F00LY; I'm no pro, but I think I can help you out. I got all of my information from this thread (http://8wayrun.com/threads/basic-notations-and-terminology.58/).
The tildes denote quick/immediate inputs (for buttons it denotes a slide, but since it is directional inputs, I am going to assume...
I'll be at GU, I'm bringing my 360 and an Asus VH236H with a copy of SCV, SFIV and UMvC3. SCV will probably be in it all night (long, hurr). I'll be rolling in around 10:00 at the latest. Can't wait!
This was the part that was throwing me off. I thought that meant frame data with orb | frame data without orb. Thanks for the clarification. One more question? i# is how many frames elapse before the move hits, right? Like startup frames in Street Fighter?
I'm well-versed in Street Fighter frame data, but I don't quite get the FD here. A lot of moves seem safer on block than on hit, and that doesn't make any sense at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Good stuff Destinizish! Question though: it looks like a lot of the moves are actually at better frame advantage on block...and that doesn't really make sense. Am I misunderstanding something?
Total Soul Calibur scrub, but I found, if nothing else, a fun combo. Forgive me if it's in one of the videos (I'm at work and YouTube is acting up). Yell at me if the notation is wrong, I'm still learning this stuff:
33B (fully charged) AAB CE 33B (fully charged) AAB CE 33B (fully charged) AA...
DSBlackfox; be aware that 2/18 is the same weekend as Winter Brawl. Normally I'd be down to come out for a tourney, but I'll be in Philly, as likely will a lot of people. Just FYI!
Now, who's gonna teach me how to play this game tomorrow evening at GU? I've got some pretty Viola combos, but...
I was messing around with 4A BE and I found that it doesn't always combo. I'm a SC noob, so maybe there's just some fundamental thing that I'm not understanding, can someone elaborate on this? It seems like a really solid combo starter, but I want to make sure not to use it if it's not going to...
I usually stay until they kick me out, ~2 AM or so. I have plenty of couch space that you could crash on and take a bus the next day.
SCV is sick. Dampierre didn't wow me like I thought he would, Yoshi seems cool but gimmicky, Ivy and Cervy both look solid but hard to get the hang of, and I'm...
I'm in Wakefield, MA. There are two commuter rail stops in my town. Alternatively, I usually pick up my friend Leo from Allston on my way to GU...if you could get to North Station I could give you a ride NP. I'll be going on Friday, if you wanna try to hitch along.
I look forward to making your...
