Me and sonmoot have been practicing joker for a bit and while we find him rather fun, we can't seem to figure out any combo's. Anybody got any tips?

We were trying to work that gas can in.

Best we got was 32 xx bbMB,323

Joker's parry blocks overhead attacks including the armored version of b3 or f3.

EDIT: Also, thanks for the games, Fibby!

You too. We ended up figuring out that his trait counters everything but projectiles and grabs. Didn't try it on any supers though.

Yeah, I try to MB all of those gas cans because they are all great on MB. Try 32xx Kick-gasMB j2 32xxflower. Should be a pretty decent damage and you might be able to MB that flower. If that doesn't work end it with a MBCrowbar or pistol.



Can't meter burn flower or gun sadly.

Didn't mean to insult anyone here last night, nor did I mean to put anyone down for being competitive. I have not played against a single goon who has been anything less than helpful. This is a great community for getting casual people who usually just want to spam special moves or throws (me in every previous fighting game) to actually learn how to play. You guys rock, seriously.

I'm pretty happy the fights against my really bad Grundy have been helpful.

Not specifically BF inputs but all inputs are harder online. There's a stream of a very good player who has done very well at tournaments doing random ranked matches and he drops over 2/3rds of his combos.

Yeah I can't get any of my grundy inputs to come out correctly when I need them in ranked. Black Adam using his dive kick only? Well an anti air grab will take care of thWHAT THE gently caress WHY ARE YOU SWINGING HELPLESSLY AT THE AIR?!

Edit: I can't loving win because none of my inputs go through correctly.

If you're losing 40 games in a row or not landing a single combo its probably not just the connections fault you're losing unless you're on dialup!

I'm actually on really bad wifi. Like I said my problem was I could get walking corpse out so I could get in. I know I'm by no measure a good player but I know I'm not that loving terrible. I have the exact same problem in 1v1 matches with soonmot.

I did finally win against a green arrow. Now that I have the Green Lantern's yellow costume I don't have to play ranked again!

So far I've mostly been catching streams of this game whenever I can, probably gonna give in and pick it up some time soon since it looks really fun as well. Though I'm surprised nobody uses the Joker, like is he not very good, too difficult, reliant on certain stages or something?

As far as I can tell he doesn't really have much going for him aside from his counter ability. Doesn't have too high of combo potential and all his specials seems to be situational.

Note that I'm not good at this game and better players will most likely have a better answer.

Soul Calibur 5 is a well made fighting game with good online functionality and nobody plays it.

Soul Calibur 3 is a fighting game that completely killed the Soul Calibur scene in the U.S and Asia by being a buggy, horrible to play mess with no redeeming qualities except here's a lovely character creation mode and a bunch of a superfluous singleplayer horseshit.

I never played 3 since I didn't own a ps2. Don't have an opinion on that game. I did have 2 and 4 and both of those were great. I absolutely despised five though.

I can't stop playing Grundy.

I keep going "Grundy sucks, I'm going to play somebody else" then I hate them and go back to Grundy.

So I guess try Grundy?

This is basically me. My thought process is something like this:

Man I love throwing people around but Grundy has problems getting in on decent people. Maybe I should go into practice and try out someone.
Oh hey, Lobo is rather fun. Let's give him a shotOH GOD WHERE'S MY ARMOR?! gently caress that, I'm going back to Grundy.
Huh, Joker is pretty fast. I might be able to work out something with him. Aaaaand I just sorta flailed around. Grundy it is then.

It was unclear to me at first, too, but what it is is that the extra lightning damage applied to your punches does the same bonus damage on hit and on block, and it registers in training as unblockable. The fists themselves are still blockable and do their normal damage, too.

Unless you mean other fighting games, those games aren't nearly as finicky as fighting games and have plenty of ways to get around lag and bad connections while keeping a fairly good baseline for online play. Short of GGPO games that explicitly work to eliminate the effects of lag, fighting game netcodes aren't all that great in general.

Yeah the best one I've seen lat wise was Blazblue: Continuum Shift. It's way of dealing with lag was that if one person slowed down, both players slowed down. Otherwise the inputs felt crisp and responsive.

Anyways really fun matches tonight with Soonmot. Learned a couple things about Shazam and you learned a couple things about Joker! I call that a win-win.
