01:05 That's 3A which is way slower than bA so got stuffed. 10:39 You were just late. What really caught my eye was 19:54 where she literally ducks your mid for no reason lol. Not even with a move, just regular duck. Now that's Raph things
Appreciate the clarifications! You're right, I checked 3A in practice mode and it has a different voice line to bA. Raph's 33B gets ducked a lot tbh, it even looks like a high so I'm not surprised. I was more surprised at 1K getting stepped in both directions as well as how badly 1A was failing to Left step. I needed more 2A as it tracks Left step better than his 2K.
GGs! 01:05 Looks like Raph's 4A started later than Mina's bA but hit first. 03:04 Low slash from Prep I whiffs against stand guard. 04:44 Predict the step into 4KB ringout setup, so lots of 1K to beat step. FC 2B interrupts the 4KB for the round. 06:19 Not this time with the 44B! 10:39 Attempt to punish the 44B with 66B but get stepped for the round even though 44B is minimum -15 up close and -18 far range.. 15:24 Nice trade xD 18:12 Raph things, the 1A gets stepped. 18:50 More Raph things. Second hit of 66AA whiffs. 19:22 Get stepped and hit by the exact setup I was trying to beat because Raph's 1A didn't beat the Left step. Same setup avoided last round. 19:52 No ringout from 1K, Mina teleports back onto the stage! 20:33 Raph's Auto GI from Prep I parries Mina's bA. 21:09 Raph things. Predict the sidewalk into 4BK, try to stop it with 1K but get stepped. 22:08 Mina's 22B gets spiked by Raph's 236B again. 22:52 Try to interrupt the obvious 4KB but get CH. Deja vu at 23:06 xD 26:30 Misinput, drop the whiff punish. 26:59 No punish on Mina's 1KK. Maybe delayed the input. 29:03 EdgeLord (TM) tactics for Unending Stings to end the set.
What was the ping, or distance? Guessing it's rollback. I want to play sc2 (maybe 3) again! Used to play in Chicago with their world class players like Thuggish Pond
It's delay based but we're under 30ms to each other so it's pretty good. We're EU but there are some good players on the EC including some people who played back in the day. Killtown, Vicioussuicide and a few others. There's a discord to find matches: discord.gg/Bwxd42t8FH
GGs! 00:46 First move of the set is PT.. I won't judge, Stone Fist is almost as good! 02:01 Spike the 8B off the ground with Avoiding the Puddle. 02:52 Misinput Fubuki Knee into Trooper Roll, do Evade instead. Several times this set. 03:51 Somehow jumped the 1A, but no punish! 03:57 How Fubuki Knee into Trooper Roll is supposed to work. 04:21 Anti-jump tech! Avoiding the Puddle catches the air control for the spike. 06:33 Guessed the 1A and attempted a Fubuki Knee over it. Axis issue makes it whiff, 66B+K would have worked. 06:49 Ought to be illegal for such a chunky character to evade 2A while doing a Tech Crouch lag low! 07:39 Misinput 66B+K and whiff into Asta's WR A. 08:06 Step into Fubuki Knee, get a standing K cancel. 08:35 High Crush the WS A with Trooper Roll, but misinput the second Trooper Roll. 10:07 High Crush the 1A into WS A setup with Trooper Roll again.
The timestamps are more about good reads/counterplays, anything odd/unexpected and mostly my misinputs, rather than getting perfects. But feel free to add your own timestamps any time, it's all good.
GGs! Still stuttering on the load-in screens and some delay on moves, especially noticable after heavy blockstun. 02:12 Misinput 66B+K as Door Knocker (6B+K). Would have gone over the low. 03:29 Again.. Misinput 66B+K as 6B+K, would have gone over the low. 03:34 Third time.. Misinput 66B+K as 6B+K, would have gone over the low. 05:48 Failed attempt to run up and Flash! 06:28 Unexpected ringout. 12:40 Misinput Stomp (9B+K) as Door Knocker (6B+K) and give away the game. 17:20 Fubuki Knee into triple Trooper Roll for the final round Perfect!
GGs! 01:02 Get a B crush but no damage. 01:27 Saw the 2A coming and 236A+B over it. 03:46 Raph's 236A whiffs for no apparent reason. 07:57 Another B crush but no damage, however the CH grants big frame advantage allowing 3B to hit. 08:30 Raph things in this round with the stance spacing and Auto GI. 09:31 The passive spacing activates Raph's ADHD. 12:01 Wonder how this 2K whiffed. 12:28 Too obvious - 33B reverse ring out bait. 13:29 Get clipped by the big range on Sophitia's 66B. Another reason Raph has to space for his life and trim his move selection in this match-up. 27:02 Dropped input on 3B. 31:05 Misinput 22K instead of 2K and get interrupted. 33:10 Take a couple of rounds off to test FC and stance stuff. 35:22 Raph's 2K whiffs for no apparent reason. 41:15 Try to punish the whiffed 66A with 236B but get robbed by the Auto Attack that activates but whiffs! 45:24 Go for an Auto Evade but get robbed by yet another Sophitia tech crouch move.
You're right about the 6B but wrong about the luck! 2A was the hard read but I guessed a tech crouch move was likely in general, because, well it's Sophitia. Vaulting jump attacks like 236A+B will go over them, as well as beat throw attempts.
I had the download earlier tbh, but couldn't figure out good answers in the last set. If you watch this set you'll see I try several different things to counter PT. Also mixed up up some timings in my attack to get some GI whiffs. It was still 5 - 4 and the runback was also competitive.
GGs! 00:47 Dropped input on Trooper Roll after the Fubuki Knee connected. Input 44B+K , get 4B+K, missing a guaranteed hit. 05:06 Try step into 66B for Oki but get hit by 8B for the nth time! 13:11 Dropped input on Trooper Roll after the Fubuki Knee connected. Input 44B+K , get 4B+K instead. 17:03 Run up and Flash, a Yoshi classic!
Gotta respect the PT! I tried a few things there and none of them worked. Trooper Roll was the dumbest one from neutral, but 8K wasn't a bad idea from grounded. Stomp needs a bit of timing, but the 236B unblockable makes Astaroth cry, just need to do it a little later than you'd think.
GGs! Unfortunately pretty laggy and a lot of dropped inputs in this set. Stutter at most loadouts: 05:00, 06:51, 08:30, 15:20 and 16:50 05:51 Best time to misinput Pogo Rush! 09:10 Misinput and get Meditation, wanted 3B+K for the CH. 09:24 Misinput Rainbow Drop. 16:28 Guessing a dropped input on step forward as Yoshi twitches out of range and moves in after WR A whiffs. Wanted 66B+K but got a step forward followed by Door Knocker, so 6~5~6B+K instead off 66B+K.
GGs! 01:57 Looks like a legit whiff when slowed down. 02:41 Should have stepped back I guess! 04:29 Wanted 7K but 4K worked. 05:52 The damage on this move! 06:11 Tried to interrupt, thought it was 236AA. 09:00 Saw the ring out grab coming! 09:29 Pogo Rush round ender!. Went with the 22K Pogo transition for speed and less telegraphing. 11:19 Trying a 66A+B cancel into 1B+K. Mess it up for the jank Low and eat the Unblockable. 13:30 Want 1A but get 11A at a bad time for it! 13:57 Big damage for one hit! 14:39 Seems LizardMan's Low sweep has some lateral evasion. Otherwise this is a terrible whiff!
GGs! 03:06 Stepped 66A then misinput Rainbow Drop twice.. 03:14 Misinput FC3K. 07:37 Nice jump over 2A, followed by me missing a punish on 66A. 10:13 Hit BB and go for 1A to control backdash/pokes, get 4A instead, second time in the set. 11:08 See the WL A but press FC3K too soon! 12:27 Trooper Roll cancel to control excessive backdash gets interrupted. Switch to letting it rip more. 16:23 Avoiding the Puddle! 16:55 Missed the punish on the Stab. 17:09 Sophitia spacing traps. 66B into 44B beats out Yoshi's 4K. 18:13 Less than 10 hp away from #3 on the ladder xD 19:04 One more BB and it's over.. 21:18 My work here is done!
GGs! 02:42 Rare Zelgius ring out! This one made me chuckle. 02:55 The connection turns extra crispy, but the jump out wasn't necessary! 05:30 Stepped Assassin's 3A to the right. 10:03 Rare 214[B] Auto GI, connects on Kilik's throw attempt.
GGs! 01:14 Run up A+K seemed like a good idea at the time.. 02:00 Nice GI against the Auto Evade attack. 02:49 Dropped input after the Unending Stings grab, 236B doesn't register on the first attempt. 03:17 Tech Jump the 2A with 236A! 04:02 Bad choice against Taki Possession Unblockable, it Tech Crouches under Raph's 44A. Different story if it was cancelled into more strings. 04:12 The Yoshi 2A whiffs up close. 04:44 Voldo things. Just whiff into Mantis Crawl.. 06:21 Raph's 236B spikes this move, identifying a tech jump in Yunsung 11B xD 06:47 Retreat step evades Asta's 66[A]B by a pixel! 09:03 Crazy hitbox on Maxi 33B. Probably wrong direction to step it, but Raph was actually behind him. 09:51 Nice re-tracking on Raph's 11BA! Maybe not a useless string. 10:53 Actually ate the second hit of kB2 because I whiff punished it too fast xD 11:41 Litle Tech Jump in the middle of Kilik 22B makes it just a bit safer. Raph gets robbed of his Auto Evade attack. 11:47 Raph's 236B goes right under Kilik 66A! 16:21 Don't think I noticed it was Xianghu until the Crybaby xD 17:24 Raph scores a WL A but the 6B followup is beaten by Cassandra BB. Both i13 and don't recall delaying the 6B. 18:53 Forgot 1A recovers in crouch so the 3B followup becomes FC3B which is utterly stuffed by the evasion of Cass B+K. 22:56 Tried to mash out a couple of 2Ks, then B+K but got another 2K... 28:14 Managed to block the Taki WL A. A win in itself xD
GGs! Had a lot of throw attempts that just didn't register. Probably rushing the execution, but unusual to have so many. Noted them below. 00:37 One second in and it's Voldo 3A+B time! 01:43 Raph's throw whiffs despite appearing to be in range. 02:51 Whiff a 6BB into a throw from BT. Connects just before Voldo's. 02:58 Raph's A+B beats the 3A CH into 3A. The Low followup whiffs on CH due to Raph Things. Have to spot the CH and do 6BB. 03:45 The 236B connects on Voldo's Mantis Crawl. Thought it might go over him. 04:28 Step the post throw break 3A+B and whiff punish it with the Auto Attack from 236! 09:16 Auto Attack from 236 activates against BS 4A. 10:24 The 236 Auto Attack shenanigans continue! Activates against a whiffed Low, Voldo's 2A+B. 14:28 Bad trade - Raph's 2K vs Voldo's 3B. 14:39 Good trade - Raph's 1K vs Voldo's 1A+K! 15:48 An actual 236B punish on a whiffed 3A+B! 18:00 Raph whiffs 66B but evades Voldo's 66K with Preparation III Side Movement. The dropped inputs/misinputs: 01:22 Misinput 236B, get a standing B. 03:36 Dropped throw input after Voldo whiffs 3A+B, and another one at 03:40 after the whiffed GI! 04:14 Dropped throw input. 07:11 Dropped throw input after stepping 3A+B. 07:34 Dropped 3B input. 07:42 Duck the charged 3A+B and get a 4G! Probably wanted a throw. 08:33 Dropped throw input. 09:03 Dropped throw input after blocking 3A+B. Second attempt registers. 11:29 Dropped throw input against a 6G whiff.
GGs! 01:14 Looks like instant recovery due to ending in BT. One more reason this is a stupid move. 02:26 Speaking of stupid moves, Mantis Crawl is peak Voldo BS. And by BS I'm not referring to his "stance". 02:48 Baiting a 3A+B self ringout. Close! 03:05 Voldo's 3A+B being dumb again.. 03:33 Lining up the Unending Stings ring out! 04:50 Lining up the Unending Stings ring out again! That's gotta Sting.. heh.. 07:50 Remembered to interrupt the stance transition with 3K, probably the better option for it. 08:18 Misinput 3B instead of 236B for the whiff punish. 09:38 Nice step into 236B whiff punish.. except Voldo's hurtbox decided to disappear. 09:59 More 3A+B tomfoolery. Totally avoided the dive, but the hitbox seems to expand when Voldo outstretches his arms. 10:37 It's 3A+B again.. can't whiff punish it with 236B. TBF, it was from 8WR. 11:20 Evade the 3A+B with a Left Step up close and get a back throw. Not guaranteed against Voldo though.. 17:01 Nice round for Raph! Step the 3A+B, Advance Step to close in and a small step to line up the Unending Stings ring out! 17:47 Another 3A+B moment. Does about 70 on back dash CH!
GGs! 01:58 The Retreat Step K works out, whiff punishes LizardMan's 44K. 02:40 Misinput the 236A+B followup as 236B! 03:41 Good throw break! Tried to line up the Unending Stings throw for a ringout after the Guard Crush. 04:23 LizardMan whiffs. Seems off axis but for reasons unknown! 04:47 The whiffing continues. Hard to say if this one is due to a Super Tech Crouch or off-axis. 07:41 Misinput 66K as K cancel after the 22A. Correctly read a jump and wanted the 66K spike. 12:50 Nice GI! 15:13 Big throw reversal! Stepped Cassandra's throw for the Unending Stings ringout throw. Awkward angle but still worked! 19:21 Advance Step Tech Crouches Cassandra's 66B which is Mid, but the Auto Attack whiffs. 21:36 Whiff punish Cassandra's 236B with Advance Step Auto Attack - no buttons needed! 25:00 Stepped Voldo's throw from CR stance to get behind him. No Back Throw attempt because he seems to recover in Crouch.
GGs! 01:04 Good thing I pulled off the Stomp SCC or the throw would have been interrupted by 22B. 01:44 Step in for close range 1A, get 11A instead. Interrupted. 02:50 Misinput - Stomp into 1B+K, get Pogo instead. 03:52 X Things - Whiffs the K in 3AK (Force Whiff) but still manages to evade Yoshi's FC 2B and connect 22B. 04:14 Misinput - The 1A series into RCC 1A becomes 11A. Unexpected as RCC was executed with an upward step. 05:01 More X Things. Blocked her BB and smelled the evasive move coming. Try one of Yoshi's best Mid Horis, 44A, but X's 1B+K makes it whiff! 05:55 Cancelling to check the health bar is at 100%. Thought I changed it. 06:27 More X Things. Blocked her BB and try 6A to beat the 1B+K but it High Crushes too. Visibly so, but worth a try to confirm timing. 09:02 Almost had it but get knowledge checked with a string. 09:57 Misinput - Run up Flash becomes Seppuku, otherwise 88B would have been interrupted or Auto-GI'd. 10:14 Finally an answer to BB > 1B+K. Yoshi's 2K interrupts it. Jackpot! (/s)
GGs! 01:21 Nice block punish on FC3K. Bad choice to use it here given the health bars. 02:25 Not a great plan! (But a great thumbnail). 03:38 Nice Auto-GI. 05:14 Nicely choreographed Trooper Roll into Ivy's FC1B! 07:34 Run up Flash almost becomes a Seppuku.. Ivy's 4A talks Yoshi out of it! 08:46 Stepped 1A Left and Fubuki Knee the second hit for the ring out. 10:06 Stepped Left for a Fubuki Knee over the Low hit in 8A+B. 10:57 The tracking on this Pogo Rush was insane.
GGs! 02:24 Didn't see that one coming, nice command grab. 03:15 Tech crouch at the end of 214A. 03:59 Retreat Step cause the 1A to whiff by a pixel. 04:44 1A gets stepped. Maybe 11A or 4A would have been better here. 05:35 Auto Attack from Advance Step activates very late against 6B8. 09:41 Raph's 4K hilariously goes under Ivy's BB despite it being a standard Mid Mid string. Pretty reliably too. 11:07 Nice Auto-GI. Raph's 3K hops over the 4A+B into CS setup. 11:12 Raph's 44A evades the 4A+B Guard Crush setup and scores a CH. 12:22 Step into 236B beats 6[B]8 if the 6[B] whiffed. 13:57 Advance Step High Crushes Berserker's A, interrupting the B followup with Venom Toe Kick. 15:11 Auto Evading Bull Rush. Looks so perfect. 15:31 Auto Evade the Bull Rush again, pause for the Unending Stings grab. 15:56 Retreat Step A makes Berserker's 1K whiff by a pixel. 16:01 Can't interrupt Bull Rush with 6B due to the High Crush. 19:03 Almost looks like Raph teleported into the grab! 20:00 Nice sequence, Raph things. 21:19 WR A+B into Prep III A makes Berserker's 3K whiff. 21:30 66[B] into Prep III SideStep evades Berserker's 44B. 21:37 Raph's A+K Auto Evade beats low throws, but not regular throws. Nice to have! 29:26 Can't tell if the 6B whiffed due to rang or if Raph's A+B evaded it somehow.
GGs! Couple of notes about Xianghua Things (TM). Not Salt, but rather noting some of her strengths that are overshadowed by 22B/3A etc. 01:36 Misinput Stomp, get Meditation. Probably would have connected for the round. 02:54 X Things. Easy, fast (i17) mid range whiff punish from 8WR. Just hit A+B, no need to wait for neutral or change direction! 04:50 Misinput 11A, wanted step forward into 1A which would beat the 8K. 08:24 The damage on this tech crouching advancing tracking safe mixup pressure tool! 09:02 Hit 6b9 into Trooper Roll but misinput, get Evade instead. 09:54 Thought 6BA ended with a High, tried to interrupt with 2A several times! 10:55 More X things. Wake up Fubuki Knee whiffs over the 2A+B Low.
GGs! 01:23 Yoshi can punish with WS K into 6K here for more damage. Sophitia punishes Yoshi's 3A,B a few seconds later. 01:55 Nice block punish on Yoshi's FC3K. 02:07 Yoshi escapes Sophitia's Stab by a pixel! 02:21 Meditation (B+K) after 1A.. probably tried FC3K and unintentionally hit the B. 02:29 Scramble situation so of course, I hit a 9A for some reason.. 03:24 Could have ended the round had I used the optimal 1B follow-up to 66A+B! 06:00 WR B into 2K gets interrupted by 2A. Frame data says no, unless the 2K was delayed by a couple of frames. 08:00 Misinput the 1B+K after Stomp. The next misinput makes up for it by going over the 2A! 09:47 Ouch! Looks like you guessed a Rainbow Drop and tried to crush it, but I was in Fubuki Knee mode! 15:02 Try BB against Sophitia's 11A into backstep 44B but get interrupted before the second hit.
GGs! 03:14 Score a CH FC 3(A)A. Try 236A+B as a followup but it's read as FC3B due to being in FC. Forgot to RCC! 06:49 Land a CH 44A into 3B launch, misinput the A+B followup as A+B+K! 09:03 Playing Raph like a jackass with 6B spam into A+K Auto Evade spam lol. Expected a ringout attempt with 3A+B (Mid) or sweep (Low), not the 8A (High)! 09:21 Waste the CH 44A into 3B launch with 3A+B followup. Probably tried 236A+B and misinput. 11:28 Ah, 3A+B, I've been expecting you.. just not at this precise moment! 13:14 The hopeful pause, that Berserker will 66[K] off the edge! Unending Stings does the job anyway! 18:22 Whiff SC LVL 3 236A+B into Berserker's Unblockable! 19:19 Nice hitbox for the 236A[B] Guard Crush! 20:17 Count those whiffed throws! 26:09 Nice 3A+B ringout! Expected it, but mashed an extra 3B after getting blocked.
GGs! Noticed some input lag in this set, occasionally. A few instances seemed to be at the worst possible time! 04:26 Spam AE into a nice sequence capped off with an anti-air 236B ringout. 05:08 Thought I'd established Raph wins 3A+B spam in this scenario, in a previous set. Eat a 3A+B for the assumption! 05:30 Expect 3A+B, run up and B+K Auto Evade. For some reason the Auto Evade doesn't activate and Voldo's 3A+B connects.. 05:51 Dodge this! 06:39 Expecting Voldo's 3A+B on wakeup after the grab, input 3A+B for Raph to beat it, but it gets delayed! 07:13 Try 2K into step and throw to beat the expected 6G, but it whiffs! Voldo pushed back by 2K, but the step was also smaller than usual. Stick deflection, maybe. 09:51 Know the 3A+B is coming, 8WR it but still get hit. Gotta guard immediately rather than try to whiff punish. Not fond of these kind of moves. 12:13 Nice CH bonus from WR A+B, but forgot to not hold it for the Prep III transition. Always better to use regular 236B to avoid off axis whiffs! 12:58 Round start 66B beating 3A+B as it normally should! 16:15 One hit KO range, standoff begins. Ends with a nice Auto Attack from Advance Step. 16:41 Nice Auto Evade attack on wakeup. The B followup lands on Voldo in the air for the spike. 22:21 Multiple throws ducked into eventual Unending Stings ring out! 22:55 The wakeup Auto Evade of Raph's life! Wipes out 50% and reverses the round! 23:37 What a whiff.. game changing axis shenanigans! 24:04 Try a 66B on the expected 3A+B at round start. Guess correctly but lag delays the 66B.. 25:14 Literally angling for a ringout against the expected Guard Impact, but stepping expends the advantage.
