- Pardon me for potentially stating the obvious, but has anyone
- taken serious notice of the difference in dizzy stances? In
- one case stars circle the head, and in another, it's the little
- birdies/duckies/whatever. So what gives? My experience and the
- apparent general consensus at UIUC has been that the little stars
- are a "less severe" type of dizzyness. I can personally escape
- "star dizzyness" in anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5 seconds depending
- upon when I realize I'm dizzy and begin wiggling. I have played
- at arcades where I was openly laughed at for wiggling the joystick
- and pressing the buttons when dizzy. "That doesn't do dick", was
- the exact quote I believe. Well needless to say, they were choking
- on those words when I went from dizzy to DPing this guy who had
- casually backed up to jump in for a Ken combo. This is one of my
- vaguely interesting techniques to escape from a dizzy: You still
- wiggle the joystick and press buttons but instead of just flailing
- around wiggle the joystick in a DP motion (or hurricane kick or
- whatever special move your character may be partial to) also
- be sure to be pressing the button necessary to execute that
- particular move. Not only will you wake up faster, but you can
- come out of it on the offensive. As a side note, it is faster to
- "just wiggle like hell" so only try this if you know the guy will
- be prone to the attack in question. Sorry for possibly wasting
- space, but I can always wake up from a "star dizzy" agaist Honda
- and even Ken/Ryu if they are on the other side of the screen.
