Attention: Felix and squall! A pulled off a really wierd odd combo yesterday with a property I have never seen before. I comboed into aa ex rocks! The combo: Ruffian kick x2, fadc, ex rocks (1 hit), ex criminal upper (426/385) 8 hits I'm testing out aa ruffian x 2 corner setups. This is quite interesting
I actually think that his SPD doesn't take a ton of effort without SP Assist and is kind of dumbed down. I think that moves with two motions, such as his banishing flat (and the tons of other moves, like SRK), benefit more from SP Assist. Anyone else agree? Also, this brings up a question that I've had in the past. Which characters benefit the most from SP Assist in Volt?
He's pretty fun to watch. When digging around to find out if Shoryutofu still exists yesterday, I found a few replays between him and Nero. I've only had the chance to watch one but it was really entertaining and I have the others saved for future viewing.
Welcome to TA. Hopefully you stick around. The team is kind of built around the community here so hopefully you stick around and contribute. We always appreciate different perspectives and just hearing from people who enjoy the game as much as we do.
This. Although with that said, I think the Ultra shortcut is straight up BULLSHIT. And I've used it! Welcome! I agree with this. Banishing Flat (and pretty much all the Shoto style QCF, or DP motion moves) seem really hard for me to pull off in this game, and I've practiced. Maybe I'm just so used to using a stick to pull them off, but when I play Shotos in this game, I use Sp Assist or I can't do the moves reliably.
Its just one of those things you can't balance. SP Assist favors non-charge char and not having it favors charge char. Right now, this game is easier for non char and I hate it The only thing that ruins this game for me is the BS one button Ultra. 1 button = 400+ damage at least make that SP off.
In a lag environment you need moves, combos, strings etc to come out consistently and non charge characters are benefited with assists and charge characters are benefited by only needing the charge skills (the motions themselves are not that hard after a while). So all in all Charge characters vs SP assisting non charge characters in a naturally laggy environment is on the whole *somewhat* balanced..... BUT when it comes to two non charge characters, one with assist and one without....you can see that one player is enjoying the upper hand. In response to TenOnez on the autoblock thing I say...Yes...any character in fact that has been given shortcuts (Autoblock & SP assist) greatly reduces the number of motion that the player has to do to play the game (unfair?). If there was no autoblock the offense side of the game would become quite a bit more prominant....random example Blanka's ultra: In AE there are a whole host of ways you can cross his ultra up after throw or Bison's crossup - psycho crusher after scissor kicks or throw....these things never work thanks to the security of autoblock and it's not allowing real results to happen. Ultra shortcut is a must for all characters EXCEPT ZANGIEF and for the sake of our idevices (so we don't do crazy things and mash up our screens!!).
GGs Justgodude!! Fun matches. Very solid Makato I believe my wifi dropped and we disconnected. Play you later.
I'm gonna be around some wifi in a little bit if anyone wants to play. I'd rather play some folks from here than random Ranked matches.
Hha yea I had to go and try it right afterwards. the Back-FADC threw me off a bit, I was too used to Ryu's SRK - FADC - Ultra, but Cammy's isn't too bad, once you get used to it.
Those were good matches! Man, I don't know what's up with me. I can barely handle the Blanka matchup, at the moment. Your Cody is amazing, and I'd put 'em up near TenOnez's! IVWSHANE It appears that EX Blanka Ball beats Kobokushi! I am going to be doing some EXTENSIVE TESTING. Aww yeah! You joined, like I hoped! You really should frequent the forum a lot, especially so we can give you secrets on becoming an amazing player. Sure. Just let me get my iPod back. Also, damn that is a freaking weird combo you found...
Good games Nash! You kicked my ass with your Cody, 1-8): I was waiting for your Makato but I guess you were determind to practice your Cody Oh, this is the third time it's happening, my wifi just drops all of a sudden. Sorry about that.
Yay! 3900BP-3100BP in just 10 games Lost to Tum Cp.Max's Ken (0-3) and writh23's Blanka (5-6) I am not salty but Blanka's losses has a lot to do with lag...
Good Games Weidafom~ This is our first time officially play against each other~ Oh I do want to use Makoto~ but... today this due to the humid weather my touch pad get kinda sticky and I might not able to pull of what I wan for the ex move so I keep as Cody~ I quite sorry for the play against Zangief thou~ for just throw stone and ruffian kick cause I get hug badly once I get near him everytime *Nightmare from Cyrus* Cody is my secondary~ next time I will use Makoto
Max is definitely one of the best Kens on Volt. No shame in losing to him at al. I've had my share of wins and losses against him but feel your frustration in losing to him. Whenever I've lost to him I've had that feeling that I should have played better and pulled out the win. He's very good at putting on pressure so it's a matter of staying calm and executing properly. I actually thought about inviting him here the other day but never got around to it.
