I got my ps3 back to try to finally learn this game. I randomly decide to try to learn painwheel, so I look up her her bnb's. I see what look like a couple decent combos...... but then I realize its just one combo. :S I'm not used to doing so many inputs for a single combo. Oh well. Time to buckle down and get it done.

Yeah, there are more than a few long combos in this game. You could always just learn shorter ones and focus on her dirty reset setups and mix-ups to do the bulk of your damage.

Here's a match vid to give you some visual references as to what Painwheel wants to be doing:

I tried to find another vid of Weatherbee not losing, but well...

Not sure if you found her bnbs on Skullheart or not, but here you go anyways:

Yeah, I was reading the beginner's guide. I have no idea how to get this part to hit:

5HK
j.MP (omit on Double) > j.HP(3) > j.HK


But I'm not really worried since I still haven't been able to connect the prior reps.

But the video was great, thanks. It looks like she has a good amount of options after getting the hit.

so many sloths

a tale of two sloth brothers

one cast out of the ps3 kingdom to the 360 towns below

Yep. He's something I have to tolerate in all my precious fgc threads. It's like a curse.
But now I feel bad for hating him, because he helped me.
 
Well, if you can't compete with him why not try competing with me? And by that I mean to ask if you want to play a couple of rounds online.

You could have at least let me know that was the last game, SolarKnight.

Sorry, but I was getting kicked off the console so not much I could do ^^;

Anyways, it was a nice change of pace to fight a zoning team. Personally, I think you should try Napalm Pillar instead of Egret Charge though.

Oh well. Maybe next time.

I was thinking of that for specifically the way you were coming at me, but I got stubborn because of the mistakes I kept making. Not confirming super off every successful egret charge, wrong bombs, etc.

I just kept thinking, "Nah! I can do it just fine like this!"

Fortune's fiber upper would have been a good choice too. Honestly, I'll probably play with that exact same setup again though. I feel like I can do it!

Man, it's crazy how much they get done on Squigly week by week.

Also, all hail three bombs on Peacock*.

*disappears when Peacock's hit.

You missed some Squigly, yeah. A lot of her frames have been cleaned up and coloured, and she's got a new level 3 Super. It's a ball that hangs a little over her that tracks with the screen.
 
How do you input Fortune's Rekka now?

I didn't watch and I see some guys saying they changed it.

Aww, it's not the crazy ball of doom anymore :( (edit: nevermind, still in! :D)

She's looking good though. Our fan dollars at work!

GGs to Roubjon and SolarPowered~

That was the first time I've played SG in a while, so I was dropping combos left and right and up and down. I forgot how to end them too, so whenever I had something it never went anywhere. I should go to training mode and polish up on some stuff...

Sorry I only played Cerebella and Peacock the whole time though. They are the only two I can kind of play as.

I think I'll take 2 bombs instead.

Quarter circle forward once to do the first hit of the rekka and from there you can press punch to get the normal followup, kick to get the slide follow up, and up+kick to get the overhead.

THAT'S AWESOME!






also, regarding Peacock, at least makes an animation for the bombs disappearing... looks kinda lame if they just go away.

Ken, you on? I'll play you.

Also, why don't you just try playing randoms online? I haven't been having any trouble finding people to play.

I was actually watching, but I had to step away a match before. Then I come back and hear painwheel scream in victory. :(

Oh man painwheel now while I was typing this!

I didn't know she had touch of death combos! The Painwheels I play always go for resets. Comboing her air super into another one is still funny to me. You think you survived only to get grinded into mush again.
