I get the sneaking suspicion that everyone and their mother is going to be playing GTA5 this weekend. And also things are kinda slow in general this time of year :(
jansauer, are you in charge of seeding? nomrah at SRK mentioned that there would be some seeding based on previous results but I wasnt clear on who was doing it. 3 out of the top 4 at Summer Slam are already preregistered, for example.
I've never played any of the games in the series, but I'll probably try 5. I could use a hang picking a character. I think I'd like to find a character like Pyrrha if thats possible. That is to say:
- relatively fast normals for interupts.
- good whiff/block punishing (good punishes off...
Use the training mode to do the following:
Set the computer to guard all, second action - replay random
Record 3 different actions by the computer. Some mix that you have to respond different ways to and/or punish with different moves. Like 3B, punish with AA. Something you have to block low...
I find that Pyrrha is all about studying frame data. You need to be able to 236B anything in the game thats -14 on block, and so you need extensive knowledge on every one's moves, how to block them and how unsafe they are.
Also, 4B, 6B+K will ring out at maybe 1-2 character widths from the point where the 4B hit, because the 4B knocks them backwards on their butt, then the 6B+K will send them flying back again.
If you hit 4B, you generally want to go 66B+K,A,B, tap guard as they fly over your head, and then 236 B or CE just as they are taking floor splat damage.
