RisingStars Report post Posted December 15, 2005 I have some real begginner May Questions to ask. Due to my lack of match vids w/ May (if anyone could provide me w/ some it would be great), what do you guys normally poke with for May? Or do most players find a opening or just dolphin across to poke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pulsr Report post Posted December 15, 2005 her best poke will probably be k just because of its low recovery, far slash is fine and all until they iad at you and rape you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shinquickman Report post Posted December 15, 2005 5k for a safe poke, 2s for a fast one (well, at least in May's standards). Of course, you're not gonna want to poke all that much 'cause almost everyone out-pokes May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zand Report post Posted December 16, 2005 5H is also a great poke, don't count it out! Use it like you use Jam's 2S (as stuffing something early~) Dolphin across and upper are absolute shit for pokes. I think all characters save for Testament can 6P them. If you're just learning GG, I'd get the basics down with a better character and come back to May and still see if you want to play her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhaethonH Report post Posted December 16, 2005 When I started with May, my main poke was 6P... pulsr might remember that period of my May career... Nowadays I use S(f) or 2S, sometimes gatlinged into a (whiff) 5H for recovery purposes. Spamming 2P seems to work wonders against Slayer. I tend to use 5K for offenses/meaty, so if I do use it as a poke, I don't pay attention to my use of it as a poke... I mean, 5K (now) seems great for poking, but I never saw it that way before.

Arvandor Report post Posted December 19, 2005 For example, Anji's cower in fear against the 2HS. I think Zappa might have a hard time with it to. It seems to work okayish on Jam, who else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pulsr Report post Posted December 19, 2005 it works well on johnny, but then again 2hs is basically a move where you are fishing for a counter hit you can land, a bit more reliable then 6p spamming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
