Complete Option Select Guide for Melty Blood: Type Lumina

[@IOTewks]

This is so helpful! Literally just A+AD and holding Shield during blockstring give beginners so much more versatility.

[@prominencela]

Agreed, I am definitely one of those people that can’t always get shield out when I want to, had no clue that I could buffer it like that

[@IOTewks]

@@prominencela I love how the game is still fun even though I'm so bad, and there's always more to learn

[@tringythemudkip]

@@IOTewks I feel this a lot. Same here.

[@prominencela]

@@IOTewks So true. I’ve not experienced anything like the shield wars in MBTL before - I don’t always come out on top, but it’s always a hype moment regardless

[@bluemoon9683]

What is A+AD? Is it square square x?

[@beromane]

Wow this explains most of my losses against A ranks

[@martinbraga6655]

Amazing as always!

Great job on the Red Bull win!

[@grokslamTCG]

[@OceanPolaris_]

Thank you!

[@alejandrogomez1698]

Thanks a lot man

[@Matriaxx85]

Thanks for the video! I learned a few things right now. Im having some problems doing the throw OS in 13:54 with the moon skill tho, it always grabs the moon skill instead of doing the tech throw like in the video (im using Kohaku) so im not sure how does this works if the moon skill input goes first. Any tips?

[@lidounai]

Thanks

Neutral guide 🙏

[@ChaosDunk]

Now that we’re in the august patch, are there any OS’s in this video that don’t work anymore?

[@garethcf1016]

Will the shield is work if i use safejump b or c then press throw?

[@Diaphone]

If opponent shields? Yes (cause u will hit shield)

[@Lady-V]

The main problem I've had with Kara shield on wake up is that I don't think the game lets you buffer the OS on wakeup for whatever reason (or I'm just bad), but also I found out there's no real point in doing it immediately on wake up since they can't even throw you yet, so if I just delay the input for the OS to coincide with when my throw invul runs out, I'll be able to block normally, tech throws and shield an attack done on throw timing all at once with little issue. Main problem is that they still get pressure if thet meaty, high low mixups still work and it can be baited for a punish.

[@Diaphone]

Yea, not to mention there’s too much variation on when people time stuff. Too hard to implement (but in theory good) imo

[@petersalazar9228]

11:20 does this option select still work? On block I get moon drive to come out

[@Diaphone]

??? How. There is literally no moon drive input in the OS (unless you got your time stamp wrong). All OSs still work iirc

[@petersalazar9228]

@@Diaphone thanks for replying man and It works more consistently if I do super low to the floor but generally jC ~ jB+C will give me moon drive the moment blockstun ends from the jC ill try playing with it more in a bit

[@petersalazar9228]

@@Diaphone yeah I cant get constantly, im plinking jC jB+C on block moon activates 🤔

[@breakmon218]

Did you enjoy GBVS more than MBTL?

[@Diaphone]

Yea I think so - but I like both games

[@TheBansheeBomb]

thank god for this video i was getting sick of player expression

[@Diaphone]

Using option selects is the ultimate form of player expression
