Hey cams, I believe Laura beats Gief, how come you don't think so? It feels like charged fireball fucks his poo poo up.
in order to get off a 2 durability fireball without any chance of punishment, she has to be at almost full screen away. she does a great job keeping gief away with fullscreen fireballs, but she has to give up space the entire time. you gotta be patient and walk her into the corner, but if you do it there is 0 reason she shouls escape the corner against you.

"use your normals and be patient" shuts down laura's entire game plan. if you crack and start actually doing things laura can take advantage of, then yeah she can get her setups and resets going.

it's kind of why i doubt she'll get much love when it comes time to adjust the roster, because her inside game is legit. she just 100% relies on forcing errors to do get inside, and that's not a smart way to beat good players.

I'm really enjoying Necali right now. I've done a few long sets against my roommate's Birdie and it feels moderately even, because if you can get inside even once you're going to do about half of birdie's health and 75% of his stun in just a few seconds. Plus he gets crazy annoyed at how activating Super Saiyan is instant for Necali, so I can just do it on reaction to anything he does and figure out the safest response. I need to practice actual max-damage punishes, but right now I seem to be working out well just doing his easy MK-HK-V-skill target combo. I still haven't figured out a good way to use his horizontal dash attack, though. It's just so unsafe and dangerous that every time I do it I eat a massive punish. Am I missing something on how to use it or is it sort of a 'avoid this move' thing?

If you check my post history, earlier today I linked to a really useful Necalli resource that lists the best punishes for every matchup in the game right now.

EDIT: Beaten, but his dash punch is basically best used in two ways that I've seen:

1) Finishing a combo, or

2) Anti-airing with jumping MP, then as they land fire off an EX dash move

The point is that you want to push them into the corner; if you're hitting with MK reliably enough, try practicing linking crouching MP into LP dash, and that's a solid bread-and-butter combo for Necalli you've got down.

As a fighting game n00b, I read Gootecks' new book, starting to use the training manual that came with it, watched his 3-part beginner tutorial and 3-part Xavier Woods SFV basics, and currently reading Patrick Millers' old book.

I can't wait to play the game, be terrible at it, but at least have some starting foundation to know why I'm sucking.

Probably missing a lot here, but normals can be cancelled into command dash, and in v trigger her command dash goes pretty far.

command dash can be cancelled into/out of with specials. laura secret i haven't fit into my game yet, she can cancel into specials at the end frames of her command dash.

The way they handle lag in this game, do you need to hit buttons right on or a bit ahead?

Do people with fightpads use their fingers or thumbs on the face buttons (or is close to evenly split)?

I've seen the majority of pad players use fingers. The current Mad Catz fight pad also seems to prefer fingers based on the way it's shaped.

A few things, I'm happier with my movement, but I didn't tick throw despite trying to practice it. Perhaps I'm really stupid but I don't feel like it's that practical on Laura?

I still jump too much, but I have difficulty approaching as Laura.

Also the mic volume and sound should be fixed, although the video might be a bit loud so I'd suggest turning it down before you start it. If people are game I'll record a series of 5 games every so often trying to incorporate what I'm being told. But equally if you're sick of my voice just say and I'll stop.
