'R u serious LuciaWaltez? You really have the cabinet?

Anyway, is excaliborg unblockable? I mean right here it looked like minori was blocking, yet he still got hit. Is that what makes it special from all the other install items, guaranteed unblockable damage? Cause right now excaliborg is the most useless install item of the bunch.

Well on my trip to Japan i have a friend that works in the gaming industry and she so happens to work on fixing and tweeking the Cabinets in the arcades . I was able to actually score an offer with her to sell me a CSII Cabinet but obviously it didn't come cheap .

In Canadian currency (Because its low in Japan) I spent aroun 600.00 - 900.00 $ , but in the end it was worth it and i actually don't have trouble with the NESSICAxlive because its internet access basis . But since owning a Cabinet it does rack up my bills on electricity .

There was no unblock effect after the hit, and it looked like Lambda stopped blocking. Also, LuciaWaltez mentioned in the last page that he got a cabinet.

edit: jesus, raw mami hit close to corner gets so much damage. hammer x2 is simply amazing

Lmaoo Cirno i'm a girl , and yes i have the cabinet . The only reason why i got the cabinet was because of Platinum's release , but i still have yet to see how i can use her swallow moon properly in a combo string . But i have made use of her specials and her upgrades (which are really fun to play around with in combos) . But i'd rather it for my console so i'm just gonna wait for her DLC release .

TK Swallow Moon for instant overheads during pressure, like:

5A > 5B > 5C > TK j.236C > j.C > 2A > 2B > etc.

And in combos use it after 6C, like:

6A > 6C > j.236C > j.C > Dash > 5C > 6A > 236B

You got it dudette.

So is Plat looking legit right now? I saw that beastly corner combo in one of the vids, but I haven't been keeping up much.

Well then, "miss". "Bro" in recent times has been pretty unisex, but I can understand if you would prefer otherwise.

As Chaoschao said, Platinum has always been legit. She still has good range, fantastic mixup, okay midscreen damage that almost always leads to corner, and good damage in the corner that only gets better with pan/hammer. In fact, she just keeps looking better. Hardly as 'easymodo' as people may assume.

Platinum looks like she has a wide variety of talents only amplified by her random tools. What is mind blowing is the options you have with her without the tools O-o

Lol I don't think she's broken. She's amazing and hits hard but she's missing that certain something that makes players cry BS.

like what lol?

she has range, soviet damage, pressure, good aa's, great tools, extremely versatile -what could she be missing?

of course now isnt the time for speculation on the US side, however... she lookin high/top tier beastly.

Oh now I remember she has no real way to push people off aside from bat and I think her health is on the lower spectrum like Ragna and Valk.

EDIT: But your right TD she does look like a contender for A tier with her versatility and amount of options.

The entirety of the rebalance provided the majority of the cast with good aa's, safe, strong pressure and great top end damage. So in that respect, she's actually rather average.

Her versatility is arguable, just because she has more options doesn't mean that she can handle more situations. For instance many of her abilities provide support to her pressure, either adding safety or mixup, however those same tools don't necessarily help in a defensive position. Her abare is also still questionable. With so many characters having such strong pressure, I'm feeling that defensive options will have a lot more influence in CS2... there are many reasons why she would have problems playing footsies or matching damage with much of the cast.

I would personally say Platinum is a strong character, even with an underdeveloped metagame, just keep in mind that... pretty much everyone is looking pretty strong.
