Shoulder charge. I've tried the others but they don't seem as good for teleport mixups. Exploding parademon scales your combo to hell and it's also awkward to confirm off of. The fireball from the flying parademon is okay, but you really have to be fullscreen to use it because otherwise the...

Gayfetus is the best. I follow him on Twitter, his tweets are a good way to find out if there's a good stream on.

Is NRS gayer than Skullgirls? That would surprise me. Last big tournament for Skullgirls had 4 LGBT players in top 8, which I want to say is below average for us.

Only just got around to this, my weekend was kinda busy. So Flash's running man stance, I found out you sometimes can hit him with Omega Beam while he's in RMS. As far as I can tell, if he's just holding the stance he'll low profile Omega Beams, but the beams will hit him if he's actually...

What do they use to bait it? Just like, running man stance > run at you > cancel out of the stance > block? I don't really know a ton about Flash but I would assume that's his only option.

I've never fought this matchup so I have no good advice. My boyfriend has a Flash so I'll run some sets with him the next chance I get and get back to you. Just curious, is MB b3 an option against running man? That's the first thing I'd try.

So you all know the thing you do where you air teleport, and they react with d2, but you do air MB omega beams which makes their d2 whiff? I did some testing and there are six characters that this does not work on, because their d2 does not whiff in this scenario. These are: Sub Zero Joker...

Thanks for putting all this together, Slavaslave. Good analysis. I noticed the d1 whiffing a while ago and assumed the reason Knicks was doing it was to get people to react to movement. When trying to get in against Darkseid's zoning, most people will walk forward, duck when they see Darkseid...

Personally I can only do instant air stuff with easy inputs turned on. Having that turned on means sometimes you get omega beams when trying to d1, but I think the tradeoff is worth it.

Good shit in Vegas, Knicks! Looking forward to the guide!

Working on some stuff for Cheetah. It's easier to stuff her wakeup than I thought. If you do something like knee followed by instant air teleport, you can always do a meaty j2. You just have to press the button a bit later than usual. Her wakeup seems like it loses invincibility after the first...

Oh shit, no, I forgot to do that. I don't know if the weird corner pull thing happens if they tech roll.

Is there some way to set a minion and end a combo with 12 1+23 all in the same combo? If so this tech could still be useful. I'm not at my PS4 so I can't check but I feel like something that might work is stomp MB > b3 > dash, d2 xx summon minion > 12 1+23. That's midscreen, I can't think of a...

Found something kinda weird by accident today. If you end a corner combo with MB knee, then neutral jump, you end up pulling the opponent out of the corner, somehow, for some reason. Hard to explain and I don't feel like making a video on it so try it for yourself you'll see what I mean. It...

Is there any chance you can record yourself doing the combo with input display on? That would make it a lot easier to see what the problem is.

When I miss this I normally feel like it's cause I did j2 too late after the b3. You can press it a lot earlier than you think. I know you're talking about j3, but how the j2 hits can make it impossible to land the follow up j3, so that's the actual point where the combo drops.

One point you made that I agree with is that people shouldn't enter tournaments for these games with the intent of making a career out of it. Or at the very least if you're going to do that, do it with a MOBA or something. There's not enough money in fighting games for many people to make a...

I mean, it's relevant to the discussion. Superman is one of the characters who suffers from this problem the worst, because f2 is his best poke and he has a df2 special.

Knicks vs Cossner is at 25:00 (switches from Superman to Darkseid later in the set). Knicks vs Kevo is at 46:30. Knicks vs Bdon is right at the one hour mark. Ideally whoever runs the NRS twitch would have made these all highlights so that we don't have to go looking through a five hour archive...
