning him easily at a simple level. then getting into his traps is still pretty simple but a little more complicated

How are the connections usually for you guys if you play against players coast to coast?

About 5 to 8 frames delay. Just enough to be annoying.
Isn't ours like 4-5f? I think I get around 4f with Rhapsody as well. I get around 3-4f with people in the EC lobby so I've kinda just resigned myself to 4f of delay lol.
