No worries. I know how frustrating it can be. My Nero's not that much better than yours, I just know where his openings are. While I'm thinking about it, 2Cs are also good deterrants for jump-in happy people like myself, though really aren't a good idea against the characters with a good dash or projectiles.

>>2023379
Hah, yeah. And animal-spam just fails miserably against Ciel, Satsuki, and the lolis.
I really should fire off more A-crows when they're keeping at a distance, though. I lost count of how many BEAM-U I just stood there and blocked.

>>2023386
It's okay, I learned yesterday that M-Hisui wins the crow vs beam adventure. Not to mention that she can just Ex it to sidestep the crow and punish him at the same time.

everyone knows im tsuntsun for /jp/ already anyway, this is just more proof of that ;_;

A lot farther than I thought.

>>2023544
GGs. Use Len's j.B more against ground people. Better reach quicker start up. You figured it out eventually, but the weakness of Len's 5C is that if it whiffs on the second spin, you're going to be eating a lot of damage. Try to always cancel it into something else. Throw more cats. MORE CATS. ALWAYS MORE CATS.

>>2023895
GGs. It's really hard to connect jB to a ground combo though, I can't seem to get it down in practice. The pushback is just too much.

>>2023767
good games. God dammit, isn't there anyone on /jp/ that is near my level in this game, kinda getting tiring having my ass handed to me all the damn time.

>>2023792
GGs.

Far be it from me to offer advice, but here are a few things I notice Ciel players doing to me:
Heat->Hiero. If the opponent goes into heat and you have 100%+ magic circuit, you hit them with 236C.
Recover->Hiero. If the opponent techs off the ground and you have 100%+, hit them with a Hiero.

Your side-games (called 'okizeme' by most) were pretty good (better than I do; I focus more on hitting a few combos or setups); dashing under me when I thought I was in the corner got me fucked up badly on multiple occasions. You might want to learn how to implement jumping into that; as it is, I've got a 50% chance of blocking just by holding down and a direction.

Learn a few Bread-n-Butter combos, as well. Either make your own, or look a few up. Doing that made my Nero a lot better than it used to be.


For a few Nero-specific tips: Unless I'm in Max Heat, my Arc Drive can be dodged simply by double-jumping and air-dashing backwards (It doesn't go so far). The EX Snake is unblockable when you're in the air; don't try to jump out of it, and if you see me use a special while you're in the air, air dash or double-jump if you can.

>>2023916
Getting owned is how it's gonna be for a while. Once you grasp the basics that are universal to fighting games, you just need to absorb the nuances of the particular game.

After that, you games will start being closer, and when you eat a combo you may start to have an inkling of what led to it and what you might have done differently.

Even though it seems like there is a huge skill gap, once you have execution and basics down, it all comes down to who is better at guessing what the other person is going to do next.

>>2023912
Put an j.a after it and you should have no problem. Also deals with people who try to clash anti-air.

You can also fake launch with 2B5B against most characters (timing's really tight for some) for about 2-300 extra damage.

>>2023916
There's a good chance I'm as close as you're gonna get; just learn a bit more of the basics, learn when to punish with Hiero, and we'll be dead even.

>>2023921
thanks for the advice, but as you probably noticed alot of the times I would get you into a combo I would fail to follow up, or would seem to punch and kick at the other side of the screen for no reason. My controller hates me and likes to let me suffer. Working on learning some combos, I can pull them off left and right in practice, but when it comes to the actual thing I setup the launch and always fail to pursue.

>>2023916
I haven't played in months and I was pretty low tier back then too.
That said, I can't host either, sorry.

Oh. And you can either extend that Len OTG combo quite a few more hits if you really wanted, drop an Arc on their face at the end of it to lock them down, or if you're in max, chain in a 623 to really annoy them. You can also relaunch ex-ice of the 236[A] if you're in max and want it to end slightly earlier or you just need a little extra damage to win. There's a lot more stuff you can do off the ex-ice 236[A] too aside from just a standard combo. 2B4B is a better launcher for that anyway. 2B214C gives you all kinds of throw or IAD crossup options, 236[B] can also be tossed in there, etc etc.

>>2023938
In practice there's no pressure.
When you know you're up against someone, even if they're not physically there next to you, there's a sense of pressure that occasionally causes a person to choke if they don't compete often/lack confidence.

You'll get there eventually, though it'd probably help your confidence to find someone near your skill level.

>>2023938
That's exactly how I was until recently. Just keep at it, and eventually the combos will be more muscle memory than watching and timing.

>>2023938
executing combos is all muscle memory, it's as simple as that.

i've been trying to pick up Miyako, but her ground combos require a precise sort input that I can't yet grasp. It's partly because her 2b has really weird properties and it's hard to get it to combo.

>>2023953
yeah I know that eventually, still, I've played probably over 100 matches each day since monday and only won about 1 each day... that's sad.

>>2023964
What controller are you using? (Be specific.)

>>2023966
an xbox 360 controller, there are plenty of times I try and just do a move and it simply does not listen. A perfect example is almost everytime I try to throw some keys when there's distance between me and my opponent, instead I just sit there like a retard doing an axe kick leaving me wide open for loads of punishment.

>>2023972
I hear the 360 dpad is horrendous, that might be part of the problem.

>>2023986
Unless I'm horribly mistaken, you can't even use the 360 dPad when it's hooked up to a computer.

>>2023972
...Oh god. Oh... Oh god.

Never. EVER. Use a 360 controller for fighting games. If you're going to use a console controller, use a PS2 one or buy one of those third-party computer controllers that looks like one. The 360 controller is almost obscenely picky about where the directions are, so trying to do a 214C (throwing keys) will net you a 14C (axe-kick).

Keyboard 4 lyfe bitches

>>2023988
I had a feeling it wasn't completely my skills just blowing ass when that shit happened. Now that you spell it out like that though, if there's a way I can get into practice mode with mcaster I could hook up my hotrod to it and get an actual arcade stick to work, I just know it would take me a while to relearn everything on a new controller.

>>2024008
Closest mbCaster has to practice mode is debug mode, though I'm not sure what that has to do with it.

>>2024016
good enough for me, I'll take what I can. So until I can get it, sticking with that shitty ass 360 controller...

Finally got it installed, anyone know how to get a PS3 controller to work?

it won't

>>2024371

Google got this:
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&message.id=1045745

>>2024371
No. I'm still using a PS1 controller. Not even at PS2 stage yet.

>>2024371

If it's not working at all, then maybe you should spend the 20 bucks on a controller made for the PC to begin with. I use a logitech one, it works perfectly fine and is designed exactly like a ps2/ps3 controller so its comfortable, it only costed i think 15-20 bucks at best buy.

>>2024380
Augh, lucky bastard. I got a 20$ logitech that's blue and looks like a curvier PS1 controller sans analog sticks.

I've just been using the keyboard since then, though. Not worth the effort.

>>2024383
>>2024378
>>2024371

No idea about PS3 controllers. Since I'm feeling kind tonight and I'm hoping that when I can finally do netplay with /jp/ again there will actually be worthwhile people:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-6m-49-en-15-joy+box+pro-70-qc2.html

Still no luck on getting my ps3 controller to work. Surely at least one of you isn't living on minimum wage and can afford a ps3?

>>2024453
you were bored? I can understand, for me after like 20 matches I just wanted to drop the controller from hopelessness. However I perservered... only to get my ass handed to me even more.

>>2024455
well daddy warbucks, if you can afford a ps3 im sure you can afford a gamepad

>>2024458
The lag killed my combos.
Well in the end, you spammed alot less.
Though you need more overhead attacks.

Standing on the ground, crouching just leaves you wide open for a charged j.c
Either Stand up and guard, move the hell out of there, shield or dogfight.

>>2024469
I've never been much of an aerial combatant, I just don't like how the jumps and jump dashes are structured, I don't have enough hang time to react and direct myself without completely missing my target. So I figure stick to the ground, yeah it won't always work, but until I get the hang of moving around in the air I'm gonna stick with it so as to not completely fuck myself.

>>2024477
In that case get used to using anti-air moves, and shield + counters, if you wanna avoid being hit or touched.

>>2024489
also as noted from earlier, my shitty ass controller failed me regularly. However yeah I will probably be using more anti-air moves, as well as eventually getting a better controller.

what is this?

>>2024497
A thread. Is this your first time on 4chOn?

haha, sorry about that. I always feel like I don't deserve the hit when I use those moves without comboing into them. If i were a "good" nanaya player I wouldn't even bother using the high version of that move because you can't combo into it. Once you get used to the fact that high moves take a split second longer to come out, you'll stop falling for it, and I'll be forced to stop being a scrubby Nanaya.

Try a few other games that are compatible with your gamepad; if they're all fucked like that, unplug it, clean out the plug and receptor, and try again.

Doesn't matter too much, by sunday I'll have a better controller.

whoa.
i noticed that whan i wasn't using low attacks (other characters) i losed a lot, but when i used kohaku (LOW ATTACKS FTFW)...

Now i think about it... you never used low guard
So... you're not half bad, yay!

>>2026751
wow, so it took probably 400 fucking matches for me to figure such a simple problem out. Oh well, this means I'll be doing better soon so I'm good with it. and yeah I did notice that too, that I consistantly lost to kohaku who was using low attacks all the time, and everyone else was a pretty fair fight.

>>2026763
...Great. One more person to completely fuck over my Nero. As if I don't get enough of that already.

>>2026773
you're talking to the wrong guy
learn to use your summons and spam 4c less

warc's bnb does 4k+ on v.akiha...
DPs do 3k+ on v.akiha...
sion's midscreen bnb does 6.5k+ on v.akiha
etc etc... ;_;

>>2026777
No, I'm really not talking to the wrong guy. I've played against 'that guy who sucks', and he's just discovered and probably broken his main weakness, which means yet another person to screw me over. You say I shouldn't spam 4c, but I only used it either at the end of a blockstring, when it was a hitting combo, or when random frame-dropping cut out the 21 of my 214C.

>>2026773
what's better winning against someone who can't guard and pull off supers, or winning against someone who's fighting on equal terms. Plus I'm not going to stop playing with this shitty 360 controller until sunday (so anyone can whoop my ass until then).

>>2026798
And then I'll go back to being the board's whipping boy. Is that supposed to make me feel better?


On a related note, does anybody know if Nero has any comboable overheads? I'm about 90% sure he doesn't but since I'm apparently the worst player here it wouldn't surprise me to be wrong.

>>2026794
well as long as you're not deafdefiler...carry on

>>2026807
what do you mean go back to? technically because of that bullshit I was the boards whipping boy, even to you. Plus you'll get better as you face more people. I got better partly due to advice and simply watching how my opponent (or if I was spectating both of them) played, pulled off combos, used grabs, jumped, and maneuvered around the screen and took what I thought would work in some places and applied it (I'll still never get the hang of jumping around and aerial combat). I also listened to the advice that people would give every now and then.

>>2026818
So I spammed 4c? I don't remember using it anywhere except at the end of a blockstring or during jump-ins (a couple of bad habits I picked up while playing against the computer).

>>2026820
Sorry, sorry. Probably overreacting (again, despite trying to cut down on that), but before I played you, I really was the whipping boy. And your problems were mainly due to something you've now figured out and your crappy controller, so where does that leave me?

>>2026832
to do what I've been doing, finding your weaknesses and working to fix them. Like I said I went 400 matches before figuring it out, it just takes time. Plus I can safely say that I have less than 15 victories to my name, and most of them were pity deaths, playing a terrible character, or just plain dumb luck.

>>2026827
using it at the end of "blockstrings" when they got you punished 80% of the time is probably a bad idea

>>2026839
If you played me, do you think you could help me find my weaknesses? I already know less 4c and more animals, and hopefully will integrate that into my next play.

>>2026845
Yeah, I noticed... The computer isn't so great at punishing, so I thought it was blockstun, and kept using it to try to get some distance. I should've figured it out sooner, though...
And yes, my 'blockstrings' are much too short, and very, very crappy. Any recommendations on lengthening them or making them useful? I used to chuck out an EX-Deer or snake at the end, but then the computer fooled me.

GGs, I can't play like this anymore, I need a new pad.

>>2026679
Good games. Damn I really missed playing other humans. Completely different from the CPUs.

I use the keyboard. Always have.

>>2026861
I don't know, I don't play nero. Read this and watch some match vids of Nero players.

I take it won't have any tips about successfully completing a 'crossup j.C airdash', then? I can manage everything up to actually switching which side of the opponent I'm on in midair.

>>2026852
I could try, but I don't know much about the games mechanics to give specific advice, but yeah that 4c leaves you open enough for a counterattack from most players, so I'd say only use it to launch your opponent after you've got them in a chain. It's like a useful skip to aircombo, you just have to use it sparingly, when you do that you can pull it out randomly in a match and really mess someone up. If I noticed anything about nero it's that he has great reach, so it should be possible to hit them as they're coming in to attack. Now that I think about it the 4c makes a great anti-air, so I'd use it for those instances. Stay on the ground, let the opponent airdash towards you and start to make their attack, you use the 4c, depending on where he is and who it is it'll either clash and could end up bad for you or hit them and launch them into a combo. Most of nero's attacks are so far from his actual body that you can exploit that, I don't know much about him but nero seems like the kind of character that has people charge at him, not him charging at them. This is just me ranting here, but if you gleam anything from this then cool.

>>2026869
Well, I don't, and I need a new pad.

>>2026861
Ending a string with 4c is generally safe, unless playing Shiki (and maybe some other characters, I'm not sure). Just... block.

Also doing an ex deer during a string is like telling your opponent to take your hp, since it has an ex-flash and leaves you extremely vulnerable until the first hit.

421a is a safer summon, as are 214a/b, maybe after a 5bx1. Don't forget that 5b and 2c are air unblockable, as is the first hit of the 4c, in case your opponent likes to jump out. You can generally cancel anything into a 236c, it's even safe against Ciel, and continue zooing from there. Maybe throw a 2a first in case they dash at you, of a 5b if they jump.

>>2026890
That actually helps quite a bit, thanks.

If you want to play, it's the same as before; option seven, mizuumi.net.

>>2026893
>Ending a string with 4c is generally safe
Unless they're crouching, which means they recover from the blockstun significantly before I recover from the second strike that doesn't connect and retraction. I'll work on the animals, though. Thanks.

Cancel that, turns out I've got class in a little less than half an hour. Some other time, hopefully?

Soo... who wants to play against a shitty kohaku? =3
beware of the ping, tho.
