Toasty Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Tsubaki does have the advantage of speed over Ragna, so even though she lacks things such as priority, range and damage when compared to Ragna, she may have better potential to get in and throw out combos quicker if used properly. Again this is early in the span of CS, and since Ragna hasn't changed too much since CT, it may currently seem like he is significantly better than Tsubaki as of now, but it is best to wait and see what people start to figure out with Tsubaki before we can accurately compare them.
Hurricane Rev Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Here is Tsubaki's colours chart. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/3005/tsubakicolorchart.jpg I am going for the Red.
Silmerion Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Here is Tsubaki's colours chart. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/3005/tsubakicolorchart.jpg I am going for the Red.Wow, Tsubaki received many appealing color schemes! I played Haku-Men in CT, so having more than a few options that aren't utterly atrocious is a new experience for me. Hm...I think I will use either red, green-and-white, Suzaku Kururugi, or tan-with-green-hair.
Tsuki Garyuu Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I like the red and black scheme, the second last color looks like a U.S. Army color. lol What a shame, I was hoping for Saber's color scheme from Fate/Stay Night.
Prototype909 Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 The Purple/Green color (3rd one, bottom row) is awesome. Definitely repping that. Either that or default.
Skye Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I'll take the black, gold stripped one. Since dibs have been called on red...
AdamNW Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I call the green on the top row. Skye, don't tell me you're subbing Tsubaki too.
Skye Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I call the green on the top row. Skye, don't tell me you're subbing Tsubaki too. "Subbing"? I'm maining Tsubaki (along with Arakune), I made that decision as soon as I learned of her playstyle. I was an Order Sol main in my GG days. Dibs on the 6th and 12th colors. I already called #6.
Hintalove Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Ragna has better damage, range, priority, and good positioning off combos that always seem to end in knockdown or 22c. Tsubaki is a little faster, and most of her combos end with knocking the opponent far away from her into the corner. This would be an advantage if her normals had the reach to execute a good zoning game, but this is not the case. She can potentially have better mixups and improve her damage though, so we'll just have to experiment or wait and see. She's far from being a bad character, but I can't really see her ending up anywhere other than mid tier. Have you guys tried not wasting time on charging after combos? I havn't played CS at all or watched much, but with OS in AC you didn't usually have to give up okizeme for charge. Considering you can combo into/guardstring into her install maybe building gague after combos is a waste of time?
Skye Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 But then you'd have to worry about the kind of players who mash while being comboed, you combo-blockstring - stop to charg--INFERNO DIVIDER!!!! Not to mention vs players with 'top of the game' reaction time. They see you charge, and it's a fat CH (or worse FC) combo. It's an option at the least, but I'd rather do some damage then charge, far safer.
lxMetalSonicxl Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I'm liking the blue/purple one. I get the feeling that she might get a lot stronger after a few months, while Ragna is already almost topped out. Her matchups are definitely going to change for the better unlike Rachel. Does she have a disadvantage on a IBed 236D?

Does she have a disadvantage on a IBed 236D? I don't know about Ragna being topped out, match-up wise there's probably going to be a ton of changes all around, and people are already finding 5k+ combos that don't use any heat.
Andriy_Palaz Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Looking at her colors, I noticed 2 "king of fighters" color schemes Tsubaki / Whip (King of Fighters) Tsubaki/ Kula (King of Fighters)
AdamNW Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 "Subbing"? I'm maining Tsubaki (along with Arakune), I made that decision as soon as I learned of her playstyle. I was an Order Sol main in my GG days. I couldn't imagine subbing Arakune, but ok.
Skye Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Probably intentional. You'll be back. The Crimson Swarm will consume you once again. Arakune is still my main, just Tsubaki's been added to that exclusive list.
Skye Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Most likely, if there was a difference, it'd be acknowledged by now, as far as we know, she has standing, crouching and airbourne.
soujiro seta Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 It's nice to know there are fewer players on the Tsubaki bandwagon. I love her flashy style, and I look forward to adding her as my main along side carl. Everyone in the world is going to be playing hazama. I mean you can only have so many mirrors before your head explodes. Anyway, for those of you that have played around with her, no pun intended lol, how is her mugen like special? I know it is best to have 5 bars fully stocked before activation, but have you guys tried it out yet? I feel like, unlike hakumen, she is going to be really dependent on it, and that right now people are just using meter for combos only. I don't care if it turns out to be useless I'm going to go into it so many times. I love how she turns red and has that naruto kyuubi like chakra aura around her. There is just something about beasting on someone in her mugen that gets me all hot and bothered, lol I kid I kid. Also, if you do her special in mugen mode does it do the level 5 version?
soujiro seta Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 lol no1 lieks her cuz shes low teir. I know. Well she's low right now, things might change. I personally don't care if she's low or not. I like her either way.
kro_ Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 lol no1 lieks her cuz shes low teir. People don't like her because she's fully-clothed.
Tsuki Garyuu Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 People don't like her because she's fully-clothed. In that case, they can suck my *GIGANTIC TAGER* I say she's awesome in all aspects. Tiers are useless that way. Just because Hakumen is considered a low-tier doesn't mean I don't wanna play him. I would give anything for a chance to play Tsubaki.
