Reno (Lion, Wolf, Goh) Video Thread

Re: Taka-Arashi vs. Pai, Jacky

Rofl, note to self, do not do a getup kick off of that toss throw in the second round. Spacing for that is too good for you to do that uppercut move.

For characters lighter than Lion, 33P+K, 1PP, K+G, P works as a combo every time. For the females, 33P+K, 1PP, 6KPP does more damage though. For everyone else, 33P+K, P, 6P+KPP is your standard combo.

Also, to change the weather in Dural's stage (only Dural's stage, mind you), you have to hold Start and a direction while picking the stage. only the challenger can change the weather, while the champion can change the BGM.

 

Why Taka's RAW is crap

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RKSW19e5USU&fmt=18"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RKSW19e5USU&fmt=18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

This isn't a major reason why Taka is ranked as D class, but it's just one argument for why he's there.

Check Round 3 and when Taka does his RAW (b+PKG) stance. Note the damage is 71 because Aoi tried to attack while I hit her. Had Aoi done her regular move instead of going into a cancel into attack, she would've hit me out of my RAW auto attack. Go to Round 4 and see what happens when that is the case. I successfully RAW Aoi's attack but I get hit out of it because she just keeps hitting me. Now, this would be okay with me if the RAW negated damage when the auto-attack fails, but since it saps Taka's health whether it's successful or not, there seems to be no real benefit to using it as many times as I did on a regular basis. Really the only characters this move can be effective against are ones that are single attack-based, like Akira.

Also, you'll notice for all female characters, 33P+K, 1PP, 6KPP is a guaranteed combo, and optimal damage against female characters. Against mid-weight males, 33P+K, 1PP, K+G, P seems to be optimal. Against heavies, 33P+K, P, 6P+K, PP is best.

 

Re: Why Taka's RAW is crap

Thanks for the info Reno~
I can't wait to see how Taka works under my hands!!!
Maybe next time Taka will belong to "S" rank I guess~~

 

Re: Why Taka's RAW is crap

taka is a tank wtf! but yea i can see what your getting at when fighting Sarah and her doing her stance,i dont really see a pattern to really like shove her to the side! i know by one video you overcome it with a hard slap! like you just push her.

 

vs. Brad, Taka

Couple of new vids... I realized that honestly, I'm not that good with Goh, so I decided to stop playing him and pick up a totally new character, one that I always wanted to play since VF3, and that's Aoi. But first, a Taka vid!

I should've won this match completely in round 4, but I goofed on the combo and did 6P+K,PP instead of 6KPP which should have ended things I think. Instead, Brad got back up and won round 4 and then 5 fairly handily.

I've dabbled with Aoi in both VF4 and 5 but I was kind of intimidated by her complexity. I figured that since my Taka has been up at around 7th Dan for a while now, that I should start learning some new characters, and what better character to learn than her? She's really fun to play although sometimes I have noooo idea what to do, haha.

I'm convinced that I was given this fight after I won two rounds.

 

Re: vs. Kouchan

Haha~
btw, who is that someone was singing on the end of each fight??

 

Re: vs. Kouchan

I think you honestly earned them and he was second guessing himself on the final round. It happens to all players strong/decent/weak. Defintely good eye on the raw and goodmixups. Btw, does taka's 2k on mc give you + to pressure a mixup? Anyway, good shit and keep the vids rolling cause I love watching.

Peace^-^

 

Re: vs. Kouchan

Dennis: That was the Lion's item doll... it sings at the end of each round and at the end of the fight.

Kaminari: I'd like to think that but it seemed a bit off from the type of play I'm used to from someone like Fuumin. Most of them I haven't talked to but they know me well so the tendency to freeze up like that is very rare, especially against someone like me, who isn't on their level. I don't know how much frames you gain/lose off of 2K with Taka, but I can tell you that in that video you quoted I didn't use 2K there. What I used there was Taka's P+K+G -> K, which tech crouches and hits low. His regular 2K looks more like Goh's 2K from VF5 vanilla.

Brad's ducking stance goes under Taka's RAW auto-counter. Oh boy.

Promotion match to 8th Dan

 

Re: vs. Brad, Wolf

That Shun player sure is part of the holiday season. Congrats on Taka's promotion to 8th Dan.[/size]

 

Shibuya Tour

I was in Tokyo for the weekend meeting friends, and while waiting for friends on both Saturday and Sunday I stopped by both Club Sega Shibuya and Hi-Tech Land Shibuya.

The fight against Aoi was during a qualifer for KSIV that I randomly joined. I placed third (lost to a Vanessa player who eventually won) but I got a snazzy 5R card holder for my trouble.

Re: vs. Akira, Lei-Fei

That last match was fantastic Reno. That Lei definitely did NOT wanna get thrown, and you pulled it out anyway. Nice match.
