Zass study sessions on PSN/XBOXL

Yash-o-dhara


And I sent it like a week ago!


Impending youre a good player actually. You dont OVERUSE 1AB, but you have a tendency to use it at close range.



BTW KingAce I didnt mean to edit your post, I tried to quote you and ended up clicking "edit" without paying attention and started typing in your box. I wasnt trying to do a ninja mod edit or anything.
 
If anyone whats to join up with me sometime, send me a friends request... I play Zas allot and I can take on some of the highest ranks and hold my own and win sometimes... I need some work on Defence as my consistity needs work and get the tunnelvision where I forget to use some moves. Thou Mainly I need work with Long Weapon Players (Sig/Nite&Kilik, And Against the HighWin% Ivy,s, thou with Ivy's I starting to get them to the wire, just not taking the victory)...

Well not many posts on Zas Section in general.... Is he dead... lol

Thou I still play him allot under my Zas Only Account, ManBear23
Anyone want to play look me up..

Have a few things that seem to work very effectly but still hard to come up with stuff with him, thou best thing I like playing with him is that you have to force yourself into learning defences, spacing and counter moves more so then other players. So my defence is improving allot... So far been keeping a 3-1 win ratio and actually have been winning against serious players with him, but still got some work to go...

The Omega hype is over now, so that's why the forum is kinda dead. I haven't given up on Zas yet, but I've been working on other characters. Anyway, I've got Live again for a little while, so hit me up with a friend request(I don't take online seriously, but I'm still up for Lag Calibur). Just make sure to tell me who you are, too.
 
Well thats two. Ive played Impending Doom and Qurituishitkmsishihsfhs (Freaky-Styley).


Zasalamel vs Zasalamel is a bad match-up for me. But against other characters it really highlights what he has and doesnt have to work with.


Impending I cant say much about you. We should play more.

Freaky we had some good games. Out of all the matches we played more than a few ended up being tied going into the final round usually in your favor. I tend to crack under pressure sometimes. Online is stupid of course but I picked up on a few things that you do and that really worked wonders and I was racking up wins in player matches shortly after. Mainly 4B for stuffing their efforts at close rage after you have advantage after something like 6B+K or BB4. Your JF timing is great, I dont even bother online (minus B:K) but you managed to pull them off quite frequently.

Online is such a hindrance tho. Controls feel very stiff which is neither here nor there. Glad you didnt over-use 1A.
 
I'd also like to play with some good Zas's. I dont know if it's dead but I'd love to play some matches with someone regradless. Too bad the majority of you guys are on PSN D:
 
Yeah great games Art. Those matches were pretty close and a lot of fun. I had never seen someone duck 6AB 95% of the time online before. You played really tight at first, but after a while things started flowing. Lol that one match where we both had a sliver of life left and I kept blocking your 2K and you kept blocking my 3K back and forth like 8 times cracked me up.

In regards to JF timing, I don't even bother trying to time them online (except Tira's 4A), it's too frustrating. You can get close to a 50% success rate just by mashing them out. This also keeps you from losing your timing offline.
 
Yeah my main reason for not even bothering with JFs online is because I time the buttons with audio cues in sync with the gameplay, and it kinda doesnt work online. Ducking 6AB is crucial. lol. You do NOT want to be that close to him with disadvantage on block.


Something else I noticed, your 6B+Ks always dragged me in. I dont recall it ever pushing me out.

I really like 4B and 6kB now.

Ill get on as soon as my cousins comes back. He locked his damn door so the little kids wouldnt come in his room but my PS3 is still in there. :(
 
Well . .I played Kingace. You finally added me as a friend on PSN. ;l

Couple notes...

You are VERY aggressive. Almost, too aggressive. This is the Zasalamel forum, but we played around with a few other characters .. so ill add my 2 cents on your Nights and Asty. Anyways..


-You play like a hardcore bulldog, the only thing is, you have a tendency to attack and attack and attack. More often than not you will find yourself eating many nasty counter hits offline. I believe I tried to make you freeze up many times, you NEVER fell for 2[B+K], not that you blocked it, but you actually hit me out of it. I could never get you to freeze. . which is strange to me. You attack a lot.


-You closed space a lot with 66A+B, which is unsafe. I actually started attempting to airthrow you because you did it so much, but alas, precision isnt what we have online. But im sure you know those type of tactics are dead end strats.


-To piggyback off the first point, sometimes I would do things like. . Zas' 6kB into 2A, in a perfect world that would have stuffed your BB everytime, but I believe several times you hit me for whatever reason. FYI that 2A or B+K is ALWAYS going to beat you out, I had a feeling when we played that you were trying to bust out of my frame advantage. Once I hit you with 4A and instantly tried to stuff you with B+K because I knew you would attack me, hypothetically speaking, you werent supposed to land a 2A on me, but you did. Just things to keep in mind.


-I cant talk much about you throw breaking because mine isnt the best either. But you broke my B+G only a handful of times, and I use it much more than A+G because I have it assigned to a shoulder button.



Overall, I feel like you were an even match. Even though some things about fluctuating frame rates bother me, namely my wounded precision (easy on Asty's 66K from halfway across the screen) you have a good Zas, just a TID predictable. Sometimes I assumed that you wouldnt do some things, which is foolish of me because I lost, but again the online cranks are a lil rusty, I can sidestep his unblockable on wakeup! Moderation is key.

Click to expand...

Hahahaha

I attack to avoid the throw...I rather eat a B+K 0 dmg than get thrown after 6kB. Might aswell just jump the 2A next time with 8B then the only thing to worry about will be B+K.

Actually I was breaking every one of those damn B+G, but the lag is stupid unforgiving, I had to anticipate the throw break, instead of react to it.

To tell the truth my Zass is supposed to turtle...but lag stops that.

Yes I use Zass's unblockable, because it works...I don't know if you were trying to step it, but I saw you a couple times ducking...which made go( got you!)
And since you don't eat 66BB after that maybe I should add another one, or 1AB just to keep you down, throws might work.

We will play again for sure it should be fun.
 
I didnt duck that shit!! I was standing G to stop mid oki and in the process of quickly trying to 2222222 out the way of the UB I got hit. Stupid Online Calibur.


Impending I cant really remember what happened when we played a month ago! I sent you a match request everytime I was online tho! I can remember that you 66BB and 6AB a lot, that would become much more tricky to avoid if you didnt always finish the string.


SC2AI I notice that you NEVER did the A in the 1BBA string. Unfortunately it was too slow to catch me with the 3B for trying to duck the last hit that never comes.



I think this is a good place to ask. As you know Zasalamel is my main, but I also play around with:

-Xianghua
-Talim
-Setsuka
-Amy
-Sophitia

In your opinion, which two ladies should I really focus on and leave the other three relatively alone? It seems like I switch them on depending on how the others play. Honestly I feel I know Xianghua the best out of the 5 listed, but I really feel like she is lacking. I know Sophitia almost as good as X, but she bores me sometimes. Setsuka is for my inner speed demon that cant go crazy when I play Zasalamel. Amy is fun to play around with but shes like easy mode Xianghua, and Talim . .im just inspired by Oofmatic and Ceron to play with such a crappy character.
 
Learn Amy and Xianghua together...then move on from there.

It's better that way because the sword styles are kinda similar, and your brain doesn't have to do more work trying to adapt to the change in characters.

Sophitia is a linear character so you don't need to remember to0 much about her...aside from her auto gi placements, she's easy to remember, you don't really even need that much to learn her.

Talim and Setsuka are complicated characters that require time.

Also learn them so that I can stomp them with my Asta, All of them...hehehe.
