Beating Dural with Lion in Kumite mode

    Does anyone have a trick to beat Dural with Lion in Kumite mode ? She's a pressure monster and it seems that her moves have almost no recovery time. And she escapes most of my throws. Sometimes I manage to win a round by ring-out but it's so rare ! Please help. Thanks.

    So you're playing VF4, eh? I played Lion in High King rank when I played VF4.
    I won Dural by using Lion's catch throw very often and doing many low attacks. As you might know, CPU don't escape on that throw. (Throw really isn't a REAL catch throw but it it looks like a catch throw) There really aren't any tactics to beat Dural. Just keep attacking solidly by quick attacks and keep her in pressure. Don't throw too many times for the same throw. CPU has automatic throw escape. Change your throw after each throw.

    Try to do Lion's special 'double low attack' repeatly. I'm not sure how it must be done but it is that low attac´k where second kick is mid kick.

    Thanks for your tips but I can't figure what is the "special double low attack" you are talking about. Is it [2_]+[K],[K] ? I don't think so... Maybe [2_]+[K],[K]+[G] ? But the second kick hits high, not mid. I'd really like to know because I think it's very interesting to use strings that hit low, then mid (or high, then mid) and I don't know such ones for Lion.

    If you mean Manits Catch ([6][1][P]+[G]), it is considered HCT according to the movelist.
    Talking about throws in VF4, I remember that computer has never escaped Lion's [9][P]+[G]. This move has been taken out of Evo, though.

    Yeah you're right that CPU never escapes on that throw. Maybe because it's not powerful.
