I had to look up what you were talking about. I never realized different teams produced different entries to the series and that my favorites came from Team Symphonia specifically. That explains a whole lot.

He means specific to your opponent and what tools they have. Like against Natsu you want to hang around on the ground for a bit in case of 2A+B, but versus Pyrrah you should just get up and be ready to break throws or step/JG/GI the 2nd hit of 66B BE.

I started Tales of Symphonia 2 tonight. I don't think I can take much more of Emil. I'm hoping he cuts himself and bleeds out.

I finished Tales of Graces f over the weekend and although it was good I liked Symphonia and Vesperia better. Graces is the first one in the series that I don't feel like going through again.

You can try to air control when you get launched, but it won't always work. If the stun or juggle is part of a true combo you'll just have to eat the damage. It works the other way also. When you practice combos in training mode makes sure the second action for the dummy is set to all guard...

I had to take Astaroth through the arcade mode just to see what you are talking about. I have no exp playing Astaroth, but also didn't have a problem so it likely only boils down to game fundamentals. Know his fastest moves up close. These are: 6AA - on hit this leaves them ducking for an...

Basically this. The only way I see to struggle against easy CPU is to constantly mash attacks while getting hit. This leads to counter hits which add extra damage, knockdown, launch, and/or stun.

For CPU on easy: 1. Press guard to get up. You'll block immediately. 2. If it is landing hits (you are at frame disadvantage) hold the guard button until you successfully block a string. 3. Now attack immediately because you have frame advantage. Keep attacking as long as your hits land. 4. When...

I played Amy primarily in SC4 and had Sophitia as my secondary. With the exclusion of Amy's style I went with Pyrrha after trying out a few other characters. She has all of Sophitia's major tools. The only thing to get used to are the other characters' moves to know when to punish. Getting...

I also use rhythm. Once you get it it can be done with your eyes closed, literally. Practice, practice, practice until you find the rhythm.

Natsu is Taki. Create a soul if you want the model to go with the move list. Easily done. The Pyrrhas are different blends of Sophitia and Cassandra. Talim...dunno.

I won't deny that I've won a few close battles because I blocked a low kick at the end, muahahaha!

If you can hit the just frame reliably Omega near a wall or ring edge gets pretty close to this.

Man, I love this series. Final Fantasy gets the press but Tales has the mojo. I have Tales of the Abyss but never took it out of the shrink wrap. Same with Tales of Symphonia 2. I'm currently playing Tales of Graces F after my nightly SC5 bouts.

I first I thought it would be a whiff due to tech crouch, but then what happened? Weapons pinging together? Cervantes shouldn't be throwing around his CE outside of a combo anyways.
