    The Last Priestess of the Wind

    I haven't posted here in almost a decade. It's good to be back now that Talim (and my Lakers) have returned. :-D

    1/18/08 - cali regionals - simi valley, ca

    Yes, Amy's 1A is negative on hit (-1), but remember she has an 11-frame 6B. That will interrupt someone trying a generic 13-frame FC 2A who was hit by 1A. Since the opponent is in FC after 1A hits, even Taki can't just whip out a 10-frame attack, so Amy is still in control of the flow. In...

    Ban Hilde

    Some additional thoughts... - Countee, in Tekken 4 the community banned all stages except one for tournies, and for reasons less potent than Hilde's relative strength in SCIV. - Banning her from Regionals and the Nationals would be extreme and unfair at this point. After that, it should be...

    CALI REGIONALS!! GET HYPE!! aftermath

    M0Tempest actually uses her and got creamed easily vs. Hilde. Isn't Alex J also from No. Cali? He didn't come close to escaping her insta-win juggles either. It all comes down to reward vs. risk. Everyone gets hit by a solid mid or an auto-Gi every now and then during matches; it's just that...

    CALI REGIONALS!! GET HYPE!! aftermath

    Congrats to everyone who placed. It was good to see a wide variety of characters and styles played. My favorite matches of the tourney were the ones with Alex J using his Amy. Among other things he did an excellent job at connecting 33B most of the time he tried it. If he added the two JF...

    Ban Hilde

    Props to Cedric for being a great player. In no way am I saying anything negative about him because he did what he is supposed to do, which is to go all-out with any and all the tools allowed. I never saw Hilde being played full strength before yesterday's tourney, so I had no opinion on her...

    Auto-GI List

    I don't know about the others, but in my tests with Amy it seems her auto-GIs come out in 3 frames (like normal GIs) and are active for 10 frames (normal GIs last 7 frames).

    Talim Frames

    It would be better if you learned how to read the data since players have been doing it this way for years. Especially with the Wiki pages, the format is fine.

    Actually, the correct notation for the custom string is: AS A (hits)~2_8, WC AA~2_8, WC 4~6, WL K (hits), 66B, 2A+B~6, AS K (ground hit) One thing I suggest to you guys who don't already do it: try to use ~AS K after any oki attack that allows you to jump forward when you are against...

    Thanks fellas. - Against Ivy my main problem (besides over-aggression and a few input mistakes at times) was ring control. I put myself into positions to be rung out when I had a lead and need to work on that. Ivy can't do a hard punish on Talim's unsafe AS moves so they are worth taking...

    Just Ukemi List

    I haven't checked it, but I'd be surprised if Talim's 33B:6B didn't allow a JU to avoid the 2A+B.

    Talim Video Archive

    ^^^ That's often the case with fighters in high level play: strategically abusing what works. I fall into the same trap as you at times by trying too much variety. Even in SC2 I didn't abuse her awesome 33A nearly enough to help flesh out the rest of her game. After seeing Oof's latest vids...

    Congrats OOF

    Let me add my congrats to a truly awesome player. No doubt people respect you as one of the elites Oof, and I hope you continue to do welll whether you use Talim or not. As for the issue of whether the lil' Filipina is worthless or not, aren't we past that argument now? I mean no one willl...

    Talim Video Archive

    I haven't had a chance to view all of the vids Oof recently put up, but once again good job for repping Talim well at that tourney. You won quite a few matches with her it seems. From the ones I checked out, I was impressed by how often FC 33B AS A+K worked as a initial setup. That is, without...

    Cool videos; thanks for posting. Obviously Mina is tough to get in on, but your Voldo matches were fun to watch. I noticed a number of good ideas you had for certain setups that were working well. 8WR left in particular scored you a lot of free damage in the three vids, especially when he was in...

    SC4 Character Ranking List?

    Post-GI is a good item to rank. There are some characters that get far better "free" damage post-GI (if they are not re-GI'd) than other characters. If you are fighting a character with poor "free" GI damage, then you can relax a bit more on trying to re-GI by simply blocking and breaking...

    Ring-Out!

    If you play SC, you have to learn to accept ROs. With that said, I've never been a fan of them even though of course I'll do it if I have the opportunity. The perfect tweak IMHO is if Namco gave the person being rung out maybe 1 single frame to tech catch the ledge to pull himself back into the...

    Git up in There! Amy Combos!

    I tested it myself, I tested it vs. Aris, several people have confirmed it on the forum - it is guaranteed IF the 66B is done fast. Simply record it in practice mode to see for yourself.
