To DoctaMario: Don't really have a main, just better at certain characters compare to the rest Better with Viper and Cammy, OK with the rest... Not so OK with Vega and Bison The aim is to try and raise every single character to a decent level so I have been playing more Bison recently but still can't figure out how to play Vega :'(
well, Viper has a hard time with defensive play styles since her specials are generally slower than others, no rainbow roll or horizontal roll to get in like Blanka her best ''get in'' tool, super jump + normal or BK has quite some recovery (worse recovery if no input after jump) to be punished her wake up options are not bad, but requires good reads: (1) DP too slow to auto-correct cross ups and hit empty safe jumps (2) EX seismo gets beaten by slightly delayed attacks CLEAN (3) EX burn kick whiffs completely on close crouching opponents = free punish by everything surely she can put in a lot of chip and damage, but she takes a lot too with her low health/stun rate surely she can zone good with seismic hammer, but learning when to hit and when to feint is key... the recovery on a whiffed seismo is huge enough for any1 to just jump in then throw/poke one of the top 5 characters for sure, but OP...? Not as much as an one tap ultra that deals 600 dmg... not as much as DP -> step kick -> ultra that deals 600+ dmg... with those 2 characters having above health/stun rate!
LOL, said by some1 who owns me 9-3 real bad the last time we played!!! 1 of the 3 wins was actually pure FLUKE coz u slipped and tapped ultra which whiffed completely
I just tried Viper these days and most of the time played with average Guile players. I think maybe you mention top Guile players.
Definitely a top 5 character, but has trouble with rushdown characters (aggro sagat/guile/bison/blanka), and characters with high-priority air attacks (aggro sagat/bison/blanka/cammy). Defensive characters end up being easy for her to zone/chip out -- defensive guile/akuma/dhalsim. Incidentally, an aggressive akuma is a problem for viper. Akuma dive kick gets her at a really bad angle, and her backdash isn't so good for avoiding Akuma's attacks.
LOL wtf is wrong with my Viper? I can deal with aggressive rushdowns but not turtles... guess it is a play-style difference?
LOL just Guile in general... maybe it's a patience thing, I can't sit there and just watch him Sonic Booming all day
seismos, seismo-fakes, and seismo > SJC > neutral burn kick, seismo > SJC > seismo, seismo > SJC > super instant air burn kick. a turtle guile can't deal with all the chip damage from seismos, and will need to start jumping at you eventually.
Good games epic. I played like crap though, I literally could not do a combo to save my life. In one of the blanka mirrors I was trying to do an ex rainbow roll for 10 seconds straight and it just would not come out.
I havent seen communication from him but I see new replays from him every morning. Does anyone know where he's from so I can better gauge when to be available?
Good games Wedia! Sorry I had to leave after 6 games (an excuse to bail out from the ass whipping that I was getting) On a serious note, your Sagat needs a leash or something lol my akuma did not stand a chance. I might just pick Sagat or bison because my akuma sucks. His ridiculously low health is just annoying compared to Sagat and bison. I believe now that Akuma is meant for hit and run, turtle/zone style of character
