Although I haven't joined any Netplay matches with Dustloop users yet, I guess it's a good idea to share my current struggles as a beginner Tsubaki player; based on matches I've done all day with friends on near level of my play.
-Batousai's 5A > 5CC > 214214D > 623D > j.236D > j.214D > 2CC > IAD j.CC > 5C > 2C > j.CC > j.236A > j.214C helped a bit in understanding how to do a basic combo with a pad, but I'm still having trouble with the 214214 movement. This applies to 236236 movement when I try to finish a combo with it. I think I nearly broke the pad when I was trying to do these movements...>.>
-Accidental 236236C's due to trying for 236C's isn't helping at all.
-Learned today that j214C is really fun to use to push away foes and then get a bit of charge in.
-22C and its variations are easy to do in a pad, but I should remind myself not to mash "D" when trying to do 22D.
-I know 214C and its variations have uses of their own...but I haven't figured out what yet.
--Also, does 214C have invincibility frames?...
-Using 236C and its variations for "approaches" gets me punished a lot...I'm assuming they are mainly for use in combos...?
-It's hard to know when to whiff, but I'm still in training wheels, so the more I practice the more I'll learn.
I'll post more notes as I play.
