Now that's a smile I wanna protect. She's fun to fool about with in training mode. Easily 240+ damage in corners.

Anyone interested in answer, make sure you get 100% instant air dash execution down first. It's required to do damage

Is there any particular reason that doing IAD from ground normals just seems impossible for me, when doing them from neutral is so easy? :(

The buffer for the air dash is too small(1 or 2 frames I think), when you're just jumping, you can't air dash until you reach a certain height in the air, this is why if you input the dash before reaching that height, it wont come out.

Delay the dash input until you're just about to reach the lowest height your character can dash from after a jump. Waiting until the very end of the hit-stop of the move you're jump-canceling from before inputting IAD(96) should work.

IAD works fine from neutral because the moment you press 9 your characters jumps, while if you're canceling from an attack your character wont jump until after the hit-stop.

You'll need Plus for multiplayer.
I don't think they've said how much it's going to cost over here yet.

Not liking the new spin mechanic for Venom's SA and CR. The inputs are weird and the way they react on ball hit is throwing me off. His new 2HS is cool though.

I think Baiken is going to need that corner damage because I feel she'l have problems getting in in the future. Kinda like Sol. I definitely don't have any problems with it at this point

I think that's fair since her design is around her guard cancel changing the opponent's approach vs her. I don't think she's supposed to be a character that wants to "get in" primarily in the first place.

Speaking of Baiken, can anyone give me a basic breakdown of how exactly to approach the character? If she's not trying to get in, should she be poking for most of her damage? How exactly are you intended to use her counter/dash mechanics? I'm loving what I've played of her so far, and once Rev2 drops I'm probably going to start taking GG a bit more seriously while learning Leo, Sin, and Baiken.

Ok, I'll be that guy..

So.. when's Holy Order Sol?


Anyway, is there a PC release date yet? I asked during the aksys stream yesterday about a pc demo and they're fairly sure there wont be one, but the pc release should be fairly soon after ps4.

No PC demo. Someone would hack in some online before the official release.
June 1 is PC release

Yeah given where Europe comes from with GG, the current state of affairs isn't all that bad!

I'm doing most of my studying just by watching Sharon play the character. He makes great use of her armoured run to just bully his way in.

In my personal opinion even if unblock cost meter now, and the slight defense nerf I feel overall elphelt got better with the 6p upper body invul.

Just wondering, does GG have any easy ways to set the dummy to attack on wakeup or right after a blocked move?

No, it's the main thing that's missing from training mode, and a shame really considering how important oki is in this game.

Been really digging in with Ky lately and the Sol match-up is starting to get to me. I understand that Ky isn't really any type of specialist but getting cornered by Sol hurts. To be clear, I can win, but they're the dullest matches ever. Is there any other character that give Sol any problems? Kinda tired of running scared with Ky.

The match-up is actually fairly even in my view. Being sent to the corner is obviously the one thing to avoid. Once there, I'd focus on blocking low as Sol's OH are reasonably slow and can be reacted to. Faultless defence will also make it harder for the Sol player to stay in your face. If the opponent abuses gunflame, Ky's stun edge YRC -> dash should allow you to take the initiative again (provided Sol doesn't YRC obviously). A well spaced Greed sever also gets the job done but is clearly riskier. Don't be afraid to "mash" 2P if Sol has a tendency to run-in -> command grab too often!

5P, 2S can be used preemptively in order to counter Fafnir (after a blocked gunflame for instance).

That was my 2 cts, hope that helps!
