Right... been there, tried that... got killed doing it too :biggrin:
venom vs. blanka + hoster = venom sucks.

if you have 75 percent left and he has 99 use should just take it easy...you shoiuld take it as if were the other way around and after he does a haduken super jump and call your helper while your in mid are and before your land either hit the mid punch button or the high kick button...

Yeah, I always do that... and well, doesn't work. Probably what I'm getting at here is that certain helpers do suck when you're not hosting. When you are hosting... you rarely even need helpers.

And... it's kinda hard to think of it as the other way around since none of your attacks hit them even when you're hitting them 10:1 of their attacks... or even if you block/super jump over 90% of their supers. What really pisses me off is that you can hit them with 100% of your supers, but even the few that actually connect are stopped by a Blanka (thus giving you no opening to deal out effective damage).

ost_uid0="Nferno666"]i never do i keep jumping forward and blocking at the same time so by the time they get level 1 or so i'm right in there face so they can't connect with it so it goes to waste[/quote]

I do that too.. and, well... doesn't work unless you are hosting and/or have very little lag on a turbo match (normal doesn't let you block ####, regaurdless of if you see it coming/know it's coming). Try super jumping around.. works for a while, then jump lock. Try running at 'em, jump forward + block, and attack with dragon punches and low attacks, if you don't back off fast enough (and usually when you do anyways), they're either in the same spot throughing hadokens or on the other side doing more of the same... without any damage being taken.

Venom does suck because:
- He can't get you out of being nailed by supers
- He takes almost .01 damage
- He takes longer then almost any helper to get out there
- Even when you use him right, unless your hosting, his move doesn't hit your opponent/allow you to hit them and take some damage.

I'd rather have any other helper in the game (yes, even Spiral can be useful... sometimes). But venom.. no.

Anyways, I've had enough bitching for a while.
