Cycle Cancelling Special

For a while now i have been meaning to make a video showing Cycle Cancelling being used against Lahkesis.
Why? Because PS puts her down so well and because I am MrCycleCancel, thats why. The intricacies of a GKTMNUR mean that hitting Lahkesis with the BH while she is down isn't as productive as nailing her with two to three PS. Because of this I MAXED the BH and SoD for the purposes of this vid only. CycleCancelling, negating the lag normally encountered after a special move is used by cycling through the available subweapons.

The edit work is a bit...rough but otherwise a good demonstration of the application of an old trick.

I'd have liked to have seen you using 3x PS rapidly just to see how that turns out with puases removed.

Bow Shots during her dive bomb don't count at all if I recall right. Hits during part of her standing up animation don't count either.

Awefully pleased with Cycling aren't you?

course I am.

also 3xPS is (most of the time) doable without CC. just hold L2 during the last PS, seems to work best with EH. The trick is not being too quick, the I-frames at the end of PS merge nicely into the lazy I-frames of EH tricking

3x PS is plenty doable. That wasn't why I said that. I just wanted to see how it would look to see AT LEAST 3 PS done back to back as quickly as possible (or slightly beyond what is possible if you will...)

I-frames of Piercing Shards?

[addaminsain]

sure there's a couple at the end

Nice video, though I don't see playing like that being much fun.

I'd get extremely annoyed by the constant pausing, I'd prefer to keep just one weapon out.

[addaminsain]

A goo point you make there Mr S.

It isn't fun. More annoying than the "pauses" were editing them out after. Thats why I MAXED the SoD and BH for this vid.

I had to make a vid of this fight with CycleCancelling involved. It is where I first used weapon switching, which later became CycleCancelling.

Under GKTMNUR conditions its just not viable. Non GK its bearable anywhere between NUR and MAX.

Had to live up to the name though didn't I?

During fire or after? I'd have to test it in AotF.

It's decent for style. Canceling the second you land the launch allows for a less then aweful launcher out of that weapon..which is good since it would have been aggrivating to lose such a useful thing as launch set-ups when focusing on BoO usage.

I agree. It it went straight to the meat like "Ascension of Artemis" the weapon would be far better received (sooner) by pros IMO. There is zero getting around the shitty build up sadly.

Sometimes Addam..shine is enough.

[BigVEE]

Did you? So you just also failed to apply it right away.

I don't recall. I barely knew you. Just another guy leaving comments on my YouTube videos back then if I recall right.

[BigVEE]

A good reply. One I find no fault in.

[addaminsain]

polising a lump of shit.

Sure you might make it shiny, really shiny if you are good.

Fuck, it might even sparkle like a diamond in the right light but at the end of the day (and the beginning of it too, hate that saying, don't know why I used it) what you have is in fact A SHINY PIECE OF SHIT.

you can;t avoid that fact. All the lustre in the world will not prevent faeces from being faeces. There is no point glossing over the fact that shiny shit is still shit. Yeah, its shiny but its shiny SHIT

launch with the BoO, using air PS or air DR for elevated knockbacks before the useless bounce that is part of the attack. Also CCed out of it before the bounce only to switch to the BH and use triangle to bounce anyway. Pointless but,meh.

CCing it to air grabs is easily doable, hmm, wave 1 endurance run dicking around. this could be a job for my alter ego...

Its the "build up" to the BoO launch that sucks, I can't see a way of avoiding that, is there?

Utilising the BoO launcher is akin to
