My thoughts,

LMAO when you did 11 jump over, reading his first interruption attempt of that string.

Holy crap, he blocked b23... I cant even.....

If you hit confirm say.... 111 and have no meter... I THINK bf3 is more optimal dmg than df1..... also probably a safer thing to do after poking with a d1 or having a 11 blocked..... of course, it does not have as much combo potential either.

while I love the df1 mb dash under gimmick, i think it may be over used.... I'd also mix it up with the d2 f2 in trait stance after that starter, a jump over 3 will be an optional cross up after, depending on when you hit 3. And unlike your fly cancel set up, I think its a little more ambiguous even when you know its coming (just refering to the moments after df1mb)..... And when you put them in the corner with df1mb, I think you could have done a more optimal combo than that set up...

and.... there was a moment you coulda gone for b3 transition rather than allowing clash.... but otherwise, you're still better than me LOL

Only reason I do df1 on a meter-less hit confirm is because I like landing a little closer to the opponent.
These games are really so that Kotally can get the hang of the mu. I was his first Beetle.
I said to him before hand and during the set that I am going to keep doing the gimmicky set ups so you can learn where and when to block them.
If this was a more serious set I would not rush down nearly as much and would definitely play a lot more footsie based as you are supposed to.

That makes a lot of sense :)

I still saw you poke with df1 after strings that were not hit confirmed.... but I do the same damn thing.... but usually only after an OH

@Espio df1mb into the corner.... its super easy to consistently land 33 111 rather than just a 111.... Any particular reason you don't? You instead do a shimmy forward before the 111

Some Grodd/beetle action (mostly beetle) vs Dseid & Bman


I missed recording the oh low block that had me scream into my headset. There was one I blocked that I swear was a 1 frame oh/low. Either way, I was pretty proud of my defense in these MU's.... My offense was meh at first, but my later matches beetle vs dseid were pretty good.

I participated in the most recent ESL Community Cup with Beetle. Stopped at 9th place because of some low profiling stuff with Canary + hitboxes + I suck at the game. c: So. Here ya go! :D

Some nice gameplay man.
Can't believe people did not react to the jump over after the 13 fc everyone I play reacts instantly to that I have to condition people if I even want to try any of those sexy Beetle gimmicks.
Either way its nice to see more people playing Beetle now that people are finally realizing that he's a good char.
Good stuff my man.

Thanks man! A lot of people sorta get conditioned to just neutral duck it eventually but that's when I just start instant canceling and d2 and punishing for a full combo. Like a lot of mix-ups in this game, it is a gimick, but technically not one since it works xD.

And it kinda is really hard to react to on hit, because the hit stun doesn't allow a backdash so they have to deal with the 50/50 left or right.
