I'm better offline but even then I'm still scrubby... Oh man that's rough, although I'm not much better as I win roughly 1 out of 3. If I had to break down my losses, I'd say I lose 2 out of 9 to a gimmick to which I don't know the answer, 2 out of 9 due to bad play on my part, 1 out of 9 due to crappy online play, and 1 out of 9 where the person is actually really good and way beyond me. This game certainly has a bunch of gimmicks, and not knowing when to push block/how to punish can lead to a lot of losses from my experience. I actually barely have combos, but I've noticed that at lower level play they're not as necessary as having answers to unsafe moves or being able to escape poor teleport set ups, moves with armor, or exchanges. Anyway if you want to hit me up, my 360 tag is Topologic.

Is it just me, or have all of Joker's Iron Man videos been made private on youtube? I finally decide to put some time into the character, and all of the matches I meant to study have vanished from public eyes, dang. If anyone else is also sitting at that Just Barely Above Scrub level, feel free to send me a friend request at 'Merton Blask' on Live. I'm pretty terrible, but I'm always willing to take a beating.

Dante Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Top Tier. Is the combo in the new testament good to learn or are there more optimized ones out there? I did a little bold cancel practice going from stinger to volcano, definitely seemed like something I could get down but I didn't want to put the time in and find out the combo is junk. e: said combo does 672,700 with a net gain of slightly more than 1 meter Fenn the Fool! fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Apr 30, 2012 |

You probably want an OTG assist with Dante too (hurf Wesker) so his air grab isn't trash and it's super easy to pile even a little more damage onto that with OTG assist into hammer. edit: also if you really want to pick top tier I'd pick up Spencer or Vergil

Here is the thing with Dante combos do the easiest and simplest combo that you will never ever drop THATS IT, like you can do really fancy poo poo for like 30-40k extra but you might drop it so don't. This is the easy mode everywhere Dante combo. 5M,5H,6H,623L+S~M,j.M,j.H,236L,S~HH~S,8j.236L~L,land,(3HHH6H,L+S,j.S),623M~M,super *only do the 3HHH stuff in the corner Here is my hard mode midscreen Dante combo 5M,5H,6H,623L+S~M,j.M,j.H,236L,S~HH~S,2369L~L,236M~M,j.S,dash 3HHH6H~2L+S~2S,j.S,land,623M~M,super(ohh cool I did 20k extra sure is fun, I pretty much only go for this when screwing around) Like I can basically screw around and make poo poo up and break 650k with Dante but I don't think I have ever broken 750k in a match without using 2 meter.

I've been running Haggar/_____/Dr. D since vanilla; Hisen-Ko, then Hawkeye, Iron Man, Ryu, and finally "gently caress it, another character that everyone else plays". I don't think missiles would be fast enough to help me out there and Haggar gets more mileage out of plasma beam.

His air throw leaves him floating in the air for a long time, his only OTG that works is rain storm. While it's possible to use that to pick someone up and use an assist to hold them in place long enough to land a hammer, it's very difficult and becomes impossible if you land the air throw too high.

I don't think missiles would be fast enough to help me out there and Haggar gets more mileage out of plasma beam. For what it's worth, air grab isn't a vital tool for Dante, and he really benefits from a beam assist. Call Doom for a safe teleport, mixup and try to convert off the beam, etc. Plasma beam's not ideal, it's slow, combos off it are tricky to start and the damage scales poorly, but it gets the job done. Don't pick Dante if you're just looking to throw in a top tier, though. Most people just run Vergil instead because he's similar and takes a lot less work. Wesker sounds like he'd fit well with Haggar and Doom-a. He's pretty simple, and a lot of fun, too!

Liking a character and a having them be less commonly played is a pretty big deciding factor for me, thus the train of dysfunctional middle men. Dante does seem to have much more synergy with Haggar than Virgil, Jam Session is great in the neutral game, covers a very different area than the beam, and extends his combos well, all of which I don't think can be said for Rapid Slash. Further, while I'm sure Wesker's gunshot assist would be useful there's no way in hell I'd play him and when you give the mayor a million dollars he turns any random pipe into a million damage without breaking a sweat, Albert probably can't claim the same. Honestly I should be playing Haggar/Dr. D/Ammy, the dog hits all the right notes for both other characters, but I just don't like playing her.

An embarrassing amount of my losses come from blatantly scrubby dudes teleporting all over the place with Vergil and using Rapid Slash and poo poo which is really hard for me to block for some reason. Vergil's teleports ARE punishable iirc but they always seem to catch me off guard.

He is a solid character after that but I know that I picked him for his assist. I found Vergil to be harder to play then Dante, Vergil actually has moves that are unsafe and punishable while Dante can kind of do w/e he want

Vergil's teleports ARE punishable iirc but they always seem to catch me off guard. I'm gonna give you some tips on fighting Vergil. Vergil's normals are all unsafe. If he ever forgets to cancel a blockstring into a special, punish him. Vergil players like to teleport, rapid slash, judgement cut, or sometimes even dive kick when they are 2/3 to fullscreen. When you are at that distance you can empty jump, double jump, or walljump around a bit until they do something. Empty jumping around makes it harder for them to actually connect something on you. If they cover whatever they're doing with an assist you may have a hard time punishing them but after their assist disappears you will have an opportunity to call your assist and attempt to mix them up. As I mentioned, Vergil players will cancel into one of his specials after a blockstring or use his specials + an assist to get in. If the Vergil player has meter there is a good chance he will use Vergil's install super or the swords super to stay safe after you block one of his specials. You can't punish him if he spends the meter to do one of his supers but you can pushblock him. Generally you need Vergil to be out of meter or the help of an assist to cleanly attack Vergil. Dorkasaurus are you dorkasaurus_rex on xbl? I will play you if I see you on. PS - Last night I ended a match with Deadpool's lvl 3 counter against a Vajra-happy Strider and it made my night.

Oh man, my disc broke. There's 2 arc like scratches that were made by the xbox that stop the character select screen from loading. It's not covered by the warranty at this point. Does anyone who previously posted how much they hate the game want to sell me theirs? Should I just get a new copy? It's still 39.99. What should I do? Mopey in Miami

Even if you can't install that copy to the HDD, see if you can borrow a copy from a friend or someone at a meetup. It takes a disk to be pretty bad for it to not be able to verify the installed copy.

My favorite way to dealing with teleporters is to just superjump straight up. Typically the other person will wait doing nothing until you come back down so try and hit them and call an assist if they block so you can get a mixup in.

Generally you don't want to be directly over characters since you set yourself up for right/left mixups, so neutral super jumping teleporters isn't always a good idea. You also have to guess if people will go for an airgrab or an airhit which is pretty hard to predict.

Doing neutral superjumps predictably is pretty risky because you're leaving yourself super open for airgrabs.

Cuchulain posted:Unless you're Spencer/X-23 and can do your best impression of Kirby in Smash Brothers. Be careful doing that. On whiff, X-23 has 10 frames of recovery and Spencer has 22. Frank West's knee drop, a similar move, has 12. If you telegraph your talon dive/bionic bomber/knee drop you can be easily whiff punished. Against X-23 or Frank West baiting a talon dive or knee drop is as easy as sort of almost standing under them when they super jump. With Spencer it's harder because he'll probably grapple instead of doing bionic bomber. On the topic of empty super jumping vs. teleporters I agree that it's a bad idea for all of the reasons that have been mentioned. The key against teleporters is having a punish ready or staying mobile. For instance, a ton of teleports lose their effectiveness if you simply jump forward.

That first time you counter teleport with a neutral jump, though? You'll get like 50 frames' worth of opening out of the opponent's surprise. I've turtled teleporters who go numb if you don't react the fourth time the same way you did the first three times. The teleporters were playing lazy, but hey, not all strategies are perfect.

You just have to get used to the cheap online gimmicks. If you're playing against a teleport+beam team, I've had success beating them by staying on top of them with wolverine's fast normals and hyper sentinel force/bionic arm on reaction.

If you're sticking with Dante then combo II from the book seems like a good starting point. When you hit the stinger->bold cancel->teleport, do j.s xx killer bee to cross up and position yourself for a corner Sphere Flame DHC. I'm pretty sure you can also squeeze in a Doom beam assist so it hits right as you're doing that last volcano->beehive.
