Lord Knight's GAMEPLAY RELATED QUESTIONS ONLY thread (EX edition)

[samthegreat]

Oh well, since other people are asking. GGs 2 nights ago, I had a great time. What did you think about my Valk (RideTheIcening)? What should I try to work on (other than execution; I drop so much combos online it's almost sad)? I'm thinking about the Litchi matches especially, I was so free against Tao lol.

EDIT: After tonight I'd say, Go back to training mode lol

EDIT2: k we've probably played over 50 games in the last few days and I have a loooot of trouble escaping your pressure. Back dash works but then I get the feel I can't stop you with ground normals (5C is kinda slow... 2B is good but will lose to air dash and stuff, so I'm scared to throw it out...) so I pretty much always try to jump and escape with wolf or whatever, almost became autopilot at this point lol, but you always catch me with the 5D staff release. What should I do to go back to neutral? Cause if I respect too much I know I'm gonna get hit and being cornered is pretty much game over with the level I'm currently at.

Any tips on how I can improve LK?

[Jyosua]

Hey LK! Any advice as to how to improve my pressure? Also, any other recommendations in general?

[TD]

quick question lk, what are the optimal corner daisharin setups in ex? l can only think of one...

[E3vE3 WAZ HEA]

just how good of a pressure string is

2a 5b 6a or 2a 5b 2b

it usually work against people who are blocking 13 orphans (as its hard to she what she is doing) but what do you think about doing it mid-screen or corner pressure w/o oki

[samthegreat]

I think he's talking about his Jin.

LK, is there any chance I could get some games in against you some time?

Um, what would be the best time to mash out of litchi during her block strings? I have trouble figuring out when she leaves herself open to get punished when I am getting pressured.

[sG]

Any time Litchi manually sets her staff down while pressuring you (when she uses 5D or 2D) are good times to try and hit a button. Be wary of her large amount of late-chains (delayed chain into a normal), if you are going by assumption and hitting buttons preemptively you're likely to be counter-hit.

I second this question. Litchi pressure makes me sad. I can block really well on a good day, but I have no idea when to get out.
