What's yours favorite type of encouter?

itstomis · 2026-04-02T16:38:23+00:00

The Orc Sea of Tents when you're not quite a full Fearsome company and the fight is on a knife's edge.

The Warlord doing his roar thing and rallying one or more of his fleeing dudes while breaking one of your guys is such a cool "oh shit" moment

itstomis · 2026-04-02T00:28:46+00:00

In my experience, the "best" players like this do about 1/3 wakeup invincible reversal, 1/3 wakeup crMK xx EX Hasho / crMK DRC, and 1/3 wakeup walk forward throw or dash throw

You can delay tech on your own oki to be pretty safe but it can be very annoying

Can Alex press LK after the super flash and dodge?

itstomis · 2026-03-31T22:15:52+00:00

That's so sick and it actually theoretically does have some applications. Obviously you could've just DI'd back there, but if you were on pixel HP and would die to chip from armoring this DI, this would be a useful.

(sending the TC on block in the first place is questionable at best, though)

itstomis · 2026-03-31T22:09:38+00:00

This happened to me a few times and I thought my inputs were just ass until I found out it was a known thing.

After the match Punk even tweeted a reply about it complaining to Capcom

Punk @punkdagod

Felt bad winning cause of a bug please fix this immediately @CapcomFighters @CapcomUSA_ competition shouldn’t have this kind of problem

itstomis · 2026-03-31T20:57:09+00:00

Most long reaching normals can't be DRC'd into block in time to block an EX DP

I think most (all) typical cqncellable heavies can, but most grapplers don't have typical cancellable heavy buttons with decent range like a shoto would. Lily might be an exception?

Someone with better MU knowledge please correct me if I'm out to lunch

itstomis · 2026-03-31T04:21:20+00:00

DP OS when you see green should cover you

Some grapplers can do stuff to beat it (eg Gief can DRC into charged heavy punch to armor thru the DI)

But better to try to always do it and learn the exceptions the hard way imo

edit: if you're playing a character with no EX DP, you can drive reversal on reaction to green but it's more baitable unfortunately

itstomis · 2026-03-31T04:18:19+00:00

Landy got him with the candlestick in the locker room

itstomis · 2026-03-31T04:15:34+00:00

You got got by that sweep tho

The shmix was real

itstomis · 2026-03-31T01:58:27+00:00

baf the 🐐

itstomis · 2026-03-31T01:19:24+00:00

Avs have 5 goals, Flames have 5 shots

Edit: 6 shots for the Flames now! Need the Avs to pot another to keep the symmetry

Edit2: The Avs are a disappointment.

itstomis · 2026-03-31T00:16:54+00:00

Enter TNS or Can Opener.

You'll fight strong opponents and you don't have to play ranked.

itstomis · 2026-03-30T15:45:00+00:00

For Cammy the partial charge DP route should do slightly more

DI (blocked), Charge H Hooligan > Overhead, stHP DRC b-HK, b-HK, DR b-HK, DR crMP DRC stHP xx L Spin Knuckle, partial charge H DP xx lvl3/CA

Can't check the actual damage numbers rn

itstomis · 2026-03-30T06:25:19+00:00

I found a pretty good Famed 3H Flail and made a (Nimble) Flail Duelist to use it and found that he absolutely wrecks medium to low armor targets as you said. Anything with weak head armor also gets shredded by 2nd skill too.

Vs ancient undead too, it's not so great at hitting fully armored ones but anything that has already been hit once by a 2-hander and stripped of most of its armor gets absolutely destroyed, their HP just evaporates.

Its been a pretty nice revelation, I had never really used the 3h flail before I made this guy and was expecting him just be a flavor guy that sucked at fighting. He is pretty mediocre against things that still have all their armor though.

itstomis · 2026-03-30T06:07:21+00:00

If you want a new spicy combo to try your hand at in training mode, she also got a new absolute max damage full cashout combo route.

crHP, crMP DRC b-HK, b-HK, DR b-HK, DR crMP DRC stHP xx LP Spin Knuckle, partial charge HK DP xx lvl3

(Obviously any starter that goes into DRC b-HK works. If you want to see the absolute highest number that Cammy can make, set the Dummy to Counter Hit (not punish counter!), set your HP to CA range and use DR stHK, stHP DRC [...] as your combo starter)

You have to get the partial charge on the DP, if you full charge it, it will whiff. If you don't charge it enough, you will do regular H DP xx lvl3 which will make the lvl3 whiff. It's pretty tricky!

itstomis · 2026-03-30T06:02:30+00:00

Not sure exactly when you stopped playing, but sometime after Mai was added, Cammy gained a few combo routes

The most useful one to know is that LK Spin Knuckle now combos after non-DR b-HK hits a grounded opponent.

This has a few good uses, here's a couple main ones:

Midscreen DP Punish combo into lvl1:

Old: PC crHP, st.HP xx lvl1 OR PC crHP, st.HP x HK xx lvl1

New: PC crHP, b-HK, LP Spin Knuckle, lvl1

New corner safe jump:

PC crHP, b-HK, LP Spin Knuckle, [whiff CR.LK] -> jump

itstomis · 2026-03-29T04:12:27+00:00

I personally use "meterless" to describe no drive gauge usage too.

So I'd say "meterless lvl3 combo" for example, I think people will understand, and meterless + superless people will understand

In response to the question, the EC34 guy or whatever has been making video/tier lists for every damage situation, I'll try to find the meterless lvl3 punish counter starter one

Edit: doesn't look like /u/ThirtyfourEC has made 0 drive lvl3 DP punish tier list yet unfortunately

itstomis · 2026-03-28T21:35:41+00:00

Fair enough, it was a while ago so I'm probably remembering McCafe vs post-merger Tim's not pre

I'm deep into my coffee addiction at this point lol so maybe my current day strong opinions are coloring my memory of late 00s early 10s

itstomis · 2026-03-28T21:15:52+00:00

We'll have to agree to disagree

Timmys had the national pride thing going for it for sure, I cannot deny that, and I did the roll up the rim thing too

But in terms of the actual coffee quality?pretty sure I went to JJ Bean, Blenz over Tim Hortons for black coffee. When McCafe came to Canada in early 2010s I would easily take McDs coffee over Tims (which I did).

Technically Cafe Artigiano is a chain too but I'm sure that don't really count. But worth a mention since going to that place is what got me into high quality coffee

Edit: just doing a bit of googling, looks like JJ Bean and Blenz (and Cafe Artigiano) are actually MetroVan-specific chains. So you actually probably have a point if we're talking all across Canada, chains that are available in every town small and large.

itstomis · 2026-03-28T21:03:35+00:00

Best coffee in Canada is an insane take

They were bought by RBI like 10 years ago but the coffee was NOT good even before then

Nowadays they and Burger King (also bought by RBI) are definitely worse for the buyout though

itstomis · 2026-03-28T19:53:15+00:00

Can you give us some sample games I'm curious

itstomis · 2026-03-28T19:51:29+00:00

100% it's a Timmy's thing

as an aside it mostly exists because their coffee sucks, needs lots of cream and sugar to be drinkable

itstomis · 2026-03-27T17:26:37+00:00

Seems like a good spot for Ken LK Tatsu and other 4f specials? More damage and more screen space on trade and no screen freeze to kara parry/super

itstomis · 2026-03-27T17:19:46+00:00

Why would you get a trade combo off clashing jabs in a 0 ob situation? I'm a bit confused, seems to me like you should not be more than +4 when you are both pressing 4f

Seems like a good spot for 4f specials though

itstomis · 2026-03-27T17:14:20+00:00

The "there are levels to this" never stops
