A few videos ago I started messing around with this game again and found out for the first time that if Area hits the opponent with the first attack of Five Star Raid, but then whiffs the follow up, she gets a custom animation where she loses her balance and falls back on her ass. You probably know all about that already, but I'd never seen it before. That crossup loop was crazy btw. Do high level players actually use that in matches? I haven't seen many people play Area.
I recently saw footage of an EX2 tournament at Mikado. I think it was featured on SRK too, only about a half hour to 40 minutes long. A player set up the infinite from Excel. (I know that's not the point of these videos, but it is another setup.)
I was thinking of excel, yes. Not the point of these videos, but good enough for me, since it sounds like another way to complete Rosso's maniac trial for those who can't do excel combos for shit, like me ^_^
I can't do them either and these videos have had me trying to beat Maniac without Excel too. If it wasn't for the fact that you don't get first attack bonuses in that mode, I would have been able to beat Darun's, but alas. Seeing Rosso's infinite for the first time made me wanna try and learn it, but it's very high execution. At least, it seems like that for me, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Good luck anyway.
