New to SC, not to FG's

EDIT: BTW, is just frame AGA worth learning? I don't even know how to theoretically get the jf. I play on a standard ps3 pad with the default control scheme. I can do regular AGA consistently.

there is a thread with tutorials on how to agA. in general, it is not super necessary, but a little extra damage is always good, and it is always worth going for. if you have a solid agA you have nothing to lose by attempting the just version.
 
I actually decided to start practicing AGA just today and trying to get the JF. I realized I was never gonna get the just frame by pressing A into A+G pretty quickly so I decided to try to replace the A+G bind with just A on L1. After some experimenting I decided that I am gonna use the default control scheme as sliding from A to G and immediately pressing R2 or A+B+K after pressing G feels the most natural way of doing it. I try to think of it as A slide into G and "meter burning/EXing" the G. I started getting it 1/4 times after an hour and got used to getting the regular AGA every time.

Something I am curious is how big the frame gap is when going from G to A? I am starting to think the gap for pressing A after A~G is 2 or 3 frames.
 
agA is not A~G A, it is a: g :A. i think some wonderful person tested it, but i would not be able to find it. i am also not completely sure of differences between night and sieg. ultimately you are somewhere within the right ball park on frames, though.

i am glad you found something that works for you. i had to tape my fingers and slide across three buttons on stick to get it - i was 95% accurate, but it hurt. switched to hitbox because of it.
 
I am glad his JF is not as crucial as say EWGF to Mishimas or Bryan's taunt follow-ups. I think I am just gonna play this game in vs mode and learn it the "old fashioned way" which is playing actual matches and not sweating too much about movelists/frames/optimum punishes. If something particularly annoys me about a certain character or I find myself getting blown up repeatedly by the same moves I'll hop on the training mode and look at the frame data and see how to deal with them. I have been enjoying this game as soon as I picked it up and have been ever since, not always the case with Tekken as that game is just a never ending project of figuring things out. In SCV there are not so many NCC's and delayable strings and + on block moves or strings with an alternate 50/50 ender, stances and crush moves and all that BS that just seems never ending sometimes.

BTW. here are some matches between me and @Temjiin. I am the Mitsurugi in the armor costume. It's always kinda embarrassing to watch myself play on recorded streams and matches as I see my mistakes and just facepalm lol.
