I think it went over your head because he's saying that the post must have been a hard read because damage or not, those all stil start with HK, which he then explains is inferior because some punishable moves that can be CC'd leave the character crouching. Like Chun post Ex SBK. just like in the video he posted, but he didn't post her doing sbk.

And this is one of the many recent games where not using meter is ??? because you get it for like breathing air.

I dunno a lot of things go over my head, but its easy to hit everything with st.hk minus karins ex as CC so that is better is all I am saying.

and st hk always does more dmg

Karin's stHK is pretty good, though. Granted it doesn't have the silly range of some other HKs but it's not stubby either.

Not to poop on your work but I have been working on Vega and I got all that beat.

cc no bar:
(claw) st.hk, st.hp, stance switch, st.lp, cr.mp mk roll 306/525
(no claw) st.hk, st.hk, st.lp, cr.mp, mk roll 315/525
ex walldive
(claw) st.hk, st.hp, stance switch, st.lp cr.mp ex walldive->izuna 350/541
(no claw) st.hk, cr.mk st.mp->hk, ex walldive-> izuna - 361/501

For everyone except for Karin basically, st.hk really is superior.

For every single one of those st. LP to cr. MP, you pretty much always have to start the combo point blank, which isn't always an option when you set up a frame trap or block a reversal. Also those mk roll enders don't give you a knockdown to work from.

In my experience, unless it's something like a shoryuken or necalli's DP, you're almost never at point blank range on a CC opportunity. I'd rather just train myself to use the standing fierce counter combo by default.

Also, that last crush counter EX wall dive starts with claw off. I was just trying to give good options with claw on scenario. Yes, I already use that last combo when the claw is off.

I don't think any shooter is gonna be able to replicate CS:GO's success anytime soon. It had a very unusual surge in popularity at some point down the line after an okay launch and it just exploded and kept growing.

Agreed Counter Strike is a unique beast with a very large appeal due to its history. A lot of people who play and watch CSGO are the same people who were playing 1.6 in College. CSGO is also focused towards competitiveness, while I'm sure Overwatch will have a scene it doesn’t seem that is Blizzards main focus.

Surprisingly short range: check
Glacial startup that moves you forward into the foot your opponent probably stuck out: check
Almost zero followup options from anything other than point blank: check

I disagree with your assessment.

This may not look like much, but I'm still relatively new to FGs and I think this is one of the first times I identified someone doing really predictable stuff and was able to adjust and get in consistent punishes. What are some things I should be mixing in to my gameplay? I feel like the MP->HP->HK isn't the best punish, but it's the easiest one for me to pull off.

You need to practice your shoryuken anti airs, and do some crush counter drills. Ryu's target combo is okay, but it whiffs crouchers. You should work on adding his b. HK and f. HP into your repertoire.

Agreed, I really don't go for anti-airs as much as I should. I think part of it is I am trying to get out of the habit of throwing out random shoryukens, which tends to puts me in a bad spot. I'll work on it with a jump-in dummy.

Nov 8, 2011

you have no dignity
4 frame punish: st.lk xx hp dp / mk tatsu (tatsu whiffs on crouchers)

your 5 frame go to punish for anything close:

st.mp, cr.hp xx hp dp / mk tatsu (cr.hp forces stand, so tatsu will never whiff)

DP / invul reversal punish combo:

crush counter st.hk , st.hk, s.lk xx hp dp / mk tatsu (doesn't work on karin)


you can practice defending against fireballs and jump-ins by recording a dummy ryu to randomly switch between throwing a fireball (try to neutral jump or parry it with ryu) and doing a jump in (try to DP it)

No, Street Fighter will never be nearly as popular if for the simple fact that DOTA2 barrier to entry is free to play + runs on any poo poo pc, while Street Fighter is free to play for $50 and barely runs on any pc. Also DOTA2 is being heavily backed by Steam, who have a "little" more money to throw around compared to on-the-verge-of-death Capcom.

Also mobas are designed so they can be played by someone who is functionally retarded whereas is you are bad at fighting games, you will lose and can't blame it on your teammates. You also need to put in effort to practice doing even the most basic things and the average person can't even do a fireball motion.

Well it's a different kind of skillset. The top players could start half a dozen fresh accounts and get them all to the top of the ladders with ease and with very high win rates. Some people just have a talent for understanding how to win a team game(I sure don't). That's not to say all the mobas out right now aren't terrible(they are).

I also find it really hard to figure out how to improve in mobas. You can look at something and say "did I play that situation well enough? or did we get hosed over by bad decisions from teammates? should I have told them what to do? should I have expected them to make poor choices and adjusted my own play? or should I have played the way I did but better? or did I play well enough where if everyone played at this level we would have won?" who the gently caress knows the answers to any of those questions, it's impossible to tell(for me at least).

In a fighting game there is literally no one to blame but yourself(ok fine, lag for online play). You can pick the same character as the other guy, do the same moves as him, there are no teammates to blame, etc. It's all on you. That's kind of awesome.

I feel like progression in a fighter or any other heavily skill based game feels more rewarding, too. In a lot of RPGs and like, every MMO ever, you grind experience points and get loot that makes your character's numbers go up. However, you the player are really getting all that better. In fighters, your character stays the same, but it's YOU who level up and get better. Practicing and being able to do things you once thought impossible feels good.

I guess that's actually over half of most of the cast, but still. All the "big damage" like that is so impractical from a gameplay perspective it's hard to get excited about it. Full meter and a v-trigger when you need a comeback? It can happen, but yeah.

Alex seems like a step in the right direction combo-wise, at least. Still can't get over nobody getting anything real off jabs.

Yeah, there's that side of the argument, fighters are more execution and skill heavy, while mobas tend to be more about knowledge, information retention and memorizing excel spreadsheets. But, if you want to be decent in a game like DOTA and not actively undermine your team every single second of the match, there's a lot more bullshit to memorize and be aware of than you might think. I guess it's debatable and you can't really compare the gameplay styles side by side since it's totally different fundamental skillsets. I don't really believe you need to be a genius to be good in Street Fighter either, the functionally retarded have no issues picking it up and getting quite far (e.g. Street Fighter V players that started with Street Fighter IV.) There's plenty of overlap when you get into the psychology aspect of any player vs player game overall though.

cr.mp and cr.hp both work fine in stuffing it as long as you are on the ball. Vega actually has it a bit easier than most with it.

claw st.hp into stance switch is minus 2. There is basically no reason for someone not to hit buttons after they see st.hp since st.hp->back claw special is a true blockstring so nothing would come out anyway.

I don't think that's true. I've hit people with the claw swipe as counterhit after they blocked the st. HP.

Well.. no. You can use it to test and see if your opponent has been conditioned to do nothing on block. If they have, then it's time to go for the command throw.
