what if there were giant isopods roaming the parks like living roombas

After rewatching Pixar's Elio, I found myself enjoying it more than I expected. So, I decided to draw a little design I did for Elio Solis, as well as my OC Emmet Amell for an AU idea I'm working on. I also added a few other pieces related to this work for you to see as well.

———————————————————————————————————

The basic premise of the story is that an orphaned Elio Solis finds himself transported to the faraway planet of Ordell - a planet similar to Earth - via an interplanetary portal. He ends up being found by young scientist, inventor, and astronomer Emmet Amell and his family. 

While initially frightened at their first encounter with alien life, the Amell family soon came to know and love Elio like one of their own, eventually adopting him into their family.

———————————————————————————————————

Like I said, this idea is still a work-in-progress, but I thought it would be a fun AU idea to throw out for all the fans of the 2025 film to enjoy.

In Jackie Brown (1997), Bridget Fonda’s character, Melanie, has this photo of herself on her wall that’s of her in Japan. She can hardly remember the name of the guy who has his arm around her and his face isn’t even in the photo.

Another OC.

Their name is Ordell, they can see into the future and choose how far into the future they want to see. They always hide their face, no one really knows why.

They enjoy going to tournaments in the Wrath ring of Hell, usually to test how well their future vision is working. They often sit in the top seats, they prefer to not be seen as much as possible.

Their not a high ranking Demon, but their not low ranking either. In fact, their not fully Demon, only half.

Jackie Brown (1998)

“Shut your raggedy-ass up & sit the fuck down”

Jackie Browns an odd little movie in the fact it’s so normal, lacking Tarantinos normal flair, violence & offbeat dialogue

However it’s still a highly enjoyable movie, with some great acting & characters, a tightly written plot, a fantastic score and decent to great cinematography

But the highlight of the movie has got to be Samuel L Jackson’s role as Ordell. His acting is just enigmatic, with Ordell being my personal fav role Samuel L Jackson has ever played. With my fav scene of the movie being Ordell shoots Belmont in the boot of his car.

Because I’m arguably the greatest Tekken educator on my block, here’s how to wavedash! Get ready for a big wall of text!

If you don’t want a wall of text, maybe just watch the tutorial video from TheMainManSWE: it’s quite good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDycsZYw56o

A wavedash in Tekken is doing a crouchdash, cancelling that into a forward dash, and then canceling your forward dash into *another* crouchdash, and so on. Most characters can’t do it. The ones that *can* are the ones with a Mishima-style crouchdash *and* the ability to transition from that crouchdash into a forward dash. So in T7, that’s Kaz, Hei, D.Jin, Jin, Bob and Hwoarang. In principle, King can also wavedash, but his is super difficult and you almost never see it.

So how you do it in practice. Instead of doing just “forward (neutral) down, down/forward”, for your crouchdash, do “f, qcf”. You should still get a crouchdash. It’ll look the same. Try it out, I’ll wait!

Now to cancel that crouchdash into a forward dash. Do “f, qcf, f”. So after you’ve hit your qcf, just tap forward. Your character should pop up a bit faster, and do a forward dash. Nice!

Finally, chain together a bunch of “f, qcf, f, qcf, f ...”  ... and you’re wavedashing! This may take a little bit of practice to get the timing right, but it’s fairly forgiving. Turn on command history in practice mode and you should see a nice little pattern of repeated forward (then some space) and quarter-circle forward. If you don’t see that, you’re not doing it right.

The more important thing is which moves will you do from your wavedash, and even more important than that is knowing when to pressure with wavedash and using wavedash to bait a response and then punishing the response.

The thing that makes a wavedash scary is the mixups that come out of it. And in Tekken you gotta mix up a low with a mid.

For Kazuya, the obvious mid/low mixup from your crouchdash is hellsweep (cd 4,1 or cd 4,4) vs thunder god fist (cd 1). That’s not a good mixup, because both options are launch punishable, so if your opponent guesses right, that’s super bad for you. You see some beginner Kazuyas doing it, and it’s only OK until you face somebody who has good punishment.

Two better mids to consider are ff+3 (safe mid launcher, but slow and possible to avoid) and ws4 (fast safe mid for frame advantage on hit). Before you’re using wavedash in a real match, you should learn to get those moves to come out from your wavedash. For ff+3, just hit 3 during your forward dash. So f, qcf, f+3. For ws4, go to neutral during your crouchdash (let go of d/f!) and hit 4. It is very important to be able to reliably get crouchdash into ws4 when you mean to, as opposed to hellsweep. You don’t want to accidentally throw out hellsweeps. At early stages, you can get a lot of mileage out of wavedash into ff+3, because people will think you’re going to hellsweep!

Oh, and if you’ve got rage and you’re Kazuya, one of the best options from your wavedash is your rage drive. That’s crouchdash+1+4. Heck of a move.

There are many more options, but those are the ones I think you should start out with.
