LOL! despite her 'simplicity' ...omega is a lot harder to use when against decent players... especially defensive ones. Lack of options in given situations gives a very small margin of error... =/

Speaking of which... I've been busy on training mode trying to nail the DNS B followups post 33_99_66K, 11_77_44B, 22_88B 4B, 4A,B, NS/DNS A and 6K...


My current results:

Impossible to Land for me... -_-

6K (they crumple way too soon... =/)



VERY STRICT TIMING, only able to pull it off on my 'stronger' 2P side for 236236... and probably difficult to apply mid-match for me... =_=

33_99_66K (66K was the easier one... the 8wr version was close to impossible... but was able to do it 1-2 times)
11_77_44B (...same with above, easier (but still strict) with 44B.. but V.hard with the 8wr version... =/)
22_88B (as someone said, needs to hit 'deep' for DNS B to even hit, and timing is still v.strict... =/)
4A,B (seen you pull this off consistently, I've no idea how you do it since its still v.strict timing)
4B (the easiest of the 'strict timing' ones... still bloody hard though.. =_=)




EASY AS PIE, and I can do it both sides and at any point during match...

NS/DNS A (...easy, but cant get the JF as consistently on this one... =_=)
66B (I always hit this one, unless they were launched off axis enough)



....for the 'strict timing' ones... i can always hit an NS B as a substitute follow-up... but it doesn't hit as hard... =/

Anyways, here's hoping I get better at hitting them DNS Bs eh.. ^_~

...any tips on how to get them DNS motions quicker and more efficient?? >_< lol!

This is how I do it (playing with pad for the moment):

1. Have my thumb on the side that's forward on the down-button, so I only have to tilt my thumb to get a 236.

2. After 236, I release the D-Pad and press 3, which produces a second NS (DNS). So the command I use is something like 236~5~3B. Much much easier to perform than 236236B (for me atleast).

I do get the DNS B after 6K and 4B >90% of the times (still having issue with 33_66_99K and 44B). When I miss, it's mostly because I mess up the initial command because I'm not used to pad and both my ps3-controllers are total garbage, not a timing issue (I can add that I'm not especially good with timing-inputs, I would for example never try to main aPat/Set. Timing is not that hard with this "method" of doing DNS B).

Also ofcourse, learning when to start buffering DNS B (you can buffer DNS B pretty much instantly after 4B and 6K).
 

Finally got a camera worth using, just thought I'd show you guys how bad I am. Let me know what improvements I can make :)

I'm actually finding it's easier for me to wait for the animations end before going for DNS B. It was less helpful to me to think of buffering, but rather being more patient (in relative terms).

I just had an epiphany with my current training session when I realized I can do the majority of the most damaging combos... but not consistently. Especially having trouble with 66B+KAB, G, DNS B and 33_99B, G, DNS B
 
Okay okay. Here's my progress after playing Omega for 2 weeks :) the first 2 rounds were lag-free, but for some reason it started lagging like hell on the third >_< I couldn't combo her CE after 236236B.
And once again ignore the sound. I still don't get why its out of sync.

......did you mean 236236A? Because, other than the JF follow-up.. there's no combo after 236236B i think... O_o

Yes, currently... SCV online is pretty good most of the time... but it does dip into 'below SC4 netcode standard' ...thankfully, not very often... =_=

lol yea I meant 236236A. Typo :D

And unlike most others, Omega feels more natural to me than Pyrrha...

Good stuff but how come you don't use 2B BE? It's CH confirmable for huge damage and you're usually sitting on a lot of meter. I'd say use it in situations where you're currently using 6K.
 
Managed to get a few games in with Partisan earlier, this is the first match I uploaded from that session. Needless to say, I got my ass kicked so please, C&C this!

(I've just taken a look at the second video you uploaded to the media section) Commenting on a mirror is a little difficult I think, still I will say that I thought you were a little too passive. Partisan almost had free reign to do as he pleased. I definitely understand that you don't want to be throwing out moves carelessly, given the potential for meaty punishment. I would say to get a few more AA/BBs in there for starters, just to ensure the momentum of the fight doesn't fall out of favour for you. Something I prioritise when playing is discouraging step, as I want to get the opp. to stand still so I can get to work on their guard gauge.
 
Partisan is a very good player, one of the bests on sc5 imo. Because partisan has such excellent defense and makes good reads, it often can discourage players to stop doing certain moves and sit there and guard. I say step a bit more, throw out 22b every once and awhile, and if u won atleasts 1 round against him well thats like an achievement lol yeah not too much I can say about this match atm.
 
I got into few matched with Z.W.E.I,
Could anyone give me some advice ?



I'm new with the game and pick up pyrrha O as my main

Are you familiar with soul calibur notations? (If not http://8wayrun.com/threads/soulcalibur-v-basic-notations-terminology.12553/)

With ZWEI, its good to go into training mode and learn to recognise all of his moves that lead into EIN and how to approach them. For example, ZWEI's 1B into EIN can be punished with NS/DNS options, and iirc 4A/66A+B into EIN can be stepped. Another thing is to look out for those unblockable setups, most commonly 4(A) 214B release EIN, and B+K BE 214B EIN attacks. Both give you ample time to see coming, so you can prepare yourself to GI, or use Omega's A+B auto-GI when ZWEI does 214B.

As for your Omega gameplay itself, I think you did pretty well here. I would suggest being careful with 1AA, as it is fairly slow and see-able. You put 4B to good use in the latter end of the 2nd video, that's a move I like to get in there fairly often as it gives you both frame advantage and does a good chunk of damage to the opponent's guard gauge.
