You're definitely right, that saving the meter for a j.214C ender is better.  It was just a thought based on the idea of a 2C confirm.  If you have the meter to spare, might as well get some decent damage out of it, plus the swag factor (it's a fun looking combo for a weird hit like 2C since 214B doesn't connect).

So, I've come across an interesting thought.  She has a nice knockdown that uses 100 meter.  2A 2B 2C 214C 5A 5B 5C 3C 214A.  I've been playing with the idea of modifying that into one of her BnBs (whether its the standard BnB or a j.[C] loop.  I've gotten it to connect with the basic BnB: 5A 5A 5B 2B 2C 214C 5A 5B 5C 214B j.BC dj.BC AT that does 4644 damage after 18 hits with a net of -49% meter.  However, I'm not sure if it can be linked with the j.[C] loop.  5A 5A 5B 2B 2C 214C 5A 5B 5C 214B j.[C] dj delay j.[C] j.214A j.BC dj.BC AT.  The first j.[C] can connect, but I can't seem to get the second j.[C] to connect.  Is there too much gravity at that point?  Would it even be worth trying to get that extra damage out of it?  Connecting the 214C into the 214B j.BC gives more meter recovery than just using the hard knockdown ender (that is a net of -65.3%) and I would think a better position to keep up pressure (because of the corner air throw instead of just hard knockdown).  What do you guys think?  I'd look a bit more into if it I understood how to use the Framedisplay program better than I do currently.  That doesn't give us information about gravity.  Any ideas?

Thanks for the tips Tempered, I'll definitely have to try incorporating some of those and see what I can do about matching them together.

Hey everyone!  So, I've been playing MB:AACC for a few weeks now, and I've been trying to learn F-Sion.  For some reason, I'm really into playing her and her style seems to fit me.  However, I've been running into a little snag during my match-ups.  I understand the way that her combos work, after reading the wiki and getting some from a video from NthGenMedia, but her pressure game is sort of a mystery to me.  Once I get an opponent in the corner, I have a hard time keeping them there.  It seems as if a lot of her moves will push her out of the corner, and I'm left with only a few options to keep pressure on the opponent (such as 3C, 5C, and gunshots), but they all leave her vulnerable to a poke or a jump out.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I've watched some of Chest's videos, and I'll admit, I need to watch them a little more closely to grasp them.

Hey Roku!  I'm finally getting the courage to post something on the forums!  So I've watched your 3 Beginners Corner episodes (kinda sad I couldn't make it to the live streams  ) and I've really taken a lot away from them as a new player.  I appreciate all the hard work you've put into them so far and definitely am hoping that there are more to come (of course life comes first).  With that said, ever since the505 introduced me to the game, I've really enjoyed playing Full Moon Sion, but I keep running into a few snags with her, like continuing pressure and the like.  I'd love to see a special episode about her.  I can only get so much out of watching Chest and others play her in tourny games.  If it's too much, don't worry about it, but I'm sure you're awesome enough to handle it!

 

tl;dr: F-Sion special would be hype!  Thanks for all the hard work!

Hey everyone!  My name's Dave, I typically go by the alias Arl1x whenever I'm online.  I'm new to the MB scene, and new to the fighting genre really.  I never really liked fighting games (tried Street Fighter, Soul Caliber, and others) until the_505 introduced me to Melty Blood.  I'm not sure what's attracted me to this game, maybe its the "simplicity" of the game.  By simplicity, I mean the game is not centered around spectacular graphics in a 3d environment (Soul Caliber?) and it's not typical like Street Fighter or centered around mass marketing like Marvel Vs. Capcom and the like.  I'm located in Northern NJ, hence how I met the_505.  As for who I play, ever since he showed me the game, I was attracted towards Sion (not sure why, but I've come to love her play style), particularly F-Sion.  Like Jandr said in the post above, F-Sion doesn't have too much information, so tips are always welcome.  I've been getting a lot of my information from a mix of the PS2 wiki and a Youtube video by NthGenMedia.  Between watching some of Rokunaya's beginner podcasts and the_505 showing me the ropes, I think I'm learning the intricacies of the game pretty quickly (no where near good yet, but time will tell).  I'm also a keyboard player (don't have the money for a pad, stick, or hitbox) and I think I'm a bit better using the keyboard than anything else.  Any tips are welcome  .
