To be honest don't worry about that move. Even at the highest level the move has no real significance. Most players would rather do BBB and at least be assured the move will work as the benefit for the 5JF version is too small for the risk of dropping it. The damage is only 20 more, in combos even less. it's just as unsafe and the only real significant difference is it breaks SG faster...but that's only if they block ALL the hits...which also means you're getting punished and they're just gonna heal it back in the process. Only do the 5JF if you have a 90% success rate, it is not needed and is often only done for show or when you have a confident lead or want to close out a match.

I agree. It's just one fancy move, anyway.

The thing is, it's more of a matter of "pride" ( i know, it's stupid ). Like, an Ivy player ought to be able to pull it off at a drop of a hat. Besides it scares the hell out off people when they see that move. Intimidation is part of the game. SS/CS is the cake and HS is the icing and the cherry on top, something like that. In a match, winning is good but winning with style is great.

I haven't been in a match for a very long time now ( the laggy XBL match I had 3 years ago against a very animated 12 year-old kid does not count ) , but I want to know that if I do get into a match I'll be on top of my game.

See you around

Thanks,man. Practice is the ONLY way to get it right.

By the time I execute this move flawlessly 10 times out of 10, there will be SC V. If they change this move in SC V ( assuming that Ivy will still be their ), I will strangle somebody. Kidding....
 
To a noob from an even noobier noob, welcome to 8wayrun.

And it's another Ivy main. . . Great. Knowing that, I'm already seething with hate at your mere presence on these forums while simultaneously respecting you for not only playing such a difficult character, but also dating the game back to SoulEdge.

Rapidly dissipating nerd-rage aside, you don't seem like the snooty, egotistical, srsbzns Ivy's I come into contact with on XBL, so with that sliver of hope, I'd like to fight you one day.
 
I got it. Weird, but:

1. Howling Spirits is easier to pull off on a d-pad compared to using a Hori fighter stick.
2. I got rid of that " I can't do it, I haven't played in ages" mental attitude and just let it go.
3. The 2nd and last directional and B tap are the most crucial parts. If Ivy doesn't "glow" on the second B tap, the you end up with a regular BBB. I just noticed ( or remembered, maybe ) that the ending animation is different after a 5 hit JF. I know, sheer noobishness.
4. The perverse thing about it is that if I am not thinking about how to pull the move off and I am not mentally counting the moves, everything falls into place and presto, Howling Spirits.

3 times out of 10 is still very lousy, but I'm working on it.

Sorry, wrong place to post this but I just had to say it.

So much for Howling Spirits.

Nah, I'm just an average Ivy player who fell in love with the game all over again after 3 years of trying to forget about it.

See you around, dude.
