Affinity Needs More Critiques! - 12/27/08 vids

Affinity · Dec 29, 2008

Alright, so I recorded some matches with Steeler's Charizard w/ the "No Fatigue" and "No Switch on Death" hacks on. They're good matches IMO; let me know what you think!

All critiques/comments are more than welcome

The D-airs caught me so off-guard lol

Note 2: Charizard with these hacks on is a much more difficult match-up than you'd think. Flame-thrower, Rock Smash, and his godly grab range make it hard to space well. He can also KO MK at pretty low %s. Try to keep this in mind while watching the vids.

Thanks

I didnt watch all of the vids but I did see a few of them and all i can think of right now is to maybe throw in like one pummel into each of your grabs before throwing.

At least watch the 6th match; probably one of the best ones.

Affinity is a video spammer! <reports spam posts>

<3 Steve-o, I'll watch them when I get the chance dude.

interesting matches, but I can't find the location to get the cheats for PT. that should definitely be tournament legal though.

never again should u even think about gliding into a rock smash or d-air. you kinda abused tornado a little too much

Note 3: No johns.

Nice collection of vids, I'll see if I can come up with any critiques after I've watched them all (assuming that happens).

I just watched the 1st one, I will watch the rest later.
To the first match: Use FAir much more, you nealry never use it, why? Its one of MKs best approach and damage make moves. And dont use Nair instead of Fair. Use Nair only, if you can double hit your opponent or use it to kill (not to make damage).

And walk more (not running, walking). Walking on the ground is like spacing in the air. You can use it in combination with your ftilt, so that your enemy is far away from you, when you FTilt him.

Your normal gameplay seems to be really good, but your approach could be better.

Look at M2K approaching and using the walk in this match.

The combo stuff/follow ups, which you do are good.

watched the 2nd:
good, you are using fair much more in this ^^
Dont dsmash after every spot dodge/drill rush/whatever. When your opponent has got low % and cant move because of his attack lag better use FTilt.
Only use dsmash, if your % are very very high (if you get killed the move automatical refreshs), because it should be fresh to kill your enemies.
Its more a kill than a damage making move.

If you try to hit your opponent offstage, he mostly expects Dairs. Mix it a bit with Fairs/Bairs and Uairs.

How fast does Fatigue set in? In other words, how representative are these videos of the capabilities of PT's Charizard?

Infinitysmash · Dec 30, 2008

You're applying what we talked about at Oh Snap at lot better than you were before. I can't really say much just from watching a handful of videos rather than playing you, but you're being less predictable and using your options better than before. Try working grabs and grab options into your game more and you'll see significant improvement.

Affinity · Dec 30, 2008

Thanks for the critiques so far guys. Keep them coming.

Wow, steeler is pretty good. Btw, so is squirtle if he practices a bit.

Haha vid 5: whipping out your secondary? You seem to be a big fan of Nair, which is fine; just be sure to mix it up a little. Also, when DI'ing the flamethrower, just get out of there ASAP instead of going for a nair/dair (I'm pretty sure I only saw it in one vid).

I liked the glide cancel behind Charizard to dsmash. Maybe try a pivot grab there?
Good grab game.

Very solid MK.

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

<3

also the reason affinity "abused" tornado so much was because it was harder to gimp him out of it than out of shuttle loop. <3 zard's gimp gamez.

edit about the questions of normal charizards in tourney play:

don't worry. charizard can't be as aggressive off stage as i was in some of those videos. a mistake will mean charizard can't come out to play for a while...squirtle does "okay" in this matchup and ivysaur is stupid. charizard is way too valuable in the matchup, so expect the charizard to play it safe.

**** pt's faulty mechanics

Affinity · Jan 5, 2009

Anymore critiques?

No fatigue Charizard? That's way too dumb. He would be so good. I didn't wanna watch. His grab is too good (best in the game) and I wish a character with no dumb fatigue system had it.

wtf? lol

TKD knows what he's talking about

yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby

Both PT and Metaknight were good! The matches just got a bit boring from you guys only playing on battlefield and Yoshi's Island. It would of been more interesting if you played on different stages.

lol Wow, I hadn't noticed that until now. I have FD, BF, SV, YI, and PS1 on random; that's strange that I would get YI and BF so many times.
