I think 6K is gonna be good once people start blocking the overhead card. A multihit low with the threat of a fast overhead seems pretty good.
@alexanderdenison2950
Жыл бұрын
Multi hitting lows are also killer in strike throw mix, because the second hit is really good at fucking with people's fuzzy jump/back dash/throw tech etc. Basically any auto timed defense is much harder to do with a double hitting low involved. That's a huge part of why gio has such killer strike throw, because 2S exists

What i like to do is change spells or cast the "long time casting" spells in the air like the staff ones, he freezes a bit when you do and most of the time the opponent can't punish properly, its a good way to manage your resources (I play on floor 10/Celestial). Also for the staff spells that change the direction of your cubes, it will actually make the opponent go in that same direction, i get to do like a reverse corner carry to my side some times and its really cool looking

I think full import is also one of the best spells in test case 1, during combos instead of canceling into bookmark to replace the spell you can cancel into recover mana and still combo and once you're finished you can either cancel the final spell into full import for a full hand or cancel the last normal into it spending less mana and getting more back overall. You can kinda do the same with it in blockstrings and use it to go ham with better mixups and if it doesn't work out restock with full import. Finally any counterhit combo where you have the lightening cube you can change test case use another spell or two in the combo and finish with full import to cycle into the new case quickly and then cancel back into test case 1 and hopefully have some useful spells to work with (potentially top decking exodia or other powerful combis without having to commit meter or scramble with the test case if you pull some awkward spells)

Yeah it’s not just after “the exodia” even after using a test case for too long you might consider changing test case. Like in IRL card games you need to do a bit of “card reading”, you using test case 3 and seeing too many attack cards? Well that means there aren’t many more in the deck, might wanna switch.

5:25 The burst here from the Ram was actually really smart.

Teleport isn't good raw, but is great for combo extensions from midscreen or left-right mixups with the lockdown metrons. TC 3 has the 5 cube metron spells, the slow hovering multihit one, the one that fires in 2 bursts, all of which offer opportunities to teleport while they're in blockstun. I imagine teleporting after a 5H or 6H hit will set up combos too.

Some great gameplay, I add my two cents, because I wish I was a professional backseat gamer. 1. Your gameplan includes too much zoning. When you fought Bongo, the Ramlethal, he just started airdashing at you. I already saw that your anti-air game is insanely good. But throwing spells in melee will on average lead to losing situations, because they are that weak. Spells from deck 1 have rarely good payoff and leave you open for a long time. Especially against Ramlethal where she can throw a sword on reaction almost and will start to win neutral. 2. The more the other player rages, the more likely you are winning. Your match against Kyron_Dudebro was an impressive showcase: He was confused in the first rounds, because you overwhelmed him. But when he started to play aggressive, you faltered. And when you went into melee range, without many resources, the odds were in his favor and he abused your aggressive play. 1:48:23 for a timestamp. Asuka should use oki to replenish, just like HC. The best Asuka players tend to take their time, relatively speaking. 3. I think test case switch is a bait. Every test case shares some of the same spells. But every case has some advantages. Currently, I think that test case 3 is op, but that is just my personal opinion. Now I go for the boxing analogy: There are south paw and orthodox stand which are just mirrors. They are not inherently better than each other, but they have the potential to confuse the other boxer. Yet it is rarely successful, because the mental stacks it creates for the user is larger than the mental stack for the other player. If you are not 100% able to play Asuka completely fluid and like a flow chart, it is a self nerf. I would use knockdown to switch my test case once and never look back. And especially switch as early as I can. 4. Otherwise, you are doing extremely well and the rest is just practice. Maybe I am completely wrong, but I like to share my strats/want to interact, because people may disagree and discussion creates new strats for me to copy :D

Safe does not always equal good. Pressing the advantage by using the speed of health recovery is far better than the slower tension recovery if you're ahead in the match, and honestly, with strive damage, whether you have 50% or 30% you'll probably die in one combo.
