Tail flip beats skyfall? Color me surprised…it takes a while to become active, so I’d be impressed if someone actually could manage to consistently punish skyfall with this. Or were you just talking about shadow tail flip, which has higher priority and becomes active almost immediately after the flash?
Dude. I’m dying to play Season 3 already. Rash & Kim are calling me…
GGs @Sasuke99I yeah your riptor doesn’t like the tribe very much. really nice games, even though i still kinda lost in that matchup, if the robo-dinosaur gets his offense going i’m done. 
Yeah, Riptor’s tough if she gets right on top of you. Best advice I’ve got for you is mash jab - it beats tail flip clean most of the time, so it at least prevents you from getting reset all over the place. On the other side of things, just have to learn how to block and shadow counter. Riptor pressure is scary, but a lot of it can be shadow countered if your character’s shadow of choice isn’t awful.
At least until season three, when all the shadow counters get normalized. I’m stoked - Hisako/Riptor might not be 7-3 anymore! 
I don’t use shadow tail flip often anymore because the invincibility is weird for me. Normal version? I can back dash and anti air it pretty fast. Much more reliable wake up imo.
thanks for the advice, i’m gonna try that next time i run into a riptor.
and yeah i hope we can get some games in, seems like our schedules are not coming together all that well 
maybe we can get some sets in on the weekend. thats the problem with different time zones i guess.
Well, that’s because shadow tail flip doesn’t have invincibility, or at the very least it isn’t strike invincible. Sounds like you’re talking about the runback+HK command normal, which is Riptor’s invincible-ish wakeup option apart from shadow clever girl.Not sure what that command normal is called, but don’t think it’s “tail flip”, as that’s the name of the mixup “booty drop”, as Sajam likes to say. edit: the runback reversal HK is called “Tail Fling” - shoutouts to @infilament’s guide once again.
But ok though. I was about to be SUPER impressed if you were saying you could tail flip skyfall on reaction o_O
No sweat, it happens. 
Oh. I meant run back Hk. I can do the cross up tail flip against skyfall though. You just need to time it so you go right over his head. Doing the crossuper(that is what I call it) in the air to go just over his head and then it will recapture. The tail flip is more consistent though.
I’ll gladly fight your Jago when we get a chance, the Jago mirror is interesting. as @MaruMDQ can attest. I want to learn how to fight a jumping Jago as a Fulgore as I’ve been beaten by cheap crap twice in my first two online games in rank, one or both of which were killer rank.
Also, GGs to @MaruMDQ, your Wulf was really problematic, but you are one of the most respectful players I can say I’ve fought. I look forward to fighting you again very soon, blindfold match or no - all you need to do is practice playing without the music and then the details come to light. If you want help, just ask and I’ll be glad to fight/chat etc.

Thank you @SightlessKombat! GGs to you too =)
It was pretty interesting trying to play by sound, though my main problem was figuring out where I was standing, but is cool to feel the “button inputs” and work muscle memory. By the way the sound of jago’s fireball (without music) is amazing, never paid attention to that =O
GG’s to @TheNinjaOstrich for playing almost 50 games with me last night in the Jago mirror. Learned a lot about Jago buttons, spacing, and just general pace of the MU. Really impressed by a lot of the mid-ranged frame traps you were hitting consistently against me - will have to work on applying some of that to my game as well.
Pretty happy to find out my Jago isn’t quite as terrible as I thought he was

I should show you Fulgore’s projectiles without music - they look interesting, as do Spinal’s, even pre-s3 balancing… As I said, look forward to fighting you hopefully soon. Also feel free to join in #ForumBattles7 this Saturday with myself, @RGLOfficial, @MrxFlutterShy and others - we’d be happy to have you along.

Had an awesome day with KI. Made it to Gold 2 (SUPREME) with a total of 620 points!
Made a new friend after a random 2o3 that happened, and got my last 2 matches against 50/50 Killers! In my promotion match I even got an Ultimate! (one of 3 I got today!) 
Update: 634!

Was it really that much?
It comes in time, Kinda like how you know what buttons to push when playing Hisako. You know what works at what ranges and what doesn’t. If I recall correctly, you were testing out ranges near the end of our set.
LOL It was a blast!
