EPTEdit: Do not ONLY play with 1 or 2 people though. If you do it for too long you start playing with horrible habits. At least one of my friends is like that.

1. Combo practice. This is the most obvious. Practice your combos and improve your execution. To better learn the timing of your combos, set the training dummy to Auto Guard, which will make the dummy block every hit after the first if possible. If it's a true combo, the dummy won't be able to block at all. If the dummy does block, it means you didn't hit the next button in the combo quickly enough. If you're trying to cancel into a special move from a chained series of attacks and the special doesn't come out, then you hit the next button too early. 2. Hit confirming. In fighting games it is common to use normals that you throw out which you can then convert into a damaging combo. The act of hit confirming is to verify whether your test move actually connects before committing to finishing the combo. In training mode you do this by setting the training dummy to Random Guard. Since we're still sticking with Cody, try the combo c.lp c.lp c.mp xx HP Criminal Upper. If the dummy blocks the first c.lp, you probably won't realize it until your second c.lp is on the way, which is fine because that's just the reality of human response time, so you don't finish the combo. If the dummy gets hit by the first c.lp, you finish the combo. 3. Scenario practice. Using the Record/Playback settings, the training dummy executes everything that you manually record. If your target dummy is Ryu and you record forward throw, jump forward HK, you will be able to play that back and test how to best handle that and find which options work and which don't. You can test the training dummy throwing fireballs and seeing if you can react quickly enough to use Cody Ultra 2 (which travels through fireballs) in time to punish it. There are plenty of real-world scenarios that you can pull from your actual matches and they'll help you improve extremely quickly. | ||

You get so many in game opportunities to practice your combo. I can tell when people are ai trainers (new people) because their execution near flawless. Although training mode is better for initially executing your combo but when you need to implement it into your game the AI is the best bet imo. Everything else is good though. It seems if you want to be a well rounded player you must find the right balance. | ||

That said, he can be a OK choice to start with, he has good normals and big damage after all, but avoid getting too gimmicky or you will hit a plateau really fast. He has some of the most satisfying combos in this game imho, his counterhits into ultras and CH|cl.hp-cr.hp are massive, and some of the character specific tech is so beast, usually revolves around getting meaty hits during a combo he is so badass, fuck I wanna play some Cody now | ||

Oh yeah you're right, I got ahead of myself, it's counterhit-only. | ||

No idea what causes it or if it's even on my end, I've tried opening ports and reinstalling already. Doesn't even seem to be player specific as I can join someones lobby, play a game, then try to join the same player again and get stuck at sending data. Google search hasn't brought up much, any ideas as to what causes it/how to fix it? | ||

the only big disappointment is poongko and infiltration not attending / being invited? other noteable invites shoulda been fuudo, mago, and the evo champ of 2014 luffy. i don't know anything about who knuckledu, lpn or hamad is, unless someone else can fill me in. although i can't disagree with the JP invite slots, i don't think i would have changed it seeing as momochi is more relevant in my book along with tokido and xian. i really do wish there was 1 korean slot opened for invite, way too many na guys who are going to just get bodied very easily. 5 EG members is WAYYYYY to much. ricky ortiz and k brad aren't necessary. balrog, j-wong and momochi are the only contenders from EG. none the less i'm so hyped for basically a smaller-evo. what are your top 5 predictions? so far i've got momochi, gamerbee, tokido, snake-eyes and balrog top 5. i think daigo lost his edge, xian figured out, snake eyes still has that dark horse factor, gamerbee is almost always in winners top 5, tokido gets better with time, and momochi's ken is what i have my money on atm. | ||

Nuckledu is the only other Guile competitive with Dieminion (in NA/EU at least), and the first tournament he was in under the Liquid (Curse?) name he won by beating Snake Eyez twice in the grand finals. It was brutal. LPN is an all-around player, and that's probably his downfall. He can play nearly the entire cast competently, but not one character particularly well. Although, he's been "maining" Rolento as of late. Hamad I'm also unaware of, just going by the name. Maybe I'd recognize them on stream or something. | ||

When i went to cannes winter clash to play melee, i shared a room with leffen, infiltration and makenshi I also took some really hilarious video of infiltration doing a ton of goofy stuff whilst drunk on 9 beers (10 after we passed him another one) which i'll probably upload to r/kappa at some point lol | ||

even in dota 2 i generally follow what's current or the only team that's dominant / my favorite team, outside of that there's no need as news updates give me enough of an overview to who's a competitor. so with that being said, just cause some of these cats won an NA tourney, is not going to make me hop on their stream or watch the next small scale tourney. i do follow the japanese scene though, the NA is rare. can anyone here recommend some forum like liquid with a matchticker with SF events? i find shoryuken appalling and completely incomprehensible to navigate | ||

i will say thought i'm unimpressed with hamad. i mean i guess you can say he was facing against balrog and balrog is seasoned but, isn't everybody at this tourney? we'll see how he performs. but from what i see as a fei long player he sure plays passive, i don't want to call him a pussy but you lose if you don't play aggressive as fei. hamad is no where near a mago or fuudo where they'll always anti-air you, and if you're not those 2, you have no choice but to play aggressive. k-brad performing ALOT better than what i expected, but when you face snake eyes, you gotta roll the dice as well or he's going to pull through. i still got my bets on snakeeyes making it to top 5. sandford kelly not ever expecting much from him, i see him in bottom 16. xian also looks like he's figured out, his poison is no where close to his gen. tokido can't say much about his state cause he faced snake eyes. snake eyes just does that to people because of his fearless nature. but from what i see so far i don't think tokido is a strong contender this tourney, we'll have to see. i remember when he faced infiltration akuma vs akuma and got bodied, i couldn't take his akuma seriously ever since so he has alot to prove in my eyes. from the looks of it i don't think japan is winning this tourney, the only contender in my eyes is momochi for the throne, it will depend on what shape daigo is in but daigo seems more and more like a relic of the past every tournament he attends. i wish they got spooky over gooteks as a commentator, gooteks sounds like he's high and slow. edit: is daigo really sick? (no pun intended) the scheduling is all messed up, his matches aren't even vs the people he's scheduled for....like why was he playing kazunoko (not that i mind, as i'd rather watch that than him vs ryan hart) | ||
