[CS1] Hazama vs. Λ-11

[bjholmes2]

For discussion of the Hazama vs. Λ-11 matchup.

[BladeOfJustice7]

An early speculation on this match-up would 5.5 in Hazama's favor due to ouroboros, she has to keep him from using it otherwise he can get in close for a relatively good mixup against her and her weak melee attacks.

[Dangle]

bait her 5D all day, you see a 5D coming, j6D~D/C>free combo/pressure

[Drill]

fought a Lambda online. Won first round. She won next two due to fucking Act Parser spam. Any Advice?

[Almadiel]

The anti-air act parser can be stopped by a jab, or basically any other attack that isn't head attribute as she is totally vulnerable before the attack hits.

[kazukifafner]

Yeah, Pulsar looks scary, but it's easy to interrupt if you know it's coming. Heck, a well timed 236C can work as well.

Another good thing to remember is that, in terms of range, Hazama's chains reach farther than Lambda's drive. This is especially true when it comes to diagonals. Abusing j6D from a high jump isn't necessarily a bad idea in this matchup.

[Drill]

Okay, still would like a bit more info on the Parser.

Is she open at all AFTER the damn parser? And I mean both. Whenever I try to attack after it I just end up eating 3C or whatever.

I'd just REALLY like to learn how to beat Lambda's that spam the C moves up close with a bunch of Act Parser BS in between.

[kazukifafner]

It's pretty much safe on block. B version has 0 frame difference between blockstun and recovery, whereas C version is 4 frames in your favor if blocked. You might be able to sneak in a 5A/2A if she tries to followup, but it's basically safe.

[Klaige]

If you see a lambda doing strings into act pulsar, jayoku that garbage. It's really easy to time and it gets you that fat juicy fatal counter on a character with a tiny ass lifebar.

[kinker]

you can use his backdash' invincibility to avoid a low pulsar with style. lol.

[Overheat]

Lambda:

236A (30-38 frames, can cancel into throw or Astral after 31st frame)

236B (18-27 frames, distant dependant)

236C (30 frames)

Her Parsers suck if you know the Lambda's going to use it. You can 5A/2A her out of it on reaction, if you have enough experience. If you block it, don't try to punish unless it's a 2A. 2A beats out Lambda's 3C. If you try to punish, be wary of Lambda's (terribad) DP.

[Arifureta]

And eat a heavy AA combo with the C pulsar.

[Tage*Proto]

^^ That.

God forbid your in the corner.

[PhoenixBR]

Mizuchi Rekkazan is really good in this matchup, it seems. Whenever you see them charging 214D up, it's possible to punish with it.

Actually, I thought 632146C was a really crappy DD at first, but it's a pretty good projectile punisher.

[Eclipse]

Oh, it's good for punishing so many things, when it's a close match. Works on Lambda's drives, if she's out of range. Carl, when he's controlling Nirvana, Jin's Ice Blades, the list goes on.

Unfortunately, I try to Mizuchi Rekkazan her when she charges up for her long range distortion drive, and always get hit out. I thought I'd automatically be invulnerable all the way through. But I always end up getting hit out of it by a billion little swords.

this will work. unfortunately i think it only works if you know they're going to activate it and start at the same time. maybe super flash buffer but im not entirely sure.

[Fireryda]

super flash buffer works.

Mizuchi is okay, it works in some rare sitations well, until the enemy stops doing it.

It's nowhere near as good as Makoto's Big Bang Smash though, damn that's an annoying Distortion

[Arifureta]

It's like All Green, but All Screen.

[ThatRandomGamer]

I'm glad I found this 'cause I was thinking how the hell can I beat Lamda

[LordSpectreX]

I have a problem with Act Parser C. I am 'able' to poke Lambdas out of it. Except during one blockstring. When she does 5DD -> 4DD -> Act Parser C. The blockstun is too long for even 5A/2A to come out. This is supposed to happen?

[severin]

Just command grab it. +1000000 style points.

Also, 4DD 236C shouldn't be that tight. Mash harder?

[LordSpectreX]

I am. But at mid range, nothing beats 4DD Act Parser C. I've been in training mode for the last hour. Everything loses to it, except;

5A:- But I have to be lucky and spam it. And even then, we both get hit.

236C:- Works only a small number times, easier as you get further away.

Jayaku:- Always. Lol.

People say that Act Parser C is easy if you know they're going to do it. But all I find is few options to beat it after 4DD at mid range, and any non-heat options are extremely risky.

Hell, even Jayaku has to be done instantly to avoid being counterhit. I.e. No hit confirm.

[Fireryda]

heres a good one.. don't get hit by 4DD.. it's like 20-30 frame start up and 40 frame recovery or something.

at mid screen you should definately not get hit by it and it's an easy punish.

[LordSpectreX]

I didn't know you could do something inbetween 5DD->4DD. I know it's not a blockstring, but there really isn't anything you can do (like jump, backdash or ourboros). But apparantly there is, what is it please?
