I dont get how to combo >.>
« on: November 03, 2007, 04:42:23 PM »
Ok so basicly im someone who just got this game a few days ago and ive been playing the single player and against my friend who is better then me.  I am not sure how to realy do anything all i do is just button mash till im the last one standing or im dead.  Now im disturbed cause i loose a hell of alot especially online because i cant realy do combos except sometimes by accadent.  I got on the inernet and started searching for videos or some form of strategy i can understand.  Then i see on the Melty Blood wiki i see this like 2ABC and 5B and all this stuff and im all like ??? what does this stuff mean i guess the letters mean the fighting moves but what are the numbers?  :psyduck:  Then i see videos of people doing these insane finishing moves like nanaya's "slomo slash attacks" which i wanna learn so bad and by now im thuroughly confused.  I looked every where to see an explanation for these numbers but nothing so now im asking you guys WTF DO THESE FREEKIN' COMBO CODES MEAN!
Thank you i hope to get good at nanaya soon he is so cool.

Unfortunately, you can't change the default keys, but you can use key2joy or a similar program to fake a gamepad using the keyboard. 

The default keys that I recall are

K=AD
L=ABC
N=A
M=B
,=C
.=D

You're doing a double jump there, right?  IE jump C, doublejump BC.

Arc Drive inputs are a little tricky, practise your timing.

You don't have to corner your opponent to deliver the 2ABC 5C jB jC jumpcancel jB jC airthrow chain.

Im not comprehending this game i mean granted its like my 3rd day playing it but i play the arcade all the time and stuff and i dont get any better i have a hard tim beating ceil and kokaku on 3 dificulty and i see barily any improvement i mean i have no idea how to get any better at this game i finally learned how to do those like 214A,B,C and 236A,B,C combos and they just arent practical in battle especially combos.  The only thing i can realy do even against cpu's is like button mash my way to victory.  I dunno i like this game and its good in theory but its hard to get good at.  there should be a program that helps you get better Ex. O2mania for o2jam.  Or some sort of video tutorial with visuals on the fingers (because im good at copying finger movements )  cause i know how to do it in theory but it just dosent work.  I guess it would be better on the ps2 though cause those are the only fighting games im good at are console ones.  Japan needs to step it up in the fighting game practicallity department cause alot of the things you do in this game are not practical or fun some of the time and even if you know what buttons your pushing it seems like button mashing from a spectators view.  I bet the arcade one is better for this too.

Edit: BTW anyone wanna play a ragnarok private server im getting kinda bored and need friends to hang out with i mean there are on average around 470 people online but i want to be with friends.

You're kidding on the practicality, right? MBAC isn't too impractical IMO, I play it just fine

The way to become good in a fighting game is to practise, practise, practise. Button timings differ from game to game, so what you can get used to in game X may not feel suitable for game Y. Don't start pointing fingers at the developers just because you aren't good enough at the game.

Don't feel bad at losing to CPU Ciels/Kohakus - they're cheap bastards next to the CPU Nero.

If you need to feel good, pick up a character like Kohaku.

well i guess just something seems off i guess that timing thing is right but i dunno this seems like it will take longer to get good at then other fighting games like teken or soul calibur or even street fighter (and i mean realy good)  i mean it dosent seem like i spent that much time on those games im like a god at teken and SF but i dunno i guess i just get frustrated when i try to even get close to ciel and she keeps throwing those swords.  It realy pisses me off i mean i can beat her but she has the cheepest tricks in the book.  I just dont want it to take like years like halo did for me i mean i was like pro at halo 2 but it took me a couple of years before i got that good and i still have alot of my skill.  As long as it dosent take that long im good.

My advice for you is to improvise, just remember up-medium and up-strong, that's how I play my game as Nanaya, my strategy works wonders against Satsuki.

My strategy would be this : Down-Strong, Down-Medium, a few 5a, then a 5C and just do the jb, jc loop twice while dashing to the other side of the screen and throw them the other way after you do it a few times.

^ Combo sucks crap against the CPU Nero though. I freaking hate that guy, whether he's a CPU or a Human, damn jC..I got raped last time I went against him.

Btw, are there any tournaments online?

Cowless, if you play lots of other fighting games (you mentioned an arcade) then consider your input. Your problem might be related to using a keyboard? Look into a pad or arcade stick for your computer. Or, try out the PS2 version of MBAC. It's somewhat outdated but if you're having trouble using a keyboard it would be an option.

Tsukihime was turned into an anime series and that's probably what you saw.

Can we keep the dumb comments out of the strategy forums?

Thanks.

Yeah, I think that we need to seriously organize just a 'Combo Page' or something like some of the other strategy pages though.

Do you have any idea on what the actual input is for the 22C / throw / slash / whatever?

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you're asking.
Are you asking how to do his teleporting jumps/slashes?
