Preparation Glitch Discussion

Fendante, I might not make it obvious, but I like you. It's kinda hard to take this SA as a friendly atmosphere though with a video trying to make fun of me stickied to the top with the main moderator advocating it.

Haha thanks but please don't take the troll video too seriously as slade said. If it really bothers you, then ask WuHT to close the thread.

Anyway, these small squabbles aren't getting anywhere. Can we all just let go and take deep breaths? WuHT is going to have a headache by the time he checks the SA again.

So how you spend maybe 1% of your time playing is all that matters. Using nothing but safe jabs and 'tourney nerves' excuses.

Keep in mind I spend most of my time playing offline against great opponents.

So how you spend maybe 99% of your time playing is all that matters.......

You expecting us to accept your "I screw off and play for flash, if you criticize me you're a douchey tourney |_3Et|sT! because I play offline vs. non-tourney peeps that can see 1 frame" is actually more close minded and intolerant than anything we've told you, okay, maybe not what I've told you cuz I'm caustic like that but still. So just stop being a dick about your tech and everything will go much smoother.

I'll take it down. An ex-mod stickied it, but I left it on because I didnt' think you would take it so personally from a group of well-known trolls.
 
Retire for a little while and Raph gets a new glitch, smh.........

Anyone using this in matches yet consistently? Or is the timing making it impractical?
 
It's just a nice taunt!

I landed it a couple of time though ( evade).
But there are obviously better options for evading.
 
If you want at least one use for it, use it after landing 44A+B.

Very few characters can punish it anyway, so it's uses overlap with 1A, with a tech crouch/backdash.

It is a superb taunt.
 
Maybe it'll hit someone once offline lol. 40 some frame lows (guesstimating) aren't gonna work too often without online lag to back them up tho.

If anything you can make them feel stupid as fuck for eating it and work with the mental advantage off that lol. Mix in a regular 44b in a situation where you'd normally buffer this to make them feel even worse about their life.

Honestly tho I never really used the odd BT just frames that Cervy had in games past, and that produced a much faster and more useful move overall.

Prep A+B will hit even the most seasoned opponents if used correctly.

Three things in life are certain,

Death, taxes, and Zanaken's insistence on the usuability of iPrep in the face of insurmountable "seasoned" opposition.

Seriously, the only way it will hit is if the other guy/gal? has NEVER seen it before or they get deer in the headlighted by some one doing something so stupid and risky because no one has found situations where you can force or combo it, get this through your head.
 
There is a Lexia that is fucking amazing on XBL. This guy is your type of player, very technical, and very risk-free. During a recent match we had I made sure to train him about my favorite choice near the ring edge, and also my favorite choice after getting a prep entry.

I forced him to a ring edge and telegraphed a SE entry. It was two rounds each, and we were both on guts, or pretty much, and I went for Prep A+B. It landed - I won.

It was a very close fight, we both fought better than you ever can Bojack (it was tasty,) and I went for the low for the first and only time in the match just as he was panicking and thinking over his options.

The mind-games were simple. Prep A+B looks similar to Prep SE to anyone who plays fast and loose with their reactions, and my choice from earlier in the fight made it seem to him that a ring-out is what I wanted to go for.

This player, that is significantly better than you and regularly gives me a spankin', got caught out by a move you no-doubt can guard in training mode with your eyes shut.

This is a single example of how I use Prep A+B, I have about 3-4 other scenarios I throw it out on. I am deeply sorry if my success with the move offends you, but I can understand why it does. Most players at lower levels of skill/mind-games don't counter play. They throw out what has a statistically higher chance of landing, and wont be punished too hard if it doesn't. It's rock-paper-scissors with range being one of very few factors.

Three things in life are certain;

Death, Taxes and the inability of poor players to understand that what they can't effectively use still has effective uses.
 
Wow, now that I think about it, it was super laggy and I just landed it because it was online. Thanks for pointing that out to me, Jimbo.

Good choice champ, using a situation where you were down to the wire and "went long" with a hail Mary Prep A+B to justify your continued rambling about the move (no one has ever said you can't get lucky with the move). Being the best Calibur player with your flat mates before you take the tram to pub for a few pints at evening time does not count for much guvnor.

Also, care to name drop said amazing Lexy?
 
The only good safe Leixia I can think of on european XBL is Hadeszappy, unless you were playing Hyrul that is and if it was either, the only way you landed it was as a fluke. Sorry man.

GOLD Magiczappy

Out of curiosity, what credentials do you have? I doubt any, so just answer my next question. Why do you need credentials?

If I come out with a working grand unified theory of relativity tomorrow, and send it off for peer review, do you think they'll go "Na, I wont bother reading this, he hasn't even high-fived Steven Hawking..."

PS. I don't like pubs, they're for old people and spinsters.
