My friend calls 50/50s cheap.

Recommended Posts

When it's laggy enough to actually matter because there's no time to register the switch, I can't do combos properly because most of the damaging ones require at least basic timing, while he just wins half the time by mashing Terumi's 5A/2A/5B/2B into braindead 22C combos that work exactly as well in heavy lag. When there's just a slight, almost unnoticable lag, all that happens is that the 6D/3D is a few frames faster than usual.

 

Most of the time though, what happens is that I get the upper sign somehow, then right after that I do a meaty 3D. Somehow it's always a CH(and then an easy 4k), even after using it many times, he still falls for it and there's no way that would connect even in heavy lag if he didn't just mess up.

 

 

I think you just won the thread...

Dude, I hardly use 22C outside of corner combos though, unless I'm actually going for a corner carry combo. And I mean when you can get 5K damage off of 5B in the corner with only 53 heat with Terumi, why wouldn't I? Brain dead or not, it's one of this strongest traits. I mean really though? I mean I'm just about always better off going for 236D, even at 100 heat.

As far as frame lag goes, I don't have a lagometer to say how bad it is for me when I play, though the highest I've had was 14 frames of lag against someone half a country away.
 
We still played and had a blast though.
 
DPs pwn everything in lag by the way. lol

Even factoring in netplay lag, if you lose to him then you have no one to blame but yourself for letting him get in. And complaining about his easily avoidable drive high/low? Has no one done instant cross-up specials on you yet???

What we all learnt from this thread is that Azrael is worse than Valk

 

I think what we learnt is the following:

Blocking is cheap and spamming block is bad.

 

Also, I'll add a small quote from here:

http://insomnia.ac/commentary/domination_101/on_cheapness/

""Cheap" tactics violate the sanctity of "blocking". All scrubs seem to feel that blocking should be some sort of unimpeachable stronghold -- a scrub "fortress of solitude"."

 

Blocking is cheap.

 

"Cheap" tactics violate the sanctity of "blocking"

 

Blocking is cheap.

What I've learned from this thread is that no matter how many times I think I've heard all excuses, another one is right around the corner

Oh man, these threads are goldmines.

 

Last week I was playing a friend in CP 1.1. Around the third match I thought he was starting to understand the game.

He picked Tao and at match start he backdashed and I jumped back.

He then proceeded to use Standing Barrier Block from full screen.

I was using Nu-13.

No points for guessing what happened. 236D. He watched it come and kept blocking high. I lol'd.

 

Then I did the 236D~C version. When he tried to block low after the third 236D I used Lambda's Forme 4D. Felt like I was playing Terumi. So much trolling.
