Come to think of it, we shouldn't be sword fight << "being that we're d1cks".. I wanna know how you guys do vs other mu's, vs certain people..

For example.. How do guys do vs filipin0man, USMC monk, Forever King, etc Everyone that we've played. :)
I haven't played anyone major offline. Or online really. I dont like online but have to play it cause of my scene and everytime I go to a major I never get to play anyone in casuals cause all the 'Big names' hog the systems or there is a big ass line for "can I get next'.

and Its just friendly shit talk lol

@Dirtylova I may have lied to you.

I played M2D at youmacon, FOREVERKING JR, Sajam online (but he is retired) :DOGE lol uhhhh Katana prime at NEC but this is when I was new and didnt wben know who he was. Perfect legend with my day2 NW so I wont count it.

I'm curious what you guys who've played Filipinoman in the MU feel like it is.

The way him and I play WoWo, with all the instant air dashes and never leaving you any space, seems like it would make it super hard for NW to deal with. One of NW's weaknesses is air dashes, and WoWo pretty much has the best air dash pressure free. I think NW does fine against her while she plays it normal and doesn't smother you, but once those air dahses come out RIP. He has no buttons besides jump back staff normals to deal with it, and if you get stuck in escrima you might have to spend meter to have a chance to play.

Playing filipinoman as NW in escrima is a lot of backdashing out of frame traps, instant air wingdings to blow up iadg, and hoping he doesn't wake up even tho you just punished his last wakeup goddamnit lol. In staff, you have the range but lack of mobility kinda hurts and j1-33-d12 is a block infinite unless you forward dash after WoWo air dashes over you. You have to work pretty hard and hope you make the right read. He likes to airdash a bunch, so just dash away or under.

USMC is the Bane guy, right? Yeah, he's gotta nice bane, but i feel like WetDoba or Grrrs who you want to grind it out with. Doba's connection is pretty real tho.

ForeverKing? I played his Joker one time in ranked and won. Does that count?:joker:

Hey Dicks, a tricky mixup for you to play with.

F213(or any starter)~Escrima Fury MB Dash under D2 B3 Dash Under (wait until they are on the other side of you) D2~MB FlipKick (OTG's unless tech rolled, really hard to wakeup against)

Same Setup as Above, Except D2~Staff Pound(mb) (forces them to block if they tech roll, also they must hold down)

Want to make it even trickier?

Same setup, End with the D2, Do a B2 (reverses wakeup inputs) then do the MB Flip Kick.

These are techrollable, but tricky as eff and utilize the quick stand + look swag as fuck.

I do this on the corner! The double D2 setup that was posted a long time ago. Mixing D2 xx Flip Kick with D2 xx 4 xx MB GP is awesome and extremely fast they can't react in time.
Good shit on finding such a setup midscreen! I was thinking of looking for such a setup!

5-5 I dont wanna put scores out.. But i pretty much staffed winged it.. when he would switch stances, so would i. Sometimes id stay in staff and jb1 his shield charge into gp or just the jb1..

I dont want fpin0man thinking im bragging on online matches so ill just say he adapted to our previous set and pretty much killed me, my fault for not punishing and re adapting to his style though.


Ill provide specifics on how i played the mu later when I get home.

I was actually trying to develop a vortex...still haven't found a true one, but I did build this very swag mixup. It's so fucking cool looking lol

Is there no way to do this meterless?

Would someone mind uploading a video of the setup?

I can, but it will be crap quality...can the xbox one record 360 through passthrough? If it does I will upload it myself.
