{AC+R} Video Thread

Recommended Posts

Haha, those videos are called "Look at all these matchups that haven't changed from AC." Like seriously.

Dizzy: Is a gross matchup. All the reasons she's terrible for Axl to fight are definitely amplified by the new stuff, and having new approach tools (Bomber FRC, 2P into 6H, shorter Rashou feint) only seems to help AZ out a little bit. Have fun blocking mixup for a year or eating huge damage if you ever fight a dizzy in +R. Jesus fuck that looks stupid.

Sol: Okay so like honestly Ide-san does not look good here. I haven't seen enough of him to know if he just had an off-game or whatever, but he's missing basic stuff, making a lot of really random-looking choices, and just isn't playing very well. The matchup kind of looks like it does in AC since it's so neutral-game heavy for both players, but it's just hard to tell because Ide-san is playing so poorly.

I-No: Isn't I-No supposed to be better this game? Doesn't look like it in this matchup, mostly because it's still a terrible hard counter for her, what with still having to approach mostly from the air or in prime 2H/3P range. 2H being a better tool, as well as being able to confirm damage from those far-away AA hits means Axl just got even more able to shut down pretty much all her tools.

Zappa: Heh. Here Jobana seems to want to demonstrate how even when the super seems like a good plan, it probably isn't. But despite Zappa's crazy new shit, Axl basically fights him the same as in AC: Bait out stuff, only use conservative mixup options (So as not to eat a random 6P, 5K, or dragonpunch), go for a lot of throws, stay at midrange whenever possible, and fish for anything you can when the damn triplets are out, because you don't want to deal with triplets.

Faust: Okay honestly this just looked like Jobana being patient and making some good guesses. I can't say I know enough about the Faust matchup to say whether it's indicative of anything besides Jobana being awesome.
