Well, in that situation, it's a bet the farm gamble.. Guess wrong on what your opponent will do on wake-up and you get punished hard for it.

If I understood correctly, he buffers the ultra with the jab, and does that when the opponent starts it's attack, the dp in the case. If the opponent does nothing, only the jab comes out, but if he does the dp, Balrog "enters" the proximity block range and the jab AND the ultra comes out

Backdash or throw.

Don't FA backdash, that triggers proxy guard.

Yeah, I think that's correct, but only a jab would come out, not the ultra

Yeah but if the opponent Jabs or does something that can beat your Ultra, then what? =P
 
Would it be possible to sweep OS the ProxyBlock OS as well?

More ways to beat stupid reversals is perfectly fine with me.

I believe balrog's ultra is invincible the first dozen frames or so, so you get screwed if you jab.

If you have a fast command grab like gief i think that would work against this, but that really limits the options since most characters don't have that in this game.
 
In that case, could you not add cr. Roundhouse to the OS input?

Also, I don't see how jab on wakeup works - how's it going to beat Rog's meaty cr. lk?

the os is cr. jab + ultra, and he uses jab because it's the fastest attack Balrog has, using roundhouse would be hella unsafe

I think it would be trouble if balrog ever gets you in the corner though because you would be in a lose lose situation for most characters. If you backdash he probably can sweep you on recover since startup on cr.HK is 8 and backdashes are 20 something for most characters. If he notcies nothing coming out, he'll just hit the sweep to do the situation all over again.

Does normal throw trigger it (I would think it wouldn't trigger the blocking state)? The meaty jab would beat the throw I assume, since it's not instant. Someone can correct me though.

I meant cr. lp.


Yes, you can add cr. rh for the OS.

On that vid:

c.lp + c.rh for backdashes after But overall yeah those are the right inputs.
 

this is how i feel about the phrase "high damage combos" in killer instinct, cause nuh-uh, all that is is a successful set of mixups

what can i do for ya
 
Rog just posted that Prox OS for Boxer. =o

yeah i saw it, looks like a nice setup. it's only useful in certain situations obviously, like throw to tap, since you need to be both point blank and also still have charge. and i dunno if it'd really be worth doing against ryu dp all the time, ex dp probably wins and regular dp probably falls out pretty quickly (which presumably is why he so quickly restarts the setup after the first ryu dp example). and it loses to throws, and to non-reversal uppercuts.

so yeah it's good. but i don't think this, and proxios in general, are game breaking in terms of balance. they're tough to do, require lots of knowledge, and take excellent timing and spacing to make effective.

and the meaty ones pretty much just make wakeups a worse idea than they are. that's totally fine with me! that was the whole reason i started working on sf4 style option selects in 2009, that i felt there were too many escapes on wakeup in sf4. option selects have helped us cut that back, and this cuts it back further. cool with me!

as far as use in footsies, it can be baited, requires good spacing and timing like good footsies already do anyway, and again requires lots of knowledge and technical ability.

so i'm mostly cool with it. the only problem is that it makes people who want to play at a very high level learn a lot more tech. sure that sucks, but within high level play i think it's fine.

with how much time and eyeballs and knowledge sharing and body of knowledge from previous games and players we have today, imo to be honest any game we take seriously for 5 years will have its programming torn apart and abused. sf4 is just the first example of that.
 
So what's this Twitch drama about? NSFW maybe.

People are pissed because Horror made a global emote of his boyfriend's fursona or some shit and think they should be able to harass him without getting banned? Am I reading this right?

From his twitter loses to:

Ryu's EX DP
Akuma EX DP
Seth EX DP
Bison EX psyco crusher Trades so does EX scisscor kicks

Anyone post about hitbox.tv?

http://www.hitbox.tv/

It's in beta at the moment. Another streaming site like twitch.

Their blog http://blog.hitbox.tv/

Probably deserves its own thread if there isn't one already.

Looks ok. There is no way twitch doesn't get a heap of competition soon. EA/Activision/Ubisoft/Microsoft/Sony..they'll all make their own.

No, people are pissed because Horror made that emote, then a guy who made a joke about it in an arbitrary stream chat was IP banned. Then a couple notable speedrunners who protested this banning were also IP banned. I'm not sure if it's harassment since they're not actively seeking out Horror and making jokes to his face (although in a way, everything said or written on Twitch is to his face, kinda).

This sort of reminds me of when the EMPJared emote was removed from Twitch. I asked Jared about that once in a stream chat and he claimed to have no knowledge that the emote ever existed.

I don't know how Jared didn't realize that people were gonna use that emote to make fun of him.

Anyway, sounds like a whole lot of wrong on both sides concerning this Horror business.
 
Listening to the Smash Brothers Documentary. Pretty interesting. Wonder what would happen if Marvel or SF had a Mew2King (a guy who plays like a robot(?) but has poor social skills)

I cannot wait for them to get a real competitor.

this is what a lot of people think chris g is like to be fair, though nobody seems to be m2k levels of embarrassing except maybe noel because he is a literal criminal.
 
I didn't know about the theft stuff, just in terms of talking about his robotic skill and rain-man-like social interactions(at least how the documentary portrayed it as)
