you were lucky that guy was such an idiot. rising just when you needed to take the 214A (twice!!)
I like you're use of 1/2/3 B+K and well done on getting her difficult CS, I've spent a week at home away from the game, but this is a move I shall have to learn when I get back.
Ivy's grabs are probably the second best the the game (after Asteroth) but once you start threatening with CS, together with SS the opponents wil start to forget that she's been ****ed over in this SC and start seeing entire chunks of health disappear every time she gets a hand on you. when people start fearing her grabs, you can wreak havok. if they come in but attack fast you can get in a 4B, if they duck, you have 1B BE, or 2A+B, and if they try side stepping, you have 6A or the faster (but high) 66A.
It is difficult using Ivy when she isn't scary, and this is the least scary she's ever been in an SC.0 -

The input for that UB isn't 214A anymore, it's 6A+B.
I feel her CE is really useless once you can pull off her CS 99% of the time. The only benefit of the CE is the damage but you can get 93 damage off a clean hit with CS and over 100 with iCS. I'm not really liking the fact that SS is a BE grab either... It just feels so noobish now. I would have liked her to have another BE move instead. I find 4A to be her best way to kill step at close range, it's a high crush AND it combos on CH so it's just too good a move not to use it. 6A (hold) is amazing at a range but i like 44A (hold) alot too.
I notice that she is significantly weaker than in SCIV but she still has alot of good tools to win. Her BB has been buffed, 214B is still really annoying, 4K combos on CH, hits mid and crushes highs and she does BIG damage from Ivy Lick from one hit confirm. I'm sure in a few weeks time people will be singing her praises. 0 -

If your close enough range when the 1+K connects, a 214B fully hits, (for more damage them 9B) other wise, go 9B.
It's beginning to looks like 1B BE is shaping up to be her best use of meter, short range as it is.
Isn't it **** how little damage 6B8 BE gives? surely that'll get patched!?
One thing I'm grouchy about having invested some time in it is how the second parts of 7/8/9A+B, B and 4A+B, B are both side-steppable.
I loved using them (in the first few days) in situations where people are forced to block, and they take 5/6/7/8 hits to their weapon.
Once I got near a guard break, I'd force a situation where the opponent either had to block a 44B,B,B leading to:
44B {guardbreak!}, B, B(launch) etc to combo.
or the massively damaging but less reliable (because the first hit does less 'guard impact' damage; they'll need to be red for 2/3 hits already)
44(B+K) (leading to:
44(B+K){guard break!} U!(launch) (:D), to combo!
44(B+K){guard break!} U!, 6B8 BE does 125 damage. If the break occurs, the U! is guaranteed.
As far as I know, the reason her CE is so **** is because it's inescapable. (neither A nor B break. if the opponent's head is there; it's connecting)
someone posted this beauty on 8wayrun:
Opponent's back near wall:
3B(W!), 3B(W!) CE (lololol! it ****ing works too!)
Do you have any decent combo for after a CH 2A+B?, they don't bounce high enough for a 6B8, but anything else can lead to Arial control ruining things. I should probably check if B+K, or 9A+B, B works...
LOL, I am stupid... 214A is still the same as in SCIV but I meant it's not the UB I did in the video.
Yes, tbh 1B BE is the best BE she has. It's really scary after ukemi. I think the damage for 6B8 BE is pretty ****ty in some combos, like you don't get the 9B+K at the end which annoys me so it's better to just use 6B8 as you get the option to pressure them as they can't tech. I do love 6B8 BE beside the wall though, relaunching after W! with 7B+K looks so cool and nice damage too. I would love if 6B8 BE was good for RO but it never does... they always just land beside the edge. I guess it would be so cheap if it could RO so easily.
I find 8A+B, B and B(hold) pretty ****ty outside of combos, especially the latter. It's so unsafe. I have found people stepping it before and then thinking they can press something beside me and eat like the last hit of it right up in my face, it looks pretty funny. 4A+B, B seriously needs to be buffed. It should jail them so they can't step the second hit. I like doing 4A+B then buffering CS during it. :P
44B+K, B is actually amazing. I always forget to incorporate it into my game as it is so slow. It's a NC before the UB flash and the damage is sick. I seriously need to find a situation where I can lock someone down with that so they can't step it.
I actually seen that CE wall combo posted on 8wayrun but I never actually tried it before. That sounds pretty amazing tbh. I need to try it in training mode.
After CH 2A+B, 6B8 works fine. You just aren't doing it fast enough. I'll have to find me doing it in one of my videos as an example. 8A+B, B works fine too but not as much damage.
Something funny happened with fully charged 3K when I was playing, I was charging it while my opponent was teching and it tracked them... I'll have to try that out.0 -

We met an Italian guy living in Dublin called Ugo while we were in Cannes, who was at the World Game Cup to play SCV.
I understand he did quite well in the tournament overall.
I gave him my number and told him to come onto boards and post here. Hopefully he'll be the next post after this one 0 -
