No problem! Glad I could help. I really didn't want to go the eBay route on this one either. Glad it finally showed up.

I've beaten Eyedol with Orchid and struggling to do the Glacius trick.

It works for one energy bar by fluke, I was able to smash QP rapidly and took down his first energy bar but can't do it again when he gets up because he batters me.

What is the correct timing and distance? How do I get into that position to exploit him every time because I kept dying and just switched off the game to go sleep.

it took me a while to get it to work for myself too.

on the first round don't touch the directional pad wait until he walks half way towards you... he should be just barely out of hit range (so the first few button pushes don't hit him) then pound QP like nobody's business.

Once he's knocked down I did the shoulder slide to get him into a combo... make sure you do an ender because if you drop the combo he'll punish you for it... the ender should knock him back a bit... once again don't touch any controls, wait for him to walk towards you and start pounding QP just before he gets into range.

------

if you watch the video he's not just blindly pounding QP... there's a timing element to it, Eyedol needs to be within a sweet spot for range in order for it to work.

I was also on ROM version 1.4... I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I figured 1.4 is the glitchy one so I'd have a better chance of it working there.

Thanks!

though now I'm hesitant to order because I don't see this month's character pin up yet (Sadira)... WTF

EDIT:
so it seems Mike Robles is the new contact for the KI pins:

also he had this to say on the Sadira Pin:
https://twitter.com/michaelrobles/st...81220441739264

... so another week or two before it goes up.... now do I wait until She's up for sale before I order the Fight Stick... or do I buy the Fight stick now and pay twice the shipping or maybe order the fight stick now and then snag Sadira once the May pins are available.

I suggest getting 1 KI stick in case it sells out, then get the next batch with KI stick next month as you don't know when they get released.

I'm ordering mine today.

[twistedsymphony]

yeah I just placed an order for the fight stick pin... figured I might as well order a combo-breaker t-shirt for good measure

I'll wait and grab Sadira once Orchid and the Firecat pins come out.

EDIT: SOOOO glad I ordered... honest hippo posted this on the PA forums:

I am plenty sure these will sell out. My guess is that there are less than 200 left.

in that case: ATTENTION PIN COLLECTORS BUY THE FightStick PIN NOW or you could miss out!!!

[Likey]

Ah good to know.

Made sure I pushed myself to place my order just now!

2 x PAX KI Fight Stick
1 x Thunder
1 x UltraTech

So glad I didn't bid on the eBay ones that hit $70 + shopping! My order was just under $60 shipped.

Anyone noticed that their postage has gone up by over 30%?

Has anyone got their new pins yet? Mine hasn't arrived yet.

My Fightstick pin arrived earlier this week.

also the May challenge deadline has been extended until the 15th.

I really hope they start the June challenge before that to get us back on track.

I was worried about not completing but also found out there is another 2 weeks to go.
