(http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=31146) Posted by CaptainCanada on 07:19:2001 01:40 AM: Which AAA character is best on point? In the past, my teams got crushed when I meet fellow SRKers in the arcade because they lack a solid AAA (Storm/Cable/Sent, Doom/Cable/Sent, etc). I guess I was afraid of basing my offense around only two members. But since that's not how top-level play goes, lately I've been trying out BH, and he seems to work best on point out of Cyc, CapCom, and Psy. So like the subject says, which AAA character on point would you guys say is the best? EDIT: By AAA, I mean "anti-rushdown AAA." Not Blackheart. Posted by Mr. SmArTy on 07:19:2001 01:50 AM: I believe cyc is best on point out of capcom and psy because cyc can chip like crazy if he is allowed to use meter. He can also punish assists better with SOB. Posted by TheFlood on 07:19:2001 03:08 AM: It's hard to say because what exactly qualifies as an AAA. Doom, BH, and Spiral all have an Anti-air assist, but do they qualify as the kind of AAA were referring to here. Of the classic AAA's, my list would look like 1.Cable 2.Cyclops 3.Iron man 4.Cammy 5.Psylocke 6.Ken 7.Capcom The list gets to fuzzy at this point, but there's plenty others who have Anti-air assists. Don't forget about Akuma, Ryu, Cap. America, Jin, Rogue, Guile, Charlie, Omega Red, Colossus, Mega-man, Zangief, Hulk, probably half a dozen more that I can't think of now. Posted by SilverGear on 07:19:2001 03:18 AM: In my personal opinion the AAA that work best on point are the following (In no special order). Blackheart Cyclops Cammy Again this is just a personal opinion. Posted by blk_brotha on 07:19:2001 03:39 AM: but peep dis tho cuz, cammy, nor cyclops can't catch a runnaway storm tho. use BH or CapCom to really catch ppl in tha air. Cammy's AAA is invincible i give her dat but use her for counterstrike. and cyclops use him to pull off supers like AHVB dat'll help u. ppl dat's always in tha air u can catch them with a high AAA like Cable's and tha otha two like i said. don't think dat im not talkin nonsense but im keepin it realz on a tip, so i hope dis will help u cuz .

The only reason why I listen Cammy was because here Air Cannon Drill xx Killer Bee Assault Combo is pretty mean. And I listed Cyclops because he does good chip damage. But you listed some excellent points. Thank you. Posted by DemiDeviMatt on 07:19:2001 04:10 AM: 1)BH-can stop rushdown,runaway does good damage all of wt everyone has said about him...maybe the best aaa char at point 2)Cyke-his good chipping nice combos, infinite(same w/ BH) has a runa way and can somewt stop one...nice mobility(unlike capcom) 3)Cammy-quick,double jump infinite, nice damaging combos...mobile but cant stop aaa... Now these r if we r talking about true aaa...otherwise instead of cammy id put doom because he has all the good characteristics which make a overall good character... runaway,rushdown,keepaway,traps,infinites,damaging combos,mobility,anything else? Posted by J-dog on 07:19:2001 04:47 AM: cyclops is all rounded in is probobly the best at point with his aaa Posted by Optiks on 07:19:2001 04:49 AM: quote: Originally posted by blk_brotha but peep dis tho cuz, cammy, nor cyclops can't catch a runnaway storm tho. use BH or CapCom to really catch ppl in tha air.

OMG!! Are you still speaking english?!?!?! Posted by ex_fuk on 07:19:2001 04:49 AM: I'd have to go with BH or Cammy cuz they're great on point and as AAA. Cyclops would be good if you had Cable, not so good otherwise. Posted by Red Spiral on 07:19:2001 04:51 AM: When it comes down to 1-on-1, no AAA character is the best. Cammy, Cyke, Psylocke, Ken, and Commando are good. To me Cyke, Psylocke, Ken and Cammy are my best AAA point. They have different styles, so you can't really compare. Cyke is more like hit and run, Psylocke is like rushdown etc. I don't really like Commando, for a lot of reasons. Overall my best is Cyclops. But it depends on your team to. What kind of setups you want etc. Posted by Red Spiral on 07:19:2001 04:53 AM: quote: Originally posted by Optiks OMG!! Are you still speaking english?!?!?! Umm duh. Posted by arjora on 07:19:2001 05:04 AM: Cammy AAA is amazing, just like BH. Cyke is good with Doom BBB, though. Posted by chiaofucious on 07:19:2001 07:05 AM: I pick Ken and Cammy. Ken: As an assist, he knocks out anyone and anything, with the flame on his fist, even capt. commando can't hurt him. on point, his hurrican kick gets him across the screen, dragon punch, awesome aircombo. Cammy: As an assist, she starts in front of you but goes 3/4 way across the screen in the air, good for fighting keep away jumping people, have her as your second character, when your in danger of any super even the AHVB, DHC to her Killer bee assult. on point, powerful aircombo, cannon strike with assist to cross over, small body, and great outfit! Posted by Mr. Hiryuu on 07:19:2001 05:49 PM: Which AAA character is best on point? they all have different uses psy is for connecting combos, commando is for putting the enemy away from you, and cyclops pretty much even's out between the two Posted by Cletus Kasady on 07:19:2001 07:08 PM: BH isn't much of a "real" AAA. I think the best point AAA's are 1. Cyclops 2. Ken 3. Psylocke 4. Cammy Posted by Striding Cloud on 07:19:2001 08:09 PM: The best AAA character on point i think would be Cammy.She is great on the ground and i feel very comfortable playing with her.She has great combos and very good supers.Throwing with Cammy also seems much easier than others.Her Killer Bee Assault super goes through alot of things,ALOT.Her AAA assist ain't too shabby either. Posted by NIN_CrimzinTerry on 07:19:2001 08:17 PM: Actually if you are going to use Blackheart for AAA assist and thats the only AAA assist you have that would be kinda pointless if you were getting rushed down blackhearts assist wouldnt do anything. I think Cyclops is best on point, and Viscant's Cyclops is the shit. Posted by Power Man Fox on 07:19:2001 08:40 PM: In my opnion I think the captin takes this one. Posted by Spider-Dan on 07:19:2001 09:16 PM: I assume when you say AAA you are referring to a classic anti-rushdown invincibility-backed AAA (e.g. Cyke, Ken, Commando), and not things that are named "anti-air" but work completely differently (e.g. BH, Doom, Anakaris). In that case, Cyke is *by far* the best of the AAA characters. Not even close. Cyke has a very good rushdown/hand-to-hand game, as well as a potent chipping game, and ability to punish assists. His tracking beam super also gives him a much better ability to attack opponents at far vertical distances. Commando is the only other AAA character with any sort of block damage/keepaway/assist punishing/altitude punishing at all, but Commando is inferior to pretty much all the other serious AAA character at hand-to-hand rushdown. Psylocke/Cammy/Ken are all pretty good in 1-on-1 at the end of a fight, but if your opponent has an assist left with a decent amount of life, they can pretty much call their assist against you at will, and wait for you to try to punish it, then rape you. Cyclops and Commando can at least do something (with varying degrees of safety) to make your opponent keep his assists off the field. And Cyclops loses nothing if it comes to 1-on-1 endgame, either; most of the characters left when it comes to 1-on-1 battle (usually AAA or non-heavy hitters) can't do shit against low fierce traps or MOB chipping.

I did mean "characters used for anti-rushdown," yet I still listed BH as my fav. Stupid mistake on my part. Thanks for all the input. Looks like Cyc is the most potent here, and if I ever learn Magnus rushdown, I might try Cammy (but I doubt I will). Ken's the anti-Strider Doom, though, right? But here's another question: Is BH better than Cyc on point? Posted by Truedragon on 07:19:2001 10:33 PM: Well I would say bh or cammy. Bh is anti-rushdown himself so when you face a rushdown character or team, switch the lineup and put bh in first. If you're kinda shakey about having only two characters who can really dish it out, try something like bh/cable/doom. great against rushdown and it follows battery/user/assist plus they are all 3 very strong characters to have on point. If you don't like that stick bh in one of your teams and switch it up when you face a rushdown character(like maybe a sent/cable/bh vs. mags/cable/psy. Start bh instead of sent-so bh/cable/sent-you still have a battery and a good backup assist plus you have a decent aaa in cable to back bh up. Still teams like mags/storm/psy will give you trouble cause the whole team is rushdown, and once bh's gone it's pretty tough.) Posted by Akumanizer on 07:19:2001 10:39 PM: I think either CapCom or Cyke. But Cyke does have better combos and better rushing. Plus he has more variable supers. Posted by dc_guru on 07:20:2001 10:36 PM: Cyke/BH are the best point AAA's follwed by cammy/psylocke Posted by 2 Good AHVB on 07:21:2001 04:38 AM: Cyclops is definately the best aaa fighter. HE can chip crazy damage with his mob, which no other aaa can do. he has a good fast beam that combos easily into sob, which is one of the best supers in the game, it's fast and can do decent damage to punish assist or an opponents mistake. also his ability to run away with double jumps and build meter with roundhouse kicks, coupled with his good rushdown and his infinite makes cyke by far the best aaa character.
