Couslali's mixups & stungames.

Specifically about Rock:

I have no idea what you're talking about when you say nobody can do what you did in the last part. Command throw -> GT is a standard Rock combo, everyone does it. Besides that, everything you do after 2B+K is completely pointless; as others have said, mixing a mid for a mid after a shakable stun is not a mix-up. You shake and block, that's just shut down every single thing you do.

A proper stun mix-up is waiting for them to shake and then going for a throw, or not waiting for the shake and going straight for the low. The throw is usually the better option (unless you have a fast low that knocks down), but at least that's some actual yomi.
 
Why would i want to do that, and im not talking about the commandthrow into JF im talking about the RO glitch.
Anyway, like i said why would i want to do that.. going for a low, it all depends on what i am trying to accomplish anyway at the moment itself. Since when are there proper stun mixups, thats not even possible seeing as all stuns are shakable to an extend (especially followups).
Just use your eyes what muscle-jesus gave them for, witnessing BEAUTIFULL possibilitys etc. Nothing else matters. So try to step into the positive circle and say 'well cous!, you got some quite funny and manly looking movements right there, keep up the good work man!"

Thank you page, thank you.
 
Jaxel, im not confusing the difference, you people are. I have told you guys countless times i do not use combos, i use everchanging mixups, i have countless 'options. The things i do in the vid are just a block in a piramid really.

I want to see the whole pyramid then, give it to me.

It is, an invisible pyramid!

No really, im not trying to be funny it really is, my mind is completely blank before a fight... well and during the fight i just see stuff moving and in the end my character gives a speech. Its kindof like eating your favorite dinner, you have longed for it the whole day, you taste it but its gone before you know it and then your like.. i wish i could have seconds. But you didnt cook enough for seconds.
 
Maybe there's a language barrier here.

If you say "mix-up" you're implying that you're actually going to switch things up on your opponent in an effort to confuse them. Hitting someone with a shakable stun and then doing a mid, or a different mid, or maybe a third mid, is only confusing because it makes no sense.

Waiting for someone to shake a stun and then throwing them is actually a mix-up. You're switching between the combo they think they're trying to escape, and a throw. Once they're afraid of the throw you can go back to your combo, since they'll either shake and duck (letting you hit them with a mid) or not shake at all (trying to stop your throw or reduce the damage). Now you've created some yomi: do I shake the stun and eat a throw or a low? Do I not shake the stun and avoid the throw or take reduced damage from the low? Do I shake and crouch, which will avoid your throw and block any lows? Now I'm open getting hit by a quick mid. This is a decision your opponent must make in the split second window they have to actually shake your stun.

So, it's true that shakable stuns aren't as useless as some people think, but what you're doing is neither useful, nor a mix-up.

Edit: What is this Rock RO bug you speak of, anyways?
 
I mean thats how i see it when i think back on my fights, wait .. you guys have a misunderstanding here, im not trying to compete in tournaments.. ever, im not going to challenge pro's who wear SC thongs with their names on them.
I just like this goddamn game... so stop hating (the machine) and start procreating. Or in other words dont blame the messenger, dont stomp on the flowerpatch and dont fling a chinese lunchtable trough a window while people are still eating their fucking rice from it. Accept that there are people with individual styles without emediately thinking in a 'ladder' degree about it... you know.. like ranking of skill. There are alot more dimensions to gaming than a reduced/minimalism form.. how do i explain this for crying out loud.. narrowing down for set damage.
 
It's fine to play the game you want to play. Do whatever you have fun doing, I'm behind you 100%.

But you posted this, not anyone else. It's obvious you posted it so that people can learn something from it, because they aren't even match highlights that people can clap for. What do you want people to learn from this? There's nothing constructive or new going on in that vid.

I'm not hating on the messenger, I'm hating on the way the messenger is delivering his message.

Well the confusing part is when people think that all i put in my vid are combos, even my mixups arent combos as in, they arent meant to be a set, i just show them as one cause why not, it looks cool and its possible, im not saying you should use them against a opponent in a cash-win-tourney cause you (i mean you in general btw not you you) dont have the underlying psychology that i utilize this system with.

Well i was just showing off possibilitys, not something that belongs in its place. Ofcourse i could do a low, or i could do a throw but im showing followups (additional stuns from moves on a stun instead of ending the stun, and by preference keeping the opponent standing, and if not atleast having a way to use the opponents state to your advantage) the big difference between this and consistent combos is that consistent combos are a set of moves that 'do' belong together to be effective, stungames do not, cause they áre breakable and thats known troughout the whole world, its pure logic that a stungame cant be treated as a combo therefore not as a solid mixup, and it is no solid mixup. Thats why its stungames & mixups and not stunmixups or muxstupemps ... or something.. things..

Oh i thought the quote ... nvr mind..

I know, its nothing.. but at the same time its everything, im afraid im the only person who can comprehend its worth, and i woudlnt want any different. You see the thing is (didnt i explain this already btw.. uhh) i know consistent combos i just dont utilize them myself, i use them agianst people passively, my knowledge of consistent combos that is.
And thats exactly why i dont use consistent combos myself cause thats part of my mindgame.
Edit: What is this Rock RO bug you speak of, anyways?
Well i do it in the vid, so its not hard to figure out. Look at where i stand when i use the floor throw, that couldnt have RO'ed by itself to begin with, look what i do to force a RO.

arent.. clap.. for? :l

Be honest now, is it even possible to have a 'new' vid containing anything constructive/revolutionary going on? I think (appart from my little ro glitch) there is nothing you people dont know yet. It would be pretty dull to see me reproduce the obvious combos anyway and for what, to show i can do em too? Sure i can but its boring like watching television these days. It all looks the same and there is no breaking the ceiling. The mechanics dont allow for this, so instead i abolish the walls that keep the mechanics together by ignoring them. Im not going to bind myself to consistency no matter how much sure damage it nets, or how high the frame data puts the odds in your favor, i know all that but that would make me just another contender, and thats exactly what i dont want to be. I always want to find the hidden opening of the bushes beside the path, the unheard harmony within the composure. And what do i give up for that? Just the frustration of competition, no loss at all to me. I mean.. in the end.. its just a fucking game.. really.. no matter how much (anal) beads the top player of soul calibur IV can hang around his neck.

Yea im kinda like paperboy, i dont walk all the way to the door, i just smite the sleeping dog with the paper as i ride by.
 
You still haven't justified your use of the term mix-up.

All your restuns are mid or high. Shake the first stun and it's game over. There's no mix-up there.

If you called this vid "A bunch of stuns you can throw together," or, "Endless Restuns, Son!" then that would be different. But you called it "mix-ups and stungames" without explaining what stungames are, or how these are mix-ups.

Edit: And as much as I'm not an advocate for "Playing to Win," I'm also not going to advocate "Playing to Lose," which is what your philosophy seems to be.

they are Couslali's mixups and stungame, that is a whole other dimension to the meaning yea?
Also, if i had only looked for consistent stun followups i wouldve never foundout taki's Crouching 1a+b stunned on CH against a FLOORED opponent, how the heck can you reproduce that out of a stungame. No offence but im pretty genious concerning this find if i would ask myself, but asking myself i will always say 'yes cous you are kindof awesome' so i guess thats no arguement.
 
This reminds me of Tetsuya Hikari. He had his PSN comment as 3K66K66B+KAB4BB:A, and when I said you know that's not a real combo right he said people never break stuns online. He then proceeds to bitch and complain like always.
 
LOL Couslali, I told you on the other forum that what you post is useless and what do you do? Post a video of random moves that dont connect and calling them mixups even though its not because your doing all mids. Its either I block high or low, no matter how many moves you wanna throw out, its still a 50% chance Im gonna guess right. And since you dont wanna do guaranteed combos, and take like 20 damage instead, you would never win against good people offline. MAybe you dont care, but then you post a vid thats useless to good players. Then, you ask for feedback, and you get ALL negative feedback. You think thats just a coincidence and your the only one that can see the light with your video? No its not, its because that video is useless to good players. Now stop acting like your so clever with your useless mixups when your not, at all.
