wtf is Gliding Toe for in VF5?

I miss the old Gliding Toe to hand hold. I just can't think of any situation where the nerfed Gliding Toe (G_ 7/1 K) could be usefull. I first thought mybe sidestepping but G_ 9/3 P is much better for that purpose. So does somebody know for what it is used?

 

It has no use whatsoever /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

EDIT: i wanted to elaborate on that but, srsly, i can't find anything to say. It's just not meant to be used. At all. As in totally useless. Never seen anybody do it useless. Eileen's bra useless.

 

Eh, I wouldn't say that.

It is an option (far from the best) to beat both evades (full circular) and short range pokes (has some evasive properties, better if you do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif_/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/ub.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif to her stomach).

Yeah, it puts you into disadvantage even on hit, but DS Vanessa shines at disadvantage.

It is a really good "down to the last bit of health" (for the opponent) kinda move, because seeing it hit is funny and being hit by it is kinda embarrassing (renzo laughed a few time).

 

Sebo it's useless and you know it /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

It does nothing that /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif//forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif can't accomplish far better.

It's also bugged as i've seen it pass through Pai and Aoi many a time (back when i migrated from VF4evo and actually cared to use the move).

It's only function is, as you pointed out, being a HUMILIATION *MK voice* move to KO people with.

...I was thinking of comparing it with Shun's ASS ATTACK but that'd be unfair, his move is actually useful /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif

 

No, it isn't useless. It just sucks a lot.

/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif//forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif comparison? Well, at least it hits mid and moves Vanessa away from the opponent. You have no idea how many elbows I've eaten from disadvantage with this move ("Then use /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif!!!" <- what if they use a knee?) I've seen /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/uf.gif//forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif flat-out whiff on an opponent (PhoenixDTH -> "WTF? Learning Vanessa first in VF will make you a bad player.") that was in range. I don't see shitty toe slide ever whiffing.

It sucks, but:

Mid hitting
Not that slow
Evasive (works at disadvantage)

Do I recommend using this attack? Personally, no, but I don't want to stem creativity.

 

<u>EDIT:</u> semantics.

 

You're missing the point.

 

it's probably an embarassing way to kill somebody...

like akira's 33p+k embarassing lol

 

I think it's for spamming at the end of the round after they collapse. Bonus points if you ring yourself out.

 

LOL, no wait, i thought you're supposed to that with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif hold kick /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif ??

Step Out's sound is more pronounced than Gliding Toe and the distance covered is far greater /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

 

yeah but that one's a borderline legit move
