The most irritating thing in this game is repeatedly flubbing fly/unfly combos in training mode such that they turn into aerial exchanges.

I agree. It's almost enough to get me to just stop playing fly characters altogether.

Man, check out the crazy number of Austin folks. I might be able to make Sunday. What timish? I'm not very good, and I'll be even worse on a stick, but still sounds like fun.

I might go, but I'd be playing more BlazBlue than Marvel. I haven't actually gone to UFO since the summer. Might be fun.

When I'm practicing those I get my other two characters killed off so the guy I'm practicing with doesn't switch out.

My friend is organizing a BlazBlue tournament this Saturday actually. They just got the harddrive back after the EXTEND update, blaance changes, new chars, etc. If you're interested you might check it out and attend.

I might try to make it but work would require me to be a few hours late. I'll still shoot for Sunday around 7-8PM like I usually do.

If I don't get lucky with some of the UFO parking, I just turn the corner at the speedway market. There's usually something along the curb. Nothing like a brisk 2 minute walk before getting owned at games.

My game keeps locking up when switching modes or at the character select screen. It's caused me to get downgraded to bronze even though I've only been playing player matches to compensate (who even cares if you ragequit a player match, seriously?)

Yeah, I'll most likely go, sounds like a good time.

Back to Marvel, how does anyone get used to holding a charge shot with Zero using a pad? It seems pretty much impossible for me to do anything offensive and still hold the charge.

You might try remapping a shoulder button to Light Attack so you can hold it without cramping pad space.

I believe 360 has a feature that lets you transfer a game from the disc to your HDD, granted you still have to keep the disc in the machine to play the game, but that's for verification and it'll run off your HDD instead.

This is ultimately not going to help your execution because you're not correcting the inputs that cause an aerial exchange. You're essentially training for the Tour de France with training wheels because you can't stop falling off your bike. Whenever you get to the actual race with no training wheels you'll still fall off because you haven't learned to ride correctly.

I used the left trigger (360) as L to charge Zero's Buster. Lets you use MHS combos just fine.

It literally doesn't change anything about doing the combo except you don't have to switch characters when you screw up.

But you won't know when/if you're screwing up, so if you condition yourself to pull off the flight combo when you potentially would be doing an accidental aerial exchange, it'll mess you up when you do it with multiple characters alive.

The point of practicing it is so you don't screw up and do the exchange in an actual match. What's not to get here?

If someone has a problem mashing buttons and accidentally activates x-factor during a combo, their first action should not be to deactivate x-factor in training mode so they can practice their combos unhindered.

I honestly hadn't thought of the situation where you can do an aerial exchange off holding back for too long. My problem was always hitting special too early, so I still get air-special instead of fly.

My mistake folks.

Edit: After testing this, fly seems to come out if you keep holding back before hitting special for a fly command, not an exchange. What situation of a missed input are you guys referring to?

I have exactly the same problem and it's crazy frustrating to wait to hard tag the other character back in.

You don't need to hard tag anybody. You can just press Start+Select (or Start+Back on 360) and reset the training mode. You can even hold down an assist button or hold left or right on the d-pad/stick to start in a corner.

Yeah, most people install games to their 360 just so it doesn't sound like a jet engine. No spinning disk, no reading.

Turn the meter refilling off. Set it to however much you need to start the combo, although it's a better practice to set it to 1 or 0 so you can measure how much meter you gain from what you're doing.
