wut??? I always thought he had good mix up. but then again... I play who has one ground overhead that doesn't link to... anything really except ice car... so 6B>3C and gaunlet hades seem christly

wut??? I always thought he had good mix up. but then again... I play who has one ground overhead that doesn't link to... anything really except ice car... so 6B>3C and gaunlet hades seem christly

Let's see, he has 4 lows and 2 overheads on the ground. (2B, 3C, 2D, 6C/6B, GH)

Never mind the fact that his overheads can be seen a mile away, and you're left with 4 lows, two unsafe on block/whiff (2D/6C). That's 2 lows you can safely use.

Let's just say that if your opponent has good defense, your best bet for something to catch them off guard without going into risky territory is a 5A/2A tick throw or a surprise 3C (throw it in a random blockstring).

please post only if you have something important to say/ask. Don't turn this into a banal conversation

[B.O.A]

I think the mod should delete the posts that are useless, or edit anything that's useless and derailing the topic... We have: Ragna Jin Noel Rachel Tager Arakune Bang Carl Hakumen Nu-13 Could someone do Litchi and Tao to complete the list? Thanks. :D

[smooshman]

Could someone do Litchi and Tao to complete the list? Thanks. :D

okay litchi

if you want really long combos that will piss people off

christly corner rape

good stun

lock down

piss people off from a range with a staff you can run up and destroy them

and you want me to hate you

[MisterBadguy]

More CT Litchi stuff. If you're all about: -Flashy, moderate damage combos that lead to the corner. -Excellent oki game. -Good corner pressure and decent mix-up. -Arguably the best DP in the game. -Switching between fighting styles mid combo -Poor defensive options while staffless. -Having a portable stripper pole. just might be your gal.

[Obsessed]

If you like - High mobility, such as three jumps, or two airdashes - An amazing mixup game - A high risk high reward playstyle - Combos that require very good execution, but pay off really well (taunt combos) - The second longest grab range in the game - Hyper fast cats - If you don't mind few anti-air/reversal options - If you don't mind relatively low damage (although the more difficult combos have good damage) Pick and with that we have all the characters. (I think)

[eirei]

CS is fine too, right? Right?

If you like:

• decent damage
• arguably the best zoning in the game
• being able to hitconfirm from the other side of the screen
• excellent corner pressure
• an excellent reversal that leads into huge damage
• a patient and defensive playstyle
• shanking people
• playing the biggest douche in the universe
• playing the most stylish douche in the universe
• insulting shitty vampires

Look no further.

:psyduck::psyduck:

ps like half this thread is outright wrong. it would take a monumental effort to actually correct all of these things too which is depressing as hell.

Edit: I'm going to try to do Noel:

If you:

-Want a cute character

-Enjoy long combos with exceptional damage

-Like a small hit box but don't want to control more than one character at a time

-Want a fast character who can still deal fair amounts of damage.

-Enjoy a relatively (everything's relative remember) easy drive to learn

-Enjoy practicing specific and sometimes tricky timing in their combo

Pick

-Don't mind being called a spammer when opponents can't handle your drive

-Want to be highly unpredictable

-Enjoy a large amount of (situational) invlunlerability frames

-Want a super (j.236236D) which is essentially unpunishable (with a few exceptions)

-Like to be in your opponent's face

-Take great pride in being able to take advantage of larger hitboxes

-Enjoy a fairly easy set of combos to learn

Then is for you!

[Obsessed]

*points to post above* Ok we already covered all the characters. If you are going to post about a character than make sure that what you posted wasn't already posted before, otherwise you are just wasting space. And if you are going to make new points then make sure the majority of those points are serious.

[Poizonous Flour]

• Combos that are very execution and time demanding, but very pretty and high damaging.
• Don't mind dropping basic BnB combos online due to lag
• like having plenty of movement options & great range with your attacks.
• don't mind having 100 meter for 3/4 of the match due to situational DD's
