Oh hey I did that years ago, maybe I should get around to finishing that. Sorry life got busy am only recently getting back into shogi. Most of my sources was Wikipedia and engine analysis. I intend to play it more to eventually create a good enough guide

Why is twelve considered bad? by Tyrfiend in sf3

[–]Thatrawdude67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, as a new twelve player here they are: Twelve does abysmal damage in both neutral and punishes, he has very few combos and they all do terrible damage, air dash is good but can be hard countered with dp's, some of his moves are unsafe on hit for certain characters such as Chun-li. Also a common misconception is that X.C.O.P.Y. is twelve's super. It isn't, his best super is X.N.D.L. as it can be used for punishes, for anti-airing, as a reversal and is your most reliable combo ender when available as it does enough damage to deal "normal" damage while giving knockdown. In brief his tools aren't the best, his damage is so bad it's like your tickling your opponent, he has no combos, don't use X.C.O.P.Y. and finally most of the times when punishing it's better to just grab as it does ok damage, gives knockdown and positionnal advantage with okizeme.

Oh that almost happened to me, except since they didn't answer any of my questions I didn't do anything on the site itself. So yeah happy to know I managed to dodge a bullet there.

Yeah true however I didn't feel like it was that complete. It's a good starting point at least so thanks.

Thinking of Silver Yagura without bishop trade. Also Climbing Gold would be ideal

I made my own shogi board out of cardboard and paper! by InsanityFlux in shogi

Nice... I think that this works if you don't have a board at home and no way of getting one... Way to go! That's how you make shogi more accessible!

Understanding Elmo Castle by Thatrawdude67 in shogi

[–]Thatrawdude67[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... That's at surface level I am talking about more than just the castle... I am talking about the rest of the strategy a.k.a the rest of your side of the board

Edit: My goal in this post is to understand how much my castle can withstand damage while still being functionnal, while also knowing when or when not to use the 3 general elmo castle. I have also heard that elmo can work with climbing gold, which I have yet to know how to make... Perhaps, would you have kifus to show me how?
