My first encounter with 60+ combo today..

Today was the worst day for me since XSf came out.
Noone's ever used infinities around here, and this chinese guy finally
found out the one with wolvie.
For the first time in my life I got beaten three times in a row.

Well I beat the other guy with my Juggy first, he looked embarrassed,
went out, then came back with a bunch of chinese guys.
One of them challenged me, got me after around 60 combo.
I've had coultless matches wit this dialer and won most times, before
he figured out this doomed technique.

Then this loser standing behind the crowd started laughing and muttering
around, sounded like he's saying that infinities are the skill of the
skills..
I managed to win two games, then lost another three match.
While my opponent was busy dialing I could just watch his face.
In the end I just left the arcade leaving him dialing.

INFINITIES GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH HIGH SKILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT"S CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know how to deal with this?

I read about some infinites with rogue & juggy but never used before.
Besides I hate infinities and would not use any of them to beat anyone.

I don't think just jumping around would help...

Personally, reaching over and rubbing their buttons works for me..
But I guess it doesn't work in EVERY situation.

Or if you're really pissed off, flick the thing off, say "Whoops", and
leave.

A good slap in the back of the head works too, although retaliation can
happen if you're physically challenged.

Now, who says infinites are unstoppable?

Don't leave yourself open often.
Don't get cornered.
Block.

Basically, don't get hit.

The best way of doing this....get them before they get you.
How, you ask? Just brain them with high damage, and fairly safe, combos.

That's the best advice I can give you. Just don't get caught in one. If
you do, hope they mess up. If they tend to mess up, your high damage
combos SHOULD win out. If they don't...pass the mike. :(

Alright, I can't stand the fact that people keep using the term
"dialer". What the hell is a dialer? A dialer is a person that "dials
up a combo" much like dialing a phone number no? This originated from
Tekken no? Isn't it where you press a combination of buttons regardless
to timing etc, and you can sit back a watch the combo come out? If what
I just stated is true, then THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DIALER IN XVSF,
!!WAKE UP!!

I would label Infinites at medium - high skill level. Any kid with
enough skills to pull of a FULL infinite HAS to at least know the
mechanics of the game.

Let's see, dealing with infinites.. you're using Juggy right? Shouldn't
it be pretty easy? Throw the guy then combo in a headcrush, mash the
buttons a bit and you have 50% damage. Catch the guy twice and he's
dead. MUCH easier to do than Infinites.

: : I read about some infinites with rogue & juggy but never used before.


: : Besides I hate infinities and would not use any of them to beat anyone.

Juggernaut's infinite shouldn't be very hard since it requires only 1
button! Most people that CAN'T do infinites and that got BEAT by infinites
say they HATE infinities and would never use them. But when you
actually go around trying to learn it, then you might respect
them a bit more and maybe even like them ;) Try learning rogue's
infinite, it's HARD as hell (Chun li has a similar, supposedly easier
one, but I'm still having trouble doing it).

: : I don't think just jumping around would help...

Nope, jumping around at the controllers won't help ;) Though it would
help attract attention (or distraction in the case of the guy doing the
infinite ;))

Read a Faq. Most of the combos are listed like:

[J], 153, 423, [Sj] 1425 U+5, [Hk]

Looks like the Phone Number for Singapore
