yea 66k is range safe and there really isn't any exact indicator to tell you where you can punish it or not.

Considering punishment is just balls in general, and Master likes to just keep on attacking anyway, sometimes it's better to just go for a strike.

No, it was just safer. The hit frames are less than the disadvantage on block. In order to be advantage by distance, the hit frames woul have to be greater than the disadvantage on block and hit on that frame or later.

Well, tourney tomorrow, so I'll try Bass first and switch to Leon if it turns to shit.

6K is punch counter and 4K is kick counter, right?

Meh, I don't give a shit. They didn't have Leon unlocked and I sticked with Bass till finals and won a round with Bayman till I lost to a busa who actually played the game.

Overall, great performance on my end. This game on the other hand can go fuck itself.

I take it the Busa player won the tournament. Yeah if you got to the finals with Bass then it was a great perfrmance on your end.

For having played the game for less than three hours, I did great.

And yes, the Busa player won because he messed around on Dimensions before he came to the tournament.

edit: I was going to start a Bass appreciation thread, but then I realized that you don't need that for the best character in the game.

Damn that's fucked up. You would think that all the characters being unlocked would be a standard for tournaments period, guess not.

Hey, what do you guys think/know about Spartan (Nicole)-458? I've been messing around with the cast to keep things fresh for me and she really caught my interest. I know she's a hybrid of Leon and Bayman but what is her strategy? what does she revolve around?

In the immortal words of Clubber Lang: "Pain."

In general, she's a super heavy who is tough to juggle, decent strings, a :F+P: throw that punishes wake-up kicks and is guaranteed damage if opponent is back-to-wall that links to force-tech game, has a devastating 12i plasma throw that works on front and back facing opponents. She's considered S-class at best and A-class at worst. I think her only negative is the lack of a solid true mid attack with not many crushes.

In other words, pain.

Hmm, interesting, I'm going to have to mess around with her some more then. How are her matchups like? Does she have a problem against the ninjas? like every character in this game doesn't have a problem against the ninjas lol.

Personally with doa5 around the corner I wouldn't bother messing with spartan as she's definitely not going to be in doa5. I'd love to see her fighting style be incorporated into a new character though as I loved playing spartan, but for some reason I don't see that happening.

In other words, don't bother with this game.

I mean, you got Dimentions, that's something, right? Go play on that.

I suggest getting a 3DS if you got cash to spare, especially if you're thinking of getting into Tekken Tag2 since Tekken Hybrid has all the Tag2 movesets.

I would if I had a job, but that's a different topic; and Tekken lost my interest ever since 6 came out (and I played 6). I'm more a Virtua Fighter guy lol.
