2:12:40 - what's next??
Mid-jabbing didn't hurt my wrist quite as much this time, I think. You DO only have to do one forward motion, then you can press P twice from that one motion...I don't seem to have that down or feel secure doing it though, so now I'm just kind of somewhat gently spamming f and P. : P
Found at 1:44:36 vs "Lone Wolf" that after bP, even if it's blocked--actually, ESPECIALLY if it's blocked--you can dash in and throw sometimes; seems to work better on some opponents than others. Or dash in and ffp or something maybe.
Before that I had had some successful follows to bP with the jumping axe kick (dbG+K), which was great because then you can follow THAT with K, K and you've done huge damage--but then the AI just started evading the axe kick. I have a feeling that throwing after bP isn't going to work on tougher AI, either, but I'll keep trying it a bit longer.
Pretty irritated with feeling like I have only two semi-reliable options left at this level: offensive style ffP (lunging punch), if there's room, and offensive style fPP (mid, high jab one-two); but because ffP is hard (for me at least) (and bP for that matter) to get away with at short range, if you've gone into fPP, then you're down to pretty much one option, fPP--or PP if you can see they're standing and not blocking but it's still really risky, so not really a reliable option. So yeah, just mid-jab over and over until they whip out something that stops it. Hope you're still alive, wake up, repeat.
Still got nothing for Brads, or aggressive Jackys and Laus: they close the distance so fast, ffP and bP don't have time to come out, and they just out-punch my jabs with faster ones and/or far more damaging combos.
I even had Gohs Goh-ing off on me! Gohs!
Got to thinking wistfully of Vanessa's ol' Muay Thai style in 4 vanilla. Her G+K is busted there (the Kumite AI can't stop it) but if I didn't map G or G+K...
No Brads or Gohs there... : P
Oh but you know what was also really disheartening was fighting the AI Vanessas here; for instance, "coldasice" started off with a big double-wall-combo on me (that triple jab thing that I think is a back-to-forward motion of some kind, followed by maybe fK for a knee, hm) that at first made me think okay hey look at Vanessa with big offense...but that was with the wall, and anyway then I found all I had to do was get in one high jab and the AI Vanessas were just toast. Like me. So there is no hope in Evo-land! ;_;
