Brads Keep Out Game is Outstanding.

I have been experementing with brads various tools and have been exploiting his keep out game. He has so many tools to lock down an opponent from advancing to you that are safe on block. most notabally his (hold) f+k. this move is special high that has amazing reach and is quite fast. this coupled with his 4k and 4k into stance is quite viable to control the flow of the match. you can use this with the hospital throw technique to really confuse your opponent and make them hesitate and be vary cautious approaching you. I must say it is vary abusable when used right. down right nasty!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Brad only needs one keep out move: /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif

People who think backwalking, 3King Vanessas are bitches to deal with will probably break down and cry when trying to deal with this move.

 

I specially like 6P+K and 3P+K as "keep out" moves. With the latter you can hit check for the canned P followup. Both great for punishing whiffs too.

 

Yo, don't forget about about 4P+K (into stance or otherwise). That move can help turn the most aggressive player into a turtle.

 

I totally forgot about 214k. haha. nice /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

I just wanna chime in about how strong 6K is. Half-circular and special high, this move more often than not seems to connect for MC. I learned first-hand from Shinn_Akira just how good it can be both as a counterattack option and occasionally as a pressure tool, especially when mixed up with 4K.

My only problem with getting 6K out is knowing when and how to buffer the 6 so that I'm not walking into my opponent all day.

 

If you do 236K it'll come out as K. No walking required.

 

interesting i diddn't know that

 

You can also Hold 6 while holding G and then releasing G and hitting K at the same time to get the 6_K to come out. Much like how jacky players get the 6_K~G to come out without constantly walking toward their opponent. Hard as balls to do tho ><

 

I'm not sure how many people know this:

If you move the stick from to without returning to neutral, you can get the QCF input. There's no need to hit the diagonal.

Brad's and are definitely his best keep out tools. The latter was improved in VF5R as it gives pushback on guard in that game. You might have some success with for keep out as well.

 

Maybe he plays on a keyboard?

 

Took the words right out of my mouth

 

FTW!!

 

lol'd

 

I move the stick from and follow a diagonal line to . In other words, I'm moving the stick between and en route. When I said not to hit the diagonal, I meant that you weren't bringing the stick to the gate.

What's with you and misunderstanding me lately Myke? First with the wall throws and now the stick movement!

 

Understood. I'm relatively new to stick terminology, as I've used a pad for most of the time I've been playing VF. For now on, I guess I should just say that you don't have to "follow along the gate."

I've seen 270 inputs written in the following notation: . It isn't written as if you hit the diagonals, so I thought that my assumption was safe.

 

In theory you dont need to hit the diagonals. It just happens in practise when you rotate the stick. There are no diagonal switches in a joystick anyway, so hitting a diagonal is actually equal to hitting and at the same time for example.
