Multiple scruby questions

Hey I'm back with more questions and this time I got to play someone who actually knows how to play the game on a basic level EYES
some of my questions are character specific but I didn't want to make multiple threads for a short answer question so I'm sorry in advance for asking so many questions .

1.Is there a frame disadvantage that once you get put in, doing a defensive move stops being an option because you'll get hit if you attempt it ?
2.How many frames does it take to turn around when in backturned in VF5FS specifically ?
3.Does Vanessa's only Sabaki kicks ?
4.Am I supposed to guess between the low and mid options after blocking one of Jean's charged moves or can I fuzzy it if he doesn't change his timing ?
5.I saved the replays of some of my matches but I have no means of recording them other than my phone, would anyone be willing to give me some critique even though I'm pretty new and bad and don't know my character very well ?

 

1) Yes. You cannot crouch fuzzy when you have a disadvantage from -6 or worse. You can crouch fuzzy only when you are -1 to -5. If you try to crouch fuzzy at -6 the throws will still connect and mids may hit you (but i'm not 100% on this so don't quote me).
2) If i remember correctly you take 3frame before you can block something SIDE TURNED. Also in the wiki there should be all the numbers you are looking for this particolar questions.
3) I'm not a Vanessa player but 46p+g is a throw. So maybe you mean another command. But I have familiarity VS Vanessa and the 2 sabakis she uses the most is one that will sabaki kicks and knees and another one that will stops punches.
4) Actually you can dodge in a specific direction if Jean uses the follow ups after blocking a charged attack. Just keep in mind you are -6 and fuzzy and cfuzzy isn't an option if he starts some mixups involving throws and guard break.
5) A replay is still a replay. Also you can upload a replay to the VF built in replay system. Just hit save replay when you finish the match and you can rewatch your matches with notations whenever you want and upload any replay whenever you want. The only (and biggest) downside is that you can upload one match only. Uploading another one will erase the previous replay.
That said you can upload a match and ask a friend to record the match once they download it online.
Also xbone has a built in way to record gameplay footage so if you are a microsoft player keep that in mind.

I hope that I cleared most of your doubts. If not keep asking and reading other people answers.

 

I'll try to help answer your questions:

#1 - I am not totally sure what you're asking here. Are you referring to certain disadvantage situations when evading is not a viable option?

#2 - It takes 6 frames to turn around from back-turned position without attacking or dashing.

#3 - You may mean to ask about Defensive Style sabaki move instead. I'm not sure on which particular attacks this sabaki move works on, but I can test it out later.

#4 - Jean's max charged attack is unblockable. His other max charged moves leaves an opponent at -6 when blocked, so the answer to this question is "yes" as fuzzy guarding won't work in this situation.

#5 - You should probably ask an experienced player to assist you here. Which characters do you have saved replays for?

#1) Short answer: YES

Long answer: if I'm understanding you correctly I think you are asking if there are situations where you can't use evade (they call it defense move sometimes). if you try to evade and you fail (i.e. nothing was evaded) even if you dash cancel the failed evade movement, then if you try to evade again right away, you will not be able to evade a linear attack. I made a thread about it way back in the day and "tricky evade jail" but I think calling it "evade jail" is probably okay too. . . you know, if you don't' like cool names and all.

#5) if you upload it, I could give you a general feedback video via twitch.

 

3. Vanessa's DS 46P+K sabakis Mid kicks, side kicks, Knees, and high kicks. Maybe high knees (are they still in, I know they changed OS Vanessa's PK in a Jab-Kick, and I think I remember sabaki-ing that before... maybe)?
4. You must mean PPP(charge)->PPK/KK. Both options can be evaded to Jean's back. However, once the Jean player knows you're doing that and they adapt, they'll use that frame advantage differently.

 

Yooooo Thanks a bunch dudes that helped a lot, it means a lot to me to know that the community is always around to help newcomers like me.
For the Sabaki move question yes I meant defensive stance I must have brain farted because I was labbing the game for hours and I'll upload one of my matches as soon as I can .

 

Oh and yes I meant evading when I said defensive move. because in Tekken once you're at -5~-6 side stepping stops being an option because you can get tagged by almost anything so I was wondering if there's something similar in VF.
Sorry for not being clear about some of my question and some of the errors I made .

 

Well, regardless of frame disadvantage number, it is not possible to evade a full-circular attack at all. And against a half-circular move you can still get hit when you try to evade toward the wrong side (the arching path of attack).

Well that explains why sidestepping feels so damn inconsistent.

 

@Myke oops, sorry, i messed up : ds 46k used to sabaki HK in previous versions and i did not update that part of the wiki as per https://virtuafighter.com/threads/vanessa-ask-a-question-get-an-answer.17785/page-6#post-374488

I fixed it right away; please, anyone, let me know if i forgot to update Vane's DS sabakis anywhere else on vfdc.

Again, apologies.

 

This is why I still for the life of me don't know all the sabaki's of some characters on some moves. It's the one hole we still have across our wiki. . . EIleen's 4P+K+G sabaki dosen't have in it's notes that it catches High P/K and Low P's and gives a variable amount of frame advantage based on the attack sabaki'd.
