Eddie in Accent Core: A Comprehensive Guide

[thegame4ever]

I like your method of thinking, you'd rather set them up in a better position, while I go for saving my tension to dealing with whichever my opponent is in. Also after Damned Fang you can IAD j.S into a shadow gauge building blockstring, that also builds tension. Also saving up that tension is psychologically better for you since your opponent is going to fear a 22D, and you should get used to adapting a followup to wherever Damned Fang lands (midscreen, corner). That 25% could really save you later on. I suggest you tend to do it when you have full tension or 75% meaning you can afford to position them, it's also a battle of meter-managing.

Yeah, good call. Haha, I used to do something like that back when we'd run casuals pretty much every day (before everyone around here pretty much stopped playing ). I was always a fan of summoning the shadow and starting pressure with it off of a blocked 22D since it's a lot harder to escape than something like 5HS, etc. I noticed that after I started doing this, whenever I had 25% I could actually get some pretty free summons off of 5HS and the like; since people were too scared to try and 1f jump/backdash out of stuff like 5HS xx 22D, they'd end up respecting stuff like 5HS xx 236[H] -K-, etc.

And yeah, I generally tried to save meter as much as I could when playing Eddie unless I was sure I could build it back shortly after. Since a good deal of my matches were against a friend who played Venom, I got accustomed early to sitting in blockstun for about a year if I didn't have 50% for DAA since, as lackluster as it is overall, it felt like the most reliable option for getting out of that pressure.

This is a nice one. I've used it to get the killing blow when I had no Eddie meter.


Corner only:

623S, 41236PKS(quick tap to negative edge j.SG), PKS(1hit SG), j.d, land, j.k, j.h, j.d, land, sj.h, sj.d

50% tension instead of the 25% from normal Damned Fang FRC but some decent damage and great if little eddie is on cooldown.


The damned fang frc is not seen often, I would imagine, because most 623s would be in a pressure string as a tick throw with little eddie out. The followups for damned fang with little eddie are varied by char and weight, but you can do a lot of things. It's Eddie.

[W.E.M.P.]

This is one of the greatest guides I have ever read for any fighting game character.

More people need to play this game

Thanks, and I'm sure more people will pick up this game once it gets the 360/PS3 rerelease.

I'm actually planning on updating the guide for the rerelease, to comment on the changes from the PS2 release. Buffed 6K is going to be ridiculous.

Awesome guide Teyah, has got me up to speed on AC Eddie. Haven't played since GG since Slash.

What does the "r" in "r.2P" stand for?

[Iceman]

r = running. As in a dashing 2p

[DarkSab]

I am having trouble with this one:
Initial mixup (hits), -K-(1) r.5P- -K-(2) -6P(2) -K-(1)

Sometimes, I can't conect r.5p before the -k-(2) comes and because of that I drop the combo. Any tips?

Do the K release as late as possible after your initial hit. Do it too early and your link becomes tighter as you recover 'later'.

5[K] 5S, short pause, ]K[, r.5P
