Fuck my ass, you mean I could've slept that night??

It was of great help to me. My second in line is Rachel, and the dvd was phenomenal for help. It helped me understand how to use Rachel's cat uppercut to keep air attacks at bay, to keep the block up, and use the chair for some easy damage if under pressure. They didn't go into much detail on the winds effects on your moveset though.

I'm up for some games tonight, and I'm not new to the game either.

I let my friend borrow the game after only getting to play for like a day. :lol At least he's digging the game a lot.
But now I have it back finally and I'm working on the first 6 Litchi combos from the tutorial disc. Any GAF PSN meets planned for today? My PSNID is ndmazin.

No kidding... All I remember in the advanced section was "be ready to block a lot" and I was left wondering wtf am I supposed to do after blocking.
Worst advanced section ever

Ya she's pretty difficult, and the bad side she's fairly low tier even if you do get good at her.
Reasons she's hard:
-Two different move sets (staff, or no staff).
-Outside of the corner she doesn't have very good mix ups. (with staff she has no good low move, Her A's also are only comboable on CH).
-Low damage
-Difficult combos that are very dependent on distance and character.
-Her distortions are difficult to use. You can't just stick them out there like some characters and get a ton of damage... they require setup.
Reasons she's awesome:
-Corner shenanigans.
-One of the best punishing moves (and AA's) in the game.
-Her Range/zoning.
-Air throw range
-Good mobility. (Command back dash, fastest air dash in game, her staff jumps)

Correct. (Except for Ragna's, Rachel's, and Nu's, whose Astral Heats were already available from the get-go in arcades.)Grifter said:
I'm trying to do this combo with bang and i cant seem to get it. Its only one part that i need help with. Down.C, forward.D, then his fire punch. How come the fire punch doesn't cancel the forward.d move?
It can be done and seen it on the DVD and I've tried it at every stage of the animation. Am i missing a trick? I don't think its a rapid cancel because I've seen people do it at the beginning of the match.

Because it's actually trickier than that. To do the Fire punch from the forward d you have to do a Jump Cancel Cancel.... ya i never knew they existed until that combo.
Basically what happens is you cancel the forward D with a jump, but then cancel the jump before you actually leave the ground with the fire punch move.
So to do it, you have to do something like 923B or something like that. (I think B is the fire punch right?) A bang player will inform you better though.

Like Ferrio said, it's a jump cancel. It's similar in motion to a Tiger Knee (2369), except it's a DP (6239).

To anyone who has gotten 100% completion on each character in Story mode, do you have to lose each match to increase your percentage? I'm sitting on around 90% with a few characters and I've done all the paths according the the thread on Dustloop.

Yes, you have to lose matches against the characters to get a complete ending.

What is this trick you speak of?

Does the match not count if the other guy quits? I just railed a guy by spamming Jin's C attack, he called me a fag and then bailed.

It shows up as an incomplete match for the both of you. I don't like that feature, because it punishes both of us even though I'd never quit a match.
Oh man, I might be improving, but I still can't win a match. :lol
I probably have the single worst win ratio on PSN. :lol
My biggest problem is my defense. Even button spammers just mash, get me in the corner, and I have the toughest time countering. I think I'm overusing barrier shield.
My first win of the night, against a 50% Litchi. :lol
I am now level 5. Bow before my 4 wins 40 losses!

I am like 5-30 now :lol
GG's guys, I started button smashin but then discovered there are tactics hidden and started using them. Probably if we play tomorrow I can get some more rounds off you guys :lol Also, gotta adapt to the new stick. That's taking a while..
Also, fuck the burst barrier thing :lol

We should play I'm pretty crappy too, the worst is loosing to the Ice Car spammers I think, I hate it when a jin players does nothing but special moves and yet i still loose...
Although i am lvl 7 (only b/c i beat a lvl 16 and got 2 lvls from it) anyways look me up my PSN is Mrninjaman
Sure thing, I'll add ya.
To both of you, I'll just say that I think it will pay off in the end. While these Jin/Noels are just constantly spamming ice cars and drives, we're taking a more tactical approach and making an effort to learn the finer mechanics of the game.
I'm learning opening in my opponents spamming, slowly learning combos, and learning my opponents tactics. I don't have the experience or the familiarity with my character to pull off what I want to pull off at this point, but I'm far more situationally aware then I was, and am feeling that I'm constantly improving. I don't think the spammers are going to quite get as much out of it as we will in the end.

Yeah, good games, guys :lol
I gots me some wins on dat Tager!
lolz at Ice Car awesomeness XD Actually, though, I did do some pretty amazing things with Jin while keeping the Ice Cars at a minimum 
Oh, man...I haven't been playing with Litchi anymore
You did pretty damn well for your first day with the game, Relix.
Anyway, I think 4 players is the sweet spot for rooms because it doesn't take long for your turn to come up.
By the way, is Raznell a GAFfer? His Taokaka was awesome.

Yup, good games!
I've switched from the dpad to the control stick because I was butchering the throws a lot, so I was doing more of the 360 grabs tonight. =D
I really need to learn how to fight Jin though, he comes up so often in both ranked and player matches yet I never really got a hold on his style like I did some of the others. And I'd say Nu is a lost cause, it's pretty much like trying to scale a mountain where the littlest mistake in climbing makes the mountain angry and lob stalagmites into your chest until you get killed six times over.
Also, I definitely think you would have won more rounds just how you are now Relix. The barrier burst thing really messed it up, especially when it happened early and it's basically chopping your life in half.

Dreavus said:You nailed it. Throwing random crystal strikes as Jin and mashing D as Noel doesn't lead to improvement. On the receiving end, you will shortly learn how to pick apart and destroy these players, while they will likely be left with nothing but their mashing.
It's a slow and grueling path though. :lol Especially for a fighting game noob such as myself.

I may play on Xbox live, but I sympathize as a Rachel player. I've come to understand that in order to beat spammers with rachel you have to master using her air cannons. I know that her strong, and middle strength air cannons can give them some trouble if you fire them from the air. Once you put a little pressure on them using the air cannons use pumpkins, and cannons from the ground with wind to keep pressure on them. They'll be to afraid to attack from the air, and they'll have no choice, but to resort to spamming. This is where the quick consecutive uses of the electric chair,cat upper, and her down-forward 5 hit combo keeps them paranoid, and confused. Spammers wouldn't even know what to do at this point, and you can just pick at their life gauge. These tactics have helped me get my win ratio out of the low thirties into mid 40s range in player matches where the spammers reign supreme, and I've got 190 matches which makes it hard to change my win percentage as it is.
I didn't get to play with anyone tonight though ;_;
