[CS2] Platinum the Trinity Actual Discussion Thread The First

[Cirno]

Yeah, that's right. That situation seems the most likely given what we've seen so far.

[C0R]

Hokay. Now besides that I have a question.

Air Persia (236A – also executable in air) – followups A/B/C (up to three times) – tramples down the opponent from above with her pogo stick; the followups change the landing place, while the C followup is an aerial ender that earns more damage and okizeme.

I shuffled through quite a few videos looking for this ability but was never able to pick it out, does anyone have the link, if one even exists at the moment?

[Yggjrasil]

I think I posted a video of her doing that, on page 3 or 4. but yeah I've also wondered about this move too.

[C0R]

If you mean this video,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jgQyLiIkDE

The only ability I see that lines up with the description is at 00:04 seconds in. Uses it as a filler/link in the video. I don't know if that's actually the ability, but it seems to match.

[Yggjrasil]

I've also noticed in that video that she has a move that spins her opponents like Rachel's 5CC. :3

[C0R]

Frying Pan (3 uses)

A frying pan.

5D – Swings the frying pan. Short reach, but will spin opponent on hit. Attacking afterwards will keep them in standing state.

Looks like that.

[Yggjrasil]

Awesome, I sure do wish the screen wasn't cut off in that video so that I can see more.

[C0R]

Aye.

Capture bubble does not seem to float on hit. From what I can see in the Loketest2 vid here anyway.

So theoretically... Bubbling a standing opponent leads to a command grab/normal grab potential?

That could be very strong with the discovered 5k combo on corner throw.

[Yggjrasil]

Those vertical missiles are hella good at catching back teching it seems and the bubble is very good for catching people IADing, Carl and Arakune players are gonna hate this match-up.

[Starlight777]

With all this being said her bubbles probably won't see any halfscreen use unless the opponent has no useful projectiles whatsoever.(Examples:Tao,Noel,and Valk)Also has anyone accurately calculated her health from the match vids? I'm not buying the 10.5k thing just yet.And speaking of match vids its a real shame she loses in most of the ones we have currently.

Edit:I said Tao and Noel because most players never ever use optic barrel or kitty litter(think that's the name)

If using bubble forces the opponent to destroy it, you can punish the action required to destroy it. Theoretically, the bubble accomplishes just as much by dying as it does hitting.

[Starlight777]

But didn't someone say earlier that projectiles go clean through it? That could mean Platinum may have to block a projectile and not be able to punish for popping it.

At least we can thank the heavens that the bubble can be fired in more than one trajectory.

[C0R]

True true. We'll have to wait and see about optimal usage.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER IDLE ANIMATION, IT'S BROKENTIER HIPNOTIC.

I think the estimated 10k~ health sounds about right, she doesn't apper to do huge amounts of damage, so it sounds pretty fair.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Quick question:

Are the CAT MISSILES like... some kinda Charged Stun Edge like thing? You know, multiple hit, it nulifies smaller projectiles, slow as heck startup, etc.

[Yggjrasil]

Her idle animation is pretty cute, It's similar to May's.

[Starlight777]

As long as her health isn't in the Carl and Tao area(9500) I shouldn't feel too worried about closing in on your average,common as oxygen Ragna player.

[C0R]

I hope it's a case where different items encourage different methods, but don't inhibit your ability to perform in certain situations.

As for the earlier question about missiles, from what I can tell it's basically a half-sized, double speed Volante, and should be probably be used accordingly.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

>>half-sized, double speed Volante

... wha

[C0R]

Volante is Nirvana's shadow ball, it has a very very slow startup, travels quickly with a hotbox twice the size of the missile's.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Wha

But I swear Platina's CAT MISSILES are huge. And she shoots 2 of them at once (at least in the first trailer that featured her).

[C0R]

Oh, I thought you meant the minimissiles, I think the cat ones are the install version. No knowledge on the big ones yet to my knowledge.

That's pretty interesting, though I'm sure if you command grabbed/normal grabbed it would most likely be a purple.

Get a lifelead, idle. Your opponant will be too mesmerized to even fight back. Win by time over. Seriously though, it's such a jolly idle animation, I love it.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

>>BROKENTIER HIPNOTIC

>>jolly idle animation

lol pedos

Damn, Arcsys is taking a while to release Platina. I hope we get her for early december, at least.

[C0R]

Maybes tricky delay would open up options for a throw counter GETB style. At the very least the frame advantage is obscene, you could probably land a super during it.

[Yggjrasil]

usually for things like that to connect (ex. Hazama's Bloody Fangs to Jayoku Houtenjin), the overall damage is scaled down to minuscule, and yeah I would hope that the bubble is used for resets,oki or tricking people who like escaping from blockstrings using bashdash.
