Talim is deadly. she has the highest sidestep priority, followed by the crazy cirqe-du-soleil bitch with the giant chakram, and she's much faster at throwing a flurry of blows. not only do i play her, i play her very very aggressively. in your face like a bulldog, side-parrying everything like Dante in Royal Guard style. especially with the off-weighted pair of tonfa. i'm also not afraid to use her kick-step openers either, and i can even close on Mi-Na and Astaroth with her. Heihachi is the beast she has the hardest time with.

i also tend to keep Mi-Na in constant motion too, but that's way more of a space control issue. Talim's side steps are primarily defensive, bob and weave like Steve in Tekken while closing in, and always stay at one hip of the opponent or the other. Mi-Na tends to use side steps to corral an opponent with the reach advantage. the only drawback is a lot of her moves telegraph in advance, but she has a decent feign version of most of her openers (oddly, so do Misurugi and Cervantes). with the big boys, i tend to fence more with her pokes actually using the end of her weapon, to give me time to cancel out in-close. Mi-Na also has a pretty high grab priority, and a lot of her mid-range setups cancel very well straight into grabs if someone does get inside. Lizardman has a few nasty chains i've never figured out how to stop with her though.
Wow...

I'm not as good at this game (or any fighting game with this style) as I would like to admit. With that depth of analysis of characters, I'd imagine Whiskey would have my head in a battle.

But Smash Bros Melee is an entirely different pancake; I'll rip your shit up for sure in Melee.

Do you play Melee competitively? I never did, but I always thought I was pretty good at the non-wavedashing shit. Now I can't even really play it anymore. It's faster but so much clunkier.

Edit: That's an exaggeration. I can still play it, I just think that Brawl is a much smoother experience.

I've been trying to teach myself reflexive wavedashing and l canceling, but erasing parts of my old playstyle is very hard.

Not even owning a copy of Melee is also hindering progress a fair bit. Anyway, I would like to eventually play at a competitive level.


And fuck Brawl. I can't stand half of the new mechanics/physics.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT. Emulating Melee now, 100% emulation at 60 FPS during Classic mode. This shit is so awesome.

Now I really need a USB controller.

I plan on acquiring a PSX/PS2 emulator over Thanksgiving and playing the 50 or so Sony games I have never touched, so eventually I will.

This is only a temporary measure, though. I'll burn all the GCN isos I have to DVDs so I can play them on the Wii once I fix the disk drive.
