Chel is kind of garbage once you trap her in corner as dauntless. crouching medium into sp1 and counter her jump out attempts with crouching H. She doesn't have any good tools to get out of a corner if you arnt being baited into eating the upper. Just use normals and watch them start to get desperate.

I don't know if I like the cooldown system. There's a lot of times I try to do an uppercut or something and it turns out there was 0.3 seconds left on the cooldown and I eat poo poo. It's really hard to keep track of the cooldown. I'm guessing if you put like 30 hours into a character, you'll eventually know exactly when it's going to come off cooldown, but still. I think I prefer the simple Mortal Kombat style inputs over the cooldown system

Dash cancel more. It removes like 2 seconds or something from all cd's every time you do.

I had put in a bit of time with Dauntless, felt like I had some neat stuff figured out, then I started messing with Crow at my partner's urging. Why the Hell does Crow do so much damage? Crow gets as much with one KA as basically my best boxer combo blowing all resources. I gotta start actually playing some people, this game seems pretty neat.

Because once you get a down on crow he has no wake up options and you can just basically do whatever you want to him for free.

Ok my own personal Dauntless protips so far:

  • Learn to use kinetic advance combos after dust breaker and throw. The risk/reward on these sucks unless you can get the extra damage and corner carry.
  • Kinetic advance is also super good after cold drill, link to a light attack cancelled into dust breaker for a knockdown.
  • Crouching M into cold drill is a really great poke, if it hits go into the KA combo above for 200 damage or hit super if it's loaded, tons of time to confirm.
  • Don't EVER poke randomly OR end blockstrings with vandal hook (the forward advancing s3). It whiffs crouchers, this is very bad. Use cold drill instead.
  • Her far target combo version of MH seems like a decent poke in general, but it's really great versus talos because it straight up beats all his armor shenanigans. I don't know why, but it does.
  • Practice optimal punishes. Dauntless needs to take every bit of damage she can get or she loses. If you have super, do close H cold drill super. If you don't have super but have a KA charge, do close H dust breaker KA MH s3 s1. If you have no meter just do the target combo into s3 s1 juggle. If you start a punish with light attacks or a throw please punch yourself in the balls.
  • Cold drill has an air version that can be used to bait dps. Try it! You can also combo into it from jumping L (diagonal jump only) which seems at least interesting for air to airs, not sure if it's good yet.

Ok that's all please feel free to correct me or add to this bullshit thanks in advance!

Be careful with cold drill vs good chels and edges they can punish the poo poo on block with a full combo:\

Anyone have any tips vs edge as dauntless? He can punish my SP1 on block, able to jump over cr.H in corner and his DP self corrects. I'm having a real hard time pressuring him since he seems to be able to throw out everything safe on block or whiff as well except a really up close DP.

This is my first fighting game and still feel the initial learning curve is too steep, at least for me.

Combined with pings of 200-400, first impressions could have been better.

If that is your average pings either no one around you is playing or issue is on your end.

anime was right posted:

cooldowns dont change, so once someone uses a special move, you are just internalizing the cooldown timer. the only thing not showing the cooldowns does is hide what the persons loadout is until they use it, and there arent even icons that tell you that anyway.

basically, the intent as far as i can tell is to hide what the other person has set up to create sort of a metagame/information baiting situation, but since the special moves are so similar and not very powerful, i dont see this happening.

its supposed to be sort of like how in a card game, lets say hearthstone, you see the guy is a warlock, so you might think its zoolock, or handlock, but you can't assume until they make a couple of actions. but unfortunately this has the side effect of also causing you to play to as many options as possible in most cases, which is a restrained, less action oriented style of play, which makes the game slower.

if they want to go for a metagame heavy thing, they need more varied special moves, and it should still show the cooldowns after you use a move for the first time, same with kinect stuff.

It actually does. If someone waste a dp and i punish it I immediately do a heavy jab follow up punish knowing it's 100% safe now. I also know when i See Talos s1.2 that if he's charging a grab it's anti air which if he had s1.1 would be a mind game. Dauntless s1.2 requires 100% different punish timing then s1.1 as well. Not all useful to know like that but def some.

This is actually my whole problem with it. I'm stuck in silver because they are matching me exclusively with people as good as or better than me so I'm only winning 50% of my games or so. Most of my matches are diamond/master/legend but they don't count for any extra points so I'm just seesaw-ing silver ranks even though my apparent peers have blown past gold already (I presume it was much easier to do so in the game's first week or so)

IT sounds like you aren't consistent honestly. I was stuck at gold then diamond and now in master mostly because winning a streak gives you many more points then losing does.

Mattavist posted:

Is it? I thought it was always one point per game, so you're only getting more for wins if you're consistently winning 2-0 and losing 1-2.

On streaks you get +2 for wins. You SHOULD be getting some streaks even if you're winning 50% of the time. Your win streaks will give more overall points then losing streaks take.

(basically unless you lose more then 50% of the time everyone should eventually hit legend with this system given enough games)

Not sure but my understanding is when you can tech a fall you hit a special button right before landing. To quick rise you hit any attacks while on ground. that seems really weird to me and not sure 100% how it works and we've never had devs explain.

I felt like everytime I tried to tech, I get severely punished and it's worse than actually taking the knockdown.

That tech has invinc frames followed by recover frames so if they're rushing you down it's a bad idea. Quick get up is good because it fucks up their meaty cross over or over head timing. (don't always do it mix it up so they don't know when you're going to get up)
