I'm actually free on a Thursday for once and no one signed up for Xbox. :(

I might just buy the PS3 version at some point.

While its not worth buying a new system over if you have one all ready dropping :20bux: is probably worth consistent goon action.

Without the CHAMPION, nobody wants to hop on Xbox. No surprises there, but I'm busy training for Canada Cup. Maybe I'll hop on next week and offer up 10bux as motivation for some good challengers.

Actually four people expressed interest in playing in the xbox tourny but not one signed up so nobody else signed up. Signup.

I'm never open Thursday, but I take comfort in the fact that I suck and wouldn't be much of a speed bump anyways!

Dante/dead pool/Vergil is great fun but I can't seem to decide on another "just goofing off" team. Iron fist/doc strange/dead pool is what I'm thinking of now but I know next to zero things on the doc.

I enjoyed the jump loops on Sentinel. Just another reason that matchup is basically unwinnable for Sentinel.

This intro is pretty much the best thing ever, the combos are ok too I guess.

2-3 times a week I put this game in, go to training mode and practice foot-foot dive, hyper grav loops, and fly/unfly soul fists. I pretty much have it down. It's very consistent and I can pretty much do them without even thinking about it.

And then I go online and I can't do any of it.

Today I was trying to foot-foot dive and just getting M then S foot dive. I guess I was doing it too fast. It was throwing all my timing off. So when I'd land I'd do M then hard kick. Which just fucks up the timing on my next loop start. I'd try to slow it down, but then I'd miss other parts like the ADD or the OTG because I had to think about it again. Then I'd get all flustered because I know my hands are doing it the way I did it 1000x before, but it's not coming out with that I know I'm doing.

Then the guy I'm playing just turns around and does the combo I'm trying to do just fine.

So what is it? Do I just play online forever until I can do combos, or do I adjust that lag thing in training mode? If that works, what happens when I play offline? Will I have to adjust again?

Dren

Don't blame lag. Unless you have a ridiculously lovely connection you're probably dropping the combo because of the added pressure of all the other decisions you have to make during the match, not lag. Between rounds go into training mode and redo your combos a few times to refresh yourself. Keep playing matches, you'll get it.

Also, don't adjust the lag in training mode. Practicing like that fucks me up way worse.

A rule of thumb I use is: for every hour you spent learning a combo in training mode, expect it to take at least another hour of practice in actual games.

Also: If your combo is something like a solo combo, use someone like hsien ko assist to start it so you have an idea of if it will be safe off of random confirms.

If you're using it to OTG you need to do the jS REALLY close to the ground to have enough time for it to come out. If you're using it to control vertical space, it gets the job done, but comes out fairly slowly and gets stuffed a lot.

To be fair, all those combos they make you practice are totally useless (I never finished ten, either, and I tried for a good long time). The ones you'll be doing in actual fights are easier - not easy; just easier - and a lot more effective.

It's really good against Strider, Dante, Doom, and other characters that use down-moving attacks to get poo poo started. I had great success stuffing it into my Nova and Task combos as well.

Doom's style bugged the crap out of me too for a quite a while, but I practiced a little last night and was surprised by how fluid he seemed. I think a period of absence helped me unlearn some bad habits.

What's something specific you dislike about Doom?

I'm really bad at tri-dashing and thats pretty much all Doom does, also I dislike his face. At the moment I've gotten around using Doom but I'm sure after the next time I play Sputnik I'll scrap my new team as well. RIP my day one Sentinel you were too young and beautiful for this world.
