Tiamat

he can do double butterflies with no timing requirement

but he had his 6H in XX and Reload! OMG so cheap!

I hope they don't make any more GGXX versions so all this will be pointless.

they took out the guaranteed orb knockdown cause it was too good. being able to combo into a high damage knockdown combo off tons of stuff is a common characteristic of top tier characters they have no excuse for the 5S guard meter thing though, that's just stupid

it's not a perfect science

This is the first game where Zappa isn't bottom 3 on the tiers so he's made quite a jump with Accent Core.

to combo into orb you generally need the corner also the jH into jD is sort of character specific. before doing whatever your starter is for the juggle (5SS or whatever) let them fall about horizontal to you before hitting them. then superjump at themwith jK and delay it as long as you can with still being able to gatling to jS, then do jSHDorb

wouldn't it be the reverse? shouldn't you have a slight advantage at match start when she doesn't have any shit out yet? edit: I want to make it clear that I'm not saying anji has advantage in this matchup, just that at match start I think he has advantage. I also think he has advantage at match start on Sol, but that doesn't mean the matchup is Anji's advantage

I think it's 5-5 personally. superjump K ftw

it's just prediction honestly, that's all there is to it

hey dan this is cool, why don't you post these things on the HnK forum too? =D

I still say 7-3 or 6.5-5.5 at best. As dawnbringer said, lots of jump FDs and dash brakes would be helpful as well. At far distance you can use zoning butterfly without much risk and it may help you get in. If you bore axl enough he may try to come in on you so keep your eye out for when he tries to do that. Otherwise you'll have to get in on him sooner or later, which is a pain.

3K because it beats her normal mode 236P I assume?

hmm yeah I should have mentioned this, haven't tried in match play but on training mode it worked nicely throw > shitsu if you dash in with 2S and use it at a far range, you'll hit him if he does GB and also cause his storm viper to miss so it baits both thank you for the input

I notice you commented on one of my videos. Coincidentally I do a wakeup 3K autoguard against Slayer's 2K in that one so maybe that would be demonstration for you if you didn't catch it the first time. Only do if you are pretty damn sure though cause in general the risk vs reward is not so hot, but used sparingly can get you out of a lots of shit.

sometimes you are too far away even for dashing fujin, but usually it's not the case. make sure to go on training and make sure your 2366H input is correct, you may also want to delay it a little bit I like iad SH cause I think it has more range than dashing fujin but that doesn't work on everyone. i use it somewhat often against Sol if the 2D hits too far away and you are midscreen against someone like, ky, i think you are shit outta luck though, run up and shitsu oki i guess

yeah that's a good one even though it's pretty old not so bad matchup because of anji's aerial manuverabilty and that when you get eddie under pressure you can do whatever you want really I don't think there's anything wrong with putting match vids in the matchup threads though, rather, I think it would be a good idea.

I dunno about making a whole thread but basically 6K and 3K are the moves used with intent to autoguard because they activate from frame 1, meaning you can do them while rising after a knockdown. you may as well think of them as parries in this game because of how rarely they occur unless you try for it, since other than 6S none of anji's moves with autoguard property are good poles as for what specials to use from the autoguards, use K for ground to ground, use P for anti air. generally any move that causes the opponent to jump you are better off going for P, such as against slayer's 6K, sol's riot stomp, etc there are a lot of projectiles and things that are pretty safe to autoguard into K special unless they have meter to frc. for example as long as not too far away K special is guaranteed after autoguarding a gunflame from sol, however if he frcs he will be able to block it other than the P and K specials you have the D and the overdrive ones. D one is very unsafe if they burst at the right time as you are going up because they will land before you and get free combo, so be careful with it and try not to use in a situation where it could be blocked or bursted. They can probably instant kill you if either of those happens. overdrive is not burstable obviously but if they manage to block it for whatever reason you'll be in for a world of hurt. the plus side of these is that they have huge hitboxes so you don't have to distinguish between whether they are in the air or the ground.

I wish. I seen him at two C3 tournaments in northern VA. He actually beat me first round at the Nov C3, which was when I first met him, and played casuals with him at the Dec C3 even though I didn't enter cause I was feeling sick. I went back to college and couldn't get a ride so I missed the big C3 on Saturday that kenji won. Sometimes I talk to him on aim though and I copied a couple things from when I played him. He's got crazy amount of matchup exp compared to me among other things. He actually uses 3Sc combos in tournaments now. and his zappa is broooke. lol Hey guys from now on I propose that when talking about 3S cancels we just type "3Sc" for easiness. like 5S 3Sc 5S

are there any other characters that can always tech after ice spike besides baiken?

yeah that's what I thought but someone told me even though the range is increased, it's still not quite Sol's range...but yeah I'll have to check it myself, though range is a more ambiguous thing to test than say, damage.

ah I didn't think of using 2P, thanks. think I'll watch some match vids...

alright thanks for the input, though someone else told me that his 2D has less range than sol's but maybe I'll just have to check on that for myself

cool I'll try that out, what's the version you'd do to keep knockdown? i did f.S into another ice spike and it gave knockdown but i only got it in corner, is that what you're supposed to do?

I'm learning Dizzy sorta and I was wondering about throw combos. I'm surprised there isn't a basic throw combo in here. I know usually it's like dash 5K/2K into f.S ice spike. I was wondering if you can get a better combo in the corner. Also if you frc the spike, can you get a combo midscreen or do you need corner? what's best after the frc? sorry for all the questions
