Shit, just played a 3941 BP blanka, then added him and played some friendlies. Hes awesome. Told him to google this thread, hopefully he joins. He absoloutley cleaned me up best blanka ive ever played (excdpt maybe nullroar). Its funny though, him and nullroar have completely different playstyles....
Undeserved flattery! Adon is my main anyhow, though, so I don't feel bad at being an also-ran Blanka. Favorite blanka's play mega conservative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XVpLr8Inoo @Snooper: I'd probably disagree with Blanka being at advantage vs. Gief. Gief is usually a very tough fight for Blanka. Gief has a VERY powerful SPD punish if your slide is off by even 1 frame, they can use banishing on a blocked blanka ball, and the flying swan dive / body slam trades pretty well with electricity.
Wow. That blanka is soooooo lame. Weird how they didnt map coward crouch to the sp button by itself in volt. But im not too upset, hate blanka. Okay ill change it to 6-4 gief or 5-5?
Coward crouch and yoga tower doesn't work in a universe where every special move in the game has only one speed. Ryu has way more tools in SSFIV/AE then he ever would in Volt, yet Riceta was nearly able to defeat one of the best players in the game by optimizing the coward crouch and playing a very low-risk game.
bison and fei, but you dont listen to me anyway, so ok. well it was the night of the living hondas, so many of them never seen before, with japan names i think. dropped rating from 1600 to 900 only because of them. switching to sagat helps a bit because of fbs of course. still it's so tough, but it should be much more easy for ken or ryu. there were also a lot of giefs lately. but it's actually cool matchup, quite hard but really interesting to play.
I dunno, i feel like like especially dhalsim lost a big tool with his yoga tower. Its not like they couldnt fit it in, ffs look at all yuns commands. But then again, lots of characters are missing big parts of their game, codys overhead, vipers overhead, abels overhead, ryus solar plexus, cammys close medium punch, yuns standing medium punch, zangiefs headbutt and standing hard kick, the list goes on. Still, I think volt wouldve been better off as a whole if dhalsim had his yoga tower and blanka had his coward crouch.
Yea usually I dont note stuff down cos im on my ipod, but im on my computer. What bison/fei matchups are wrong? And OMG HONDA. Im trying to just use cammy now. Horrible matchup for her. When i play against my friends honda over bluetooth i can uppercut him if he gets too headbutt happy, but online i cant react in time. And cammy just sucks against really defensive characters. Guile, honda and balrog are her worst matchups for sure.
told ya, it is bison vs fei. if there was no penalty for quitting i would just quite all honda matches. it is the most f lame character in the game. sometimes i play vs someones main, and win without any problems. then they switch to honda and it's f up usually.
So I'm not sure if anyone has found this out yet but... When playing Cody, if you've got the opponent backed up into the corner, you can cr. lp, cr. mp, Ruffian Kick, Ruffian Kick. The timing between the cr. mp and first Ruffian Kick have to be delayed a tiny bit though. And it doesn't need FADC. So yeah... Anyone wanna add me for some matches?
Tell me about it. I'm actually considering trying a completely different character in Volt to keep my (terrible ) AE Ryu separate and 'uninfected' by my (awful ) Volt Ryu. Every time I play on the console it really brings home how much stuff is missing in Volt. Am having more fun with it since I stopped caring at all, though. And I was wondering about match-up lists - does Cammy have a different one for when lag is present in the game?
My fav fighters are Honda and Sagat! I win every match with them, especially with Honda. He has a lot o stamina and a good power strenght. Unfortunately my best character Guy is not present in this version
Do you mean that its tough to punish her spiral arrows? Because theyre actually safe from max distance....
who plays sagat should definitely learn how to do these kara moves, uppercut is easy to do and tiger knee a bit harder but it can be really useful online.
