- Edition

>What is /fig/?
/fig/ is a thread for viewers to find, share, and discuss idol vtubers who play fighting games, either from large companies, small ones, or indies, as well as to discuss fighting games about Hololive and other vtubers in general.

>So is this thread about fighting games or Idol showdown?
Neither: this is a thread about idols and fighting games.

>But what is an idol?
An idol is something unobtainable and moe that makes your kokoro go doki doki (WIP)

Probably fine
Ayame: Just wants to mash buttons and do cool combos, they probably don't even know the definition of safe and unsafe.
Korone/Fubuki: Normal players for the most part, Fubuki's a bit scummier.
Sora: Probably spends most of their time jerking off in training mode considering how I see their combos more than I see them in matches.

Evil
Suisei: A hivemind that doesn't want you to have fun. Want proof? They do the exact same combos, the exact same blockstrings, and they will do everything in their power to make sure you don't play the game. If they don't play the same as every other Suisei, then they're probably just new.
Aki: Sadistic, wants to watch you squirm as she teleports everywhere and breaks your combos and blockstrings with Muki.
Botan: The kind of person that wants the easy way out. They want damage, they want zoning, they want mixups, and they want to win no matter the cost.

Insane
Coco: Let's be honest, if you main this character, something is wrong with you. That's the only explanation there is for playing a character this risky.

so I know I'm like 2 weeks behind, but what's the best way to get out of a Botan combo that's being blocked, since she's wide open after most attacks. I've been cancelling into Lioness Leap + H when I see my combo being blocked, which works well against AI but I haven't had a chance to try it against humans yet. also general advice for dealing with Fubuki.

There's a second bar, on top of the star bar. When that one is complete, you can then call the assist. You fill this bar by using special motions and with time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49580865
For off collabs, you need a full Super Chat bar. Summon them with L+H

For the regular assist, it requires 2 bars of regular meter and you do 214S or Quarter Circle Back and S.

>>49581552
Korone, Fubuki, Ayame. It just feels harder to keep up momentum, harder to get out of pressure, and their pokes are generally worse. It doesn't help that all three have godawful sweeps.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49581845
>Harder to get out of pressure
Those 3 have invincible metered reversals, something not every member has. What are you even talking about.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49581845
Korone has a near infinite blockstring in the corner where the opponent can only get out with burst. Amelia assist makes her also avoid DPs. 5M 236M is a loop where when done right and followed by a micro dash, the opponent is unable to press a button or jump. Since Korone's combos have such corner carry, the moment she hits you once, it's over - she will time scam you and time you out.

Fubuki has instant overhead and good mix ups, she's a good rushdown with many ways to open you up.

Ayame has really good buttons, high as fuck damage, the best DP and even if she doesn't have mix ups to open you up like Fubuki she has an absurdly good stagger pressure which not even the final rekka is unsafe since she can use superchat to cancel it into something else.

Coco's only reversal is a 2 metered grab, the other three have a 1 bar reversal that is more than a grab.

>>49581965
Invincible DPs are nice, but sometimes you get locked in place at a longer range and it's hard as fuck to get out because if you DP, you'll just whiff and get punished, and you don't have a button to outpoke them. Korone and Fubuki suffer more in that category since their DPs have small hitboxes. The frame 4 command grab lets you get out of certain strings and moves a bit faster than frame 5 options, although it's risky. There's also stuff like sweep for longer range stuff, maybe 5M or the projectile invincible cartwheel if you can catch them.

To be fair part of it is me projecting my frustration but I don't know how the fuck to neutral with them. I played against a Suisei and it's like I can't open them up. I get outpoked by gunshots, the DP doesn't help me get out of pressure, projectile stuff isn't helpful enough to keep her out either. It feels very jarring to be able to win off a single knockdown giant sweep into death oki, then swap to these characters.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49577824
That's general for me as well but I would move marine down one and Risu up one. Risu doesn't deserve to be in the same tier as that gentle assist+collab of iroha. I do not fully understand what Marine collab does but her assist isn't that good. Imo, mio is better than marine, at least for assist, but still can't be S tier because robocco just does everything she does but better

[Anonymous No.]

>>49582623
>sometimes you get locked in place at a longer range
Do you have any fucking idea the range of Korone's 5M? Did you even read >>49582046 ?
You complain about range for DP, as if Coco has any option compared to the other three who actually do.

Seriously, it just sounds that you have no idea what you're doing (and your opponent as well) but you're getting by the sheer luck that grapplers can have at times.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49582813
I read it and I get it, like I said part of it is just projecting. But Korone 5M at best trades if you try to use it to poke out of longer range stuff. It's not a trade in your favor. Fubuki's pressure is good, but getting in is what's the problem considering how awkward her buttons are with stuff like max range 5M and 5H being hard to use for combos. And that's the best she's got, everyone else's buttons are better for general purpose neutral. Ayame's stagger is good, but every single character in this game has good stagger pressure. She's not unique in that area, that's what the game is pretty much about. I'd say the best thing about her is her DP, which is actually good. The other two DPs aren't very good, the hitbox can be low profiled pretty easily so they're a lot more prone to getting cheesed out compared to Ayame's.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49582729
Marine is basically a grab, she's extremely scary because she forces you to change your neutral gameplan. Besides that, there's the cannon that I sometimes see Aki use for teleport mixups. Risu, I kind of want to believe, but I have legitimately not seen anyone use her. It doesn't help that the truck feels a lot more inconsistent than other high damage combo tools.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49582729
Marine is an untechable grab that leads to full combo, really helpful in defensive situations because they either eat the assist and get comboed or jump which puts you in an advantageous position because they limit their options in the air. It also adds another layer to your L/R mix on oki because when you summon her on top of the enemy it's basically an instagrab to full combo forcing them to either block left, right, or jump which really dangerous. Ship is kinda meh but you can use it as a get off me tool in the corner which is somewhat useful, also can be just used as a projectile so that you can get in. It also allows for some high damage combos if you have the execution. Basically her grab is just ridiculously good and ship has some useful properties which carries her straight to chou kawaii tier.

>>49577824
Nah, Risu is pretty good.

Lol 5M> 236M loop isn't real. Many, if not all character can force a trade in a gap and pause the pressure. Characters with projectile invincibility move (that work, looking at coco's 5M lol, but her 2M can force trade anyway) can straight up punish it

[Anonymous No.]

>>49584023
Is the grab better than kanata's grab, which is an assist? I guess she does do the jump arc which is harder to dodge.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49585333
It's a lot better, more because Marine basically stalks you. Kanata's grab is more of a gimmick that forces people to jump once. You can combo into it too but it's really hard and not worth it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49585283
What about 5M 5H 236M loop?

[Anonymous No.]

>>49585283
Coco 5M actually does work for that specific projectile, but I think it kicks in too slow anyways.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49585333
Marine is much better and it isn't even close. Kanata's has some startup before she grabs while Marine can basically grab instantly if you call her during a crossup. Marine also lasts on the screen for so long which the opponent needs to be wary of because it's combo. You can basically force them to back off or jump which you can anti-air. Also really great when you are in the corner because she isn't visible there until she goes in for the grab which can easily interrupt their pressure and lead to a full combo. Marine's control over the neutral is just too good to not be up there. Mio is fine where she is because her assist isn't that good, some of her debuffs are neat, especially the increased chip and meter burn, but she doesn't control the neutral as well as Miko, Ame, Roboco, and Marine.

[Anonymous No.]

Do you think Iroha and Risu will get their uses with new playable characters?

[Anonymous No.]

>>49586972
Risu is just weird. She might actually be good, but no one can tell since her nuts are kind of awkward. Iroha, probably not. Her antiair thing is way too inconsistent, her sword slash is terrible for combos since it just throws your enemy far away, although at least the damage is good.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49573101
But what is the original comic
Also does someone has a a Mori Ai voice thingy to make these a sound post?

[Anonymous No.]

>>49585283
There's no trade at max range of Korone's 5M either. All you're doing is getting hit. DPs don't reach except Ayame's but Amelia's assist slow downs even the reversal.

[Anonymous No.]

Technically speaking, wouldnt new assists radically change the game with each patch? Characters are never bound to stay the same

[Anonymous No.]

>>49586972
Nah, iroha is just really shitty. Anti-air is so easy in this game that a collab that cover the air is pointless. Also, her assist is fucking shit awkward and always summon way too close to enemy and completely miss and doesn't allow combo even if if hit

[Anonymous No.]

>>49585631
>>49587520
Many normals will get a hit in between the gap of 5M and 236M if it reach. Sure, the projectile will hit you as well but you basically end the pressure loop with the trade.
I play suisei so I usually just use 2M, but I'm sure others have a normal that can do it as well.

Bumping like a whiffed DP

>>49588534
Well that would keep the game fresh forever at least.
One of the problems will always be skill gaps. Look at what happened with SF 3
In order for any game to remain fun for casuales, good players cannot be allowed to become too good. Smash (with ítems) is a good example

Besides the raid boss mode, something games should include is handicap mode: pros should be able to brag how good that are by purposely choosing to enter a fight with half hp or a third of hp

Chess masters often offer a tower as an advantage to their opponents. Why cant FGC players do the same?
There needs to be an option in game else they cannot brag. It will also give them a motivation not to smurf: your easy wins mean nothing unless you did those at 1%

[Anonymous No.]

You give a streamer 20 times the health bar, and make her do 10 times the damage and give her the ability to use items, and she has to take 10 viewers down in a row to win

This is perfect for vtubers who are mostly not good at fightan, and a chance for pros for the opportunity of glory by solo raiding their oshis

I legit can't tell when Ayame's combo ends because every slash attack looks the same, it makes it harder than usual to punish her.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49618622
They're just rare in the US. But if you do, there's a very high chance they know that one specific combo, and they're going to fish for sweep to get it and expect Muki to bail them out. Some will also teleport spam to catch you off guard.

>>49620481
Which combo is it?
I mostly just do the basic ~300 bnb and ~400 assist. I try to work on set up more than the combo now. Suisei needs meter for the set up either with EX note or assist so I don't feel like using a lot of meter for damage is worth it.

[Anonymous No.]

I was on the same boat, but Sui's grab game is way too good and Ame let's you get full 400+ combos from command grab, i just try to get the 236L -> 22S ->5M cancel to confirm 2M max range now

[Anonymous No.]

>>49621749
Eh? 236L >22S> 5M is possible?
I can't even get a 5L off the cancel after testing it for like half an hour. I don't think I can get sweaty enough to play like that because of how easy it is to misinput the 22S as 2S and die

Well as a tako I have a natural suggestion: The entry fee should be making any type of thread oc: ms paint, vocaroo, edits, traces, anything.
A minimal entry so the thread benefits from it too and then we can offer a prize:
The winner gets to choose the theme of the next tournament entry fee, such as "All Brazilians Ayame art" or anything of the sort.

Okay, based on what I've learned so far, here are the pros and cons of the Discord alternative:

Pros:
>Free to join with nicknames, no registration required (unless you want to be a tripfag)
>Full-fledged chat, including staffing system (mod and admin), etc
>Only owner, admins and mods can do video calls
>Video call has screen sharing, chat bar, and polls
>Mods can have multiple video calls
>You can still join video calls even if you have camera and mic permissions blocked (hostfags need to allow them though)
>Easy copy-paste invite link for both chat room and video calls (in video call, go to "..." > invite people)
>You can delete the chat room (owners only - go to room setting > INFO > scroll down a bit > delete)

Cons:
>Confusing interface
>Slideshow screen sharing (solution: go to "..." > settings > more > desktop sharing framerate > choose 30FPS > restart screen share)
>Even with 30FPS, it still lags, probably depending on your PC specs. Sadly, it caps at 30fps (solution: use OBS with built-in virtual camera instead)
>OBS capture screen is zoomed (solution: reduce the window size in OBS, then center it to screen)
>The website is coded by pajeets
>In their privacy policy, it can log/track your IP, ISP, browser, date/timestamp, clicks, etc.
>It uses cookies to store it in your PC for "easy access" (solution: delete cookies after tourney)
>If you log out or delete/block the cookies, you can't use the same nickname anymore (solution: just add a number or use other nicknames)
>Faggots might go full schizo retard and make it into discord (solution: only trust the most trusted hostfags with strong willpower who will delete the chat room after the tourney)
>It's probably P2P

[Anonymous No.]

>>49656223
I haven't fought that many sora to tell you
I simply force a lot of trade with 2M as usual to escape projectile pressure. Take up space and threaten sora so she can't trade note freely. If the sora just auto dialing note every pressure chain, you can also use 22H to punish it if you have the meter

Same, and to make matters worse is the fact that this board is filled with shitposters and tourists. But it shouldn't be that bad if we try it, right? Like >>49619576 said, a weekly or bi-weekly tourney will do just fine. If /fig/gers stay in the video call after defeats, the stream can be used to inspire them to improve themselves in fighting games with all those sick moves and combos, or shitty fighter who does shitty combos happens to be the underdog of the tourney. Basically, start small first.

>>49665239
You can check the pros and cons here >>49650273

>>49659246
I did a lot of research, including reviews from different sources. So far, all of the negative reviews have been about the site being unmoderated, racist, sexist, anti-LGBT, and full of horny pajeets and pedos. Those shits don't matter because it'll only be used for tourneys. But there's only 1 (one) review, it's about privacy. Apparently, they banned his IP for using VPN, saying they don't respect your privacy therefore it's not safe if you're a privacy freak. Also, the site claims they don't use P2P.

So with all that said, what do you think? Should I post the link now or wait for the tourney few days before it starts? I'm thinking of making a guide so hostfags could get the gist.

Idk how I did it easily
I just unga all of them with Suisei.
NPC can input read so "mix up" don't work on them like normal human. However, they are set to "allow" the players to hit them for free after wailing on their defense for so lonf so if you just keep on doing basic semi-safe/safe blockstring on them, you will just get hit in. So it just come down to confirming your hits into full damage combo. If you have a solid bnb with decent damage into a knock down, consistently meaty on wake up, and can hit confirm into those combos, you basically just run through the AI easily.

[Anonymous No.]

>>49695153
Speaking of that, someone discovered 100% combos with Coco. I wouldn't call them feasible since they take 6 bars. They're doable since you spend 4 bars near the start and then build the other two during the combo, but it seems rare to actually pull off.

Aki is pretty OP but she has a high floor so you don't see that many of them online I guess. I have played this game since release and have yet to play against a single one online. That's a bit better, even for the overall health of the game, than some basic low floor easy character being OP. They will have to nerf her some time down the line though when average player base skills level is high enough for more good Aki to exist and be a menace for online play.
