My set-up is being used so I doubt PS lobby will go up tonight.
Guess I can fuck around with RCT
If one isn't up after I eat I'll do it
I should be back in around an hour either way. Will gauge if there's anyone around then or not
Can somebody give me some good Hyde tips? Picked up the game a week ago, having fun and I really like the character but I feel a bit lost when it comes to pressure
Just put it up, pass is vee
As long as you're a beginner, long blockstrings are alright because anytime your opponent is blocking, you're bringing up an advantage with Hyde's chip damage.
Like damn near everyone else, Hyde's pressure can always cycle back to 2A to make himself safe off of most things. The usual reverse beat strings to go for would be anything involving 6B, 5[C], 3B, and then eventually to 2A.
Blockstring-wise, you'll be using fireballs and the first follow-up to give yourself space at the end of a combo, the 2nd follow-up if you have CS or meter to burn to close distance, and 22A/B. 66C is also incredibly long since it reaches really far and strings gaplessly into 22B
Play some more, figure things out, and then ask specifics
Thanks my dude I really appreciate it. I do have one specific to ask about
I play mostly with a friend who uses akatsuki, dude beats the shit out of me but I'm having fun. Thing is, whenever I try to go for any sort of risk, he keeps checking me with low jabs or things of that sort, so I have to keep my blockstrings tight which means he's never in any real danger, what do I do to make him more scared of mashing ?
He's not the kinda dude that mashes randomly, he knows what he's doing and only presses buttons on certain parts to make it so staggers don't actually hit him, am I just fucked because he has good defense?
Not him but sounds like a predictability issue more so. Try mixing up your pressure and rebeat timings. If he's just blocking all your shit then go for some grabs to keep him honest. Even if he techs them it's one more thing he has to be aware of. The more you learn your own tools the easier it'll get. It's easy to form bad habits early on
>any sort of risk
Elaborate, what exactly are you trying? Generally speaking, Akat's close-range button frame data will shit on Hyde's because all Hyde's got are his 5A (7 frames) and 2A (5 frames) while everything else is at least 8 and above. Akat has 7 frame buttons and neutral on block buttons with seemingly no gap.
You could always try to space him out, unless he's using his FF counter to check those, then you might need to put the fear of assault/throw pressure on him. This is especially strong on Hyde since he's got a really good backdash
>keep my blockstrings tight
You might need to vary things up. Do different sets of strings to lessen the chance he'll identify a gap.
>what do I do to make him more scared of mashing
Have you tried delaying your blockstrings? I understand the necessity in trying to keep it air-tight, but you could avoid going for 5[C]s and sometimes just do 5C to try and catch his attempts at poking out of.
Hyde's 3B has also been his one normal that gave him a load of delay between canceling into another normal or a special and clr gave his 2C some large delay windows too.
If you haven't already tried it in the corner, do that 66C > 22B, it's gapless and leaves you plus 1 unless they shielded. Another tactic in the corner is to catch jump-outs with 214B but incorporating rekka into blockstrings take some discipline since you need to time it perfectly to stay safe on the 2nd rekka or just use meter.
PC lobby when?
you should do it to see if your internet can handle it. I'd love to do it myself but shits been fucky lately on my end
How's PS lobby currently?
pclobby up but only 4 slots because im gay
I still cannot reverse DP inbetween pressure
3
Suppose I'll jump on there for abit. Thanks for the info.
Thanks a ton for the help my dude, I really appreciate it. Sounds like I'm just being predictable, I'll try to mix it up a bit more.
>Super to outlast super
Upsetti
>CS IW reversal to IW
Bummer hahaha
As an addendum, how jump happy is your akat friend. Hyde's 3C is one of the best AAs in the game and learning how to use it properly really rewards you. Akat in particular however has some incredibly risk-free air moves, phantom ranges out the ass, and has a double-jump/j2C momentum halt to fuck with your timing so it's a bit tougher to pull on him.
Adding on to the assault/throw bits. Learn how to TK the j236x because it's one of the best way to bait through throws
Oh and Hyde's 236C beats Akat's 236C
I wonder if Lond IW can outlast Vat's

You were right on the money, I try to anti-air him but he varies his jumps a lot, between his j2C, that moon kick he has, jB and the air fireball it's really tough to pull it off for me.
That might be something fun to test. They're both pretty long.
Might honestly just be safer to DP him at that point, or even IW to catch his j2C if he's directly above you
im sorry ryburi that my internet just doesn't want to be stable when i fight you. i can fight dread and haun just fine but when it's your turn my internet just says LOL NO
it's cool
It's probably more of the games netcode than our actual internet
This set-up is really making it tougher to play Hyde
I wish, but it's 100% on my end. Bottom is during out match, top is when out match ended. Further checks while in spectator are similar, as my fights with the other too
Trying something new? Watching and playing in the matches felt alittle more aggressive in mid-screen than usual (assuming this is hippie) which is fine by me.
No, just dropping my rekkas
Ah I suppose that did happen abit. Playing on a different monitor/TV perhaps?
The latter
I'd try to fix my timings if I wasn't already tired
If I had thrown that out a second earlier it probably would've missed hahaha
good taste in yuzu color
though the blue and white one is the best that one is close
