My Lion Strat

Re: Hey Jiber!

The followup throws after the catch can be escaped with either + or +, depending on which direction Lion dodges. A good tactic for Lion is to dodge, then use to interrupt their whiffed throw animation as they try to option select against the throw.

 

Re: Hey Jiber!

Yes, you can escape the followup throws like Dre said. The catch itself, however, is inescapable and, though i'm not sure about this and unable to check right now, the series is guaranteed. At least the first two hits are...

I don't know whether this makes it a throw or what.

Re: Hey Jiber!

Hmm. Coulda sworn I've done it on the PS2. I'll go check it.

 

Re: Hey Jiber!

My mistake. I mistook the throw you're referring to as the +

 

Re: Hey Jiber!

FYI, + was in the first beta, but taken out of the second (unfortunately).

I always heard that
+ was blockable with but I've never done it. I don't play many Lions, and I'm only able to block Akira's similar catch a couple times out of the hundreds of Akira's out there.

 

Re: Hey Jiber!

the catch is definitely blockable with .. ive had it blocked a few times

 

Re: Hey Jiber!

Still trying to block my friend's catch --> P series using , and i still can't manage to pull it off. I concede that it's probably just something i'm screwing up... any special timing needed?

 

Re: Hey Jiber!

Yes, that's a safe bet, since the command is . /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

Re: Hey Jiber!

lol, yeah, i suppose that would be pretty difficult, eh?

Problem is that sometimes i have to make these posts between either my boss or my woman hanging over my shoulder. Has to be done quickly (which ends up synonymous with "sloppy"). And i have to be all stealth and shit. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

Re: Hey Jiber!

As ya do. We've all been there -- I know how the "boss over the shoulder goes" although my new place of employment is about 1000x more lax than any other job in this city.

 

Easy combo there.
It reminds myself when i just started out.

 

I have a couple of combos

buffered + then and then a down attack.

And 3 small ones

then

then again

and+ then

 

As your post reminds me of the pointlessness of my first.
