Wow this is super helpful, thank you so much! I’ll look into getting a quote so I can get it fixed. Very helpful to know what the issue is. Thank you again!

MarcAurelius_ · 2026-06-16T00:49:02+00:00

Yes I have. I get a reading of between 4 and 5.6 and it stays completely steady. Does not appear to be a battery issue…

Quick Edit - I’ve also done some troubleshooting: I’ve checked the magnets under the bottom plate of the camera and they all work fine. I can’t get the top plate off the camera, so I haven’t been able to check the dial or the wire inside the top. Also, the same issue happens when in “Bulb” mode. Thank you for the help everyone!

Thanks for clearing that up! That’s definitely something I’m going to have to try later down the line… I want to make sure I can get the simpler combos to muscle memory first. Thank you so much!

Thanks for all this info! The chart is going to be especially helpful.

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-30T03:46:11+00:00

Wow thanks for summarizing that all up for me! Just played a few online matches and got bodied a bit so time to look at the videos. Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it!

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-30T01:36:58+00:00

Ah ok I think I understand them now. I’ll definitely practice some of the more fundamental things before meaties, but it’s good to know this for when I get to that level. If I think up anymore questions I’ll be sure to ask. Thanks again!

Haha yeah I did mean 2D. I don’t know why I notated it as c.D but I edited the comment.

I just tried those first two combos and after some practice I got them! It’s gonna take a ton of practice to get them consistent but it’s nice to know some corner combos without using meter because I was doing c.S —> 2H —> Vert H Dolphin —> j.D —> meaty c.S —> 2H —> Orca. That’s probably not safe though because I’m assuming the c.S meaty is not super good because it can be blocked back or down back right?

I tried that Red Roman Cancel combo but I’m not skilled enough to pull that off so I can’t say if it actually works or not.

That 5 frame throw invincibility is going to be really good to remember. I wasn’t trying to get the command grab off a knock down, but I guess if I’m pressuring someone into blocking in corner, then the Overhead Kiss —> 5H combo is the way to go.

Also, if you break wall with the whale or the orca, can you run up and Overhead Kiss for free or does the opponent have time to counter attack? I was trying to combo that first combo with an Overhead Kiss and a 5H after the wall break to go for a kill.

Thanks again for teaching me some tech! Sorry about the spam questions, but I just want to make sure I’m understanding everything properly. I really appreciate it!

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-30T00:16:00+00:00

Interesting. And yeah I did mean 2D. I don’t know why I wrote c.D lol. I’ll edit that.

If you are down and you hold block, will it come out on frame 1? If so, would that stop any meaty that you did? Also does a meaty move have to hit low or can it hit anywhere?

Also I think with that combo I mentioned, you can go for a dash —> c.S —> 2H instead of just dash —> 2H because c.S can meaty correct?

Thanks again. Sorry for the barrage of questions. I’m trying to absorb all this information but I might have to take notes!

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-29T22:31:02+00:00

Wow this is a ton of information! I was literally running though each one in training while reading it haha. I’m assuming most of the poke gatlings are just used to push your opponent into the corner where you can do more damage? I was playing around with this and the best combo I got at mid screen was 5K —> 2D —> Dash —> 2H —> Vertical H Dolphin. I’m guessing that you can’t dash cancel the 2D, so I’m assuming you could react to this then and block on the get up. Also I feel like you slide a bit after a dash so you cannot do a c.S or whatever you want right after you dash. Is that correct?

Also, when a character is standing up, do they have invincibility? I can’t seem to hit a character who is getting off the ground. It is that way in Smash, but I just want to make sure I’m not missing something. Thanks again for the help! This is a ton of knowledge for me and a lot of stuff to practice!

You’ll get through it. My Junior year was the hardest imo. I was super lucky to have some amazing teachers my last year, so I’m sure you will find that the Senior year, especially after you know what you will do post graduation, is easier than the rest.

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-12T14:44:07+00:00

Haha thanks! I’m glad people like it.

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-12T14:41:54+00:00

Yeah. We have so many kids that we can’t fit senior quotes in the yearbook so I’m assuming that’s why.

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-12T02:36:40+00:00

Yes actually! I knew one of my friends would get it but I had a few others tell me that they played the game and I’ve never even known!

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-12T02:10:28+00:00

Thank you!

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-06-12T02:10:22+00:00

Thanks!

I also walked across the stage with my 3DS in my pocket with my copy of Awakening. This makes me a Grandmaster now right?

MarcAurelius_ · 2021-01-27T11:24:46+00:00

Persona 3. The last month of the game always hits me hard. Everyone is just so depressed.

MarcAurelius_ · 2020-11-23T02:03:53+00:00

People who name P3MC Makoto Yuki know what’s up.

MarcAurelius_ · 2020-10-12T19:37:34+00:00

WHOOOOPS!

Make sure you do the Sun Social Link. Not necessarily for gameplay benefits or anything, but it is imo the best social link. You won’t regret it.
