Not really TBH. Fighting games in general have a very sharp learning curve so you can't exactly expect overnight improvements. It has to be a learning experience, one that is over a long period of time. Has your cousin ever had any experience with other fighting games before? I jumped into blazblue not knowing anything about fighters and it took like 7 months to get the basics down.

He should focus less on getting good with Haku and more on getting FG basics down. Less mashing, too. It works 'cause it's Haku, but it's otherwise disrecommended.

After learning to block, he should learn combos, the use of each move, proper spacing, etc. Then move on to mixups, setups, hop specials, and more refined stuff.

But like Steel says, getting proficient in FG's while just starting out can take months. It's long, hard work. You're not going to drastically improve in a couple online matches.

THIS, it's not easy, fighting games are one of the hardest genre's of video games.

I really liked the way this hakumen played the tager match up and even used his ib'ing against him in grabs very nice: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10645497

What are the pro inputs on these matches?

Some vids with A-92 I found on Nico. Unfortunately, they're also probably all we'll get since these matches date back to May (he may no longer be playing). Anyway, here goes for quite possibly the best current Hakumen player (according to Ryokoalways):

This one is CT, but A-92's pretty clutch, so his stuff is still relevant in concept.

yea, these are really old, in fact, sbo quallies. he is the best haku player. but sadly he's not an extraordinary player: Tsujikawa tao level or Goro lambda status. he's really really really good, pulls of nasty shit and a really good hakumen, solid in is situational damage, and i can't think of a better candidate for best haku main, but he couldn't qually in a bracket against keita. not saying keita's bad, but he's 2 steps under Tsujikawa. but o'well, i think back to when Suzume was playing bb, didn't practice once, still bodied people, he could easily say " i want to be BB's God" but he chooses to main GGXXAC and i respect him for that, but he's truly a player who'd exemplify the unlimited resources Hakumen as has disposal at every moment. Damn suzume is a beast, came in second at a major even and didn't practice once. but then again alot of gg vets are, look at shounen, jan, qwerty, all gg originals. but yea, A-92, badass. Suzume, gdlk without trying xD

Reposting this from the BB General Thread. Our very own Skeletal Minion, showing off his skill in BBCS at this week's AWA Grand Finals. I was the one making all the stupid hype commentary. Lol. I had to root against him, since it was my friend playing Litchi

Thought i would share this with you all. Not sure if it was posted or not (didn't feel like going through 21 pages). This is NOT me playing. Though this video is what made me pick up Hakumen in CT.

Also: not really sure if this goes here. If not my bad.

DON'T post, ct vids of hakumen, unless what you're posting REALLY relates to cs gameplay (sophis for instance).

Is anyone with recording capabilities willing to play a few matches with me and post them up here so they can get critiqued?

some a-cho haku footage for those of you who haven't seen it yet:

batch 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9G1jFf1zgg

batch 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lEmCvP_SaQ

batch 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JB9E8bOM1s

batch 4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev93klbh_u0

why does he deliberately skip 3C in his BnB corner combo? to punish tech rolls?

also nice job blocking his opponent's bursts by going 623AA > jc > j.1C. I always have a smile on my face when that happens in my matches :keke:

Holy shit that execution is boss. Is that tenchi?

Posted

Hot damn is that guy good! I'll be studying!

It's either Tenchi or 0, I know they both use that color. It strikes me more as Tenchi, though since I don't think 0 ever got *that* good with Haku.

It's also not the "regular" A-Cho Haku who plays much more defensively and uses the default color, but who also has a beast Haku whenever he gets going.

Posted

There's a red Haku playing in some of the newer vids posted in the video thread in the general discussion forum.

He plays... weird though. Still pretty good. Not sure why he does what he does though.

i dont. mainly because i do what i want to ppl offline and online. i stay random.

if you feel like such a scrub haku player than heres a bit of advice. learn to analyze the opponent. learn how they act. learn to IB not off prediction but off reaction. learn to hit confirm attacks you do on purpose AND the ones that randomly hit. learn to conserve and see openings. block overheads. and well be patient. also dont be predictable, learn the best possible options and what times they can be used. dont try and be another suzume or something. stay you just be smart about what you do.

most of this is the opposite of how i play online, i force things to work for me. (dont do this)

all i all do be careful.

That's so cute!!! Tenchi tryed to do the link i told him about ^_^, ironic he dropped it xD

(btw that's Tenchi because he's infamous for dropping falling j.2C from any weird hit confirm. Such as batch 2 Gurren exchange.)

Edit: OMG Tenchi vs Tao and that Rag vs Tao looks just like I and xDest's fights, i'll see if i can upload some.

j.A > Tsubaki ^_^ it's a cancel really but from his height he would of had to do falling j.2C from super jump height to capitalize.

But to be honest i think he was trying to do j.A CH > airdash > j.A > Tsubaki who knows *shurgs*

I really like haku-men, but i really hate this game. So I might give out my combos early than expected. In comparison to last game's combo unveiling...

That Hakumen is crazy. All I can say about that. Fully charged 6C at the beginning of the match? Lots of 6A and even a Zantetsu mix-up!

Notice in the VS Tsubaki how the Hakumen uses 6A in corner. Is it a legitimate move to do in corner? It seems like it can cover roll tech and if they neutral tech you have advantage.

I've seen lots of Japanese players skip 3C in the corner lately and instead go for a better oki. 6A seems to be one of the options, another one is to wait a bit and then do 2B > 214A. 2B catches their rolls and auto-hitconfirms into 214A > combo. This might be the worse option if they neutral tech though, so someone with more experience may give a more detailed answer :)
