Yea I definitely gotta take to heart her sidestep from flamingo. That's just so cool. Otherwise though I tend to not stay in flamingo, just seems more restrictive than I'd like (but learning the sidestep should help that). I never really try to use her parry, I have enough trouble reading attacks as it is when blocking.In Sarah's case, memorize her move list and abuse the moves that make transitions normal~flamingo and flamingo~normal. Go to Free Training and see which moves stun, which ones launch and learn a few good juggles. Use her flamingo parry and learn how to sidestep with it. She's very cool.
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah...i hate her. Just mash Kick Button and voilá... haha
Lei-Fei, Lei-Fei, Lei-Fei... i love him. Just mash buttons and voilá... haha
I thought your name looked familiar! Durr... I'm slow.Good game yesterday to grap3
I thought your name looked familiar! Durr... I'm slow.
I'm actually pretty terrible and I'm shocked I beat you to be honest. There were a few moments where you were scaring the hell out of me and I couldn't do anything. Or wait... Did I beat you? I don't even remember.
Yesterday was my first time playing in well over a week and I could definitely tell. I need to push myself to get more time in with the game so I can improve.
I don't really understand sidestepping. Coming from a DOA background, that should make a lot of sense, right? Whenever I try to do it, I always manage to get hit and it seems pretty worthless to me until I play someone that actually knows how to use it and they manage to avoid every single attack I throw out. Halp!
dat DOA influenceYou played an interesting Jean, a lot more defense oriented than the ones I usually see
I had but playing you rekindled my interest and I immediately hopped back into sparring with Akira for a bit.By the way, I hope you haven't given up on Akira
A mashing Pai, not playing against her with delay is very easy to deal with. She's not exactly safe after finished strings. At best she gets a few 50/50 situations after some of them. The players you beat like that, don't know what they are doing or how to deal with her once she finishes a string. That is if you were literally mashing with her.
Probably got their rank from just playing the shit out of the game, it's not like you lose points when you lose.
Points don't matter as far as rank is concerned. What matters is that bar at the bottom of the screen on your side.
You cannot be demoted from a Hunter back to a 10th Dan but the next rank up is Raider. If you lose too many times and your rank bar get depleted, welcome back to Hunter. You can easily get demoted in this game for losing too many times.
Can't rank up in this game by playing lower ranked people like you can in DOA since the ranking in DOA is based on points.
