I was at 14k subscribers only five days ago...
Well, I won't avoid to celebrate this new milestone! ;)
Here's SSj2 Trunks (with bonus Saiyan Armor) against Dabura on DBZ Budokai 3 Collector's Edition, Dual TAS'd!
Enjoy.
**BEHIND THE SCENES**
MAKING OF: Producing this match wasn't easy, but I had this idea in my head from a while ago... In fact, if you recall, I've already made a B3 - Trunks vs Dabura match, using TASing Tools only on one of 'em, to get the feeling of how it is to play as them.
Ngl, this match is made in heaven for pro players, 'cause Trunks and Dabura are very alike as characters: both are High Tier, both have zoning moves, fast cancels, IFs on some moves, several stuns and juggles and a great movepool overall. Not to mention they're both swordsmen with very cool attacks!
To make things easier, I also used Cheat Engine. I needed it to do several things:
* Start with both character at max Ki, so I had less troubles charging it at the beginning.
* Lock their fatigue gauges. This makes TASing their Ultimates a lot easier, 'cause MAX frames are now the same for both.
* Break their capsules sets and give 'em several more capsules than I normally could.
Trunks had equipped "Breakthrough", "Meditation" and x5 "Angel's Halo"; while Dabura had the same but x4 "Angel's Halo" and 1 "Concentration".
Why did I give those to them? 'Cause I already knew I wanted to show off their wonderful combos while also making cool DragonRushes!
And since I already knew that trunks had a IGC from the back, I gave him one extra "Angel's Halo" to help his Hyper Mode last longer.
While all those "Angel's Halo" were used in order to make cool and long combos into DRs, "Meditation" and "Concentration" where used to get 1 Ki bar teleports and 30% Ki discount on everything else. Some set-ups wouldn't have been possible without them.
**CHARACTERS ANALYISIS**
* Trunks is a very balanced character, with a good movepool, 2 transformations and many good cancels. He has several infinites: "ppp→P", "k←K", "kk→k→k→P" [untested], & "→kkpP". These aren't too difficult, a new player might get the hang them quite quickly. He can also connect Ki Blasts mid-combo, specifically before and after transformations and before P. Too bad they're frame-perfect and therefore really hard to pull off.
But his real ace up his sleeve is his sword: with that, he can deal some huge backstuns and even create an Infinite Ground Combo. Those strings are "k→kpP" and "→pp→ppP", plus his "→p+kP" but only if you whiff the first "→p+k" (which happens to have terribly slow startup with 28 frames and juggles the opponent if it hits). Theorically, you can connect those from the front too, but the stun time is so small it's actually too hard, you're better off just teleporting behind and then flailing that beautiful sword.
* Dabura is a very fast and offensive character. He might lack some good way to guardbreak, beside his transformation, but he has all the other tools you might need: fast cancels, easy ones, several stuns, good juggles and even Ki Blasts mid-combo!
He can chain his Ki blasts with his transformation, P, →P and →K. They're very fast tho, so it's not easy. Dabura also has a neat infinite in "→p→ppp" that can end up with his "Evil Blast", dealing huge damages. Lastly, many of his moves work as stun from the back, like PPP, KKK, →p→pp and →→P, not to mention his wonderful →K+G.
Dabura really is a force to be reckoned with.
I believe I've made a good showcase of all the possibilities both characters have. For any other questions, feel free to ask. :)
PS: Fun facts. Firstly, I wanted to add a custom soundtrack to the battle, but I forgot to delete the music from the recording, so you'll have to bare with classic OST. Also, this TAS desync'd while I was working and I lost all my recording: I basically had to TAS this match twice! lol Ngl I believe this second time came out even better than the first one, but still... what a mess!
