α Patroklos General Discussion/ Q&A

I have a question about combo JFT, JFT

When should you begin to input the second JFT and how to improve the input speed for JFT
I can input JFT consistently but in that combos seems I input slowly and opponent can ukemi to evade the 2nd JFT but when I tried to improve the speed, my accuracy is not good anymore

This is how I input JFT: first I input 214, I release my thumb and move it to 3 and slide a:B after that. I don't know if this way is good or moving directly to 3 from 4 is better, please help me

I play on Xbox 360 pad, no problem to slide a:B but seems I have problem about input speed when I press 2143 and the moment 3 to slide a:B

Please help me
 
I usually play with an arcade stick, but when I use a 360 pad, I do 214123. It's easier since the analog stick is a circle gate, so a glide back glide forward motion is natural. You don't have to let go of the stick when you input it.You may find this easier.

But if your opponent techs correctly, it's very difficult to connect two twisters, even offline. I can do it maybe 50% of the time. Forget about it online if they tech.
 
Has anyone noticed Mitsurugi's saying in his B+G against Alpha?
"Pattycakes... This is war!"

I've been calling Patroklos that since a few weeks after he was announced. I find it hilarious that it's in there. x)

When is a good time to try to pull off 4B+K 62B 44B+K (or 11a+B)?

It's just B+K, not 4B+K.

Post GI or post guard crush has been the best times for me. Although post guard crush you can do better damage with 2143A+B or agB, this doesn't require just frames.
 
Just wondering. I'm still a trash aPat. But, as I start to get the moves down I'm realizing I don't know where to put them. I did better when I barely knew the moves and just threw attacks out.
 
B+K can be used as a mix up tool when you implement 1A:A :A since they have somewhat the same animation at the beginning but I might be wrong since I haven't played alpha in like a 3 months already. But as dragonfall said, you mainly want to use it after GI but there are better choices such as 214 3A+B.

If my opponent has little life and expect a low, I will use B+K to finish them off in style but if they do block it, then they need something to punish -14 on block. This is imo

Cool. Maybe I'll run into you again soon. I think all we've ever done is mirrors. :) Remember my Viola?

I do, sir. You're pretty nifty. I really only use Alpha when I'm facing super nubs. I can't reliably get his justs online so I avoid him most of the time.. Most of my damage comes from B+K, which is good, but slow, etc.
