Christie Noob #1

=)

About to get into some training mode and try some of this stuff all out.

Thanks again for all the input guys!

By and large you're on the right track like Awesmic implied, but some suggestions I'd make is to not really use something like PKK2K as a poking string since it's just High~High~High~Low making the string defendable by low blocking everything and thus leaving Christie unsafe and open to punishment. However doing something like PKK~JAK~2K or PKK~JAK~4P, etc. is alright for mix-up purposes since KK & PKK transition into JAK. The opponents did get hit by it here anyway I know lol, but it can be a bit of a liability offline.

Instead, poking with P~strings (PP, PPP, PPPP~JAK, etc.) is a bit better for setting up offense and a tick throw game (where 4T is generally the go to throw, though 66T & 63214T are fairly strong in their own respect). 6P~strings can be used as a mix-up to P~strings due to its speed, reach and decent stun on CH. 6PP~JAK mixups are great against a stunned opponent. For Mid-K poking options: 4K has good reach and provides a strong lift stun on CH. H+K can induce a strong stun on NH along with being a fast tracking mid, and 3K has decent follow-ups with the very delayable 3KP, and 3K can transition into JAK for additional mix-up potential. For a low poke, 2H+K is a good option, whereas 1P is good if you're certain that you may CH your opponent since 1PK is a Low~Mid K launch string, on top of having tracking ability and deceptively long reach.

When you have your opponent stunned in the threshold, opt for a launcher such as 8K, 33P, FC 3P, 9K, etc. instead of doing 6KK since you're negating yourself juggle damage on the opponent. 6KK is fine if you're trying to knock an opponent off a cliff or into a danger zone. If you're feeling frisky, and have the opponent heavily stunned, you can also try 3P+K~K for a high launch and a subsequent strong juggle. 3P+K~T can keep any of their hold attempts in check for a reset.

If you wall slam your opponent, you can get a small relaunch with either 2PP or 6K, then can follow-up with 3PPP, or 6KP for solid wall juggle damage. There's other juggle options by I usually go with those ones. If you have an opponent pressured at the wall, 66T and 3P+K~T can ruin their lives.

Along with Goarmagon's tips and Awesmic's primer, I suspect that you'll do just fine. Thanks for sharing.

Ok cool. Thanks guys!

Goarmagon also gave you an outdated version of my primer. This is the thread you wanna go in, with all the relevant strategies still intact:

@awesmic Lol thanks, yeah I understand the basics of the game and I've gone through her Combo/Command trainings so I know a few things. I feel like I only have a few tricks though and then I get figured out.

From the looks of it, you don't play like you're brand new. You're doing just fine.

@goarmagon Thanks a lot for the tips! Much appreciated!

I wonder how many people we would need to get her removed from the game through a petition?

Try not to finish your strings. She is mostly mid P and people know this and love to spam the hold button. Her throws aren't that good but a tick throw is a tick throw and that will set them up not to hold as much.

Also learn her Gatotsu(machine gun punch) JAK cancels. This will let you mix people up and make you harder to hit because she is unsafe on block.

When near a wall you should be doing 3PPP when you have them in the air for the most damage, depending on how light the character is you may be able to get some free cancelled 6K's in there.

Limit your usage of 3P+K outside of the opponent being knocked down or stunned because you can be throw punished on reaction. However when they are in stun and mashing hold then its devastating.

There is plenty of stuff to keep in mind when playing Christie so I advise you to come over to these threads and ask some questions.
