hate that lol

that what i do againts noobs: 1) block very much until I recognize an string u other oportunitiy to star offensive and get a stun, then 2) maximize damage in stun game also 3) get advantage in oki game to prevent they get into offense

They constantly block mid punch (attacks which I happen to use often) and they will just randomly stop in the middle of a string and throw. Like they're just pressing all buttons randomly. They keep beating my Hayabusa -_-

*hold mid punch

Initiate your offense with 6K, then go straight into 4H+K, 33P4, juggle.

Works like a charm

They hold the 33P. Nonstop mid punch holds. Lost again 2-0 -.- It's a Hayate by the way.

You can't hold 33P after 4H+K man. it's guaranteed from the sitdown stun -_-

Then I did something wrong lmao

Well, I won. Only got to use that move once though. 6K start too slow

Online these "random mashing" tactics only really seem to work because it's hard to react to what's happening. Offline, random mashing doesn't work very well. The best suggestion is to know your match-ups and appropriately mash back. The random Mid P's holds are aggravating as hell since it reduces the match to "Punch~Grab" fests.

Is 33p really guaranteed after 4H+K? I could of sworn it's not, even without slow escaping...

Wow. I actually stand corrected. With a fastest stagger escape, you only get +18 (I was under the impression it was +20). It that something that changed in Ultimate, or am I just smoking crack?

Either way, that's balls. But yeah if they just frame the fastest stagger escape, they can hold/block on the frame. That's dastardly mid P hold noobs you go there. In that case, swap 33P with 6KK.
