Interesting. Many thanks for the help, guys :D

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is there any practical usage for the followup to Tager's Magnatech Wheel DD other than extra damage to tack on if it hits? Is it even the best thing to do if the Wheel hits, or are there other superior options yet?

The Going My Way FRC also is fun in that it can send Faust to the ground ridiculously fast, so if your opponent is being canonical and blocking it high you can throw a 2.P and get a nice ridiculously prorated combo going from the crouching punch. Not really Faust related but I'd just like to say "HERE COMES DAREDEVIL" on a J-style cabinet where I can't see the opponent or hear the credit ring, scares the living shit out of me.

Are you holding down the button? As of AC, Faust needs to hold down a button (any button...except Dust---and start of course---but it would be nice if Dust was just old-style random select) to manually assign the angel. Mindgames, son. Unless you're playing on a US-style cabinet, then it's just punching the MF in the face who decided to look at your buttons. Or save your tension for RCs and FBs.

Firstly, thank you all for your criticisms---I have taken them to mind and I seem to be improving...well, I hope so anyhow, cause sometimes it's hard to tell. I'm a little confused as to how exactly to link Faust's 2D,2S into an air combo. Whenever I try to get it set up the opponent seems to instantly air recover. When exactly do I mash up to leave the ground? Does it have to be neutral up, or can it be 7/9? Also, is the same general setup possible if I link the 2S into a 5K? Forgive my newbie-ish questions but given the number of factors involved here, I can't be 100% sure about how anything really works...it's like a game of Mastermind or something. heheh. Next is a somewhat related issue and that's Faust's dust/aerial-rave whatever. 9 times out of 10 the Dust will abruptly end after the 2nd HS, as the S will completely whiff (I am referring, of course to the HS,HS,S,K,P,K,etc.) I've noticed my limited successes come from manipulating 8 on the joystick off and on, but the question is when exactly? Aaaand my last question today isn't really Faust-related (er, not even general, so much as meta-game) but I'm curious as to if anyone has any tips for dealing with overheads and/or mix-ups. Today the game center was, dare I say, infested with Sol and Slayer players (one Sol of whom was apparently well-known in Japan, but when I asked who he was I got his real first name, so no help there---but I digress) and I didn't so much get my ass kicked 8 times in a row by Slayer so much as get owned time and time again by his completely untelegraphed overhead kick...very frustrating and only causes me to wonder when the hell this game became Tekken (since the last GG I actually played was GGX. That is to say, one X.) Okay, that was a smidge too long...>_> But seriously, any assistance there would prevent about 94 future headaches---the worst kind. Okay, thank you to everyone who is taking the time to help me improve. Have a good one.

Hey everybody---not too active in here it seems, but I come, like pretty much anyone else here, trying to improve my Faust game. I'm living in Japan and after finding a semi-hidden game center over here, I must confess that the local GG scene is absolutely nuts; four AC machines, almost always occupied, with winstreaks that have approached the triple digits...anyhow, with that said, I would like some feedback, advice, criticism, etc. in regards to this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oCZqjSNbSpI I realize I'm not the greatest (or even great), but any/all feedback would be pretty nifty. Thanks, Gerk
