That isn't a solution. If you are waiting until it crosses the whole screen and jabbing it you are letting them in entirely.

"Among other things". I'm just illustrating how fragile it is. You can use other normals, or s.hp and late cancel into lp or mp gun, or toss a George and teleport, or fake teleport+item drop. How about hold an item, s.lp/s.mp/whatever, cancel into fake teleport+item drop release? Or maybe cancel into lp gun xx Argus, then release the drop to cover the gap, if they blocked.

I shouldn't have to go through this much effort to defend my character, but the level of play I've seen most other Peacocks has been disappointing, so it's understandable. Even players with good strategies don't do optimal combos.

Jet Set Dizzy

Yeah, but most of those options still give up ground. Fake teleport+item drop is a good idea but is still going to let the opponent move in some. Real teleport is risky as heck but you could do it every once in a while I guess.Maybe use s.HP and cancel that into teleport/fake teleport?

Depends on the player's proximity to the bike. Some people will move ahead of it, so you back teleport right into it. I was suggesting s.hp, for situations where the opponent is already in pseudo lockdown. Keep them in place and deal with the bike, rather than jump and let them in for free. I'm not terribly concerned with teleport, as long as I have a way to make them block or prevent them from getting a clean hit.

I could write more about what she can do at closer ranges, but this should go in GD.

Well, the stream stability leaves a little something to be desired. Here's to the replays!
I noticed it saved the end of that Severin/Trace match (Also noted that Sev is using the Mitsuru Parasoul alt). Is this the patched game version? Or some sort of in-between.

Crofts and Grinta had some very nice Filias! Good to see since it always seemed like not many people play her

That will probably be one of the pay for DLC colors.

Pretty good.

Hello everyone.

I haven't been practicing this game at allll. I regret that now. I'll try and play it more if I can, though I remember that I kept getting pressured by Valentine players and never knowing what to do. I still play Filia.

I had a good feeling he'd be finishing pretty high. I played against him for a few hours at UFGT8 and the kid really knows his characters. His Filia is top notch. Nothing wasted with her, and superb positioning and movement.

Oh hey, a new kinda-sorta GD! Let's try to be relatively not stupid. I just saw this thread today, so here are some extremely late replies to a couple of posts I see:

A lot of the ask blogs have slowed down. Mine (peacock) went on hiatus for a month, mostly because of IRL issues, but it's still alive. Think of it as being on a VG cats update schedule.

And... I have a fairly reliable strategy for beating Marie on Ridiculous... with Peacock. It involves lots of cheesing it, and a lot of luck, because Peacock is good at cheesing it and Marie is a cheating bastard haha. It's a completely different approach than a normal fight...

Spoiler:

First form: jump, qcf.hp, jump, qcf.hp, lather rinse repeat. Hold back and pushblock as if your life depended on it. When you see those huge battering rams coming at you, stop what you're doing and jump over it, because that thing hurts. When you've got decent meter built up and the screen is relatively clear of skulls it's safe to hit her with an Argus Agony.

When she goes into her second form, immediately Argus before she gets a chance to start attacking. Marie hates it when you switch sides on her, which plays perfectly into Peacock's teleport. It's best to time your teleport right after she attacks; put a George bomb on the screen, block, teleport and hope for the best. Marie has some ridiculous moves in her second form so you have to be careful... If you get lucky you can pull off an Argus but I don't count on it.

3rd form is where all hell breaks loose. Marie throws everything but the kitchen sink at you relentlessly, and if you mess up you are SOL. I didn't realize this before, but... for some bizarre reason, you can pushblock Marie back even when she's got a tiny hitbox and is hovering 3 feet above your head. :U

Ok. So I use that to my advantage. When she first starts going into 3rd form I start charging an item drop, sit back and pushblock her out of my face. If I get an opening, I charge another item drop. If I get lucky, the lv. 3 drop is a Tenrai-Ha, which does a shit ton of damage. That's where it's kind of a gamble. When she'[s at low health, I pushblock her to the other side of the screen, teleport behind her and attempt to shotgun her to death.

It's kind of a noob strategy, but it does work for me.

Now to the other characters... ;-;

Also those EVO aftermath photos are great. The envelope art is pretty snazzy to boot. Annie related ones are my fav

Inxplotch

8th place envelope is top tier :P

If only parasoul could have an actual Annie alt.
And I think the mitsuru color is one of the 3 free patch colors. I feel like i saw it when Mike was showing of the patch on a stream. (which reminds me, do we know if the patch's been submitted yet?)

Argh, I'm going to be in a bad mood all day now. I can't believe how terrible people are sometimes.

Dime_x

yeah that sucks so hard, i got my first te stolen at one of the first wednesday night fights at shgls house... i grabbed a stick i thought was mine, it ended up being ps3, i gave it back to the owner the next week... but my stick was nowhere to be seen... someone had to know that they had procured and extra stick or that hey had one after never having one. i learned my lesson, but yeah the fgc is unfortunately full of some grimy broke motherfuckers that will steal anything that isnt locked down, shit gets stolen from evo all the time... i personally support a LIFETIME ban on anyone who steals shit and gets caught, banned form this site from evo and all evo related events and of course be reported to the cops.

never let any of your shit out of your sight and ALWAYS have it clearly marked with your name unless its custom.

common sense, but it shouldnt be like that, it just is what it is.

Yeah, you have to very careful at events with your stuff sadly

How hard is it to time Marie out in Ridiculous? I remember doing it in Normal with Peacock and lowering her health to the threshold of stage 1 before holding down-back, teleporting, and jumping over things.

Yes...GD is back (barely heard about it)

loved the 7th and 8th place envelope artwork having Annie of the Stars influence ^-^. I would actually go two character ratio(rest of the cast did not fit my personal preference from an aesthetics perspective) to join Filia if she ever comes.

As the off topic thread, I just want to point out that Infiltration blew my mind.

Also the Marvel finals were crazy dramatic (And I'd say more consistently entertaining than some surprisingly one sided AE matches)

That being said, I resolve to solve all corner disagreements with overhead xx Raging Demon.

Msubs got like...the first season....which I need to finish. Only about 8 episodes left. Eiji is a smart motherfucker.

IIRC they have 25 episodes down and there are about 40. Just checked. 24 of the 40, with 25 being a recap they aren't doing right away. There are apparently 3 OVAs that turn the 28 episodes into 2 episodes, with the 3rd OVA being the ending. That's intense. Gonna have to watch that after the full thing is translated.

I even have a figure of Layzner he's so cool.
We need to play some. Now that EVOs done and there won't be constant streaming it'll be all smooth and shit.

Question: The patch isn't gonna have multiplayer lobbies is it? (I think I remember it being mentioned that it wasn't gonna be in).

I'm getting a replacement 360 soon and I was thinking of getting SGs on there, but it might not be worth it if I still have to invite my friends one at a time. I already have it on PSN, but it's been dead on there AFAIK and only a couple of people I know personally have it on 360.

Lobbies unfortunately has been confirmed it won't be included in the upcoming patch(Which is something Skullgirls really needs if they want a healthy Online playerbase). However,their will be several additions/tweeks to online mode though if that means anything
