Glad someone else touched on that. I guess its best to just use gems that activate via blocks or normal attacks?

I've seen that some of the "connect with a launcher" gems have an equivalent "your partner connects with a launcher" gem, so...why you'd use the other one?

theres gems that are "upon your partner connecting with a launcher"
sometimes i set my 2nd character up for: damage, defense, meter. all that activate as soon as he comes in off of a launcher. so upon coming in, you have 20s to go crazy.
i can possibly see 2 uses for "connect with a launcher". first is obviously if you plan to switch cancel again to tag back in with the juggle reset for an extended combo. or in scramble mode where it might provide an easy way to activate a gem.

More Claw commentary, please! I've not had a chance to get into SFXT but for 15 minutes so far and he's my main. Gotta finish up that space opera finale before I can devote the time this game needs. ;-)

Cool combos, and nice choice of music. = ) I haven't decided yet on the two characters that I want to focus on, but you make Akuma look really appealing.

use it to switch cancel safely whilst getting a free mixup and pushing them to the corner?
and lp version is -3 on block. its hard to punish that unless you have a 1/2 frame super.
also for switch cancel combos, rolling flash keeps them grounded so you don't have to worry about juggle combos if you were to use scarlet terror instead.

after getting bodied pretty badly by q, i'm gonna try learning new characters one at a time to get some wins/confidence under my belt. ive been using guile and then rotating nina/law. still wish honda would have made the cut, but at least i can hold down+back for half the match now.
BTW Q loves to abuse Snake eyes or whatever that kick move is, it's not a true block string. You can reverse between 2nd and 3rd hit.
Also I think I'm throwing king away. One of my favorite tekken characters, but he just has too many flaws in this game. Maybe I should start throwing his rolling elbow rush in, try to catch people ducking.

This game is such a bugfest. The first patch can't come fast enough.
"No nuts, no glory." The Hugo getting his balls smashed in story.

if your character doesnt really have any tools to get in (high priority pokes, moves without hurtboxes), it takes some calculated guessing and some randomness.
I have no clue what high priority pokes or hurt boxes are. >_>
I'm using Nina and Lili right now. Any moves they could have that fall under those categories?
Can´t Lili mix up air drills to get in?
How do these characters even have that much trouble with Sim?
Can't Nina do her command dash and just not go into the "command" grab to avoid crouching lows. Lili on the other hand should have no damn problem rushing his ass down with all her mobility options.
dat shit cray.
I haven't actually ever used Nina's dash. Isn't the distance too wide even if I do the dash? I'll try it next time I come across a Dhalsim player, though.

My noob ass is having a lot of success with kazuya/hugo, I play a very footsie based game and then do a very simple combo with either and its 40 to 50 percent health gone. I need to step it up and learn better combos though.
Thing I like about my team the most is they both have good AA so I train my opponents to stay out of the air and win easy.

nina - command dash through fireballs then get ready to block, standing mk/hk do not have hurtboxes on the leg that is kicking, try using this against dhalsims jump back fierce punch (hurtbox is an area where your character can get hit and receive damage, so if dhalsim connects hits your standing mk with a punch, you wont get hit theoretically)
Yeah, I was using both the "connect with launcher" and "your partner connects with launcher" gems. Heh.
Lili's got her punch counter! But I dunno if it's as good as Heihachi's.

Just watching the SRK stream and noticing how similar Ogre is to Seth, his HK is the same axe kick type move - is this Ogre's actual kick from Tekken, or did they just rip this directly from Seth?
Also sick of seeing Rolento constantly poking with standing LP until one isn't blocked then going for the combo into rekkas - it seems to much of his stuff is completely safe, even blocked rekkas - before the game came out I was excited about Rolento, now it seems everyone is going to be using him, I need to find those characters who aren't going to be used by every Tom, Dick and Ryu.

ended up going with the 360 version , reading comic book at work 7 hrs till I get over 24 hrs to play it 
He was a mashup character, just comprised of a bunch of moves from tekken characters. So kinda fits his lore that he has borrowed moves from Seth.

It's tougher than a lot of the combos people are doing now but still not very tough. I'm already reasonably consistent with it.

I'm pretty sure he didn't borrow it from Seth though.
Phoenix stance moves can be done by merging the stance change and attack motion too.

After a week I finally got done with the nightmare which was the arcade bank, fuck that thing.
He got it from Gill, who is his alternate costume.
spin kicks to make it safe on block, ex ffr to catch reversals, overhead to catch them off guard, or punch *pause* and then kick to punish bad reactions
not kara related but good ways to cover your ass if you fuck up
Yep. Muahhaha
I've been using Guile too....but he's a bit of the same old same old...but being able to charge Sonic Booms catch a lot of folks who are jump happy. I just wish his Sonic Kick damage output was a bit better.
He's a stupid character for sure.
Man, I got so excited when I got the prompt in-game for new store content, then EU-psn laughed at me. Tomorrow it is!
Mega-Man and Dr. Wily (Heihachi) tagteam here I come.
