    I'm not sure if Pyrrah O can backstep like normal Pyrrah, but normal Pyrrah has a straight up MEAN backstep, darting in and out of range of short range pressure characters and punishing with basic BBs and stab. It's frustrating when you have to work hard to just not whiff, and then everything...

    I'm not a horrible Natsu player, beat a couple good Natsu players in ranked (yes I realize it's online). She is very good, but she does struggle badly with certain matchups. I'd say a patient Pyrrah is probably the one that sends me into fits of rage more often than any other character. I play a...

    How to get up fast?

    Keep in mind many times it's better to not get up so fast with ukemi though, especially against characters like Natsu who are just waiting to bomb launch you the moment you do.

    How much do you actually need to know to be good at SC?

    Wtf this thread devolve in to? OP said he had Tekken experience, so I gave him things to look for in SC that differ from Tekken. I see NO ONE else even contributed to helping the OP. My goodness.

    How much do you actually need to know to be good at SC?

    Compared to Tekken (I'm also a Tekken player with SC on the side), SCV does seem more masher friendly, and matchups are much easier to learn mostly because there's fewer characters and movelists are short. Just an example but seems like in Tekken, you'd better think hard before you throw out...

    To what extent...

    Agreed. Taki was one of my mains in SCII, III, and IV, and she seems to feel more and more gimped after III. Sure, they upped her damage here in V, but her options just feel so limiting to me right now - mainly her POS shifts. No more AB and/or BA POS shifts, no more 99_33A POS shifts...

    Critical Edge: A Brief History of Banning...

    Getting your save file overwritten if you want to volunteer your console for use shouldn't be an issue. If you can make a backup of a standard, tournament worthy save file, you should be able to make a backup of your current existing save file as well. Hasn't anyone ever heard of backing up...

    What characters are you gonna create/recreate first?

    I'm a huge fan of Falcom RPGs, mostly Ys and Legend of Heroes. Thus: Adol from Ys and Estelle from LoH, with Pat and Xiba styles: Also playing through Xenoblade right now (which is amazing) so.... Dunban and Fiora from Xenoblade w/Mitsu and Natsu styles Not a fan of Shulk. And...

    So....Setsuka Players....

    I'm happy. I mean, I can now finally make some CaS of the only Iaido users that have ever mattered in gaming: AND Assuming we can actually use the style in CaS, of course.

    Hate Speech: Of Clean Hits, Designs, and Time Travel

    @Heaton Just to start, Tekken isn't really a fighter in which every character is standardized. Dunno if you were being sarcastic or not, but making that kind of broad generalization didn't help your argument. I don't wanna have to explain it either so I'll leave it at that. Back to topic...

    Frame traps I don't mind, but his frame traps don't even work though. Duck his POS K and he's got nothing else. He doesn't even use taki's decent stuff that actually gives advantage on block, just randomly spams stuff with tons of bombs and jumps everywhere like he's on crack. My cass gave...

    No offense, but this dude is the biggest bomb spamming ass whore taki I've ever seen. Seriously, his entire offense is based on bombs, like taki has no other tools or something. Everything he throws at you starts or ends in a bomb of some type. At long range? Bomb. At short range? Bomb...

    Dam you oof, not easy trying to figure you out. Algol... yeah lol. GGs though, holy shit, haven't had a session like that online in a long time. It's fun to play someone good who doesn't always play safe with pokes all day. It's rare nowadays.

    Siegfried vs Cassandra

    I wouldn't say you were really abusing lows, otherwise I wouldn't say GGs. Although it was more than I usually get playing with the 2 offline local siegs I play. Online laggy lows don't bother me that much though, I understand it's a different game than offline, but I will fight fire with fire...

    Siegfried vs Cassandra

    You talking about this one? FC 1B? GI-able: yes, but not easy. It has a little startup lag so timing the GI is hard. It is her best ranged low, online and off. Decent range and big advantage on hit. She crouches REAL low so a lot of shit whiffs over her head when she does it, including...
