glad he's back, but his old 6p is gone. a finger on my monkey's paw has just curled. i figured they'd take away purple bat stomp before that k mappa knocking down is kind of wild to me. same with the bison slide being cancelable the new backdash invicibility seems more situationally useful than useful in every situation like before. a lot more attacks are at disadvantage on block, so i can see why it was altered not sure about the new vamp hand. the old 2S was nice as an anti-air option, but pulling in people into bite range might be useful dead on time (641236+S) just got turned into bionic arm, but we gave up the air super for it. i'm not sure how i feel about that

one thing you didn’t cover is that after you break the wall with super or wild assault and get the hkd , you can whiff k mappa for your oki. you get a high/low mix, a bite or if you think they gonna reversal you, you have time to block reversal super or dp. I’ve been getting sm mileage out of this.

@roarkviolet1912 Ай бұрын

Pilebunker loops are a funny side effect of all the things they've put on pilebunker to make it fit into strive. •Guard crush for that big heavy feel of a move that's really powerful. •Tonnes of recovery to negate the forced 30f of guard crush recovery and make sure the move is negative on block. •Sliding knockdown so that on CH the added frame advantage for pilebunker can combo into mappa and also to prevent all the recovery making it negative on hit. •Standard strive QOL stuff to ensure that you don't get situations where a move sends someone the wrong way. All these things come together to create an unintended but awesome application for pilebunker in combos. It's highly likely that in any patch that affects slayer in the future pilebunker might receive a damage reduction on repetitive hits or slightly lower damage to compensate for him being able to do more than one with the right routes and given arcsys approach to stuff that just looks cool it's unlikely they'll remove the ability to loop meterlessly.

@tabkg5802 Ай бұрын

If backshot loops were unintended than they would likely get removed. ArcSys aren't unknown to delete cool stuff because of their 4head mentality (everything Sol lost throughout the patches is a testament to that)

@DrDestructo64 Ай бұрын

Strikes me as a character with a lot of optimization coming his way, especially with those reverse pile bunkers. Reminds me of Xrd Kum's clap super, where you position the enemy behind yourself so after they tumble, you get to just keep hitting them and having them pull you both to the corner. Also, I know it seems like a very "noobish" thing to point out, but Last Horizon does SO much damage, and is so simple to combo into, that I feel like it may actually prove relevant in high level. I know normally, you're looking to spend that 50 to do something unsafe or confirm into a good damage with HKD, but if a Slayer finds themselves getting positive bonus with a decent chunk of meter in the bank, I don't think it's unlikely for them to end up with 100 meter, and a way to just end the game. Guts thresholds are going to be VERY important for it, though.

@HellecticMojo Ай бұрын

I don't think last horizon will matter much. There will be occasions like Nago blood super, but Slayer should be burning a lot of meter unless he's absolutely stomping the match. Unlike Gio, him stocking meter doesn't help defensively, so I really see no incentive for him to use that as any real matchup defining strategy. It doesn't have invincibility or is unblockable either so it's not even a good YOLO. Raging Demon, this really ain't.

@GrownManPat Ай бұрын

This level of understanding comes from experience, but also critically thinking about the 4 phases of matches that he mentioned. Also, thinking critically about how decisions impact each moment and what it can lead to. It gets pretty deep, but all matches are interactions. You train yourself to recognize common interactions and have the best decisions ready. For example, sol wakes up dp. When you knock him down, you can dash up and do nothing to bait the dp. Things like that....

@fardsmel Ай бұрын

watch matches from good players and analyze what they do and more importantly why they’re doing it. If you can’t come up with answers on your own, ask good players for advice. Also play to learn and improve. imo the only time you should play to win is if you’re in a tournament or similar setting. if you don’t understand something in a match, save the replay and break down the interaction, even take notes.

@@Helldragon789 It depends on the move, some moves can be canceled into each other really fast, others slowly and some not at all, but general rule is to wait until the character swings to perform the next move.

@prabeshgurung1067 Ай бұрын

@@Helldragon789 timing depends on the length of the startup for a move, as well as whether they are falling or are in a unique state. If the moves go into each other (e.g. gatling combos), the timing usually isn't hard to get, but if it requires you to not do anything for a certain amount of frames, can be difficult. Overall, most combos have minorly different timing, and at least for the easy ones, you can get the gist of just by looking at the animation.

@chris.pbacon7949 Ай бұрын

It's height and spacing dependent, can be easier to get on bigger opponents to I feel like. Depending on the starter and route you need to use either K or P dandy and may need to delay bunker slightly. There are also some specific delays after the c.S pickup depending on the route. An easy one to train with imo is CH ! c.S 5[D] c.S 214PP c.S 2S 214PP. It needs no delays, it's short, lots of damage and easier than the others
