Kage Maru mentor wanted.

Hello. I am new to VF.
I need a mentor who teach me the art of figthing, imput timing and mechanics for Kage.
I know the basics, had done all the tutorials and most of the challenges. I consider myself a challenging oponent, but I got my flaws and need to get rid of them.

Cant do the + combo. Always miss the .

Thanks! /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

All you need to know about Kage is:

You are my favourite person in the world, Shang.

 

Its actually 'Kagay Maru'.

 

The only "Kagay" is your perfect dragon punch combo one. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If you have problems feeling out those diagonals using the PhoenixDth method, it might be worth trying a "double fireball" movement, or . PhoenixDth'S method is more economic though, TBH, but I find I find the fireball movement more consistent, especially on a stick.

 

I think myke is having Kagay Pooftah insecurities /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif I guess kage enveloped pink sakura petals too much for his ninja image.

 

one thing i did to practice the is to do one after the other after the other in training mode. I would do the attack, then before Kage lands buffer in the crouch dash and try to do the attack again the instant he recovers. It's tricky, but if you can do it flawlessly 10 times in a row then I'm sure you'll have no problem pulling it off after the 10ft toss.

A combo that has ring out possibilities, oki games, and works with all characters is +, + (timed to hit as early as possible), (High elbow, helix kick... stupid directions), +. It doesn't do much damage, so this shouldn't replace your combos, but in a pinch or when you think you can get a ring out, or if you have difficulty nailing with Aoi, Sarah and Pai, this could work out for you.

There are a few more tricks I've picked up, but I'm hardly a master. Good luck, keep practicing /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

Man, that shang is so funny, hahaha. I mean he gets on here and calls other users names and then, get this, he says that Kage is gay, haha. Where does he come up with this stuff? Does he get it from the bathrooom stalls at elementary schools or junior high? He aint no Andrew Dice Clay, but the boy is funny. I mean, the whole "your character is gay and mine rocks" thing never gets old, does it? Or how about "Hey, you're retarded, and I'm like, um, not, hehe"
Hey, little buddy, do you need a hug? Oh, I know, you just want a little attention, well, here you go:
Is your theme song: "I dont wanna grow up, I'm a Toys' R' us kid" ?

 

He had to step it up as nobody cared (as much) about his usual "venting" or even replied to his photoshopped library of 'omg pwned' pictures. Guess he just paniced. Maybe with VF5 arriving the site will get a new influx of kids which will give those the attention he craves.

Here are, imo, some nice Kage documents:

Pratice the knee, but if you want to take a "safe" route to beat your friends, swap the knee with

 

Thanks!

Ok.

When Kage is BT, and do (the big backward jump), what is the best follow-up once Kage landed.

A + is just too simple. My enemy can avoid it with a fast , crouching or a +-escape.

I need something fast and efective. Something my enemy cant avoid.

Thanks again!

 

The backflip is pretty much a style move--i.e. in tournament play it's nearly useless. If you are BT your options should be:

: Good at advantage, small to medium disadvantage, and works ell with delay

+: Mid-attack if you want to be safe. Best used with advantage. Tack on the canned if you're confident you will counter.

: You need to buffer the command while BTing, but this move is really, really good. You get advantage on block and a huge combo if it connects. Best used when you have advantage (i.e. you hit the opponent on the BTing move).

or : Don't underestimate the walk! Kage is hard to hit (opponents best try to back throw you), and if your opponent whiffs his attack you can punish with a BT . You can still do all the normal options after too.

+: Good if you're reasonably confident the opponent will try to dodge in anticipation of your other attacks. Decent damage, high risk.

Imho, use and turn around to do a 8 frame throw as it is faster and safer. On the other hand, the back turn + has got 'catch throw' properties to interrupt attacks.

 

: Forgot this one, but this is also a good safe move.

yeah personally i think the kagay thing was the final straw for shang /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

I'm just saying if this thread was about any character other than kage, i dont think the outcome would of been the same. But oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
