#combotober Day 20: Combo that starts with a throw

I like Bob a lot. I realize he was overtuned in T6, but the idea is solid – he’s a Mishima-alike with good poking and a big bag of tricks. I like him as a character too – he’s big intentionally, and while he’s sometimes comedic, he’s always shown as competent, smart, heroic. He felt it was optimal for his MMA career to just have more momentum, so he got bigger! You can’t argue with physics. SPEED AND WEIGHT.

Also one of his throws is a launcher. Tekken 7…

#combotober Day 13: Your Favorite Other SNK Game

Samurai Shodown is another series I’ve always appreciated. I like the minimalist music, the tension, the treatment of violence. A sword fight is not safe. And maaaan. Genjuro. Genjuro is so sick.

Here’s Samurai Shodown (2019).

(opponent crouch blocking) K cancel into 214+A (hold), card comes out, is blocked, card is bouncing, will be an overhead in a sec. 5B+C (universal overhead), card bounce hits, n.5B 236+A,236+A,236+A

that standing close B is special cancellable and you can do his rekka out of it, all three hits guaranteed. obvs you don’t have to do the kick into special move to start this but it’s fun.

combotober Day 4: Your Guilty Gear Main

It’s I-No! (I-No is a Mishima.) Rev2 is so fun! Movement in Rev2 feels so good, just so much zooming around. I-No’s kit might be more satisfying here than in any other Guilty Gear game. #Rev2Forev2 I should play more Rev2 and also more KI and perhaps also more vsav. Right after I get really good at Virtua Fighter. The problem with fighting games is there are so many good ones. ANYWAY.

#combotober Day 1: My Street Fighter main!

(I actually do main Akuma in Streets, even if I don’t play all that much Streets in the grand scheme.)
