    How do you play Ancestral Gift?

    I would hesitate to say inferior, but would absolutely agree with much harder. On paper (or at a level way above mine) there isn't a great reason to end up getting hit by makota warrior. Ancestral Gift has the opportunity to open up opponents way more often, and usually opportunities to deal...

    How do you play Ancestral Gift?

    We are talking about the underlying stuff in all fighters that helps you know when the right time to use your stun move or your uppercut is. Frame data (the -16 I referred to before) is what determines who gets hit and who doesn't when both players press the uppercut button at the same time. (or...

    How do you play Ancestral Gift?

    I play a lot of ancestral gift and I think your issue is related to trying to oki pressure too much, or potentially committing too hard when you do pressure. Most of NW strings are death on whiff so conditioning is pretty important. To start, watch some NW v1 gameplay and take note of how often...

    [SoulTaker] Screaming Soul Cancels

    So I'm holding out for this variation because I like the idea of a chip/regen style game that uses his plus frames well. Not had much success honestly, but I will say that I think the unmodified db1 is not being talked about enough here. IMO its the reason to take this variation. ~50 damage on...

    Cyborg General Discussion Thread

    The answer is technically 0 it each move varies depending on how you look at it, but I think your question is based on the assumption that when someone is minus/punishable they are always standing. This is not the case. Different moves rise at different rates and some are fully recovered by the...

    [Matchup Discussion] Cyborg vs. Superman living guide

    It seems like you may be unfamiliar with Superman's trait. While it is on, all his attacks break armor (anything he does while traited will beat mb f3). Untraited, neither standing 3 nor rising grab will beat out mb f3 (except in the case where rising grab makes the mb f3 whiff)

    My training journal. Loss by loss and each gud git.

    This is pretty interesting and cool, I think I'll start something similar privately. Keep it up, man. On a side note have you considered switching to an arcade stick or hitbox? Understanding that you can compensate now is great, however you may find that the fightstick/hitbox allows you to...

    Let's Explore This Terror Together: Scarecrow General Discussion

    Trait activation is about half startup half recovery. Catch him during the startup and he doesn't get trait. Hit him out of recovery and the trait keep starts anyway

    PC Beta Help

    So I've been giving the PC beta a try and its been running great, until it stops running. (I am among the number that has had to pull the plug on a monitor in order to get it running in the first place) A quick google didn't lead me to anything promising on crashing issues. Has anyone else just...

    The Official Supergirl Match-Up Chart (Updated 10-7-17)

    But his d2 is top tier vs air dashes and b3 his huge. Don't play either character much, but on paper I'd say a big chunk of SG's neutral relies on out-spacing her opponent with her footsie sting (don't even know the input :p) but AM outspaces even that option and has good answers for the rest of...

    Toledo Ohio Offline Scene

    Cool! I was hoping somebody bumped it, it seemed in poor taste for me to do it before anybody showed some interest. I'll definitely keep you in mind if we can get some stuff started up. Seems we will be building from the ground up. Anybody here from the Toledo area looking to get involved in an...

    Toledo Ohio Offline Scene

    Hey TYM, I'm new-ish to the Toledo, Ohio area and I am hoping there is a local scene with some tournaments. Is there something I've not been able to find that is already set up? If not, maybe there are enough of us here to get some wheels in motion.

    Fighter Pack 2 to be revealed at Gamescom.

    I'm embarrassed to admit that I was hype for the reveal today. I saw 08/17 (as an American) yesterday and got excited. Now I'm sad
