NM vs Cerv/Raph casuals

Tiamat

Tiamat

[11] Champion
Put up some casual matches I had with Millionz a few days ago. For whatever reason these are somehow the first NM vs Cervy vids I have put up in SC4. We have not played NM vs Cervy in ages so we don't block punish as hard as we should.

He should sometimes I agree, but I know why he doesn't. Eventually everyone here got so sick of eating 1aK (hits jumper) > GS KK combo that they just stopped jumping it altogether lol. Also some situations where I use it you can't GI or jump it anyway (though most of the time yes).
 
Haha dude, you were going for the critical finish so bad and millionz didn't want to give it up to you. :) I love your NM dude, Step G is awesome. Sucks how 2A shuts down your GS rush so bad. not a single CH GS A.
 
Yea haha. Had to 11K him (11K does decent CF btw). I got at least one CH GS A vs raph but that was cause I used it by itself while he was in a stance. Honestly though, and Millionz agrees on this, if they are only using 2A to shut down GS, its 10 damage....that doesn't scare me away from using moves like WR and 33B6 etc though it doesn't let me pressure either

also...we learned from this session that cervantes 2A/FC A has oddly long range. it will hit me out of NSS from a range where 2As usually miss

What he said

and to elaborate a bit more, a lot of tiamat's 1[A]s are done on oki so i don't feel comfortable just jumping immedietly on wakeup. Plus tiamat likes to play with partial charge 1[A]s which will hit a lot more than people think.

and yeah...if you're a NM player you really dont need to worry about 2A shutting down your NSS/GS transistions. IMO the risk/reward is just waaaaaaaaaay too in NM's favor (especially if its a wall staged -__- )
 
Fun matchs to watch. Id post some comments but I have to go get cat neutered :p. Ill post some comments later. Millonz I espicially have some tips that should help you out. But overall it was pretty good. Good stepping.

Ok Im back/ I Noticed thatTiamat was stepping your 1K 6K or bK 6K everyonce in a while which is excellent defence. If you want to prevent the step and keep it fairly safe you should try 6A after bK and 2A after 1K or aB using RCC if neccisarry. It usually works for me. Your3B 8A+K iGDR didnt work because its NM. Generally I find that combo unreliable against most of the cast. Try not using 8A+K and you will find better results. With your CH 3B iTP B+K the reason it missed is because you where still it confirming and missed the timing of the iTP. I recomend 8A+B:BK JF, it's easier to hit confirm with and it does the same damage. Work on the iTP ( I have trouble with it all the time :p). And Also work on your wall combos, he gets insane damage. Ill give you a link to one of my favoritee SC4 vids for Cervy (hella good wall combos). Anyways hope this is helpful/

 
thanks guys, glad you liked them =)

Schneider: I just didn't put up the other one XD it was same setup though lol
