Guard Challenge help (Was Re: VF4 Evo TACTICS ADVICE ...)

It has been a while since the last post in this thread, but I think it is still relevant.

I am have a problem completing the Guard Challenge. I am on Guard Challenge 3. In this challenge you have to stand and block Akira's standing punch . Akira will then follow with either, +, or , or a low shoulder, I think the command is +, I don't play Akira, so I am not certain of the last command. You have to block 10 in a row to complete the challenge.

I do not know what to look for in order to tell whether he is going to do, +, or . He always gets me with that one. What am I doing wrong? What should I be looking for? What should I do to pass this challenge?

 

Re: VF4 Evo TACTICS ADVICE for all characters

No offence but that has nothing to do with this thread topic at all.

But seen as though I'm in a happy mood I'll tell you that exercise is about Fuzzy Guarding, essentially a technique of pressing (or /) in certain situations in order to duck throws but block mid attacks.

When Akira Punches you, you're at -1 frames wise and you can apply FG to neutral situations (0 frame advantage), -1 or -2. Part 4 deals with -2, part 3 is -1.

Basically when his punch hits you, you'll need to enter for a certain (quick) amount of time. This will ensure you duck his throw if he goes for it (8 frames) or block his dbpm (fast attack 13/14 frames from standing) as you rise from you little bob or if he goes for his slow LBF move just hold down .

It's been covered in far better detail on another thread so I'll try and locate it for you.

EDIT:

This is the thread you want:

LM_Akira.
You are right. That doesn't have anything to do with this thread. My apologies, momentary Brain lapse. Thanks for the advice, though. Next time I will start a new thread. But for now I will try to find the other thread you spoke of.

 

Fuzzy Guarding

The thread you want I've already posted a link to...it's underneath what I edited in my last post.
