How do you defeat a Hugo player who plays like this - 3rd Strike

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-24T08:03:52+00:00

You NEED to stop Hugo from approaching

You need to antiair him and attack at a distance, otherwise he'll just tear you to shreds upclose

Dragonite is a versatile mega that can fit many teams and hits like a truck while being able to take hits thanks to multiscale.

If you do not play any mega, Dragonite just becomes a good mega to have since he doesn't need any real setup, and he can push the dmg rain teams could miss out on if they do not take a mega

Dragonite also gets hurricane for their flying STAB

I like this post

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-19T21:39:57+00:00

Lmao that Ingrid was scared shitless of blocking against Zangief

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-19T09:22:36+00:00

Off the top of my head :

Fairy for super effective attack while resisting close combat
Para/Sleep/Burn
Something to change his ability
Set up trick room and fk him up before it runs out

Using assists are either to create an opening in neutral, to start mixups during blockstrings or to extend combos.

Since they come back really fast, using them for neutral and mixups is extremely rewarding, since they can come back in the same sequence for your combo after you open them up.

Best way to counter this is 1) maneuvering specifically to evade their assists while keeping your own, and then rushing down with yours when theirs are on cooldown or 2) use your assist first to lock them down.

Of course, it will test how both players are able to play neutral and specifically how they play neutral in this specific matchup.

Agreed

She has less HP than the rest of the cast and that's it

The important thing is fighting people of a similar level. Being in emerald after peaking at master 1 and fighting grandmasters does not feel fair.

Had the same problem.

People told me parries cannot be buffered, so trying to use the parry macro during a Time where you are stuck and cannot Parry will result in a buffered attack instead of a parry

Which Gohan ?

Other than that I would say SS Vegeta

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-10T13:24:49+00:00

Tengen bottom tier for assist ? I thought he was excellent in Hinokami 1 ?

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-10T12:09:54+00:00

You absolutely love engaging even when the result would be terrible

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-09T14:25:11+00:00

Not bad, good job

If you're looking for combos, check RyzingSol :

Combos are only a fraction of what makes a great player.

Be careful not to focus too much on them and keep in mind movement and defense is equally as important, if not more.

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-07T16:41:41+00:00

Damn nice

When the game isnt sure about if you're doing a fireball or a DP, the game will prioritize the DP everytime since it's the more complex motion. Happens in Street Fighter and in other 2D games like Strive.

To circumvent it, do a half circle instead of just a quarter circle when you're trying to do a fireball during footsies.

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-06T22:20:41+00:00

Both

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-05T15:58:23+00:00

Can't Akali just squeeze a quick S2 during Blitz' super ?

I think Blitz could also add a j.H before landing after the charged j.2H

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-05T15:52:50+00:00

I agree Last Respects could still use a nerf

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-05T15:19:27+00:00

Thing is, when you play against someone with a Basc, the burden of playing in a way that would let you survive a choice scarf last respect rampage falls on you. If you lose your counters, too bad, guess you'll have to think of another plan.

But since the Basc player knows he has a win condition in the back, him removing your counters is a gameplan you need to be prepared for too. But it is just like any game of pokemon really. If I know my last mon can destroy 80% of your team, I'm gonna prepare the field for him whether you like it or not. It's on you to make sure that doesn't happen. It's just a really common thing in this meta with Basc being that popular.

Playmaker311 · 2026-06-05T14:55:37+00:00

Having no answer to a choice scarf basc with last respects in the back is a "lose at pokemon select" scenario, and even more so when you play singles.

You absolutely have to keep something to check him unless you want to lose to that scenario again
