THE HISTORY OF LAWS LEGEND KICK cutcc 2024-03-21 | To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Law's Legend Kick, here is an unnecessarily long history lesson about his DSS F+4. Apologies if I go off on too many tangents & ramble too much-- Got extremely lost in the sauce while doing research for this. But hopefully the Law enthusiasts out there can appreciate this video. If not, that's ok--I just had a lot of stuff that I wanted to share and get off my chest lol. On the bright side I did learn a lot and made some interesting discoveries/theories.

On leverless though.....it kinda feels like I'm cheating lol. iWS+3 is crazy consistent on hitbox--crazy enough to make a video on it. The precision + ability to make discrete inputs makes hitbox perfect for the d,df,n motion.

T7 | How to do Bryans Gatling Rush (Blue Spark) without getting Arthritis cutcc 2023-11-18 | Here I try to demonstrate (On Stick & Pad) ways do the inputs for Bryan's Gatling Rush string in a consistent and efficient manner. The efficiency is the important part because we don't want to injure our hands in the process of mastering a fighting game technique--that's just counterproductive. Doing the Gatling Rush successfully has eluded me for many years now. But after sitting down and looking more critically at how it works, I've found it's not that difficult to do--it just requires the right approach (a calm and consistent rhythm). I do acknowledge that it's easier because I'm mapping a button as 1+2--but I feel it's important to do since Gatling Rush requires inhuman speeds without button mapping. It's actually pretty fun to do once you get the hang of it--now I know why LowHigh attempts it every chance he gets lol.
Siddhartha Chapter 3 : Gotama cutcc 2023-11-13 | Narrating the 3rd chapter of Siddhartha by Herman Hesse — Hilda Rosner translation.Now it's been 4 years since the last chapter =p (Guiness World Record for procrastination). Funny thing is I actually finished recording the remaining 9 chapters a couple months ago. But when I began editing the audio in September I noticed a weird electronic humm in all the recordings. I've been experimenting w/ a new XLR mic (AKG P420) connected to a Tascam DR40X Recorder—and I suspect it might be because I connected the DR40X to my wall outlet instead of a computer. You can hear the electric humm in this video but I like how this recording came out so I didn't want to scrap it. Therefore I'm going to upload the 3rd chapter but redo the rest from scratch so there's no electronic hum. This means more work but I think in the long run it's the way to go. I still have a lot of things I need to improve in terms of narration/enunciation & audio post processing. We're gonna get there though =).
How To Train Your REACTIONS in Fighting Games cutcc 2023-10-30 | Providing some examples of how to setup recordings in practice mode to train one's reactions.

Hopefully in the future we can share our recordings for other people to practice--kinda like Combo Recipes in Guilty Gear Strive or custom levels in Mario Maker.

T7 | THE SIDEWALL (Part 1) cutcc 2023-10-07 | The Side Wall Splat is an extremely complicated subject because there are so many variables that you need to consider. This is why you don't see people make guides about it. This is my attempt at doing just that, by replicating one controlled situation again & again for the entire cast and seeing if I can find any patterns (Thank goodness for the Tekken Overlay position Save State feature lol) Although I've discovered some interesting/helpful tech, ultimately the rules concerning the Sidewall are way too complex to generalize in one short video. I have a lot more things I want to talk about in regards to Side Wall Splats--but I'll do so in future videos once I can organize my notes. In the meantime, this introductory video will serve as the beginning of our discussion, so feel free to comment down below on what you currently know about the Sidewall. Is it possible to be consistent in converting off a Sidewall in any situation? Only time & experimentation will tell.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: Street Fighter EX 2 Plus OST Amusmentive Crime 2youtube.com/watch?v=KaIjL1AcaDc
Calculated Mashing : A Statistical Approach (Fighting Game Match Analysis) cutcc 2023-09-29 | A wise man once said. "For every Smart thing you do, you gotta throw in a Stupid option to remain Unpredictable" . To always play smart is to have tunnel vision, so doing something irrational sometimes is good because it lets your brain be creative. (I think Alex Valle said this quote)Having a good sense of Abare, of knowing when to challenge rational actions with rewarding risky play is what I feel separates the average player from advanced players. Being able to capitalize on those mashes and turn the momentum swing into comebacks is what makes you truly world class.The X-Factor of calculating the risk/reward of your mashes allows you to dictate the pace of the match and create psychological openings that normally wouldn't exist.Hopefully you guys enjoyed this type of video & can look at fighting games from a different perspective. Also remember to take what I say with a grain of salt--Statistics is the easiest thing to manipulate and abuse =).
T7 | BEAR-SPECIFIC WALL COMBOS (For The Entire Cast) cutcc 2023-07-15 | When it comes to Bears, you cannot assume that any wall ender will work--you have to vigorously test it in a variety of situations. This is because Bears have a completely different hurtbox than Jack, Marduk & Gigas. So your choice of wall ender isn't just a matter of preference, your combo could switch sides, or worst, completely miss, allowing the Bear player to stage an unnecessary comeback. Fortunately, I took the time to compile a list of Bear-Safe combos for the entire cast. One interesting thing I found is that a combo might seem fine after a wallsplat, but still create problems when wall carrying (the more common way to do wall enders)--which reinforces my initial point--you have to test your combos a lot.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SOURCES:Eliza Stuff: bilibili.com/video/BV1fJ411e7wQKing Stuff: youtube.com/watch?v=xLZ3cu3GUd4Kuni Stuff: youtube.com/watch?v=Sl6GQsJFGsELars Stuff: youtube.com/watch?v=EOu9QbZQU8oDragunov Stuff: youtube.com/watch?v=8x6WX6_rER4-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: KOF 2000 - Inner Shade Arrangedyoutube.com/watch?v=IW112GCOGVc-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who Is Laws Best Tag Partner? (At The Wall) | TTT2 cutcc 2023-03-01 | There may not be an objective answer to this question. It boils down to, "What do they allow Law to do? And how practically?". Ideally during the Tag Assault Filler (TA Filler), you want to push the opp away from the wall to "Reset the Wall Hit Count". This allows Law to get an additional Ufn4 or Uf+43 to an opponent before you resplat at the wall. Then you can do SSR F+43 DSS F+3 (Against small body characters substitute this with Double Somersault). If you can't do this optimal combo route (which is the case the majority of the time) the next best thing would be to do a 2-3 Hit TA Filler and then end with Law's WS+3 DSS F+3 (Double Somersault against small bodies). The next best thing after that would be simply Double Somersault. You can squeeze more damage out of these routes if after wallsplatting, you either SWL D+23 to resplat, or you SSR F1+2 to TA!, but combo in an off-axis right tendency (To "Reset the Wall Hit Count"). Each of these methods change the ender that Law is able to do afterwards since the opp wall slumps much faster the more hits you tack on to the Tag Assault combo. The essential takeaway is that you should not judge a TA filler by just its pure damage alone. Take into account how it synergizes with the TA ender afterwards, and also factor in the context of how the combo began. For example, if you wall carry successfully and then Tag Assault, obviously you can't resplat/reorient so you should minimize the # of your TA fillers/enders to avoid a fast wall slump. Sometimes a single hit TA filler does less damage in the beginning, but it allows Law to do so much damage afterwards that it becomes worth it. Sometimes it's better to front load the combo with many hits in the beginning and end with a single move ender--it's all about context.Another takeaway is that you can make any team work in Tag 2. You just have to experiment and find the right balance of hits in a combo and spread it evenly between both your assist character and point character.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: Rocket Power Beach Bandits OST: Main Menu Themeyoutube.com/watch?v=NwfVyfYt--I&t=3s-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fighting Games & The Book Of 5 Rings cutcc 2023-02-16 | The Way of the Warrior as it applies to Fighting Games. I don't 100% understand the teachings of Miyamoto Musashi. However, it is pretty fun to try to make connections between an actual art of killing & something as trivial as a competitive video game genre. So take the things explained in this video with a grain of salt. There are a lot of versions/translations of The Book of 5 Rings so I could very well be misinterpreting what he says.I don't know why it's called The Book of 5 Rings honestly. It's easier to think of it as The Book of 5 Elements--since there are 5 chapters (Books) that refer to the 5 Elements of battle. The 5 Elements are: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void. These 5 chapters aren't mutually exclusive and build upon each other a lot.
T7 | How to do Steves FLK 11~ALB+2 Combo Ender cutcc 2023-01-20 | In many situations, FLK 11~ALB+2 nets you the best damage + the most wall carry. The key is to dash in as close as possible (more than seems necessary) and everything else will fall into place. Start dashing as soon as you can, dash as far as you can--then enter a sequential FLK input. Hold Back first, then input 3+4, then 11~3+4,2. As long as you practice good habits and enter everything cleanly and calmly, this ender should be pretty consistent (I've actually been able to do it in a couple of real matches online).
Execution on 3 Types of Controllers | TEKKEN cutcc 2022-11-02 | Putting the 3 main types of Fighting Game Peripherals through the most grueling execution tests and seeing how they compare to each other. I tried my best to present an accurate portrayal of each controller, so I didn't use SOCD shortcuts for the Hitbox or backdash/wavedash using 2 hands. Also since I'm already proficient on stick, I put a lot of time into learning Pad & Hitbox--even so my inputs are not as crisp as my stick inputs.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: Gran Turismo 5 Soundtrack - Like A Birdyoutube.com/watch?v=-MbfBJOhryg&t=6s---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TTT2 Throwback Matches (October 2022) cutcc 2022-10-12 | A lot of people still play this game. Mostly on weekends I've noticed. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some Notes:-I stopped Tag Assaulting so much in the middle phase of a match because for the past year or so my strategy has been to not give my opponent Rage/Tag Crash as freely. But I think it's ok to do it if the point character already has Rage, because then I can transfer Rage from the point to the anchor character. Gonna look into that more.-While trying to find matches that didn't drag out so long, I saw that on average, a typical Tag 2 match takes 3-4 minutes (even longer if it's a 3-2 match and people don't optimize their combos). It made me realize that while TTT2 is fun for the player (because it resets to neutral a lot), it could be a little boring to spectators. Tekken 7 on the other hand is more exciting for the viewer, but it can feel more volatile & explosive for the player. Just an observation--not trying to be negative--both games are cool in their own ways.-When I look through my replays after a couple of days, they're never as "Perfect" and "Clean" as when I first remember saving it. I think that's my Ego at play, because we tend to enjoy the things we did right and forget the moments that went wrong. Perhaps all matches worth playing will have those embarrassing mistakes at inopportune times. What's important is learn from it, and not try to forget it. On that note, that's why these days I never judge people when they make big mistakes in fighting games; because you never know what's going on in their brain at that particular moment in time. You do what you can at the end of the day. -Also I need to start uploading more losses so I can analyze what I could be doing better.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONGS USED: Sleeping Dogs - Dance of the Yi People (Remix) by He Shufengyoutube.com/watch?v=vpyl6oTw_n4SF6 Luke Themeyoutube.com/watch?v=0MZPZFAaJ7wChocobo Theme - Final fantasy VIIIyoutube.com/watch?v=zhb0elfzWpcAce Attorney 6: Spirit Of Justice OST - Investigation ~ Opening 2016 youtube.com/watch?v=bbBrCya-sLkAce Attorney Dual Destinies OST: Cap'n Orla's Swashbucklersyoutube.com/watch?v=Gp4Mz_XW_uQ-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tag 2 Wall Combos [RESPLATS] cutcc 2022-09-15 | Improving some of my TTT2 wall combos by experimenting with new fillers, enders, and resplat moves. When it comes to resplats, it does seem to add to the combo scaling somewhat by increasing the speed at which the opponent slumps down on the wall. That's why the choice of ender is important. For the Violet-Lili combo, resplatting with SS 434 makes Violet's Uf+31 ender not work on small bodies. However, the Jun-Anna works just fine despite having so many resplat hits beforehand. Jun's F+14 ender is fast enough & has a low enough hitbox to catch the wall slump--making it very reliable for long combos.Oh yea the wall slump also affects what enders can do unscaled damage. Like for example Feng and Michelle's ender usually do unscaled damage, but since I added on so many hits, the final hit of their enders do scaled damage instead.Also very proud of getting Lili's Uf3+4,3+4 Matterhorn ender to work in that combo, didn't think it was gonna work =)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies - Difficult Peopleyoutube.com/watch?v=VtkILcf6ijM&t=2s---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hardest (and Coolest) Combos Ive Been Able To Do cutcc 2022-07-20 | Looking back on the combos that made me question my life choices the most. What's considered hard varies from person to person--and one's perception of what's difficult changes as you get older as well. Obviously there are always going to harder and better combos to strive for--but it's better for one's sanity to take it one step at a time. Today, I'm just looking back on how far I've come since first starting my Fighting Game journey. Call it a save point if you will ^_^ (7/20/2022).
The Virtua Fighter Characters in DOA are Really Awesome cutcc 2022-07-19 | Was playing some more DOA5 and it occurred to me how much fun I was having--even with my limited knowledge of the game. It was a combination of the stage lighting, impactfulness of the hits/stun mechanics, & good animations of the Virtua Fighter characters that made everything feel very smooth and unique. Iono exactly where I'm going with this--but I do feel that if Sega or Tecmo ever decide to release a sequel to their respective games--this mix of DOA and Virtua Fighter has a lot of promise.

Julias B+3 is Excellent against Steve cutcc 2022-07-07 | Whenever I fight Steve I like to approach using moves that Low Profile his B+1.

It's not the solution everytime to winning since Steve has answers such as Uf+1, WR+2, and Df+2--but is it a very helpful tool? Yes, most definitely--It makes playing the matchup a lot less stressful. One thing I've noticed rewatching these clips is that Steve's Df+2 can still lose to Julia's B+3 if it's spaced at max range. Even more reason to use B+3 wisely.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: Neo Geo Battle Coliseum - Castle (Castle Stage Theme) OSTyoutube.com/watch?v=jh5o-WtuUoE&t=78s---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SFxT | Chun Li/Julia Synergy Guide cutcc 2022-06-24 | Continuing my quest to learn more about SFxT--I took a deep dive into seeing how well Chun Li & Julia work as a team.

Usually done on the ground from a target combo or from inputting HP+HK. Requires no meter.[Switch Cancel] - The tag in that has a white flash. Done by pressing MP+MK after normals or specials.

Himura Kenshin | The Romantic-Progressive Samurai cutcc 2022-06-16 | Narrating a research paper that I wrote back in high school 9 years ago. Back in 12th grade, we were allowed to write about any fictional character we wanted and to craft an argument describing how their story fits the Hero Journey model proposed by American writer Joseph Campbell. Naturally, I had to write about Himura Kenshin, one of the coolest characters ever. Let me tell you, it was the most fun I ever had doing homework--because I got to write about one of my favorite pieces of manga of all time. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of literature that I've written--so I wanted to share it with you guys.

T7 | Power Crush Insurance cutcc 2022-06-12 | If you're taking too much damage in neutral from "High Power Crush Moves" (HPC), perhaps what you need are some "Confirmable Crushing-High Insurance Policies" (also known as CCHIPs). Obviously, there are many ways to deal with High Power Crush. You can throw it on startup, stuff it with a low, duck and launch, or simply block and (potentially) take back your turn. What this video explores are ways to clash with the HPC itself, visually confirm that you avoided it, and punish accordingly--all without taking any damage yourself. Essentially it becomes a low risk/high reward option for dealing with high power crushes. Another thing I like about most of these CCHIPs is that they utilize mids. Personally I like advancing with mids rather than highs/lows--it makes me feel safer and makes the opponent more honest as well.6/12/2022: It's funny how many videos on my channel come about because of me messing around with the CPU. I was just using Lei in Treasure Battle when I did Razor Rush against Jin's 3+4 PC.

It's not so bad now that I understand the intricacies of how they work--but getting to that point was quite an experience. One good thing I will say is that my hands did not hurt afterwards since I was focused on clean & calm inputs (and I took a lot of breaks).---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I learned some important things regarding execution while making this video1.) There is Good muscle memory & Bad muscle memory. It's very important to take breaks when you get stuck in a Bad muscle memory loop2.) You need a combination of creative problem solving/adaptation & courage/confidence to get through these trials. I honestly think it's impossible to do it if you're panicking or nervous.3.) Hard work & patience is not enough--you also need the right guidance.I wouldn't have been able to complete this without Vesperarcade & Short Fuse's videos. An absolute timesaver. youtube.com/watch?v=zXu7hxI56XEyoutube.com/watch?v=elHq5cPsYS0------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: Ys I & II Chronicles - Ice Ridge of Noltiayoutube.com/watch?v=t8S76rk98uk
Hwoarang/Xiaoyu Synergy Guide [REMASTERED] cutcc 2022-04-02 | Hwoarang/Xiaoyu, a very advanced but extremely rewarding team to play. This used to be my tried and true secondary team back in the heyday of TTT2. To this day I still prefer the TTT2 versions of Hwoarang & Xiaoyu--much more nuanced and poke oriented rather than explosive and mixup heavy.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: BeForU - BRE∀K DOWN!「ＬＯＮＧ」youtube.com/watch?v=ae_lCDuBAFQ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KOF XV | Some Light Conversions (into Max Mode) cutcc 2022-03-20 | Conversions & Combo Routes from Level 1 Quick Max Mode (1000 Max Mode Gauge). Just a reference for myself because I keep forgetting to optimize. If your character can do 4 lights into Max Mode--you are privileged . Fun times ^_^
TTT2 Ultimate Team Combos cutcc 2022-01-20 | A Tekken Tag 2 Combo Video showcasing the synergetic potential of 25 unique teams. It's a remake of a video I made 6 years ago in 2014. This time I revisit TTT2 with a lot more knowledge & experience of how Tag 2's combo system works. Some of the teams have changed a lot since then, while some teams have withstood the test of time. Who knows, I may even change my mind some more in the future. One thing that will always remain the same is my passion for labbing things in Tekken Tag 2 ^_^.
T7 | AutoCorrect Properties of Certain Moves cutcc 2021-12-19 | I've always found moves that launch the opponent at a weird orientation interesting. Obviously the Devs designed these launchers to be weaker on purpose. This was definitely the case with Tekken 6, where Drag WS+2, Marduk WS+3, and Nina Qcf+1 were not normal launchers. But when Tag 2 came along you could bypass that weird orientation by using certain Tag-In moves and Flip Over moves during Tag Assault. In Tekken 7 Tailspin helps a lot--taking a non standard combo and correcting it to a standard structure. On the one hand the reward can be too high for the execution required. On the other hand--I enjoy the problem solving aspect of figuring out which launchers can be autocorrected.Shoutouts to AlwaysLearningTK for the Paul WS+2 into delay B+12 S!

Teaching my Mom Fighting Games cutcc 2021-12-16 | Trying to teach my mom how to play some fighting games including Street Fighter V CE, Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, DragonBall FighterZ, and Tekken 7. I didn't think too hard about sticking to a concrete lesson plan--was just messing around and letting things happen organically.Looking back, I probably shouldn't have switched between so many games so fast hehe--but it's all good.
How Wall Carrying Used To Work In T6 cutcc 2021-10-29 | Back in Tekken 6 (& Tag 2), if you juggled the opponent to the wall without Bound, you could still use it after a Wall Splat--which leads to more damage and a very satisfying end to your combo structure. During a match, you would ask yourself, "Do I save B! for the wall--or do I use it right away & go for a less optimal combo. I liked this internal weighing of options bc there was a nice balance of tradeoff and incentives.*Going back to T6 hits different in 2021. I think this is the first time I've actually posted some T6 footage on my channel (if you don't count the PSP Hacking videos). It's pretty crazy how different T6 & Tag 2 are despite being essentially the same core game engine. An interesting history lesson for sure.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONG USED: Vengaboys - Shalala lala Instrumentalyoutube.com/watch?v=aDzusx1dO8A&t=3s---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Power Of Teamwork | TTT2 Online Matches (July 2021) cutcc 2021-08-02 | Excellent! You can still find people online playing Tag 2. Honestly, at this point I can really see myself being one of those guys that will continue playing Tekken Tag 2 years down the line. It's a great game when I first started playing it, and I'm learning to appreciate it more even to this day. Simply put, it's just genuinely really really fun--that's all I can say ^_^.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SONGS USED:[MapleStory BGM] Henesys: Rest N Peaceyoutube.com/watch?v=SQRqz1D3Xm8&t=8sHustle and Flow- Whoop that Trick Instrumentalyoutube.com/watch?v=BxMC7DlmlHAAlexia - Happy Instrumentalyoutube.com/watch?v=Bq4qpuT1AtIInvestigation Opening Abroad - Ace Attorney 6: Spirit Of Justice OSTyoutube.com/watch?v=Vvy9MFJjiRUMike + The Mechanics All I Need Is A Miracle Instrumentalyoutube.com/watch?v=Q--FeSaTmmEMelty Blood Actress Again OST - Rhythmical Bustleyoutube.com/watch?v=bpEF_mDkQVsThe Grid 2 Theme - Training Stage [SFV OST]youtube.com/watch?v=ilYAdpdSR30&t=54sKOF XV OST - Team Secret Agent Theme: Femme Fataleyoutube.com/watch?v=uRaDk7xRSbAAsougi Kazuma - Samurai With A Mission (Dai Gyakuten Saiban Soundtrack)youtube.com/watch?v=eKIsiaCcoJU&t=70s---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Virtua Fighter 4 Tutorial (Literally) cutcc 2021-06-19 | I go through the VF4 tutorial so you don't have to. I was considering making a comprehensive Virtua Fighter guide by doing a lot of research and asking people in my local scene for tips but it turns out the VF4 EVO Tutorial already exists. It does such a great job--I decided it wasn't necessary to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes the past can teach you a lot about the present ^_^.Also this goes without saying, but Virtuafighter.com is also the quintessential website to go to for VF studying/discussion. Check it out as well.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CHAPTERS0:00 - 1A: Breaking Through a Defense0:22 - 1B: Getting a Counter Hit0:41 - 2A: Performing a High Throw1:02 - 3A: Guarding against Attacks1:30 - 3B: Guarding against a Series of Attacks1:51 - 4A: Recovering from a Fall2:26 - 4B: Using Exact Recovery2:48 - 4C: Recovering from a Beatdown Attack3:22 - 5A: Recovering from a Stagger (Striking Attack)3:54 - 5B: Recovering from a Stagger (Throw)4:29 - 5C: Avoiding Down Attacks4:51 - 6A: Staggering your Opponent5:12 - 6B: Following up on a Stagger5:24 - 7A: Floating your opponent5:40 - 8 : The Basics of Evading5:59 - 8B: Evading your Opponent's Attacks6:24 - 8C: Evading and Counterattacking6:41 - 8D: Evading a Half Spinning Attack7:15 - 9A: Evading a Counterattack7:50 - 9B: Attacking after Evading8:23 - 9C: Evading in the Middle of a Series8:52 - 10A: Drawback to Evading9:26 - 10B: Attacking after a Failed Evade10:00 - 11 : When to Throw10:30 - 11B: Recognizing Guaranteed Throw Moves10:57 - 11C: Throwing when you have the Advantage11:38 - 12A: Using Striking Attacks to Avoid Throws12:21 - 13A: Practicing Throw Escapes12:59 - 13B: Using Multiple Throw Escapes14:00 - 14A: Using Evading Throw Escapes15:02 - 14B: Using Guarding Throw Escapes16:14 - 14C: Using Evading Throw Escape Guard17:34 - 15A: Using Striking Attacks to Avoid Low Throws18:07 - 15B: Escaping from Low Throws18:36 - 13C: Multiple Throw Escapes for Low Throws19:10 - 15D: Dealing with High Catch Throws19:44 - 15E: Dealing with Low Catch Throws20:15 - 16 : Dealing with a Rush21:16 - 16B: When You're Hit by a Striking Attack21:45 - 16C: When Guard & Counterattack won't work22:27 - 17 : Dealing with 2P23:01 - 18 : Defending while Recovering23:55 - 18B: When your Opponent tries a Throw24:33 - 18C: Dealing with Both Throws and Striking Attacks25:12 - 19A: Using Striking Attacks against a Recovering Opponent25:48 - 19B: Using Throws against a Recovering Opponent26:30 - 19C: Dealing with Evading Throw Escapes27:25 - 19D: Attacking an Opponent lying FDHT #128:09 - 19E: Attacking an Opponent lying FDHT #228:49 - 20 : Attacking a Downed Opponent29:26 - 20B : Low Risk Down Attacks30:07 - 20C: Adding Damage with Bounce Combos30:44 - 21A: Using Striking Attacks as your Opponent Gets Up31:15 - 21B: Dealing with Rising Attacks31:51 - 21C: Stopping Rising Attacks21:31 - 22 : Defending as you Get Up33:02 - 22B: Using Various Ways of Getting Up33:37 - 23 : Attacking Near a Wall34:14 - 23B : Following Up on a Wall Stagger #234:55 - 23C : Using Down Attacks after your opp hits a Wall35:33 - 23D: Using Walls for Midair Combos36:03 - Conclusion
