One quick question about Akira

All this reaction and commentary has had quite the positive effect. I am very flattered.

I now plan to make things worse.

Realize that 3P+K and shoulder go through P, 2P, and 6P when I'm at disadvantage and in closed stance. My next goal is to watch stance in more situations.

The "Things to Fear" list grows...

1). KNEE
2). SPoD
3). 3P+K
4). Shoulder
5). Closed Stance
6). ... (Guess we'll see )

 

Myke, I can't tell but I think it's in the middle of a failed ETEG.
Probably I need to force myself to be faster on that.

 

Yeah I was about to say what Myke said. There are many degrees of lag, wich means all kinds of things go wrong. Whats really happening is that guard is getting lost, not registering or something else at the end of ETEG. Thats not a bad connection at all really. I would sometime evade neutral in that case.

 

3P+K is definitely a great move and one of talis's favorites, I eat it all the time offline.
However imo I've been successful using jumping attacks on reaction to beat it like Sarah 8K+G and 9K+G. It depends on your character I guess and also some yomi. I remember an exercise in VF4 EVO where you could practice evading/blocking it on reaction.


PS: Talis #5 should be stupid half circular beatmoves.
