I'm a huge Drunken Master fan (have probably re-watched the movies a billion times) but I always felt Chin wasn't a good enough representation of the style, until this re-imagining that is. The moves and animation are so spot on, you can see they payed close attention to the movies with the way he moves and poses.
With that out of the way, his gameplay is very unique and fresh I feel. The commands and styles are very cool, and the juggle potential is of course crazy. Though I am more interested in learning everything outside of the combos.
Coming from HK and growing up on Jackie Chan, I agree, they nailed the drunken style down to the T.
Been experimenting during matches with the ducking move into throw and so far so good. I was able to duck and go straight into throw through jump ins consistently. One Terry player ran up for a sC on wakeup and I was able to duck and throw that clean as well.
That move is so dirty, he can duck most d.As! Couple that with his ability to combo after his throw in the corner it's so...urm...dirty!
You can see players who have played KOF before because they immediately started mashing cB against Chin... ugh.
That's when you do his Ex hcf K or his overhead =)
Gonna try and incorporate the D counter special to break this habit of theirs. Planning to use counters quite a bit overall.
His D counter is his old B counter now, both counters have such small windows (the duration of his Ex counter in the arcade, and his Ex counter now is even shorter almost completely useless, almost). Problem with his D counter is that it's used to counter low hitting normals and since he walks backwards it's hard to counter successfully. His B counter is so hard to time the hcf+B follow up, you're better off to cancel into df.B (whiff), df.B.
His combos are so satisfying to do. What is his best meter-less punish mid screen? In the corner?
Any general survival tips would be very appreciated.
Hmm where do I begin (see pages from before). If you mean meterless as stocks and drive, then it would be:
-s.C, df.B, qcb+A, drink (optional)
-s.C, df.B, s.C for slightly more damage and reset
-d.B, Quickie Punch, kick stance~C (s.C), df.B, qcb+A/s.C <--harder
Regarding survival tips, what are your main challenges right now?
