CHIPP MATCHUP INFORMATION Poking Game Strategy Specific Punishes Setups/baits Knowledge

AXL MATCHUP INFORMATION Poking Game Strategy Specific Punishes Setups/baits Knowledge I-no can STBT (41236S/HS) through Axl's 2p. Against, Axl's 5p, I-no can TK a 236 HS as low as possible and beat it, but whether it is worth it or not depends on distance because you may not reach him in time if too slow. Chemical love will win if you predict the 5p in advance. When doing 6p, 5hs, TK HCL 6FRC6, you may have to TK the HCL a little higher on usual on Axl. If done with any delay, a low TK HCL will black beat. I have no explanation for this but it is just something I've come across.

Slashback is 100% worth trying to get in special situations, where opponents do a move that has tons of recovery, but is hard to punish. That way, even if you miss, you won't eat a combo, unless you slashback too early. Aim for exact timing, also, slightly late slashback attempts won't get you hurt at all. Best examples: Badlands/TK Badlands 2nd hit Stun dipper 2nd hit (when Ky won't frc the stun dipper but does it spaced out, making it hard to punish) Sol no frc gunflame when used for pressure but you're too close to jump out. Johnny wake up super May whale super **I'll add more later** None of the above are very hard with practice. Just make sure you're confident with GG basics and slashbacks in general before you attempt them in matches, like Amadeous said above.

Jump forward, IB his 6hs, even in strings to get a guaranteed throw punish. Alternatively, IB the hit right before he strings to 6hs (2nd hit of 2hs, 5hs, etc.) and you can jump combo him out of 6hs (moderately difficult). If he strings into bomber from say a point blank 5k tk bomber, you can him out of the bomber before it comes down.

Did someone say roll?

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2048336 The youtube upload of this got blown up by Youtube/SONY of Japan, watch the nico one though. Has a combo vs Sol in almost every situation imaginable, and also specific punishes!

I'm game.

People should wear costumes to this NCI, there might be/might not be a nice bonus for those dressed up. At the very least I'll shake your hand and give you a nod of approval

At the start of the round or just in general? If you're close enough and you're at frame advantage I can see 2k winning easy, but the fact that Slayer has foot invincible frames during his 2hs is unnerving, so it is better to beat it with non-lows when possible.

SLAYER MATCHUP INFORMATION Kaimaku (Start of the match): I-no 5hs > Slayer 2d I-no 2s > Slayer 6p I-no 2s < Slayer 2hs I-no 6p > Slayer 5k (if in range)/6hs/Mappa punch I-no jump back S dive > Slayer 2d/2hs/6p (hold the dive momentarily) Poking Game Nearly non-existent. I-no 2s, 5k, 2hs, 5hs, 5s(far) are all good, but Slayer's ability to NOT BE THERE ANYMORE really messes with you. Poke with caution, mix in the occasional slightly-higher-than-tk height S dive, and tk S dive/2s into combos when you get him to block a 5k/5s(close) Strategy Slayer is a hard matchup, mostly because you can't do much at neutral, but he also seals his own grave half the time. He is almost always hitting buttons and even doing things on wakeup (BDC mappa/bite, BDC jump out of pressure and so forth), so it is up to I-no to establish momentum and control. How good you are as a player truly shows here for these reasons. First things first, your normals lose to his. Get over it Random HCL isn't well rewarded even from far away. Slayer can 66 -> cancel partway through to K mappa and hit you from almost full screen. Dandy step dodges HCL but an HCL as Slayer is already D-stepping will tag him. Knowledge *Slayer floats a bit from JC-able move xx JI-HCL 6frc6 j.s j.hs land (RIGHT HERE he is a bit floaty), so walk forward a step, then 5k JI HCL again, or even 5hs as soon as you land from the air dash j.hs and you can go into another JI HCL or even IAD j.k j.s VCL (2-frame link for the IAD section, meterless) *6p can stuff both of I-no's supers, but if the supers are done extra late, they will beat 6p. If you read that Slayer wants to 6p your super, a quick 2k 2s HCL will hit him out of it and score you a knockdown. *Slayer is more than tall enough for deep j.s okizeme jc j.s/j.k s dive to fuzzy guard him.

Updated Slayer vs I-no first post with some things, going to go through the entire character list with things I've picked up. Hopefully finishing by the end of the week. Oh and in response to pad I-no working, I believe it, except for 632146+_ being the hardest super motion to do on pad IMO.

Buy him T-pumps @ San mateo and he will be willing I wasn't serious either dawg

Just make Willy your bitch already, GGJ -_-
