Davis ~ His punches are meant for short range combat so while punching try to remain close to your opponent as far as possible.His punches are shorter than all other chars except woody.

Woody ~ His punches are similar to that of davis so the same technique involved

Dennis ~ His kicks are meant for distant combat so while kicking try to remain at some distance from your opponent as far as possible.while dealing with woody and davis let him punch first then kick immediately after that.

Firen ~ Punches meant for short range combat so try to remain close to your opponent.

Freeze ~ Similar punches to dennis so same technique involved.

Louis ~ Actually louis would suck if his armor was not there so take advantage of it.Let your opponent punch you first then punch immediately after that.

John ~ Stick made for long range combat but can be used in short range combat also.

i need some more time and help to complete it 100%

[Ramond]

I like your choice of wording sometimes... :P Dennis' kinks, Dennis should let them punch first and then lick...

I know they are typos... I still like them :P

[Evil Sonidow]

Last combo is cheap and should be avoided.

[Divisor]

Is it just me or do the pics not work?

[Nullbyte]

Last combo is cheap and should be avoided.

yeah lol..it must be avoided but u can use it during the tourney fights against mlf2..lol

@Divisor:lol
dont know but someone plz fix this
i have to complete the punching technique part as i have to make gifs for that
i made all gif by myself with lh and rh...was really irritating

The Lost Global Mod edited this post 03-09-2011 05:33 PM because:

bbcodewise its correct, so its up to your hoster, in other ways you fix it

[bashscrazy]

apparently when i view your pics (firefox's right click view image)..

I get this URL http://img691.imageshack.us/i/louis1.gif/
and thats not the image by itself.. this is http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8398/louis1.gif

So you didn't get the proper URLS

EDIT: these are for the combos only.

[Marshall]

good start. Suggestion:
1 character at a time and make it more in depth. Now... I know nothing about fighting, so whatever I am saying here might be incorrect. Anyway, by in depth, you could mention things like:
e.g.1 Davis and Woody has the quickest punching speeds
e.g. 2 John's AAAA hits the opponent up the air and can flip. but it can be countered by a quick D>A, if they flip again, use >>JA
e.g. 3 talk about some basic tactics in relation to each character, such as for Henry, never try to hit where the opponent is, rather, try and hit where you think they WILL be

[Divisor]

[reminder]You still need to fix the other half of the pictures [/reminder]

Otherwise, you have some pretty cool stuff in there. I approve.

[empirefantasy]

Here need to be Rudolf,dennis,davis (and Julian),who "control" the opponent.
I have no image right now.
Rudolf:if you shoot 3 stars (or do D>J etc.),you can shoot 1 star in each 1.5 I think,you opponent can never move and he will loose HP and will die.
Dennis: the same thing with rudolf,but just use D>A
Davis: the same thing with dennis.
Julian:The same thing with dennis and davis,but it is impossible in practice because you can not press D>A and directly D.Maybe if game is slow,you can do that.

Dennis has another technique: d>j,catch,d>j,catch,d>j... but don't do that if you are against LouisEX.

[bashscrazy]

Since you still haven't fixed the images I decided to post them myself
