smooshman Report post Posted December 23, 2009 I actually managed to find a video of myself at the recent PSN tournament... it was a laggy match so some of the stuff I messed up on or didn't try to do... so it's not my besthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXw-8JOhUoo&feature=PlayList&p=FCF9C596401B2E10&index=6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lxMetalSonicxl Report post Posted December 24, 2009 Gah...GODDAMNIT smooshman... Too much ice blade. I only saw like one combo bad meter management need to hit confirm stuff like 2C CH on crouching Too much ice blade Even though you screwed up and did Sekka-Jin, at least do the combo. Too much ice blade. You dp on wakeup too much You attack too recklessly during blockstrings Too much ice blade.... Look up some combos, learn them, and then apply them in a match.

BANGER Report post Posted December 24, 2009 smooshman, I really hope lag fucked you up, because if that was representative in any way of how you play, I don't think your Jin needs advice; I think you need to work on fighting game fundamentals first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lxMetalSonicxl Report post Posted December 24, 2009 I'm dying from these vids, oh god. Here. there. blades of ice! scatter! succumb! ready? That was all I was hearing through the match, english jin is hilarious. Oh, but the gameplay was the same as the first match pretty much. Your opponent was worse off than you though, so don't feel bad. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to kill myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smooshman Report post Posted December 25, 2009 Considering that it looked nearly the same as the last vid, just read Banger's post. okay... here's that post: smooshman, I really hope lag fucked you up, because if that was representative in any way of how you play, I don't think your Jin needs advice; I think you need to work on fighting game fundamentals first. so by this logic I should just give up all hope of ever trying to be good, because all my hours of practicing while simaltaneously trying to be the smallest bit different, and that all my attempts were in vayne because I can never reach your level of above-mediocre, and should just go back to waiting for FFXIII because the JRPG combat can't be cocked up by my inaptitude, as long as I know how to push 1 button I'll be okay... now I have to go back to adjusting my party's stats... sorry for wasting your time my hope of not sucking...

PhoenixBR Report post Posted December 25, 2009 For how long have you been playing? First thing you need to do in order to be good is to change language to japanese. After that, it becomes soooo much easier. Seriously now, watch combo videos such as Athena, Cyclone, Just Like Me and another one that has something to do with Candles... I forgot. Try to use that information, I'm sure it will improve your gameplay a lot. Practice combos, set ups and resets. Know your moves and how to have an upper hand when you get your opponent knocked down. One more thing: use "A" more. It's very, VERY useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wing Report post Posted December 26, 2009 smooshman, I really hope lag fucked you up, because if that was representative in any way of how you play, I don't think your Jin needs advice; I think you need to work on fighting game fundamentals first. wow disappointed in you, douche much? anyways smoosh, i've got advice for u. 1. don't always ice sword after 5d, becomes predictable 2. stop throwing out random EX ice swords, great way to lose 25 heat 3. try not to use up ur meter every chance u get 4. too much j.d, only use that in a combo or mindgame purposes 5. if u see ur opponent crouching while ur in you're combo, 6c them 6. don't whiff out specials too much, jin's specials have crap recovery 7. too much random jumping and whiffing moves that's all i really saw and if u work on how to fix those problems, i'm sure you'll do much better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BANGER Report post Posted December 26, 2009 wow disappointed in you, douche much? I don't post to please anyone here. He posted a video, he wanted advice, and I gave it to him, and I honestly thinks he needs to cover basics first. Without that, he'll just do whatever he's told and not understand the reasons behind them, the tradeoffs, and other crap. smooshman needs to lurk around a bit. That's the best advice I can give him regarding BB and this site. DL already has a ton of info; enough for him to be up to speed in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nov Ganon Report post Posted December 29, 2009 @mazterskill1 its a couple things u can work on but your on the right path... just know if the combo is to long like the one u did in the second round around 1:10-1:18 ice car wont connect so just keep that in mind but other than that keep it cool man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways I'll do my best to improve more... thanks for the advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lionheart Report post Posted January 5, 2010 smoosh, i agree with banger. You need to work on the basics of fighting games, aka thinking. It'll do you no good to know how to reset if you dont know what do to afterwords and when to do it, etc. If you continue to play against DECENT people then you will naturally pick up the "thinking" skill, but it takes a while. soooo i guess have patience and learn your BnB's for now.

Lionheart Report post Posted January 6, 2010 my point is that you will never be the best you can be if you wont "play to win". Refusing to play to win is a scrub mentality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryokoalways Report post Posted January 6, 2010 Then it's just redundant. There is no such thing as refusing to play to win. Also, the subject should be focused on how much a player weighs the importance of winning, which should be very little. It's a relative measure, nothing more.
