Buckling Down: Talim's Matchups

I started a list awhile ago, but when I realized it was something working mostly due to the training mode being less than stellar, I threw it out, but... seems it does seem to have some merit. Which is post-GI, you can RE~WNC K against Ivy if she chooses to do an A+B. Other options will get absorbed too, so it's a pretty nice option.

While my early testing showed this to work on a lot of the cast (bad training mode), seems it's only a very small subsection. I'll have to figure out which ones again. If nothing else, it's a nice way to deal with post-GI stuff, since even if you do get hit by an A+B, you won't get lethaled. Sort of a gimmicky thing, but there ya go. I've been doing it a lot lately. Seems to annoy the hell out of people.

What do you mean Bad Training Mode?

For instance if you set action 1 to GI and then action 2 to do the characters A+B, it doesn't do it as fast as is actually possible. I didn't realize that at first, and for a time thought Talim could RE-wnc out of most post Gi situations, but that's not true.

Ways around it are doing it yourself (play as ivy for instance), or record yourself mashing A+B and then instead of picking a move from the movelist, select play recording as action 2 instead.

Never trust training mode -- I knew that already, as it's true in most games, but yeah -- always gotta test that shit yourself.

I just record the dummy doing 2K > GI > A+B. Then I play that one sequence. As Talim, I eat the 2K, then hit a button that triggers GI'd, and then try to avoid it with RE cancel.

So it appears that, if Zasalamel GI's you and gets "light attack" GI, his 2A+B Guard Break is guaranteed force block. Blegh.

Oh I live the same! They are my worst match-up statistically, followed by Yoshimitsu. Azwell and Yoshi seems overall strong. Geralt is at least solid, but my main concern is his Yrden move : I get trapped so often, and it can RO from so far! Hate it.

I have a better time versus even Ivy or Mi-Na than three of them.

Yeah pretty much. Ivy and Mina aren't hard as some of the Talim players tell me. Hell, she goes even with Ivy.

I can show you better than I can tell you but her and time mixed up from op shut me down last night and I was playing a really good taki but it was a complete slaughter and wasn't like I wasn't making moves and adjusting to him it was just I couldn't defend myself I'm going to see if I can put up some videos later.

PS how do I change my username
