1.2 special combos

[Skiwan]

honestly, they are hard to just figure out, there is well over a thousand different combinations you can perform, you expect me to just stumble upon it? and whats more, is how is it unique? when will i tell that ive done it? and what does it do? seems pretty retarded to say "go figure"

That's where practice comes in, you should be rewarded for trying new things in melee other than button mashing... and this is the way of doing it.

d00d i would understand practice if we knew the movements and had to practice applying them into battle... This is literally like pick a number from 1 - 100. I mean you guys forget that you made the game, so i would hope you knew the combos. You still forget about us having to get the timing right, get the opponent in the position to do the combo and have a contingency plan if he blocks 2 or more of the moves that are needed. I think there is enough practice there without adding a guessing game to it...

"That's where practice comes in, you should be rewarded for trying new things in melee other than button mashing... and this is the way of doing it."

ok lets see, we have many possiblities of how many are there.... 2-10 keys, so thats a range of 8, with 8 possible combo directions, and multiply it by punch/kick, then how about if u do strong weak and medium attacks, wait a sec, there is so many possible creations of combo's i doubt that if i sat for 2 days straight typin in combo's i would end up getting it right.... i really dont understand how you could figure them out, it seems ridiculous to me

 

[Ultima2_freeze]

8 directions... x2 attack types (punch kick).... x3 attack strengths... = 48... The only hard part would be putting them in the correct order... but oh yeah, seeing how you get to put in 6 or so directions each time you try to melee someone... (which doubles your speed and chances of finding a 3 key string combo) ... And combined with the use of common sense... oh wait, not to mention 2 days straight.... which would be 48 hours... assuming you can get into 100 (although im certain it is more than this) melee fights an hour... that gives you 100x48 which = 4800 chances to get it right.... which I am also certain is well.. well above what you need to get it...

^^ Basically that means the whole 2days straight thing and still not being able to do it is undeniably mathmatically incorrect. :|

And i'd care to wager you could figure out any combo for anygame in under 5 days (1 hour worth of playing a day).

 

[Cheeto101]

actually....theres a hella lot more combos then 48....you forgot to multiply in how many different times you can enter in an arrow. and I think its to the power of...not multiplying, Buuuuttt I dropped math for a reason. So maybe your right.

But theres alot more then 48...I could list 50 off the top of my head no prob...but i wont waste your time with that

"^^ Basically that means the whole 2days straight thing and still not being able to do it is undeniably mathmatically incorrect. :|"

you got you're maths all wrong buddy, trust me, i got an A at gcse..... the possiblitily of getting it correct is well over 1 in 500 chances

 

[Ultima2_freeze]

I never said there were 48 combos.... simply 48 possible attacks.



"you got you're maths all wrong buddy, trust me, i got an A at gcse....."

Well I got an F in algebra, but I got an A in 9th grade english.
You're = You are


by the way... 48x8 directions = 384... still well below 4800.


1 in 500 isn't mathmatically impossible.

People who actually know combos have a tendency to spam them on you. Just watch the arrows and figure it out. There's only two right now, and they work same for every character. There's no uber frieza overdrive combo or anything either...

 

[jdawg224]

if you play street fighter, then you will know the special combos :laff:

 

[Ultima2_freeze]

Yeah, it's that simple. If someone tries to do a combo on you after a while you should figure it out. >=^D might be how i know now...

 

[Skiwan]

woah ultima2 freeza, im not saying your stupid or anything, neither is this a personal thing, im just stating that your wrong, sorry "you're", but i got an A in english litrature and a B in language, and i live in britain, where they teach "real" english (no offense but its where the language comes from)

"48x8 directions = 384... still well below 4800." your forgetting about every possible order, every possible attack power in that order every number of attacks that could be in that order with each power, all make the odds much higher than 384, its a bit more complicated than just multiplying, you forgotten all about formulae, the method u are using is wrong. It'd take me a while and sum effort to work it out (i could do it but im vry slow) and i cant be arsed, im sure there are people here who could for you.

you just said the most sensible thing all day man... why the hell didnt i think of that. Bots dont do combos though. Atleast i never see a blue combo thing light up.


I am a bit confused though. I know (think) one of the combos is the one where you get into the melee struggle and win. Is that right, or are these combos soley based on the configuration of the arrows?

 

[Ultima2_freeze]

That would be why I said I got an F in math ole chap.

You gots me all 7's and 8's...

Mathematical errors aside, point being it's totally possible within 2 days.. if not a few minutes. With all the ways to speed up your chances of finding the combo, combined with hints from players using the combo on you I think it's very possible.


And by the way, *real* english is the equivalent to *raw* fish.

When in combo set-up phase *when pushing the arrows* my down button counts as an up. Meaning when i press my down arrow, it shows up as an "up" arrow instead. I asked my friend what does he press for that particular button, and he replies with "the same button i use to back up with." Well the down key is my back button, yet it still shows on the screen that i'm pressing up. Any suggestions?
I hope my Question didn't confuse anyone, lol

"And by the way, *real* english is the equivalent to *raw* fish. " lol, nah just makes it easier to comunicate when ur language isnt dumbed down >_< lol

i dont think it is possible, because i cant even tell what the combinations are ment to be special for, they just look like the rest, and i doubt i could do it in a few mins, cuz ive been playin this game for about 4-6 hours in total and not cum across anything i considered to be special >_<

 

[Hitokiri]

Better check your binds? I have no idea.

I am a bit confused though. I know (think) one of the combos is the one where you get into the melee struggle and win. Is that right, or are these combos soley based on the configuration of the arrows?

The combo that plays when you win a melee struggle is in fact one of the combos you can do normally, if you figure out the right directions. It's always that combo.

 

[Ultima2_freeze]

The only real reason I would see it as being hard to figure out a combo would be this..

It gets to the point where the only time you will ever miss a beat in advanced melee is when u see a random... as such if someone ever does pull a combo on you its because one of those keys that is in the combo is random. And if it's random you can't figure it out so easily.

But you could always bait a good player and just not block anything and remember the keys as they go along. Eventually they will use a combo if not on the first try.

 

[1nsane_MfB]

Well i got a still little question, for those of you who got the combo's right, one of the combo's i got from a friend contains 2 downward green punches, but i cant push it 2 times it just continues the attack to strong one exept for making it 2x down? how do i press 2 times down after eachother, (go try to push down 2x to make green attacks...) and tell me how u do it plz...

 

[imported_mysticssjgoku4]

where they teach "real" english (no offense but its where the language comes from)

That is why USA is far more advanced in literacy and in everything else Britain is not...
At least we dont sit around on corners drinking tea talking like 18th century freaks.
Haha, what is REAL english anyway, if you want to get scientifical about it...
They are both "Real" because both of them exist and both are used repetitively through the generations..

Anyway, i guess my post was edited, nvrm then.
