Once you have it down you do it more by feel/rhythm than by visuals, so it's pretty doable compared to a lot of other stuff.

It's unfortunately a pretty huge part of his gameplan so if you can't do it you're kind of hosed. It's way better than his other post-B! options, really solid and safe in its own right.. but if you miss that 1+2, you're gonna eat something nasty.

I remember trying to do Paul's Demoman back in T4, but then gave up when it didn't show up in T5, thinking it was gone forever. Then it came back and I was like "gently caress, why didn't I grind this earlier?".

I still love playing as Paul even without a clean Demoman.

I'm not the guy who asked but thanks for the recommendation and the review link, I ordered one yesterday and it should come tommorow so if there's anything you want to know about it when it gets here just say so.

We had a troll come into the SFIV (?) thread a while back and refer to pretty much any combo (even 2-in-1s) as finger puzzles.

I only re,ember it because his gimmick was "help me get better at these impossible fighting games ps I am going to act like I'm an idiot" and I fell for it for a bit. :shobon:

I really like that the "super combos" of this game are just pulling both trigger buttons. It makes the challenge knowing when to use it, instead of knowing silly finger puzzles.

I've started going to actual local FG events and find myself needing to dual mod my 360 TE. Which is generally preferred between the TEasy Strike and the Kitty? I think ease of installation would be more important than price for me.

# ? Jan 25, 2012 17:09

rivals: Apr 5, 2004; REBIRTH OF HARDCORE PRIDE!

TEasy Strike is easier to install, but if you go the RJ-45 route with the kitty you get compatibility with ps2, snes, nes, etc etc. Both are very easy to install though.

A little of column A, a little of column B. I've spent a few of the last several years completely tripping balls and saying out of line poo poo, but I need to keep the peace or we end up with things like people claiming I did something on my 30th birthday when I'm still in my 20's.

ThePhenomenalBaby: May 3, 2011

I was on a bit of a Skyrim binge but I'm back on Tekken! Been trying out Lili inbetween practicing Lars and Paul because df+2 reminds me of Liz from KOF's DP.

So I've been trying to get these consistent:

uf+2 df+2 into backturned 1,2 df+3 bound into 323 for 65.

uf+2 b+2,1 into backturned 1,2 df+3 bound yada yada for 69.

WS+2 into backturned uf+4 df+2 into backturned 1,2 df+3 bound same poo poo for 81.

And then basically all my other combos follow the same route of launcher into b+2,1 into backturned 1,2 since I have an easier time landing df+3 off of it than regular 1,2 depending on the launcher. Despite this I have a pretty good ratio of sticking the combos so I'm probably going to keep playing her.

So my questions are:

Does she a have a tracking move besides f+3?

For a wall combo or wall carry combo what should I be looking for?

How good are her command sidesteps? I know you can basically get 70 something damage if you land the 3 after it, though I doubt it's safe.

What are some of her better moves? I'm just gonna be flailing around hoping to land df+2 or WS+2 and that ain't a good look.

Also I'm assuming D+3+4 despite looking like it tech crouches is probably -1 million on block and should be used super sparingly if at all. Am I right about this?

I get my 2's and 3's mixed up when typing them out. Edited

Not that I'm any good, but her df+1 is generally a really good mid and her d+3 and f,f+4 are lows which can be quite tricky to spot.
