Drges Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 For the CSII Hakumen a few pages back, I like that they're making Hakumen more of a zoning character, rather than nerfing the zoning tools which made him strong in CS. D not leading into damage but allowing Hakumen to gain some distance along with specials sending characters full screen makes him a more interesting character than CT Hakumen IMO. Tager mirrors are boring. 360A everything on reaction.
Ronin Jinobi Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 eh no offense but becoming lambda with a longsword doesn't sound anywhere near as interesting as being a catch and counter based character in my opinion :/ Edit like a boss: After looking at a japanese ghetto bootleg filming of hakumen in CS2. I can easily say most of his major damage dealers are still the same. 3C looks ridiculously fast now though o_o. Only major issues might be comboing off of hotaru or tsubaki unless near a corner.
Mightfo Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 eh no offense but becoming lambda with a longsword doesn't sound anywhere near as interesting as being a catch and counter based character in my opinion :/ Well, what ties in with lamda's zoning is her high mobility and variety of angles. Hakumen doesn't quite have that, so I still think he'd be inherently different and have that swordfighter feel, and is still getting things like 623a cancellability, so i think there'd be more to him than that, still. Plus, he might still get 2k or something nice off parries, and then you can do what you want, whether it be back away, apply pressure(which is improved with 6b buff i suppose), or try to catch their wakeup mashing. ;p
Ronin Jinobi Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 eh. 6B would be a nice tool...if it could be followed up >.> Well D canceling out of 6B is a nice tool to get a free reset but From the looks of CS2 It doesn't look like that was used too much. Then again if the 6B > 623A becomes possible again we could have some old options reopned up again(even though the proration off that move makes me a bit pissy >.>) But like i said if 2D remains untouched then i still have some options. ninja edit: I am partially happy that enma is harder to combo off of now. It'll set a new level of difficulty to hop over for his optimal bnb. /rant tl;dr: Hopefully ASW doesn't make me hate playing as my favorite character.
Ronin Jinobi Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 gotta troll harder than that. wonder if he got the ip ban this time :O
Drges Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 ASW was already moving in this direction, so I'm not too surprised. Zoning with Hakumen in CS is more dynamic than block block IB 6D in CT. I'm just sad that there will be less Hakumens doing IAD j.D being free.
Mightfo Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 gotta troll harder than that. wonder if he got the ip ban this time :O they might enjoy playing whack a mole too much to do that. i wouldn't blame them. ASW was already moving in this direction, so I'm not too surprised. Zoning with Hakumen in CS is more dynamic than block block IB 6D in CT. I'm just sad that there will be less Hakumens doing IAD j.D being free. ahh...IAD j.d into a rachel's godforsaken 6a and then wishing it could combo...oh ct. edit: the d-nail enemy bounce in location test is a lie too. JAPANNNNNN
Ronin Jinobi Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Meh IAD j.D is a tool that can only be capitalized on with good yomi. edit: now that i think about it i didn't see hotaru or tsubaki used in the vid...perhaps there's hope :O
jetblaksuit Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Norcal Install 2 GGAC finals http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/9968898 Why is this game so awesome??
Mightfo Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 VIDEO TIMEEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVYS48S0YMg Very good Makoto vs Valkenhayn match, followed up by a good rachel almost winning. Looking forward to Rachel being viable again, big time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8apDtenrwY AH2 instead of AH3 footage, but still nice. Mei-fang(dark arcana) vs Petra(Water). Petra doesn't really use water that much, but basically, water arcana helps with oki and defense. One motion calls out a water bubble that follows you, another sets out a water bubble in a solitary location, which lasts longer. When you do 623E, all bubbles on the screen(up to 3 at a time) burst into pillars. Good okizemi and significant chip damage. Additionally, water arcana gives you a command grab super, only other one that does that is Death/Poison/whatever it's called. The bubbles don't normally hit the opponent, but what they do is make the opponent's moves that pop the bubbles uncancellable, so they can fuck up combos and approaches. Great for both defense and okizemi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QozcNGWlYIo#t=3m35s Here's some of that bridget player at an east coast st1ckbug meetup. Bridget's gameplay is about as awesome as venom's to me.
Dannihaag Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 That 6k combo made my night. Thank you Rachel for using 100 meter and looking awesome while doing it.
Ronin Jinobi Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QozcNGWlYIo#t=3m35s Here's some of that bridget player at an east coast st1ckbug meetup. Bridget's gameplay is about as awesome as venom's to me. It's bridget. So of course he should! :D being able to set up the yo-yo's and then go into raining teddy bears of doom is about as awesome as setting up a double pocket with venom :D real talk though they need to find some better commentators |:
Ronin Jinobi Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Double post cuz I'm too lazy to edit Mightfo!....you have a small kitchen type deal...is there at least one plug in that area? if that's the case I'ma bring my small tv and a gg setup for Kramped Kitchen Kasuals :3

However.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ-3A3TqQro Mightfo!....you have a small kitchen type deal...is there at least one plug in that area? if that's the case I'ma bring my small tv and a gg setup for Kramped Kitchen Kasuals :3 Hmm, yeah, but I dont know if you'll need to do that, depends on how many people we get. However, yaeh, there's 2 sockets right near the counter. So, who all's coming saturday? Seems like Ronin and Zreb are. Texted a bunch of people.
