We had a nice couple of JC mirrors yesterday in the night man @idontknowr1d1nameinforum and @MAN0 . There was another guy i don´t remember, sorry about that :D
Those were great matches indeed @Wam-Zlay, we should make JC nights more often! Btw r1 is @llabslb and the other guy was r1's friend.

The Devil Apes are now on Twitch and YouTube. Follow both and keep up with them, would really be appreciated.

@MAN0 yea it was too late. I couldn´t execute the high dmg combos :D.

@Smascer Welcome :)

@vladmag21 (i hope i remember your name correctly) we played a couple of mileena vs JC games yesterday and i think you should work a little bit on your defense. Maybe it was just the matchup and you don´t know much about JC idk :D.

JC has no low starter on the first hit. i remember you blocking low pretty often. So if i go and attack you, the first hit is probably an overhead. I could just go and B4 for the low, that´s not much dmg though :>.

@kanoguy i also played a kano yesterday, who is still in practice. Commando Kano can be pretty annoying :D.
I haven´t played Commando yet so i can´t really give you much advice.

The things you need too improve are universal and not character specific (if i remember correctly :D)

1. Punishing - you need to get more dmg out of punishes (idk what´s possible with Commando)
2. Zoning - You should throw more knifes, at least if i don´t have any meter with JC, you can zone all day long :D. Also you can let me waste meter into ex bf4, if you throw knifes on fullscreen.
3. i dont remember your blocking btw. so i can´t commend on that. Also you go for the counter attacks with Commando anyways. I always rage when i get grabbed :D


@countrypistol you´re the kano right :D?

1 goal achieved!!! people helping out each other
well if you go and play 20+ games with the same guy, you can actually help pretty good. KOTH is differen though, breaks and people changing character pretty often...it´s harder to say what someone is doing wrong.

I still need to improve myself :p. Imo You also get better yourself if you help other people ^^.

I am the Kano.

Realised last night that I have a bad habit with Commando. Because he's a grappler, I get it into my head that I need to be grabbing all of the time, as opposed to using grabs and tick throws as part of my overall footsie game. He's not a combo heavy, big punish character, so perfect footsies are a must. I realised last night, when I went for an option select tick throw, if you got hit by the poke, I tried to go for another tick throw, instead of a pressure string that could lead to 20%. It's a bad mental habit I need to break, and playing you made me realise it. Thanks!

This might interest you. With Brawler Cassie you can option select her jump kick-air grab to go jump in-command grab on block.

What you do is jump in and perform the kick-air grab input, then slide you thumb from down, to back, forward and hit triangle. As air throw doesn't come out on block, it will register the down as the first input of the command grab and (providing you've timed it right) she'll land and throw the blocking opponent.

So if you do the input correct, and the opponent actually blocks, you get garantued damage? Or is there an escape?

Neutral jump after the block, but they have to anticipate the jump in. It's not easy to defend against, but it's not a broken tactic either.
