SCV Ivy FAQ & General Discussion

Nevermind, 3B is -10... Natsu can punish it with AA

In my opinion, 3B is one of the best launchers out there. As for doing it twice in a row, it's really successful against some characters, but really dangerous for others. Astaroth gets a free backgrab if he grabs between the first and second, and NM can easily backdash to whiff punish the second one.
 
Yeah, I think its still effective. I was referring to my comment about not thinking it was -10. I guess I should have clarified that.
 
Yea 3b is "ok". It is unsafe against some characters, but it's good. 6b is good as well, but be careful, because you cant poke with it like you could in SCIV; due to sidestepping n back stepping is not good in the game. 3k and 4b are both really good. They both cancel/punish moves AND keep you at a +.
 
I think 6B is really good. Safe, adv on hit, TC and it should kill backdash when Ivy is at + frames.

You do realise 3B is basically a counteroffensive move right?
Its an evading launcher man - fuck that being safe. Its still pretty boss, but it ain't no poke, I think you're just looking at it the wrong way to be honest =/.

Agreed but there's no point in NH 3b. It does useless dmg n plus I rarely use. I try to have a defensive ivy in SCV, due to the fact that shes slow as hell and boring.
 
Lexia gets frame advantage - you get a knockdown, ie a free throw/powermid mixup out of defence. What am I missing?
 
Some people have no respect for Ivy's launcher. I mean, it works without counter against Nightmare for 1/3 of his health! This makes Ivy a real tough matchup for NM players, what more could you want??
 
Hello all! I'm new to 8wayrun and I,m considering Ivy. Do any of you have any advice(any at all) for performing the calamity symphony grab on a reg ps controller? Thnx in advance.
 
can't get the FC1B launcher to work. at what range does FC 1B launch? is there a certain state the character has to be in or does it need counter hit?

You pretty much have to be right up on them and even then there are times where it doesn't wanna launch, its really finicky. If you are in training just move to the opponents side before doing this, I find that if you are straight on with them it will not launch.
 
Playing around online today and this guy kept praising 3K charged...so I started using it a bit. But I really never thought of a situation where this move applies...any thoughts or ideas on it?

It's a way to get back to neutral, that's pretty much it. Thankfully, Ivy shines (better than other chars at least) in her neutral game due to superior movement, fast highs and decent close range mids.
 
I am very ashamed to say that Kalas is beating me horribly with Leixia :P

I should at least be able to get one win if I was a good Ivy, shouldn't I? :P
