KagamineLenQ8 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5_EnWJqg0U i just downloaded Valkenhayn last night and this was my first player match using him. plz leave any advice and suggestion to improve on VK sorry for the bad quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warhound Report post Posted December 8, 2010 I'm not an expert, but I can tell you some things. Make more use of his human 5B and 5C. They are both excellent pokes, and a CH 5C can lead into Nacht Rozen (236C) into a good combo, and put them in the corner as well. His 2C is also a decent AA, that leads into some meaty combos as well. Enjoy it while you can, as it's probably going to be used as merely a combo tool in CSII. Biggest problem I see here, is that you're not utilizing his crazy ass damage to it's full potential. Don't finish off your combos with 236B~236B. Again, not a Valk expert, if someone else can expand on this (or correct me if need be) that would be schweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BladeOfJustice7 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 Oooooooh good quality. Good match, never seen Valk combo in to his Astral before. Sendatu has done it before I'm sure. And the shadow valk that Sophis postes up on youtube has done it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrionXElite Report post Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTErGVfexyk any critiques would be helpful I know hes still new to you but you're being way too passive. Valk thrives on relentless offense so when you just sit and block, he loses his intimidation. You also autopilot 5B>5C>236A like every Valk when they start out. Thats bad Its easy to IB and punish. You don't need to be pressuring them the whole time. Its perfectly ok to just end a blockstring on 5C and halt. unpunishable at max range and its super easy to hit confirm. Your combos are good but I would advise against using combos that burn your Wolf Meter down to a tiny sliver from full. You'll get used to them and try them when you don't have enough and run out be stuck in a really bad place. I tend to go for combos that leave me with about 25% left as a good backup. Another big thing, don't use your meter until it'll kill. Valk can't afford to be stuck on defence when his only real option is IB>6A. Save the meter for CAs as on CH, you get a small combo :3 Those are some good bases to start with. In short: Watch the autopiloting, be aggressive and save your meter. EDIT: One other thing I forgot to mention. I noticed you hit a couple random [H]j.Bs and only comboed it once. You can option select j.B and j.214B by inputting it just like you would in combo. If the j.B connects on either block or hit, the j.214B will come out just after. I strongly recommend doing this as j.214B is safe to use as it can Wolf Cancel after. Makes hit confirms a million times easier in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATGMantenbo Report post Posted January 21, 2011 great Advice, I tried implying what you said in my matches today and here's the result. no more fancy wolf combos and supers unless it's a killing combo. managed my wolf meter better. no scrubby autopilot for the most part. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOwX_BsD5ds critiques guys ,, BTW the song name is "wolf" im not even kidding hehe thx orion for the valuable advice, my valk is much better now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of needed improvements were there. As for fancy wolf combos, I suppose I worded wrong hat I thought the issue was. Doing long combos that burn most the Wolf meter is fine. But I noticed you liked to use the ender [H]5B>2C>JC>j.214B>9D>D>[H]j.B>dj.B>dj.C Now in some cases, this is a viable ender but in terms of using like full blown corner combos for max damage, this would be an issue. You can always go by my rule of thumb, 2 Wolf Dashes per combo is almost ALWAYS doable. 3 Dashes if they're short and you have full meter. Cause as it is now, you aren't getting any heat for some of the 2k combos you were doing. If you can, I always try and optimize heat gain for later in case I need it. His combos are total give and take. More Wolf Meter=More damage/heat. I always try and go for Max Heat gain cause in some matchups, you don't have 50 heat, you lose. Arakune is a BIG example of this. He curses you before you have 50 Heat, you lose. But other than that, you're doing well. My matches from the last tourney I went to should be up soon. Me in top 3 albeit I lost both matches, they should at least give you a couple ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrionXElite Report post Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E23lPrrclIM Uhh...Yeah heres my Winner's Finals match at the last NCI ranbat. I was having a few issues with the tourney nerves so its not my BEST performance annnnd I've learned about 1000 more things from that and am even better. Critiques are welcome and I will explain a few key things I trying out. @1:21- I went for a Psycho Crusher style crossup where you make the active frames of the [W]236A hit on the opposite side of them on their wakeup. What made me really mad was that I had actually timed it right and had he not mashed counter like a scrub, it would've work @2:16- I trying to use 6A to get out of the pressure but the clash came later than I thought and I messed up the followup so I just got hit for it...

ATGMantenbo Report post Posted January 21, 2011 :12 coulda 3D wolf canceled and hit him low into combo .. always works for me like in :15 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOwX_BsD5ds I like the wolf dashes you did at :22 pretty deceiving :46 really nice combo (I'm stealing that hehe) Question? can ppl confirm a 236C off 5C CH by reaction, I find it difficult but I do it every once in a while? 1:05 anti throw option select .. god I hate it when ppl do this to me 1:31 wait you can block after 6B first hit? and what throw combo do you do in corner? I do 2C > 6C > 2C > j.214B > 6B > 2C > W j.aaa > 236A > 236B > j.5C > etc 1:48 now I'm noticing the haku player is neutrally blocking high instead of low ... again 6c(whiff) wolf canceled to low woulda been nice 2:15 NICE! 2:17 going for a gold burst there .. it happens to me too lol all in all great performance EDIT: I managed to land a cool astral combo on a poor online Tagar, Enjoy hehe, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnAhXMNn3qA&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do 2C > 6C > 2C > j.214B > 6B > 2C > W j.aaa > 236A > 236B > j.5C > etc 1:48 now I'm noticing the haku player is neutrally blocking high instead of low ... again 6c(whiff) wolf canceled to low woulda been nice 1st: 5C CH>236C I can hit confirm on reaction about 80% of the time. I usually don't get the "OH SHIT" moments though. You'll get used to it as you learn him :3 2nd: No what happened was is hit bursted when the 1st hit connected and the 2nd hit whiffed entirely and its recovery is fast enough to block after. 6B is naturally burst safe. 3rd: Yeah I didn't notice that in match cause I too busy trying to figure out how the hell all that random shit was hitting me. And my Corner Throw combo is simple but awesome. Throw>Dash>2C>6B>2C>6C>2C>JC>j.214B>2D>[W]236B>j.236A>j.236B>CD>[H]j.B>dj.B>dj.C 4551 Damage/53 Heat Every Valk should know the bolded part. Its amazing filler to his corner combos and they him great Damage and Heat for it. 4328 Damage/49 Heat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STenSatsu Report post Posted January 22, 2011 I think you can fit in a [w] 236a before the 236b in your bolded version. Think you can also go full relaunch combo as well if you have wolf meter but you did say you don't like using a lot of meter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
