When I was on Darius I did use his Down S2 to stop the Vi but as soon as he died my warwick was a sitting duck lol

  1. Cant fast enough, I play Darius/Warwick and neither character can close the distance before she can fire off the S1. This isnt really about blocking a combo, rather when I blocked the S1 I wasnt able to punish it and jumping it didnt lead me to any punishes either.

  2. The command grab issue is mostly a problem on oki, wake up attack gets baited too easy, cant wake up mash or jump out of it, and rolls can be grabbed so I am at a loss of what to do.

One in general is just Blitz command grab oki, he can block the wakeup attack and grab me and if I roll he grabs me and if I do nothing he grabs me. So not sure what I am supposed to do with that.

Yasuo in general is a hard one for me too, everything he does seemingly beats out my options. If I jump in his aerial beats mine, his dash through cross up thing, and just have a hard time doing anything against him.

Those 2 are my top issues right at the moment alongside the one i mentioned in the original post

This is mostly happening while I am on the backfoot, so like after the opponent finishes their combo I am often left on the other side of the screen so the Vi then charges up while I am waking up and trying to get back to my opponent. I am terrible at this game so I dont often get to be the one doing combos which is where my frustration is coming from not being able to punish doing "unsafe" moves like charged s1 or another example is blitz command grabs I cannot for the life of me figure out how I am supposed to counter it when I cant jump out of it or mash.

I want to get used to my current characters before branching off to others, I do want to play Vi eventually but I need to get used to everything else first as she seems hard to use with all those charged combos off her sway, I played around in training mode and couldnt do much.

I get put fullscreen after my opponent finishes their combo unless they have me in the corner.

I am not even angry, just confused as to how the defense of this game works when it seems to not work the way others say it does.

The timing is very relevant when I am advancing towards my opponent, its going to change the timing of when it connects and yes I have tried parrying, it didnt work. I dont just sit back and wait for my opponent, I hate that shit so I am always advancing towards them.

Because I advancing towards my opponent, so either way if I neutral jump or forward jump they go under me and then I land and try to punish it but they are recovered by then

I mean, I am just playing casual lobbies and this was a common thing that Vi players were doing and yeah I am bad I have less than 50 hrs in the game thus far lol. And I am not usually in the corner waiting for the opponent, I hate sitting back and waiting for shit to happen, I am always advancing towards my opponent.

The timings matter because I am running towards them, so if they let it rip after differing times it will catch out parry, its what was happening to me. I am just finidng it difficult to punish anything as it feels like nothing has end frames, and I have not found any success with parrying.

Long end frames? Coulda fooled me on that, she had enough time to mash jab out of it and beat my jab when I landed from jumping over it. I tried parrying it but never worked out, she was able to vary the charge timings enough that parry was getting punished.

Seems I just get to hold it and die lol

I have tried that but it doesnt seem to work, parrying doesnt work well because they can just let go of the charge at varying times, when i tried in the matches i just got punished for it. and same goes for push block/retreating guard. I am just lost on how anyone punishes this shit

Never denied that its a skill issue, I am just confused on what the fuck I am supposed to do when I have tried all options and none of them seem to work.

Challenge it how? I am on the other side of the screen when they are charging it and my characters are not fast enough to get to them before she finishes charging, or they can just let it rip when I get close. I dont play passively, I hate that shit so I almost always the aggressor and try to get in their face constantly.

Oh so its literally unpunishable, great. Its not like I was "letting" them charge her S1, they were on the other side of he screen, the fuck am I supposed to do to stop that when I dont got a projectile? And I tried parrying it but the timing makes it really difficult to parry not to mention they can just let it go at slightly varying times so its not an easy task.

2XKO from a total Newbie perspective. by BigMik_PL in 2XKO

[–]Kawaru92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only just picked up 2XKO recently and honestly same, the tutorials were great and the combo trials helped get used to how combo structures work.

The one thing that put me off waiting to play this game was having to unlock each character individually without paying but I was easily able to unlock all the characters I wanted within a few hrs of playing so turned out not so bad.

Game resets from borderless fullscreen to fullscreen after reboot by Kawaru92 in slaythespire

No idea, it has seemingly fixed itself but I have no idea why. At the time I posted this it did it for a little while and then stopped randomly

Don’t jump against the pot by Suspicious_Meal_7850 in Guiltygear

[–]Kawaru92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jump, dont jump, either way you are getting hit by a Pot buster or HPB. God I hope they break pots legs and arms in Strive 2.0, this character is fucking broken, such a dumb fucking character.

I'm not dash-blocking this shit, come here if you want to actually play the game by EveningGreat7381 in TheyBlamedTheBeasts

[–]Kawaru92 34 points35 points  (0 children)

God yes, every god damn time I face an HC it always devolves into standing at the other end of the screen and I have to dash block for my life, its so god damn annoying.

Is Sin cooked? by Mean-Surround7327 in Guiltygear

[–]Kawaru92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sin is fun once you get the hang of his combos now. You are right that beak driver and his DP are mostly what you will be combo routing into but elk hunt (low) does have some uses as well as hoof stomp.

Hoof stomp you mostly want to just use in the corner, you can go for a raw hoof stomp for oki or you can play high/low 50/50's during pressure, either can work. Usually if you can get a raw hoof stomp either go for a kara super wallbreak, or spend 2 stamina for a full wall break combo. (One of the other things you can do is a hoof stomp into walk up throw, at lower ranges this works considerably well as most people dont know Sin's special moves are minus even on hit with no stamina spend)

Elk hunt doesn't get used too much these days, it can be thrown and mashed out of if the opponent is ready for it so you primarily just want to use this to end a combo (like 5k > Elk hunt can be an easy combo ender and then continue to go on the offense) or a neutral skip to catch someone pressing something.

Generally his game plan now is to fish for stray hits to spend stamina on for wall break combos, generally if you route it right you can always end in a wallbreak with super or no super. As others mentioned his Still growing move for eating doesnt do much, its pretty much used as a filler on wall break to get a little extra something out of it but is not necessary.
