SoulCast #20: Aeon

Holy snaps, we got another one in before the new year! I have to admit, this is a character I've been very interested in but haven't had enough motivation to actually research myself.

Thankfully, I can lean on the pros, in this case Reptile, well known for his proliferate abilitiy with the lizardman. He had an excellent showing at the recent event NEC, so if you want that knowledge,

(Also, here's the link I was talking about at the end of the episode. Shouldn't take you more than 30 seconds to help out, and I greatly appreciate it!)

 

So can you, like, JG the last hit of Natsu's AAB after guarding the whole string up until that point?

Also...like, I'll JG the first hit of someone's AA or BB a lot (on prediction or anticipation or whatever) but end up eating or regular guarding the second...is it possible to JG the second hit on reaction after having JG'd the first on prediction?

Well, the follow up post JG A or B is too fast to react. If you JG, the first HIT and then JG the second, that's more like reacting to the fact that you JG'd the first hit. Considering someone can do a single A, and you usually whiff another JG attempt if you were trying to do so. But, you can DUCK the second A post JG A. Also, aGI is a viable options post JG B for the follow up. Well, an aGI that aGI's verticals.

 

Xiang, thank you so much for continuing to bring out these podcasts. They're fun to listen to and they're fantastic for the community.

 

Best part:

"How did you end up with Aeon? What made you pick him up?"

"Well, you know....he's a lizaard. And....yeah, he's a lizard."

 

I picked him up 'cause he's a dragon.

Which is kind of the same I guess.

And this may be late, but I will throw my 2 cents in that I have never once seen an Aeon player who was above a below-average level online, and have certainly never seen an Aeon main.

 

Hey, dudes, Reptile and I got our ft5 in (I updated the main post). I've been mum on it because he plays on XBL while I play on PSN, so I didn't want to promise anything until we were sure we could get it done. Luckily, he got access to a PS3.

Not a too exciting ft5 this time, but for those aspiring Aeon players out there, you can watch how to best destroy a scrub. :)

 

Very well done on the podcast!

AZ

 

So many throws in the FT5. Canadien technology too stronk.

 

Well, especially against me. For some reason, I have a hell of time breaking them in SC. Not really a huge deal when I play Tekken (and I know they're different), but I mash that shit and I get nothing for my efforts. :/

 

Dang, rough ft5 for xiang, couldnt open Reptile up and 66A messed up your spacing game quite hard, i feel for you man! :) Great interview btw

 

Awesome interview Reptile, that's why you're my hero.

Lol heck yah it was by the way I've been maining Aeon for a bit now and I've run a few sets against Fahros but I rarely beat him, that rugi is beast make sure to whoop him for the Aeons again man lol. :D
