Theres 2 moves That I haven't been able to do *JF's aside for a moment*
her 1 A: A :A move
and this move or Silver Moon FuryI've Got a 360 controller and my birthday is coming next week....Do you guys think It'd be a good idea to buy and arcade stick?Anyways I learned a way to do her 1aB with almost no effort. First input the :1: command and then just slide your finger from :A: to :B:.BUT you have to do it in a certain pace or timing.Once you learn that you can do her JF for :1::aB: just quicken the pace your fingers sliding from a to b (but I'm probably not making any sense since I'm a nOoB) BUT another way to learn her JF's is turning off the backround music and leaving the sound effects on and whenever you hear her blade or attack hit the opponent input the next attack. Like 3 b:b for example

Okay guys and gals I figured out how to her Silver Moon Fury move
*after like 2 hours or so XP*
And an easy way to do and learn her 1,2,3 move is to hit the :A: button when the box's that says *High* *Low* *MidLow* Etc; Anyways whenever they appear just press the
:A: button the exact moment you see them and taa-dahh :} BUT it will take some time to get used to doing her JF's in an actual battle if you do this because you won't be used to doing her JFs without the box's indicating that she just did her first hit so thats why you turn off the background music while you're practicing but leaving the Sound effects volume on.this way you can replace the hit box's indication that you need to press the next button for the JF with the attacks SFX afterwards
(I know this won't make sense to allot of people though because I'm a noOb

I finally got that B+K series down yesterday. The only real key to it for me was doing 61B as fast as possible, and mashing the 11A+B or 44B+K.
 
Setsuka Lounge

For me, mashing is never the solution for pulling off a Setsuka combo. Careful preciseness is the key. Too bad I can still only pull of her best moves in training.
 
Setsuka Lounge

I don't think I will ever be competitive with Setsuka until I get an arcade stick. I just can't hit things like 214_3aB worth the flip on the sucky d-pad that is PS3. If only I could use my PS2 controller. I also for the life of me can't get the timing on 1:1B right it just seems so random.

I only do it for B+K 61B 11A+B. Mashing doesn't help with the 44B+K version (Which I can still pull off, but not as well). For some reason, I think you can push A during the combo, but not K, which is why 61A+B 11A+B seems to consistently work. Nevertheless, I always try to be precise with other combos and JFs, except with Cassie's 4BB:A.

Edit: What do you all typically do after her throws, especially her A+G one? I usually use 33B, but I have the feeling that there's a better option, or a really nasty okizeme technique.

watch setsuka swing in a circle, you input the second :B: at 1 o'clock, the latest input probably at 2 o'clock.

:A:+:K:, :B: into umbrella tech catches all i think, too lazy to check.

btw, if it helps, you can either do the ender as :6::6::B:+:K:, or :4::4::B:+:K:, likewise w/ :3::3::A:+:B:, and :1::1::A:+:B:
 
Setsuka Lounge

I didn't know that, thanks. I'll have to check the A+K thing tomorrow, since I've played way too much today.
 
Setsuka Lounge

BTW some characters can tech out of A+G A+K B Umb, and it doesn't work on Asta if he guards I believe.
 
Setsuka Lounge

Ah, now I remember teching to the side when I fought a Setsy player. I forget who I did it with, besides Siegfried.
 
Setsuka Lounge

Yep, it's not guaranteed on everyone, but it's still hard to escape because the camera switches sides making consistently teching it to the correct side harder than usual.
 
Setsuka Lounge

Am I the only person who uses only the D-pad when playing as Setsuka? For some reason I just don't have the accuracy I need on the stick. I tend to switch back and fourth when playing other characters.

I play Sets on pad too. I can do everything on a stick 'save for Umbrella. It just makes me so frustrated. .___.

If you left tech A+K B will not cross over, and thus making the combo a little harder. I was unintentionally doing that last time we played, and I just checked to make sure.

BTW, when are we playing Rico?

I'm out of town for the weekend but I might be free Sunday night. If not, Monday or Tuesday will be fine.
 
Setsuka Lounge

I use a freakin D-pad and I just got her B+K series down and now my thumbs about to fall off because you have to mash the directions so hard to get them to read.
 
Similarities: SC Setsuka vs VF Akira

Hello!

I have been thinking the same thing actually. I do mention to my peers that SC sets is VF akira :/

I think so because both do crazy damage, but both require mad precise inputs.

Both are throw reliant... and a few good lows.. like sets has 11A and 1A and akira has low back fist and 2K..

SPOD is B+K 61B 44B+K/33A+B.. unsafe and hella pain:D

the 'sabakis' for setsuka will be stuff like A+B and GI in this game.

i actually think that both of them have good range... like Super dashing elbow has excellent range .. just like 33b...

And for akira, abare with yohou or SDE is like abare with FC3aB with sets.. just unsafe.

but i feel akira and sets have on BIG difference...

akira has no full circulars... sets does.. and she can kill step really well at all ranges IMO.

still differences in the system must be taken into account.. after all, SC and VF are different games...

when transitioning from VF to SC, the need to abare at big disadvantage (+7) is alot less pronounced because unlike VF, a CH does not give massive advantage to the point you cannot duck a throw in time... so yaeh.. even when at + 15~16 and you think a throw is coming, you can still duck lol. So its more lenient in that sense... I myself cannot decide in time to abare or not when im at -7.

The other big difference is the step/evade system...

but yea i like both games alot.. just that i feel SC is more lenient because its slower, (hence there is more time to make decisions when playing nitaku/reverse-nitaku), has easier execution... and its easier to nail the basics... sooo you can get past learning the execution alot faster if you come from VF imo.. and get to the mindgames earlier...

my memories of learning vf basic techniques make me cringe >_<"
 
Similarities: SC Setsuka vs VF Akira

Yeah, they're pretty similar. Akira's a lot harder for me execution-wise, though; only thing I have issues with regarding Setsuka is her a:g:B JF (and JF umbrella enders on bad days). Crouch dash buffering with Akira, on the other hand, is the bane of my existence.
 
Setsuka Lounge

Whoa. I finally decided to pack my all my things and leave caliburforums and migrate to 8WR. Nice to see that the soul arenas are full of life here.

Ok, to the stick/pad debate: Before I started playing on a stick, I could get the umbrella at about 60%. I´ve been using a stick for about a year now and I can do the umbrella almpst as easy as I can do BB now. (I´m doing the JF just like Yoshi´s iMCF, sliding from A to B that is)

B+K series: Actually I discovered that you´ve got a lot of freedom as far as the input is concerned. You could for example press B+K 91B 4B+K, where the "1" counts as the first "back"/4 input for the last part of the string. You´d have to input the 4 shortly after the 1 though. Try to experiment with what works best for you. The timing still has to be done right and I wouldn´t advise mashing it either, as that makes it less reliable in my opinion.
