Help against Lau!

Okay, I know this may sound noobish but there is a Lau named "Daimon Lau" and he's is really pissing me off. He always does that /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif thing and I can't do a thing. I tried evading and guarding then retaliating but he always catches me off-guard. How do you beat that bastard father of hers!?

 

I already know not to evade at /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif, but he still gets the upper hand after I guard it. I guess it's just my slow reaction or I've been playing too long...

 

...or maybe your just fast. Thanks. Now I need to get some sllep anyways.

 

It may be that Lau's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif stops hit frames & enters recovery frames earlier that you realize - you don't have to keep guarding past a certain point in his spinning. If you have vf4 evo, record him doing /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, then try to /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif him as soon as you block the first part of the spin.

nice sig, btw :|
input speed != reaction time

 

Thats one of the slowest recovery moves in the game propably, so its definitely you. Honestly, my grandmother could punish it.

 

Thanks for your help, I will do that! While it is true that I am currently the world's fastest inputter of Pai's commands, that doesn't mean I have good reflexes.

 

See my quote!

 

Like it was mentioned, block and once you have attack. I've played this CPU and hated him too in quest mode, ARCADE ACES FTL! The entire fight is not hard if you block and then low grab. It worked for me, but I did dash in after I blocked.

 

Re: Help against Lau.

Since I use the 360 controller, when I try to do a low throw, it slips and a low punch comes out. I guess I just need to get used to it.

 

Re: Help against Lau.

use a macro for P+K+G

also yes we know "fast" and "slow" are relative terms, no need to get snippy good sir, but basically in the VF world if your reaction time is poor enough that you cannot punish a move like /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif at the end of Lau's punch string then you are in need of some serious practice

 

Re: Help against Lau.

Lau seems a terror at first but his basic crap is near worthless if you know him.

Hit me up for some sparring sessions and I will walk you through his patented moves. I think we can have your Pai up to speed in no time.

Re: Help against Lau.

If you mean training in VS. Mode, my Gamertag should be in my sig.

 

KoD is right with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif but if you can also just /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif or what esle I do is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif which will launch Lau for combo. If Lau doesn't try to snuff the scoop he can block the move but at least you are now at advantage.

Then the next time in that you are in the same sequence you can /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif from the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif which is a backflip cartwheel thingy, will hit crouching Lau's, and put you at a pretty safe distance to start a mid range game with no advantage to either player.

 

At least I think you are at advantage after the scoop. If anything you are at an even playing field. Am I wrong on this one? Anyhone?

 

The one who suggested to block then low throw worked well. Just need to practice the controller so I can do low throws instead of low punch.

 

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif is at large disadvantage on block; /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif is punishable on block. He can block either one after the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif. You definitely dont want to /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif him after he sweeps unless that's all you can manage to do, because you have better guaranteed damage options. Ditto for low throw unless you know he doesn't escape low throws.

heck, you might want to play around with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif combos - since its special high, it should hit the recovering sweep.

 

Cool, thanks KoD.

 

I might try that sometime. Thanks!
