Oh god, I saw the funniest HnK juggles on Nico Video last night, namely by Mr. Heart and Rei. They came from these 2 vids on Nico Video:

I only saw parts of the first video but what I did see seemed absolutely ridiculous. I've never played the game but surely the engine is questionable when one character is playing basketball with the other from outside of the screen.
No I'm never serious.

Haha.

The basketball combos happen because ArcSys decided, rather than reducing hit stun as a combo progresses, to increase gravity instead. I guess they figured the guy getting comboed would eventually have so much gravity that it'd be impossible to stop him from hitting the ground, which is true. But I guess they didn't realize he could hit the ground so fast that the engine would toss him back up into the air again.

Probably wrong but someone said it was like a programming error? They're supposed to just drop and be done, but somehow that gravity number starts to go negative (which it wasnt really supposed to do) and thats when SUPREME BASKETBALL starts

Ok, I need some serious help in Sagat vs Blanka. I'm winging that matchup hardcore right now and I don't know any blankas to really help me learn it. Is his slide punishable on block? Do I just need to be safer with fireballs to make sure he doesn't slide under? are there any good ways to punish ex balls after blocking? I heard standing roundhouse beats ball, but I almost always end up in a losing trade when I try, am I timing it too late?

I'm pretty much a total scrub with Sagat atm, so any advice is helpful ^^

i dunno the matchup very well because...
i play as both sagat and blanka because i dunno who to main right now but i havent played the matchup.. i haven't played the game much yet but here's what i think:

the slide is punishable on block but its hard to do.
you might simply have to play it different than all the other matchups altogether.
and yes be safer with fireballs.
yes, roundhouse probably beats blanka ball. actually, have you tried (crouching?) jabs even ? zangiefs work.. i dunno about sagats.

and no there's not much ways to punish them as far as i can tell... you can make a fireball "trade" if you fire the fireball in such a manner that he hits the fireball while he's bouncing back but i dont think this is in your favor... try it and see though.
also, the kick ball that he does the backflip at the start and hits you from above, you can focus that one if you didnt know. my friend didnt realize the first time i played blanka and neither did i so i was in for a nasty surprise when he learned it by the next time.

you just gotta watch out because blanka's so easy to play... probably easiest in the game (its why i pick him lol)

Boo blanka, I have so much trouble against rainbow ball with Gief. So many of my lame tactics don't work against Blanka. Anyone have any tips on punishing wake-up lightning and rainbow ball spam with Gief? I've looked around but I haven't seen any matches with Gief against a good blanka lately.

which one is rainbow ball?

against the horizontal one lariat or just even jab just keep crouching jabbing erratically so they cant time between them if you're not doing anything... the other one is slow you have time to stop jabbing
against the one that comes from above focus attack and then i dont remember if you can just punish with that or if you just need to dash forward and combo or spd either way you can do it

once you get the life advantage you dont even need to attack really just defend and wait for timeout and it puts blanka out of his comfort zone

blanka got trained by michael vick but dont get intimidated

ahahahaha omg that flowchart is beautiful.

Thanks anotak for the info, don't know why I didn't even think to try jabs, sagats cr.jab is fast as all hell too (3 frame startup). Gonna take a peek at the frame data to see what punishes for slides might be possible. Will update hopefully with some ideas~

Punish slide with sweep at the very least. If for some reason he did it closer than that, low forward/short into whatever.
Just be smart with fireballs, once he gets into slide range (or has meter for EX ball) you can't just toss them out. I like to jump straight up and come down with j.forward if I know he doesn't have a down charge to EX vertical ball me (or if I don't think he'll do it anyways lol), very easy to punish a slide by doing that and it will make him more wary of just doing it and hoping you threw a fireball or walked backwards or something.

And yeah you can jab (EX) ball, easier with rapid fire jabs of course. s.RH does beat it but the timing is kinda hard since the ball moves pretty quickly.

-edit-
ugh AMAZON YOU FAGS "sorry we sent out all the TEs to people who ordered it 2 weeks after you oh I mean MadCatz told us the stick doesn't come out for another 2 weeks so your preorder will have to wait, here's a $20 gift certificate you can't apply to your preorder"
