What grooves do you like?

[Sonoku]

For those who like CVS2, Which groove do you think is the best?

[Fantôboy]

CVS2?
The tournament scene prefers A and C.  You will see some major damaging combos in A groove.
Many like K groove too, since certain characters like Sagat on K groove can dish out damage.

I personally like N groove for run and roll.  As a Zangief player, the mobility allows me to get in close to dish out some FAB action.

[Robert The Small]

Ew, tourney fags use C?  What can C do, that N can't?

Personally, I go for N, N mainly because I can pull out a level 3 super for two gauges, and K because of Just defending.

Hey, I resent that

I thought it favored C,N, and A, an dmaybe K?

I'm not a C user, but you can cancel one super into another super or move.  This lends to many combos that cannot be done in other grooves.

More importantly, cancelling them with a special, which leaves room to yet another super with some chars.

I also like C, blame SFZ.

[Sonoku]

I like Ex Groove because you can charge your power meter. Also, at lvl 3, you can chain any punch or kick to another punch or kick or super.

[CaReLesS]

I also like C, blame SFZ.

i too blame SFZ for making C my choice

Real CVS2 players use K or N.

[Fantôboy]

Real CVS2 players use K or N.

What makes you say that?  I think the most skilled players are A groove players.  Some of those combos are so ridiculously hard to pull off.  I'm an N groove player, but I think N doesn't require as much skill and timing as A, or even P and C for that matter.

[Makkah]

I prefer C and N, myself. Of those 2 I find myself using N the most though.

[Jesuszilla]

I like N the best. C a close second. Although due to many things I've had to do lately with A-Groove I am leaning more and more towards it. To think I used to find it to be nearly as useless as S-Groove...



Though honestly, this should be in Gaming.

[Azasuke Kaijin]

I've been using K recently. Don't really see anything useful in S. And excuse me, but C is convient 

[~*Ishida-Uryuu*~]

I prefer N-groove, but all my friends who play CvS2 laugh at me for using it.

What's not to love about it though? Run, roll, Lv. 1 supers and Lv. 3's with 2 bars, it's awesome.

It's because they all use C-groove, air blawking's for nubz. I do use it sometimes though, when a Lv. 2 super or air block could come in handy, like against G. Rugal/Shin Gouki.

[^^]

I usually pick C groove, N groove and P groove especially using Guile for P Groove 8)

[Mário Fong]

warusaki3's ex groove.

[~*Ishida-Uryuu*~]

lol nub there's no ex groove in warusaki3

[mugenxero]

I like them all, A groove is for me a very all or nothing groove, 60% + combos *some of which are pretty damn easy*along with lots of useful basics. C because 3 levels of supers, airblock, roll, super canceling goodness. P I kind of like just since I play a lot of 3S, like that unlike K you can keep your stuff stocked without needing to worry about losing the power. S... For me its spam groove, not particularly for ZOMG damage combos, but fun for replacing a lot of normal attacks with supers if you get in the red, Shinku spam is rather fun! N, C with some adjustments is how I use it >.>. K Is fun for massive ZOMG damage stuffs ^^;

looks like everything is in there except P-groove.  The parry just isn't as reliable as SF3.

[hjk]

Just a question, what exactly is the "Safe Fall."

warusaki3's ex groove.

* I don't get it  * Please explain because hjk is slow.
