[CS2] Platinum the Trinity Actual Discussion Thread The First

[Starlight777]

Foreign Melody has been used quite a bit in the past few videos. It's the move that looks like a ground version of Air Persia. The latest Platinum video shows it being used a lot. Don't think you can follow it up midscreen without rapid canceling.

Oh that's what that move is! For a second there I thought Air Persia could be TK'ed or had a ground variation.

EDIT: Both of Platinum's victory poses in full. Did anyone mention how she has the BEST VICTORY POSES EVER! Also momo missile shenanigans at the end of the mu fight.

..but Air Persia does have a ground variation. I didn't notice that either, but I suppose it does look much faster than Air Persia used on the ground. Also, hardly as useless as others made it out to be.

[Starlight777]

Yeah platinum could consistently combo from it despite having to rapid cancel and even when she couldn't it bounced her a fair distance away from the opponent the damage output isn't bad either.

So far, what's Platinum's best way of getting in with mixups and stuff? Swallow Moon seems good as a mixup overhead but I've only seen it used once effectively in that one video.

I would say her j.c is good for getting in with mix ups. Her mami circular is good for approching someone aswell. It is also good for mix ups and stuffs. Especially, if you RC the move at the right point, then you can go behind the opponent to trick them or something.

Her items are good for mix ups as well. (Her Hammer, Bat, Pan, Cat and missiles)

[Cirno]

asfddf okay, wait, what? Is this her airgrab miss animation? j.2C, maybe? I imagined it looking much different than that, though.

j.5C, 5B, 2B, and 3C all have pretty good range. Swallow Moon is great if you're in j.5C range if away, or generally in close.

If you wanna spend 50% heat, you're almost guaranteed to get in. 16T slide head, large bombs, and large missiles (mystique momo) all do the job well. Mystique Momo'd missiles would probably do the job on their own.

I was wondering the exact same thing when I saw that, I assume she missed her airgrab, but apparently that's clearly not it...

[Cirno]

Yeah, well, consider my theory debunked, as her airgrab miss animation is right here.

Also bringing some doubt into the thing looking like a quick Air Persia on the ground being Falling Melody. Saw it again, didn't look much faster. I'd personally like some confirmation on that.

Edited December 15, 2010 by Cirno

[Starlight777]

So its j.2c then? If so I wonder what it can be used for.

[Cirno]

If it really is, then I've no idea, since the hitstun is evidently near-nonexistent. Need to see it hit to be able to tell.

[SoWL]

Do note that Plat says "FALLING MELODY" when doing that Air Persia-like attack on the ground.

Fio looks good, but not as good as Shadow. I want more delicious Shadow vids, A-Ru is getting old.

These vids show tons of Plat's animation, like her air throw whiff. God, I already see her taunt killing thousands of fans on spot.

[Cirno]

Well then, consider me deaf. I've never been good at understanding obscured lines. Glorious ending animation in full, though.

[Starlight777]

Hey I posted that vid a page ago lol! Anyway those are still the BEST VICTORY ANIMATIONS EVER! I wonder what's her taunt? it has to be cuter than mu's visor falling over her eyes.

[Danzai]

First time I saw Platinum throw away her upgraded item. I sadface'd. I still love how a RC'd Mami Circular can get you all the way across the screen into a corner combo. Plat is looking really good at getting the opponent in the corner which is her home.

[Hurricane Rev]

Hmm.. that is the first time I saw that. It looked to dramatic to be a air throw miss lool. I reckon that is her j.2c. It could be good for pressure.

[Danzai]

j.2C is said to have very little hitstun, so I'm not sure how useful it would be outside of of pressure.

Any news on if her 6B is any useful? I've seen it used a few times for pressure. I think you might be able to RC it into something else.

Yeah, maybe you can use j.2C if someone is on low health or something. Well, I don't think you can follow up somthing after 6B. So, you have to RC it if you want to follow up with something. Also, the move is an overhead Apparently.

[Danzai]

Yeah they say there's nothing it can combo into on its own. I wouldn't be surprised if it's an overhead. It's the same move as Marisa's 6A in IaMP/SWR/'Soku, and that move crushes if blocked low (basically an overhead).

I'm not too sure if anyone knows yet but I wonder if you still can't combo after it on CH.

[Danzai]

That I'm honestly not sure about. I think I might have seen it CH in one video; I'll look back and check.

[Hurricane Rev]

j.2C was used in that Jin match.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho-nLXuFMLQ - It's @ 2:43

The move does multiple hits and It looks like that you can't combo after the move.

[Chaoschao222]

And it seems laughable, especially one in the "strong" category most C moves fall under... it's like she's a failed Yoshi when she does that...

[Danzai]

Reposted with time stamp for convenience's sake.

I well you can't follow up with 5B, even on CH, but you may be able to follow up with 5A or 2A. Is j.2C an overhead or no?

[Cirno]

Not sure if j.2C is an overhead, but it would be kind of silly to not be, especially considering it seeming mostly useless otherwise. Perhaps, on crouching and counterhit, it could be followed up with a 2A? Somehow I doubt it. ┐(¯ε¯ )┌

Also, from that Jin video, jc > j.D with Pan seems like a brilliant mixup option. Really fast overhead, and a nice combo afterwards.

Also:

Fuck yeah.

PPS: Noticed 5B is air unblockable, and this throw combo is pretty baller.

Edited December 16, 2010 by Cirno

[Danzai]

Loving the screencap. Not so innocent anymore. If you can follow up with 2A after j.2C, it might be CH only due to the little hitstun on j.2C. I don't really think you'll be landing j.2C outside of CH anyway though.

So...likely her best poke is also air unblockable and we discover yet another good mixup option. Platinum is looking better and better every day. Can't wait for Spring~ (＾∇＾)

Saw that backthrow combo. Mami Circular is looking as good as ever. Platinum's throw is especially useful for combos compared to other character's from what I've seen.
