TYM King Of The Hill Weekly Matches! (PS4)

Man, I cannot wait to fight some peopel who don't know these things!
@Circus already did that with me. It took me actually taking Kano into the lab afterwards and doing the moves myself to learn these things. Because the properties on those moves aren't as they appear to be. Kano's real lows are his F2 and the second hit on his 2, 4, 1+3, but he can get a good chunk of damage off of those.

I'm pretty sure if F2 can be blocked low? Unless I'm missing something.
F2 could be blocked low and is actually -14 so it's very punishable.

And yeah, @lionheart21 Kano definitely a character that could take advantage of people not knowing the matchup. He has a ton of fake mixups that don't really work if the opponent is accustomed to the matchup.

GGs, My knowledge for this game is better than my skill to execute a counter plan and I'm really starting to feel it lol. Knowing how to block and being unable to capitalize on it, I really need to get some consistent sets/matches in when i have more time.

GGs man!

No worries, all it takes is more matches and more practice! That's why it's always good to have some 1v1 sets as well. So you can really run matches and certain matchups a lot. KOTH is more just for fun.

Yeah 1v1s are really important in games like this. Just like Reed said, you get MU knowledge and you also find tricks or mind games you can play with your main. Prople avoid casual matches or 1v1 private matches cause honestly we all fear having a bad w/l ratio but we gotta get over the fear of loses cause it’s the only way we actually get better. A win is just the reward of that training.

You can hit me up when we’re not doing koth and play a long set together.

I tried... lol. But no customs just makes me feel helpless and sad. With my most-used moves missing, and new ones I’m not familiar with... Almost feels like playing a new character for the first time, haha. I’ll join another time :cool:

Haha sorry dude, I was tasked with making the hill and it's just hardwired into me to play the game how the tournament players and pros do.

Yeah I totally get it, that’s the main draw for this site, haha. I just know I’ll never, ever, be on that level, nor will I ever enter a professional tournament like that... so no point in me pretending, and limiting myself. I feel like the game was designed around custom variations, and I find them to be much more fun, so that’s all I’ve played exclusively. The only times I’ve touched tournament presets were in these KOTH matches... and with no prior practice whatsoever, it did not go well at all, lol.

Sorry about last night's KOTH, I was so frustrated that I got kicked every time. I realised after I turned off my PS4 that my brother was watching YouTube videos in HD. That was the reason why my internet was so buggy.
Ah damn. It was weird since usually, our matches are not laggy at all. Youtube does suck a lot of internet juice.

I had the same problem. I've just started picking different characters when I go ranked to keep from 50/50ing myself at the player select. Hopefully they'll patch in more tourney variations with the DLC

I actually did not know that, it'd explain why my ping has been bad at times. Didn't think that playing while listening to music on Youtube would have affected the online connection on the PS4.
