depression's been hitting me hard due to work stress (no good disability accommodations). this match actually took place on my first day of work and i couldn't sleep and decided to just play for a few hours until work started so i was kinda just running off 2 hours and coffee. you can see how tilted i was game 2 with how i threw the first game with a failed confirm but i at least recovered and won game 3. i wish i had a job as a typist or something else remote :( i hate my job and it makes me super sad. i always use gaming as an escape but my job just sucks (trying to get another, less physically demanding job) anyway time to get out of the soapbox and be more positive lol. the way i lost round 2 of game 3 was so funny. can't even be mad at it. first time fighting apologyman too which was fun. been having fun fighting deafheaven in the mirror for a few sets too
Not much of Axl fan (mostly because my characters haves terrible matchups against him and a great skill issue by my part) but gotta admit that his combos are really stylish.
I once saw a clip of Xrd where Faust send his opponent to the air with the springboard and then caught him by surprise by using the Slash version teleport, hitting him while they were both offscreen. Funniest shit I ever seen, it should return just for that alone
I feel like the core item set is fine, so I'm not really sure what other items you could add. I'm always down for stuff that lets you fuck around, though I'd worry about the odds skewing against Faust at that point.
I think he already started the grab before the super flash? So Axl invulned through nothing, and then the grab became active before Axl's first hit? There was no clover on the ground, so it wasn't super PRC, I'm pretty sure.
(Nearly) all reversals a not grab invuln on startup, but usually you dont even see the start of the animation. Here its particuraly impressive, because there is only one frame between the super flash ( the cinematic) and the actual ring of fire. So we can tell that faust actually started the comand grab exactly 6 frames before the cinematic, grabbing the frame after it. If he had done the input one frame before, he still would have grabbed axl through the invicibilty frames, but we wouldnt have seen the super flash (and so axl wouldnt have wasted meter) Brought to you by local dustloop degenerate
@@macanudo6206 Nice. I thought the only reversals that were grab vulnerable were the meterless ones, as a rule, though. If it's metered, it's typically full invuln (besides this 1 frame of vulnerability before the active frames).
5:16 Love that the first frames of Faust command grab is "You know I had to do it to 'em"

0:13 I’ve been so conditioned by these videos that I just assumed this was an intentional high level strat
2:36 we all saw that my boy :)
yo the music sync at 2:19~ was incredible
BOX
Faust could feel axl’s music inside him
Faust should have his springboard item back. That would be funny I think.

5:18 AXL'S SUPER IS GRABBABLE?!?!?!
Not it most definitely isn't💀 I'm guessing he tried to prc
